The EeePC 4G ("701") implements CFVS, but it is not supported by the pre-installed OS, and the original option to change it in the BIOS setup screen was removed in later versions. Judging by the lack of "Super Hybrid Engine" on Asus product pages, this applies to all "701" models (4G/4G Surf/2G Surf). So Asus made a deliberate decision not to support it on this model. We have several reports that using it can cause the system to hang [1]. That said, it does not happen all the time. Some users do not experience it at all (and apparently wish to continue "right-clocking"). Check for the EeePC 701 using DMI. If met, then disable writes to the "cpufv" sysfs attribute and log an explanatory message. Add a "cpufv_disabled" attribute which allow users to override this policy. Writing to this attribute will log a second message. The sysfs attribute is more useful than a module option, because it makes it easier for userspace scripts to provide consistent behaviour (according to user configuration), regardless of whether the kernel includes this change.

This fixes CERT-FI FICORA #341748 Discovered by Olli Jarva and Tuomo Untinen from the CROSS project at Codenomicon Ltd. Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being non-NULL at this point. We fixed that in commit e76b2b25 ("[IPV6]: Do no rely on skb->dst before it is assigned.") However commit 483a47d2 ("ipv6: added net argument to IP6_INC_STATS_BH") put a new version of the same bug into this function. Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off, the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference would not occur. So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by people turning it on explicitly for namespace development. With help from Eugene Teo <eugene@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

The B0 revision of the 5717 will not get enough testing by the time 2.6.33 ships. Since the kernel is already at RC3, serdes support will require too many patches to fix. For these reasons, this patch disables 5717 serdes support and will refuse to attach to all 5717 devices that are later than an A0 revision. Signed-off-by:

There are some tg3 devices that require the driver to post new rx buffers in smaller increments. Commit 4361935a, "tg3: Consider rx_std_prod_idx a hw mailbox" changed how the driver tracks the rx producer ring updates, but it does not make any special considerations for the above-mentioned devices. For those devices, it is possible for the driver to hit the special case path, which updates the hardware mailbox register but skips updating the shadow software mailbox member. If the special case path represents the final mailbox update for this ISR iteration, the hardware and software mailbox values will be out of sync. Ultimately, this will cause the driver to use a stale mailbox value on the next iteration, which will appear to the hardware as a large rx buffer update. Bad things ensue. The fix is to update the software shadow mailbox member when the special case path is taken. Signed-off-by:

Commit 87668d35, titled "tg3: Don't touch RCB nic addresses", tried to avoid assigning the nic address of the standard producer ring. Unfortunately, the default nic address is not correct for the 5787, the 5755M, or the 57765. This patch reenables the old behavior and opts out of the assignment only for the 5717. Signed-off-by:

When the interface is down and we are using polled mode for MCDI operations, we busy-wait for completion for approximately 1 jiffy using udelay() and then back off to schedule(). But the completion will not wake the task, since we are using polled mode! We must use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() instead. Signed-off-by:

A previous 82577 workaround that set the MDIO access speed to slow mode for every PHY register read/write when the cable is unplugged should instead set the access mode to always be slow before any PHY register access. Since the mode bit gets cleared when the PHY is reset, set the mode after every PHY reset. Signed-off-by:

Commit ac4c2a3b broke the build of all powerpc boot wrappers. It attempts to add an include of autoconf.h but used the wrong path for it. It also adds -D__KERNEL__ to our boot wrapper, both things that we pretty much didn't do on purpose so far. We want our boot wrapper to remain independent enough of the kernel for various reasons, one of them being that you can "wrap" an existing kernel at distro install time which allows to ship one kernel image and a set of boot wrappers for different platforms, the wrappers don't have to be built out of the same kernel build tree. It's also incorrect to do what the patch does in our boot environment since we may not have a proper alignment exception handler which means we may not be able to fixup the few cases where an unaligned access will need SW emulation (depends on the core variant, could be when crossing page or segment boundaries for example). This patch fixes it by putting the old code back in and using the new "fancy" variant only when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, which happens not to be set on powerpc since we don't include autoconf.h. It also reverts the changes to our boot wrapper Makefile. This means that x86 should, afaik, keep the optimisations since its boot wrapper does include autoconf.h and define __KERNEL__ (though I doubt they make that much different outside of slow embedded processors).

If __block_prepare_write() was failed in block_write_begin(), the allocated blocks can be outside of ->i_size. But new truncate_pagecache() in vmtuncate() does nothing if new < old. It means the above usage is not working anymore. So, this patch fixes it by removing "new < old" check. It would need more cleanup/change. But, now -rc and truncate working is in progress, so, this tried to fix it minimum change. Acked-by:
