We assumed that unix_autobind() never fails if kzalloc() succeeded.
But unix_autobind() allows only 1048576 names. If /proc/sys/fs/file-max is
larger than 1048576 (e.g. systems with more than 10GB of RAM), a local user can
consume all names using fork()/socket()/bind().
If all names are in use, those who call bind() with addr_len == sizeof(short)
or connect()/sendmsg() with setsockopt(SO_PASSCRED) will continue
while (1)
yield();
loop at unix_autobind() till a name becomes available.
This patch adds a loop counter in order to give up after 1048576 attempts.
Calling yield() for once per 256 attempts may not be sufficient when many names
are already in use, for __unix_find_socket_byname() can take long time under
such circumstance. Therefore, this patch also adds cond_resched() call.
Note that currently a local user can consume 2GB of kernel memory if the user
is allowed to create and autobind 1048576 UNIX domain sockets. We should
consider adding some restriction for autobind operation.

vortex_interrupt() holds vp->window_lock over multiple register
accesses to reduce locking overhead. However it also needs to call
vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for
access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock
again.
Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set
the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may
call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock,
lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the
potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC.

net: fix tx queue selection for bridged devices implementing select_queue
When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of
a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated
to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce3293dc931fab19beb472a8bde1295aebe,
"net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to
sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead
of calling the select_queue callback.
In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the
select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00
because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different
tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly.
Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only
afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.

Some of the variables (slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx)

jiffies will never be before slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start,

gro: fix different skb headrooms
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.
1) fix skb_segment()
skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()
2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list
skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.
Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:

vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to
generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more
specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain.
Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking
the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl()
returns.
Since there is currently no need for any function to call
mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them
to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering
between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.

wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leak
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough
for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite
possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect()
returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev,
which is not yet ready.
To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
phy_start().

3c59x: Fix deadlock between boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_tx
If netconsole is in use, there is a possibility for deadlock in 3c59x between
boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit. Both routines take the vp->lock,
and if netconsole is in use, a pr_* call from the boomerang_interrupt routine
will result in the netconsole code attempting to trnasmit an skb, which can try
to take the same spin lock, resulting in deadlock.
The fix is pretty straightforward. This patch allocats a bit in the 3c59x
private structure to indicate that its handling an interrupt. If we get into
the transmit routine and that bit is set, we can be sure that we have recursed
and will deadlock if we continue, so instead we just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so
the stack requeues the skb to try again later.

ehea: Fix synchronization between HW and SW send queue
ehea: Fix synchronization between HW and SW send queue
When memory is added to / removed from a partition via the Memory DLPAR
mechanism, the eHEA driver has to do a couple of things to reflect the
memory change in its own IO address translation tables. This involves
stopping and restarting the HW queues.
During this operation, it is possible that HW and SW pointer into these
queues get out of sync. This results in a situation where packets that
are attached to a send queue are not transmitted immediately, but
delayed until further X packets have been put on the queue.
This patch detects such loss of synchronization, and resets the ehea

net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks
we had a race condition when setting and then
restoring frag_list. Eric attempted to fix it,
but the fix created even worse problems.
However, the original motivation I had when I
added the code that turned out to be racy is
no longer clear to me, since we only copy up
to skb->len to userspace, which doesn't include
the frag_list length. As a result, not doing
any frag_list clearing and restoring avoids
the race condition, while not introducing any
other problems.
Additionally, while preparing this patch I found
that since none of the remaining netlink code is
really aware of the frag_list, we need to use the
original skb's information for packet information
and credentials. This fixes, for example, the
group information received by compat tasks.

ath5k: disable ASPM L0s for all cards
Atheros PCIe wireless cards handled by ath5k do require L0s disabled.
For distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM (this will be enabled
by default in the future in 2.6.36) this will also mean both L1 and L0s
will be disabled when a pre 1.1 PCIe device is detected. We do know L1
works correctly even for all ath5k pre 1.1 PCIe devices though but cannot
currently undue the effect of a blacklist, for details you can read
pcie_aspm_sanity_check() and see how it adjusts the device link
capability.
It may be possible in the future to implement some PCI API to allow
drivers to override blacklists for pre 1.1 PCIe but for now it is
best to accept that both L0s and L1 will be disabled completely for
distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM rather than having this
issue present. Motivation for adding this new API will be to help
with power consumption for some of these devices.
Example of issues you'd see:
- On the Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well
with ASPM enabled, the card will eventually stall on heavy traffic
with often 'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling
ASPM L0s in ath5k fixes these problems.
- On the same card you would see a storm of RXORN interrupts
even though medium is idle.
