Some devices (e.g. Qlogic iSCSI HBA hardware like QLA4010 up to firmware 3.0.0.4) initiates TCP with SYN and PUSH flags set. The Linux TCP/IP stack deals fine with that, but the connection tracking code doesn't. This patch alters TCP connection tracking to accept SYN+PUSH as a valid flag combination.

The recent change to netlink dump "done" callback handling broke IPv6 which played dirty tricks with the "done" callback. This causes an infinite loop during a dump. The following patch fixes it.

This patch adds a new function, sbusfb_compat_ioctl() to drivers/video/sbuslib.c and uses it as compat_ioctl in all sbus fb drivers This remove the last per-arch compat ioctl bits in arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c so it would be nice if people could test if this actually copiles and works and if yes apply it :) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic code. The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

This fixes drivers/built-in.o: In function `flexcop_frontend_init': : undefined reference to `lgdt330x_attach' [ Side note: I really dislike that dvb people want to include every possible frontend into the kernel - I only need the mt312 one for my Skystar2 card. I'd highly appreciate it this would be made selectable again... ] Signed-off-by: Prakash Punnoor <prakash@punnoor.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected anymore. Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own latter/former methods. This patch removes implicit former/latter handling.

The original implementation directly used dispatch queue. As new generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic. This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder - how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end.

elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1]. This patch fixes both bugs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060 .. EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed) .. elevator_init+0x38 blk_init_queu_node+0xc9 floppy_init+0xdb do_initcalls+0x23 init+0x10a init+0x0 Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.

Although according to the documentation this largely only affects desktop LED control, let's make sure we set the ATAPI bit when we have an ATAPI device attached to the port.

Don't directly reference qc->n_elem, as that might cause an off-by-one error for misaligned (padded) ATAPI transfers.

Also introduces a sysctl option to configure the receive buffer accounting policy to be either at socket or association level.

On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.

It is possible to get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without a valid association. This happens when processing OOTB packets and the cached route entry is no longer valid. However, when responding to OOTB packets we already properly set the source address based on the information in the OOTB packet. So, if we we get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without an association we can simply return.

After the last merge of the new unified 'powerpc' architecture, ppc64 no longer compiles cleanly as a standalone architecture. Some bits and pieces still exist as files under the old ppc64 hierarchy, but the old "ARCH=ppc64" is dead. So if "uname" says ppc64, that now implies that the default architecture should be "powerpc".
