[PATCH] softmac: avoid assert in ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate Unconfigured bcm43xx device can hit an assert() during wx_get_rate queries. This is because bcm43xx calls ieee80211softmac_start late (i.e. during open instead of probe). bcm43xx_net_open -> bcm43xx_init_board -> bcm43xx_select_wireless_core -> ieee80211softmac_start Fix is to check that device is running before completing ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate.

From Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> [PATCH] knfsd: allow nfsd READDIR to return 64bit cookies ->readdir passes lofft_t offsets (used as nfs cookies) to nfs3svc_encode_entry{,_plus}, but when they pass it on to encode_entry it becomes an 'off_t', which isn't good. So filesystems that returned 64bit offsets would lose. Signed-off-by:Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

ide: use correct IDE error recovery IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set. This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLEà IMMEDIATE when drive is not busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to recover using this error handling). The correct thing to do is issue a SRST followed by a SET FEATURES command. This is what Western Digital recommends for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does. à Ità also does not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell. Bart: * port the patch over the current tree * undo the recalibration code removal * send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status * don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK} type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests * some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are no pending drive->special requests * update comments and patch description * any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-) Signed-off-by:Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Acked-by:

[TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by:

[SCSI]: Fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd scatterlist handling This fixes a regression caused by commit: 2dc611de The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got. Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up in the sense buffer. Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers are on sparc64: default: printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name); __scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd); scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr); err = -EIO; This is the error Tom Callaway reported in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2 Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

HID: Do not discard truncated input reports Truncated reports should not be discarded since it prevents buggy devices from communicating with userspace. Prior to the regession introduced in 2.6.20, a shorter-than-expected report in hid_input_report() was passed thru after having the missing bytes cleared. This behavior was established over a few patches in the 2.6.early-teens days, including commit cd610457. This patch restores the previous behavior and fixes the regression. Signed-off-by:

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomic by moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later. Signed-off-by:

Commit 2e3646e5 changed the way the split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep accordingly - if changing a config option from or to m, files referencing the respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the corresponding CONFIG_...) didn't get rebuilt. The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three different symbols: SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1' SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1' But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case, so only the =y case is honoured. This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with _MODULE is found we skip that part and only look for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version. Signed-off-by:

When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says, we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch. This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim, effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg format: <Appletalk Killer> { # Ethernet header ----- XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC 00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC 00 1D # Length # LLC header ----- AA AA 03 08 00 07 80 9B # Appletalk # Appletalk header ----- 00 1B # Packet length (invalid) 00 01 # Fake checksum 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source networks 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source nodes and ports # Payload ----- 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 } The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim. The severity is mitigated by two requirements: * The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I suspect this isn't so frequent. * AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP. The bug has been reported back in June 2004: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979 But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both reporters had vanished meanwhile. This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2 And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels 2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are affected. Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the faulty frame from the network. Signed-off-by:Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

Commit d720bc4b partially removed a private implementation of baud speed decoding. However it doesn't seem to be complete: after the speed is decoded, it is still being used as an index to a local speed table (array overrun, no doubt).

libata bugfix: HDIO_DRIVE_TASK I was trying to use HDIO_DRIVE_TASK for something today, and discovered that the libata implementation does not copy over the upper four LBA bits from args[6]. This is serious, as any tools using this ioctl would have their commands applied to the wrong sectors on the drive, possibly resulting in disk corruption. Ideally, newer apps should use SG_IO/ATA_16 directly, avoiding this bug. But with libata poised to displace drivers/ide, better compatibility here is a must. This patch fixes libata to use the upper four LBA bits passed in from the ioctl. The original drivers/ide implementation copies over all bits except for the master/slave select bit. With this patch, libata will copy only the four high-order LBA bits, just in case there are assumptions elsewhere in libata (?). Signed-off-by:

[CRYPTO] api: scatterwalk_copychunks() fails to advance through scatterlist In the loop in scatterwalk_copychunks(), if walk->offset is zero, then scatterwalk_pagedone rounds that up to the nearest page boundary: walk->offset += PAGE_SIZE - 1; walk->offset &= PAGE_MASK; which is a no-op in this case, so we don't advance to the next element of the scatterlist array: if (walk->offset >= walk->sg->offset + walk->sg->length) scatterwalk_start(walk, sg_next(walk->sg)); and we end up copying the same data twice. It appears that other callers of scatterwalk_{page}done first advance walk->offset, so I believe that's the correct thing to do here. This caused a bug in NFS when run with krb5p security, which would cause some writes to fail with permissions errors--for example, writes of less than 8 bytes (the des blocksize) at the start of a file. A git-bisect shows the bug was originally introduced by 5c64097a, first in 2.6.19-rc1. Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by:

"ide: fix drive side 80c cable check, take 2" patch from Tejun Heo (commit fab59375) fixed 80c bit test (bit13 of word93) but we also need to fix master/slave IDENTIFY order (slave device should be probed first in order to make it release PDIAG- signal) and we should also check for pre-ATA3 slave devices (which may not release PDIAG- signal). Unfortunately the fact that IDE driver doesn't reset devices itself helps only a bit as it seems that some BIOS-es reset ATA devices after programming the chipset, some BIOS-es can be set to not probe/configure selected devices, there may be no BIOS in case of add-on cards etc. Since we are quite late in the release cycle and the required changes will affect a lot of systems just revert the fix for now.

I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after 2.6.18). Commit 4aff5e23 from Jens Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and cmd_flags. In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according cmd_type. However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as driver-specific flag for the debug purposes. As result all i2o requests have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with I/O error: i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 unable to read partition table block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and restores the normal driver's work.
