2007-12-14[IPV4]: Updates to nfsroot documentationAmos Waterland
The difference between ip=off and ip=::::::off has been a cause of much confusion. Document how each behaves, and do not contradict ourselves by saying that "off" is the default when in fact "any" is the default and is descibed as being so lower in the file.

2007-12-14[TIPC]: Fix semaphore handling.Andrew Morton

2007-12-14[XFRM]: Display the audited SPI value in host byte order.Paul Moore
Currently the IPsec protocol SPI values are written to the audit log in network byte order which is different from almost all other values which are recorded in host byte order.

2007-12-14[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: fix compat copy racePatrick McHardy
When copying entries to user, the kernel makes two passes through the data, first copying all the entries, then fixing up names and counters. On the second pass it copies the kernel and match data from userspace to the kernel again to find the corresponding structures, expecting that kernel pointers contained in the data are still valid. This is obviously broken, fix by avoiding the second pass completely and fixing names and counters while dumping the ruleset, using the kernel-internal data structures.

2007-12-11[VLAN]: Fix potential race in vlan_cleanup_module vs vlan_ioctl_handler.Pavel Emelyanov
The vlan module cleanup function starts with vlan_netlink_fini(); vlan_ioctl_set(NULL); The first call removes all the vlan devices and the second one closes the vlan ioctl. AFAIS there's a tiny race window between these two calls - after rtnl unregistered all the vlans, but the ioctl handler isn't set to NULL yet, user can manage to call this ioctl and create one vlan device, and that this function will later BUG_ON seeing non-emply hashes. I think, that we must first close the vlan ioctl and only after this remove all the vlans with the vlan_netlink_fini() call.

2007-12-05[TCP] FRTO: Use of existing funcs make code more obvious & robustIlpo Järvinen
Though there's little need for everything that tcp_may_send_now does (actually, even the state had to be adjusted to pass some checks FRTO does not want to occur), it's more robust to let it make the decision if sending is allowed. State adjustments needed: - Make sure snd_cwnd limit is not hit in there - Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2 The result of check for frto_counter in argument to call for tcp_enter_frto_loss can just be open coded, therefore there isn't need to store the previous frto_counter past tcp_may_send_now.

The register_ip_vs_scheduler() checks for the scheduler with the same name under the read-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock, then drops, takes it for writing and puts the scheduler in list. This is racy, since we can have a race window between the lock being re-locked for writing. The fix is to search the scheduler with the given name right under the write-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock.

In case we load lblc or lblcr module we can leak some sysctl tables if the call to register_ip_vs_scheduler() fails.

2007-11-29mac80211: free ifsta->extra_ie and clear IEEE80211_STA_PRIVACY_INVOKEDZhu Yi
I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP, wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that. Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

2007-11-30[IPSEC]: Fix uninitialised dst warning in __xfrm_lookupHerbert Xu
Andrew Morton reported that __xfrm_lookup generates this warning: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c: In function '__xfrm_lookup': net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:1449: warning: 'dst' may be used uninitialized in this function This is because if policy->action is of an unexpected value then dst will not be initialised. Of course, in practice this should never happen since the input layer xfrm_user/af_key will filter out all illegal values. But the compiler doesn't know that of course. So this patch fixes this by taking the conservative approach and treat all unknown actions the same as a blocking action. Thanks to Andrew for finding this and providing an initial fix.
