      [IPSEC]: Fix BEET output · 732c8bd5
      Herbert Xu authored 
      The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem.

This was tracked down to a potential livelock in
return_unused_surplus_hugepages().  In the case where we have surplus
pages on some node, but no free pages on the same node, we may never
break out of the loop. To avoid this livelock, terminate the search if
we iterate a number of times equal to the number of online nodes without
freeing a page.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft and Adam Litke for helping with debugging and
the patch.

      hugetlb: indicate surplus huge page counts in per-node meminfo · a1de0919
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored 
      Currently we show the surplus hugetlb pool state in /proc/meminfo, but
not in the per-node meminfo files, even though we track the information
on a per-node basis. Printing it there can help track down dynamic pool
bugs including the one in the follow-on patch.

      x86: fix performance drop for glx · d546b67a
      Suresh Siddha authored 
      fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

      x86: fix trim mtrr not to setup_memory two times · 76c32418
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get
max_pfn needed for mtrr trimming.

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...

[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
  setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
  which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
  that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of
  MTRR-trimming systems. ]

Er, yeah.  The patch below should fix it.  This should probably go into
2.6.25.

Oops, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL wasn't being declared due to this header
being missing.
