Linus reported that due to mac80211 failing to register the device (due to WoWLAN) his machine crashed etc. as we double-freed the vmalloc() firmware area. His patch to fix it was very similar to this one but I noticed that there's another bug in the area: we complete the completion before starting, so since we're running in a work struct context stop() could be called while in the middle of start() which will almost certainly lead to issues. Make a modification similar to his to avoid the double- free but also move the completion to another spot so it is only done after start() either finished or failed so that stop() can have a consistent state.

sta_info_cleanup locks the sta_list using rcu_read_lock however the delete operation isn't rcu safe. A race between sta_info_cleanup timer being called and a STA being removed can occur which leads to a panic while traversing sta_list. Fix this by switching to the RCU-safe versions.

MacBook Pro models with BCM4331 wireless have been found to have the ext PA lines disabled after resuming from S3 without external power attach. This causes them to be unable to transmit. Add a workaround to ensure that the ext PA lines are enabled on BCM4331. Also extend all handling of ext PA line muxing to BCM43431 as is done in the Broadcom SDK.

When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by:

Mesh station that joins an MBSS is reachable using mesh portal with 6 address frame by mesh stations from another MBSS if these two different MBSSes are bridged. However, if the mesh station later moves into the same MBSS of those mesh stations, it is unreachable by mesh stations in the MBSS due to the mpp_paths table is not deleted. A quick fix is to perform mesh_path_lookup, if it is available for the target destination, mpp_path_lookup is not performed. When the mesh station moves back to its original MBSS, the mesh_paths will be deleted once expired. So, it will be reachable using mpp_path_lookup again. Signed-off-by:

commit 133d40f9 Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Wed Mar 28 16:01:19 2012 +0200 mac80211: do not scan and monitor connection in parallel add bug, which make possible to start a scan and never finish it, so make every new scanning request finish with -EBUSY error. This can happen on code paths where we finish connection monitoring and clear IEEE80211_STA_*_POLL flags, but do not check if scan was deferred. This patch fixes those code paths. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently. Signed-off-by:

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly. Signed-off-by:

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate two 4-byte holes. Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each existing flag (saves 8-bytes). This allows future flags to be added without each consuming an unsigned int. Signed-off-by:

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK reply. Both from Eric Dumazet. 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA. 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently. From Jason Wang. 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we see a CIPSO option. This isn't the right thing to do, we should simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options (if any). Fix from Paul Moore. 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel Apfelbaum. 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random memory. Fix from Jason Wang. 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: fec_mpc52xx: fix timestamp filtering mcs7830: Implement link state detection e1000e: fix Rapid Start Technology support for i217 e1000: look into the page instead of skb->data for e1000_tbi_adjust_stats() r8169: call netif_napi_del at errpaths and at driver unload tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmode 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb() bql: Avoid possible inconsistent calculation. bql: Avoid unneeded limit decrement. bql: Fix POSDIFF() to integer overflow aware. net/mlx4_core: Fix obscure mlx4_cmd_box parameter in QUERY_DEV_CAP net/mlx4_core: Check port out-of-range before using in mlx4_slave_cap net/mlx4_core: Fixes for VF / Guest startup flow net/mlx4_en: Fix improper use of "port" parameter in mlx4_en_event net/mlx4_core: Fix number of EQs used in ICM initialisation net/mlx4_core: Fix the slave_id out-of-range test in mlx4_eq_int -

This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery. The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get reverted here. The list of reverted commits is: fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5f - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro. The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc had an explicit override to "unsigned short". Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short. The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume() code, and leaving an extra parenthesis. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bit * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: frv: Remove bogus closing parenthesis
