This patch (as870) adds a delay to ehci-hcd's bus_resume routine. Apparently there are controllers and/or BIOSes out there which need such a delay to get the ports back into their correct state. This fixes Bugzilla #8190. Signed-off-by:

adjust legacy IDE resource setting (v2) The change to force legacy mode IDE channels' resources to fixed non-zero values confuses (at least some versions of) X, because the values reported by the kernel and those readable from PCI config space aren't consistent anymore. Therefore, this patch arranges for the respective BARs to also get updated if possible. Signed-off-by:

[IA64] fix NULL pointer in ia64/irq_chip-mask/unmask function This patch fixes boot failure because irq_desc->mask() is NULL. - Added mask/unmask functions to ia64's irq desc function table. - rename hw_interrupt_type to irq_chip. hw_interrupt_type is old name. - Tony: Added same change to arch/ia64/sn/kernel/irq.c as pointed out by Eric Biederman ... mask/unmask functions there can be no-op.

The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std" CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place. This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better match what the category mapping verification code returns. Signed-off-by:

Recent alterations to the gdth_fill_raw_cmd() path no longer set the sg_ranz field for zero transfer commands. However, this field is used lower down in the function to initialise ha->cmd_len to the size of the firmware packet. If this uninitialised field contains a bogus value, ha->cmd_len can become much larger than the actual firmware packet and end up oopsing in gdth_copy_cmd() as it tries to copy this huge packet to the device (usually because it runs into an unallocated page). The fix is to initialise the sg_ranz field to zero at the start of gdth_fill_raw_cmd(). Signed-off-by:

[SPARC]: Fix bus handling in build_device_resources(). We mistakedly modify 'bus' in the innermost loop. What should happen is that at each register index iteration, we start with the same 'bus'. So preserve it's value at the top level, and use a loop local variable 'dbus' for iteration. This bug causes registers other than the first to be decoded improperly. Signed-off-by:

At least the Keyspan USA-19HS USB-to-serial converter supports two different configurations, one where the input endpoints have interrupt transfer type and one where they are bulk endpoints. The default UHCI configuration uses the interrupt input endpoints. The keyspan driver, OTOH, assumes that the device has only bulk endpoints (all URBs are initialized by calling usb_fill_bulk_urb in keyspan.c/ keyspan_setup_urb). This causes the interval field of the input URBs to have a value of zero instead of one, which 'accidentally' worked with Linux at least up to 2.6.17.11 but stopped to with 2.6.18, which changed the UHCI support code handling URBs for interrupt endpoints. The patch below modifies to driver to initialize its input URBs either as interrupt or as bulk URBs, depending on the transfertype contained in the associated endpoint descriptor (only tested with the default configuration) enabling the driver to again receive data from the serial converter. Greg K-H reworked the patch. Signed-off-by:

Some versions of the bcm43xx chips only support 30-bit DMA, which means that the descriptors and buffers must be in the first 1 GB of RAM. On the i386 and x86_64 architectures with more than 1 GB RAM, an incorrect assignment may occur. This patch ensures that the various DMA addresses are within the capability of the chip. Testing has been limited to x86_64 as no one has an i386 system with more than 1 GB RAM. Signed-off-by:

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: fix incorrect classification of IPv6 fragments as ESTABLISHED The individual fragments of a packet reassembled by conntrack have the conntrack reference from the reassembled packet attached, but nfctinfo is not copied. This leaves it initialized to 0, which unfortunately is the value of IP_CT_ESTABLISHED. The result is that all IPv6 fragments are tracked as ESTABLISHED, allowing them to bypass a usual ruleset which accepts ESTABLISHED packets early. Signed-off-by:

[NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup endless loops Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling: - unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means we might iterate forever without making forward progress. This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different packet is handled. - taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped. Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark them as dying and skip confirmation based on that. Signed-off-by:

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after. AK: Fixed compilation for UP kernels Signed-off-by:

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com> When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device. A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later. Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay. But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes. Use a real udelay() to fix this. Fix verified on SunBlade100. Signed-off-by:
