I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
cleanup. In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.
Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes
that the loopback device is the first device registered and
the last network device to go away.
But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after
we clear dev_boot_phase.

The atmel_serial driver is mismanaging its clock by leaving it on at all
times ... the whole point of clock management is to leave it off unless
it's actively needed, which conserves power!!
Although the kernel doesn't actually hang without my fix, it does
discard quite a lot of early console output.
The result still looks correct:
usart users= 1 on 35000000 Hz, for atmel_usart.0
usart users= 0 off 35000000 Hz, for atmel_usart.2
when using ttyS0 as serial console.

commit 3e680aae4e53ab54cdbb0c29257dae0cbb158e1c ("fb: convert
lock/unlock_kernel() into local fb mutex") introduced several deadlocks
in the fb_compat_ioctl() path, as mutex_lock() doesn't allow recursion,
unlike lock_kernel(). This broke frame buffer applications on 64-bit
systems with a 32-bit userland.
commit 120a37470c2831fea49fdebaceb5a7039f700ce6 ("framebuffer compat_ioctl
deadlock") fixed one of the deadlocks.
This patch fixes the remaining deadlocks:
- Revert commit 120a37470c2831fea49fdebaceb5a7039f700ce6,
- Extract the core logic of fb_ioctl() into a new function do_fb_ioctl(),
- Change all callsites of fb_ioctl() where info->lock is already held to
call do_fb_ioctl() instead,
- Add sparse annotations to all routines that take info->lock.

require being backported into 2.6.26.x or earlier kernels.

Problem 1 (see patch below):
vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct
vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h .
In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized
leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than
160 columns text.
Problem 2 (open):
Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to
invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator
calculations:
if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31)))
break;

ath5k_rx_status fields rs_antenna and rs_more are u8s, but we
were setting them with bitwise ANDs of 32-bit values.
As a consequence, jumbo frames would not be discarded as intended.
Then, because the hw rate value of such frames is zero, and, since
"ath5k: rates cleanup", we do not fall back to the basic rate, such
packets would trigger the following WARN_ON:

We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software
raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices.
The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which
tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to
the small size of the component devices of the array.
Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which
implies that also "base" is non-zero.
This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.

It turns out that it is only safe to call blkdev_ioctl when the device
is actually open (as ->bd_disk is set to NULL on last close). And it
is quite possible for do_md_stop to be called when the device is not
open. So discard the call to blkdev_ioctl(BLKRRPART) which was
added in
commit 934d9c23b4c7e31840a895ba4b7e88d6413c81f3

This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
for 802.3ad. The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
down).
This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively. These two policies
also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
link state change).
This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
entirely fail).
This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.

The current ALB function that processes incoming ARPs
does not handle traffic for VLANs configured above bonding. This causes
traffic on those VLANs to all be assigned the same slave. This patch
corrects that misbehavior by locating the bonding interface nested below
the VLAN interface.
Bug reported by Sven Anders <anders@anduras.de>, who also
tested an earlier version of this patch and confirmed that it resolved
the problem.

This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.
- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
are supported.
- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
Default is 1.
- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:
ndisc_build_skb()
ndisc_send_skb()
These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically
__ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.
- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
support to 3.4.0.
On failover, this new code will generate one packet:
- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
learn that the address has moved to the new slave.
Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
cleanup. In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.
Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes
that the loopback device is the first device registered and
the last network device to go away.
