Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP board. Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels. Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred to allow the network interface to work.

If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED state, the kernel get panic. This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds and panic. This patch fixed the problem. This bug can be test by SCTP Conformance Test Suite <http://networktest.sourceforge.net/>.

The Motorola MOTOMAGX phones (Z6, E8, Zn5 so far) are providing combined ACM/BLAN USB configuration. Since it has Vendor Specific class, the corresponding drivers (cdc-acm, zaurus) can't find it just by interface info. This patch adds usb id so the zaurus driver can properly handle this combined device. Signed-off-by: Dmitriy Taychenachev <dimichxp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of defaulting to 1. This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate. cdc_ether is an example of such a driver.

The current implementation of carrier detect in veth is broken. It reports the link is down until both sides of the veth pair are administatively up and then forever after it reports link up.

The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround. Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094 But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.

This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem to be much better. I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine. Original description: This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address. This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.

The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird problems. This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points. I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

Commit 8e961870 removed the FREEZE/THAW handling in xfs_compat_ioctl but never added any compat handler back, so now any freeze/thaw request from a 32-bit binary ond 64-bit userspace will fail. As these ioctls are 32/64-bit compatible two simple COMPATIBLE_IOCTL entries in fs/compat_ioctl.c will do the job.
