As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this leaves the compat method pointers stale. Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code. Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice() will need to call this new function after doing so too. With help from Patrick McHardy. Tested-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A commit c1b56878 "tc: policing requires a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general. This is too rigorous: a rate estimator is needed only when police's "avrate" option is used.

Commit 6833c043 introduced the phy auto-powerdown capability. While the APD feature only works for 5761 and 5784 asic revisions, the (harmless portion of the) code was applied to all 5705 and newer devices. However, the 5906 phy departs from the usual design. This commit was interfering with the 5906's ability to negotiate link against some switches. This patch corrects the problem.

Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw() won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, modular tokenring ("tr") lacks a license and fails to load: tr: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. tr: Unknown symbol proc_net_fops_create Beacuse of this, no tokenring driver can load if it depends on modular tr. Fix this by adding GPL module license as it is in the kernel. With this fix, tr module loads fine and tms380 driver also loads. Well, it does'nt work but that's a different bug.

The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error. Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :). This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The cacheid_init() function assumes that if cpu_architecture() returns 7, the caches are VIPT_NONALIASING. The cpu_architecture() function returns the version of the supported MMU features (e.g. TEX remapping) but it doesn't make any assumptions about the cache type. The patch adds the checking of the Cache Type Register for the ARMv7 format. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP board. Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels.

If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED state, the kernel get panic. This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds and panic. This patch fixed the problem. This bug can be test by SCTP Conformance Test Suite <http://networktest.sourceforge.net/>.
