posix-timers which deliver an ignored signal are currently rearmed in the timer softirq: This is necessary because the timer needs to be delivered again when SIG_IGN is removed. This is not a problem, when the interval is reasonable. With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is requeued onto the softirq pending list right away. This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan ! The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change. For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the timer_gettime() interface, but... The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well, but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing to worry about right now. I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review in the next days. This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

Nicolas Ferre reports oops from flush_dcache_page() on ARM when using SLUB: which reuses page->mapping as page->slab.

If PORTS_IMPL register is zero, ahci initialize it to full mask corresponding to nr_ports in the CAP register. hpriv->cap, which is initialized at the end of the function, is incorrectly used as value of CAP causing ahci to always override PORTS_IMPL to 0x1 if it's zero. Fix it. This fixes a bug where early ich6 ahci can only access the first port. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Code intended to check DMA status was checking DMA command register. Moreover firmware seems to "forget" to set DMA capable bit for the slave device (at least in RAID mode but without ITE RAID volumes) so check device ID for DMA capable bit when deciding whether to use DMA and remove DMA status check completely. Thanks to Pavol Simo for the bugreport and testing the initial fix. This change unfortunately still doesn't fix DMA in RAID mode (which works fine with IDE it821x) but Alan is working on the missing pieces (pata_it821x vs libata EH issues).

I happened to notice that a system with an NVidia NIC using the forcedeth driver won't wake-on-LAN if the interface was in promiscuous mode when you power off. By experiment, it looks like the hardware needs to have NvRegPacketFilterFlags set to NVREG_PFF_ALWAYS|NVREG_PFF_MYADDR (i.e., receive unicast packets to my address) in order for WoL to work.

The following patch (based on a patch from Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>) removes use after free conditions in the unregister path for the bonding master. Without this patch, an operation of the form "echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters" would trigger a NULL pointer dereference in sysfs. I was not able to induce the failure with the non-sysfs code path, but for consistency I updated that code as well. I also did some testing of the bonding /proc file being open while the bond is being deleted, and didn't see any problems there.

It doesn't look like spidernet hardware can really checksum all protocols, the code looks like it does IPV4 only. If so, it should use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. The driver doesn't need it's own get/set for ethtool tx csum, and it should use the standard ethtool_op_get_link.
