The aalgos/ealgos fields are only 32 bits wide. However, af_key tries to test them with the expression 1 << id where id can be as large as 253. This produces different behaviour on different architectures. The following patch explicitly checks whether ID is greater than 31 and fails the check if that's the case. We cannot easily extend the mask to be longer than 32 bits due to exposure to user-space. Besides, this whole interface is obsolete anyway in favour of the xfrm_user interface which doesn't use this bit mask in templates (well not within the kernel anyway).

tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() is reading data from nvram into allocated buffer before overwriting a part of it with user-supplied data. Then it feeds the entire page back to nvram. It should be storing the words it had read as little-endian, not as host-endian. Note that tg3_set_eeprom() does exactly that for padding the same data to full words before it gets passed down to tg3_nvram_write_block() and then to tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered(). Moreover, when we get to sending the entire thing back to nvram, we go through it word-by-word, doing essentially writel(swab32(le32_to_cpu(word)), ...) so if we want them to reach the card in host-independent endianness, we'd better really have all that buffer filled with fixed-endian. For user-supplied part we obviously do have that (it's an array of octets memcpy'd in), ditto for padding of user-supplied part to word boundaries (taken care of in tg3_set_eeprom()). The rest of the buffer gets filled by tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() and it would damn better be consistent with that (and with tg3_get_eeprom(), while we are at it - there we also convert the words read from nvram to little-endian before returning the buffer to user). The bug should get triggered on big-endian boxen when set_eeprom is done for less than entire page. Then the words that should've been unaffected at all will actually get byteswapped in place in nvram. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fixed misannotations, introduced a new helper - tg3_nvram_read_le(). It gets __le32 * instead of u32 * and puts there the value converted to little-endian. A lot of callers of tg3_nvram_read() were doing that; converted them to tg3_nvram_read_le(). At that point the driver is practically endian-clean; the only remaining place is an actual bug, AFAICS; will be dealt with in the next patch.

When using recvfrom() on a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket, I noticed that the MAC address passed back for wireless frames was always completely wrong. The reason for this is that the header parse function assigned to our virtual interfaces is a function parsing an 802.11 rather than 802.3 header. This patch fixes it by keeping the default ethernet header operations assigned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

ps3fb: Update for firmware 2.10 As of PS3 firmware version 2.10, the GPU command buffer size must be at least 2 MiB large. Since we use only a small part of the GPU command buffer and don't want to waste precious XDR memory, move the GPU command buffer back to the start of the XDR memory reserved for ps3fb and let the unused part overlap with the actual frame buffer.

Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually write anything out to fix it. The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is called. Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually remove the page from the page cache.

I tried to upgrade an IA32 chroot on my IA64 to a new glibc with TLS. It kept dying because set_thread_area was returning -ESRCH (bugs.debian.org/451939). I instrumented arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:get_free_idx() and ended up seeing output like [pid] idx desc->a desc->b ----------------------------- [2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b [2710] 1 -> 0 0 [2710] 2 -> 0 0 [2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b [2710] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b [2710] 2 -> 0 0 [2711] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b [2711] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b [2711] 2 -> 48c0ffff 40dff317 which suggested to me that TLS pointers were surviving exec() calls, leading to GDT pointers filling up and the eventual failure of get_free_idx(). I think the solution is flushing the tls array on exec. Signed-Off-By: Ian Wienand <ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation. Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory, e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12 hours run of the above. The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization, because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than a physical one.
