      iwlagn: fix DMA sync · e91af0af
      Johannes Berg authored 
      For the RX DMA fix for iwlwifi ("iwlagn: fix RX skb alignment") Luis
pointed out:

I asked around, and he's right, there may be platforms that do not allow
passing such such an address to the DMA API functions. This patch
changes it by using the proper dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu API
invented for this purpose.

      net: Fix memory leak in the proto_register function · 7e56b5d6
      Catalin Marinas authored 
      If the slub allocator is used, kmem_cache_create() may merge two or more
kmem_cache's into one but the cache name pointer is not updated and
kmem_cache_name() is no longer guaranteed to return the pointer passed
to the former function. This patch stores the kmalloc'ed pointers in the
corresponding request_sock_ops and timewait_sock_ops structures.

      tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data · 33cf71ce
      Petr Tesarik authored 
      This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014

Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
with the URG pointer set.

Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
in tcp_transmit_skb().

With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
going to the transmit routine.

As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:

	Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
	Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)
	Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076)
	Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 (PCI ID 14e4:164c)

      axnet_cs / pcnet_cs: moving PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID for Netgear FA411 · 208fbec5
      Cord Walter authored 
      Hi,

after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.

I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:

<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>

This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.

This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications  I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?

I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.
