Found the problem, I believe: an object lesson in the need for great caution using ++. [...] @@ -213,6 +213,7 @@ static void ibmveth_replenish_buffer_poo } free_index = pool->consumer_index++ % pool->size; + pool->consumer_index = free_index; index = pool->free_map[free_index]; ibmveth_assert(index != IBM_VETH_INVALID_MAP); Since the ++ is used as post-increment, the increment is not included in free_index, and so the added line effectively reverts the increment. The produced_index side has an analagous bug. The following change corrects this: The recent commit 751ae21c introduced a bug in the producer/consumer index calculation in the ibmveth driver - incautious use of the post-increment ++ operator resulted in an increment being immediately reverted. This patch corrects the logic. Without this patch, the driver oopses almost immediately after activation on at least some machines.

changes due to qe_lib changes include: o removed inclusion of platform header file o removed platform_device code, replaced with of_device o removed typedefs o uint -> u32 conversions o removed following defines: QE_SIZEOF_BD, BD_BUFFER_ARG, BD_BUFFER_CLEAR, BD_BUFFER, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH_SET, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH, and BD_BUFFER_SET because they hid sizeof/in_be32/out_be32 operations from the reader. o removed irrelevant comments, added others to resemble removed BD_ defines o const'd and uncasted all get_property() assignments bugfixes, courtesy of Scott Wood, include: - Read phy_address as a u32, not u8. - Match on type == "network" as well as compatible == "ucc_geth", as device_is_compatible() will only compare up to the length of the test string, allowing "ucc_geth_phy" to match as well. - fixes the MAC setting code in ucc_geth.c. The old code was overwriting and dereferencing random stack contents.

The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter and receiver were sharing the same space. The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that. The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all! This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit. Only the Yukon-FE chip is Marvell 88E803X (10/100 only) are affected.

During the handling of the PCI error recovery sequence, the current e1000 driver erroneously blocks a device reset for any but the first PCI function. It shouldn't -- this is a cut-n-paste error from a different driver (which tolerated only one hardware reset per hardware card).

This reverts commit 4596c75c as requested by Olaf Hering. It causes compile errors, and says Olaf: "This change is also wrong, the autoloading works perfect with 2.6.18, no need to add random PCI ids. See commit a0245f7a, platform devices have now a modalias entry in sysfs. The network card is not a PCI device." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel. It should go in 2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series. This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many distros seem to be making it the default. The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available. It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and before the lock is gained. This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem. However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

A disk generated some I/O error, after it, I hitted J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) in journal_stop(). It seems to happened on ext3_truncate() path from stack trace. Then, maybe the following case may trigger J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0). ext3_truncate() -> ext3_free_branches() -> ext3_journal_test_restart() -> ext3_journal_restart() -> journal_restart() transaction->t_updates--; /* another process aborted journal */ -> start_this_handle() returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++; -> ext3_journal_stop() -> journal_stop() J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) If journal was aborted in middle of journal_restart(), ext3_truncate() may trigger J_ASSERT().

Interrupts must be disabled during alternative instruction patching. On systems with high timer IRQ rates, or when running in an emulator, timing differences can result in random kernel panics because of running partially patched instructions. This doesn't yet fix NMIs, which requires extricating the patch code from the late bug checking and is logically separate (and also less likely to cause problems).
