There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message. The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message. When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely. Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link things using frag_list.

This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing temporary spillover of the receive buffer. - If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn, accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with higher TSNs. - Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks even if we run out of receive buffer space.

Patch from George G. Davis The ARM VFP FPSCR register is corrupted when a condition flags modifying VFP instruction is followed by a non-condition flags modifying VFP instruction and both instructions raise exceptions. The fix is to read the current FPSCR in between emulation of these two instructions and use the current FPSCR value when handling the second exception. Signed-off-by: George G.

The block layer keeps a reference (driverfs_dev) to the struct device associated with the block device, and uses it internally for generating uevents in block_uevent. Block device uevents include umounting the partition, which can occur after the backing device has been removed. Unfortunately, this reference is not counted. This means that if the struct device is removed from the device tree, the block layers reference will become stale. Guard against this by holding a reference to the struct device in add_disk(), and only drop the reference when we're releasing the gendisk kobject - in other words when we can be sure that no further uevents will be generated for this block device.

This patch fixes hello messages sent when a node is a level 1 router. Slightly contrary to the spec (maybe) VMS ignores hello messages that do not name level2 routers that it also knows about. So, here we simply name all the routers that the node knows about rather just other level1 routers. (I hope the patch is clearer than the description. sorry).

Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in tcp_close can lead to dead locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the tx skb in process context with BH enabled. We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock. The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else. By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its state cannot change. So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock. If the socket state has transitioned to TCP_CLOSE in the time being, we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is still ours to keep. Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward. This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However, this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes the orphan count test by one. Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal. This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

When a Choice element contains an unsupported choice no error is returned and parsing continues normally, but the choice value is not set and contains data from the last parsed message. This may in turn lead to parsing of more stale data and following crashes.
