This fixes not one, but _two_, silly (but admittedly hard to hit) bugs in the ext2 filesystem "readdir()" function. It also cleans up the code to avoid the unnecessary goto mess. The bugs were related to re-valiating the f_pos value after somebody had either done an "lseek()" on the directory to an invalid offset, or when the offset had become invalid due to a file being unlinked in the directory. The code would not only set the f_version too eagerly, it would also not update f_pos appropriately for when the offset fixup took place. When that happened, we'd occasionally subsequently fail the readdir() even when we shouldn't (no real harm done, but an ugly printk, and obviously you would end up not necessarily seeing all entries). Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@google.com> who noticed the problem and had a test-case for it, and also fixed up a thinko in the first version of this patch.

The problem is in ip_push_pending_frames(), which uses: if (!df) { __ip_select_ident(iph, &rt->u.dst, 0); } else { iph->id = htons(inet->id++); } instead of ip_select_ident(). Right now I think the code is a nonsense. Most likely, I copied it from old ip_build_xmit(), where it was really special, we had to decide whether to generate unique ID when generating the first (well, the last) fragment. In ip_push_pending_frames() it does not make sense, it should use plain ip_select_ident() instead. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fix handling of cramfs images created by util-linux containing empty regular files. Images created by cramfstools 1.x were ok.

A recent change to compat. dev_ifconf() in fs/compat_ioctl.c causes ifconf data to be truncated 1 entry too early when copying it to userspace. The correct amount of data (length) is returned, but the final entry is empty (zero, not filled in). The for-loop 'i' check should use <= to allow the final struct ifreq32 to be copied. I also used the ifconf-corruption program in kernel bugzilla #4746 to make sure that this change does not re-introduce the corruption.

The size of the skb carrying the netlink message is not equivalent to the length of the actual netlink message due to padding. ip_queue matches the length of the payload against the original packet size to determine if packet mangling is desired, due to the above wrong assumption arbitary packets may not be mangled depening on their original size.

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.

Only scan I2C address 0x2d. This is the default address and no IT87xxF chip was ever seen on I2C at a different address. These chips are better accessed through their ISA interface anyway.

Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.
