      [TG3]: Exit irq handler during chip reset. · d18edcb2
      Michael Chan authored 
      On most tg3 chips, the memory enable bit in the PCI command register
gets cleared during chip reset and must be restored before accessing
PCI registers using memory cycles.  The chip does not generate
interrupt during chip reset, but the irq handler can still be called
because of irq sharing or irqpoll.  Reading a register in the irq
handler can cause a master abort in this scenario and may result in a
crash on some architectures.

Use the TG3_FLAG_CHIP_RESETTING flag to tell the irq handler to exit
without touching any registers.  The checking of the flag is in the
"slow" path of the irq handler and will not affect normal performance.
The msi handler is not shared and therefore does not require checking
the flag.

Thanks to Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de> for reporting the problem.

      This flag to support multiple PCIX split completions was never used
because of hardware bugs.  This will make room for a new flag.

      [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking. · f11e6659
      David S. Miller authored 
      As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the
matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we
do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure
to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes
reachable faster.

Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked
list of routes at each leaf.  The round robin code executes during
lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader.  A small local
spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all
for two reasons:

1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with
   read lock held):

	walk routes finding head and tail

	spin_lock();
	rotate list using head and tail
	spin_unlock();

   While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can
   end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed
   to corrupt the list when it gets the lock.  This ends up causing
   the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting.

2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as
   a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they
   expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the
   lock in that way.

So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using
a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking
semantics.

Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer.  This way we
don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin
pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need
to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer
itself.  We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when
the entry it is pointing to is removed.

The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this
was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in.

      [NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes · 954b2e7f
      Ralf Baechle authored 
       o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years.  I've replaced it
   with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate
   information.
 o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y.  AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles
   in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it.  I hope this gets Linux
   distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled.
   The price for this would be very small.
 o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are
   meant to do.
 o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting.  Use just help.
 o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language
   to Kconfig for consistency.
 o Fixup dependencies.

      [NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling. · ecbb4169
      Alexey Kuznetsov authored 
      ->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
neigh->parms etc.

The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
it.

I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down.  But it
would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.

      [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage · e1701c68
      Thomas Graf authored 
      Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.

Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
availability of attribute.
