gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.
This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.
Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel. ;-)

SELinux: don't BUG if fs reuses a superblock
|
|
I (wrongly) assumed that nfs_xdev_get_sb() would not ever share a superblock
and so cloning mount options would always be correct. Turns out that isn't
the case and we could fall over a BUG_ON() that wasn't a BUG at all. Since
there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch
just leaves the sb alone and the first set of options wins.

Without this patch, the generic L3 tracker would kick in
if nf_conntrack_ipv4 was not loaded before nf_nat, which
would lead to translation problems with ICMP errors.
NAT does not make sense without IPv4 connection tracking
anyway, so just add a call to need_ipv4_conntrack().

Commit df9dcb45 ([IPSEC]: Fix inter address family IPsec tunnel handling)
broke openswan by removing the selector initialization for tunnel mode
in case it is uninitialized.
This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably
breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author
disappeared). The correct thing for inter-family tunnels is probably
to simply initialize the selector family explicitly.

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked
area, and later, while holding a lock.
snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it..
which sleeps, so the second call is invalid.
This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While
this is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to
do here, we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just
before, so it is very unlikely to take a long time here.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY
is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")
This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was
not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we
have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging
processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if
a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id
issues INQUIRY).
The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request
are correct: the full request length and not just transferred length.
The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting
rq->data_len with old, unchanged code outside of this patch.

If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.
So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.
As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
carefully. This here is thus the less risky fix for
2.6.25

MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.
It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

This fixes Bugzilla #10384
tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.
More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.
So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.
It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.
Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.
Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.
In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

that creates an illusion of the PCI I/O and memory resources being mapped below
4 GB, while arch/powerpc/ code got rid of this fixup with PPC 44x having instead
CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y -- this causes the resources to be truncated to 32-bit
'unsigned long' type in this driver, and so non-existant memory being ioremap'ed
