Matt Carlson c88864df27 [TG3]: Fix 5761 PXEboot crash
When 5761 devices boot the machine using PXEboot, PXE leaves the device
active when it terminates.  The tg3 driver has code to detect this
condition and resets the device during initialization.  On 5761 devices,
device resets involve sending a driver state update message to the APE
on the 5761.  However, during this initialization stage, communications
to the APE registers have not yet been set up.  The driver then
dereferences a NULL pointer and crashes the machine.  The fix is to move
the APE register access setup earlier in the initialization code to
cover this condition.

Trond Myklebust 91cf45f02a [NET]: Add the helper kernel_sock_shutdown()
...and fix a couple of bugs in the NBD, CIFS and OCFS2 socket handlers.

Looking at the sock->op->shutdown() handlers, it looks as if all of them
take a SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR argument instead of the
RCV_SHUTDOWN/SEND_SHUTDOWN arguments.
Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users
of shutdown() don't get confused.

Johannes Berg 62768e28d6 [SUNGEM]: Fix suspend regression due to NAPI changes.
Commit bea3348e (the NAPI changes) made sungem unconditionally enable
NAPI when resuming and unconditionally disable when suspending, this,
however, makes napi_disable() hang when suspending when the interface
was taken down before suspend because taking the interface down also
disables NAPI. This patch makes touching the napi struct in
suspend/resume code paths depend on having the interface up, thereby
fixing the hang on suspend.

The patch also moves the napi_disable() in gem_close() under the lock so
that the NAPI state is always modified atomically together with the
"opened" variable.

Roland McGrath 325d22df7b sigwait eats blocked default-ignore signals
While a signal is blocked, it must be posted even if its action is
SIG_IGN or is SIG_DFL with the default action to ignore.  This works
right most of the time, but is broken when a sigwait (rt_sigtimedwait)
is in progress.  This changes the early-discard check to respect
real_blocked.  ~blocked is the set to check for "should wake up now",
but ~(blocked|real_blocked) is the set for "blocked" semantics as
defined by POSIX.

This fixes bugzilla entry 9347, see

J. Bruce Fields 6fa02839bf nfsd4: recheck for secure ports in fh_verify
As with commit 7fc90ec93a ("knfsd: nfsd:
call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem")
this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.

Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam
the logs.

J. Bruce Fields ac8587dcb5 knfsd: fix spurious EINVAL errors on first access of new filesystem
The v2/v3 acl code in nfsd is translating any return from fh_verify() to
nfserr_inval.  This is particularly unfortunate in the case of an
nfserr_dropit return, which is an internal error meant to indicate to
callers that this request has been deferred and should just be dropped
pending the results of an upcall to mountd.

Roland McGrath 00ec99da43 core dump: remain dumpable
The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped).  The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
protect.  This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
kernels, also maps.  In practice, you can only notice this when a
debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.

set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
intended for any security purpose.  (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)

This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
synchronization, which is sufficient.  Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

Jesper Juhl 9abed245a6 Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation()
In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak
the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function
without using or freeing it. This happens in case
"sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to
the 'discard' label.
Spotted by the Coverity checker.

The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk"
to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't
even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.

Rusty Russell 42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).

So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx.
Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an

Johannes Berg f51359a8fb iwlwifi: select proper rate control algorithm
Prior to this patch, iwlwifi would always use the first
registered rate control algorithm which, depending on system
setup, could be anything. After the mac80211 patch to make
the simple algorithm built-in, it would always be simple.

This has always been a bug in iwlwifi.

This fixes it by requesting that mac80211 selects the right
rate control algorithm.

Johannes Berg 830f903866 mac80211: allow driver to ask for a rate control algorithm
This allows a driver to ask for a specific rate control algorithm.
The rate control algorithm asked for must be registered and be
available as a module or built-in.

Johannes Berg 999acd9c33 mac80211: don't allow registering the same rate control twice
Previously, mac80211 would allow registering the same rate control
algorithm twice. This is a programming error in the registration
and should not happen; additionally the second version could never
be selected. Disallow this and warn about it.

Michael Buesch 2bf236d55e rfkill: Use subsys_initcall
We must use subsys_initcall, because we must initialize before a
driver calls rfkill_register().

Johannes Berg ac71c691e6 mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-in
Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled
or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence
their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm
being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into
the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case
it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another
rate control algorithm.)

Michael Buesch 8a8f1c0437 rfkill: Register LED triggers before registering switch
Registering the switch triggers a LED event, so we must register
LED triggers before the switch.
This has a potential to fix a crash, depending on how the device
driver initializes the rfkill data structure.

Johannes Berg 94e10bfb8a softmac: fix wext MLME request reason code endianness
The MLME request reason code is host-endian and our passing
it to the low level functions is host-endian as well since
they do the swapping. I noticed that the reason code 768 was
sent (0x300) rather than 3 when wpa_supplicant terminates.
This removes the superfluous cpu_to_le16() call.
