2008-04-29proc: switch /proc/irda/irnet to seq_file interfaceAlexey Dobriyan
Probably interface misuse, because of the way iterating over hashbin is done. However! Printing of socket number ("IrNET socket %d - ", i++") made conversion to proper ->start/->next difficult enough to do blindly without hardware. Said that, please apply.

From: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> This fixes a regression added by ec3c0982a2dd1e671bad8e9d26c28dcba0039d87 ("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") tcp_v6_do_rcv()->tcp_rcv_established(), the latter goes to step5, where eventually skb can be freed via tcp_data_queue() (drop: label), then if check for tcp_defer_accept_check() returns true and thus tcp_rcv_established() returns -1, which forces tcp_v6_do_rcv() to jump to reset: label, which in turn will pass through discard: label and free the same skb again.

2008-04-27[IPSEC]: Use digest_null directly for authHerbert Xu
Previously digest_null had no setkey function which meant that we used hmac(digest_null) for IPsec since IPsec always calls setkey. Now that digest_null has a setkey we no longer need to do that. In fact when only confidentiality is specified for ESP we already use digest_null directly. However, when the null algorithm is explicitly specified by the user we still opt for hmac(digest_null). This patch removes this discrepancy. I have not added a new compat name for it because by chance it wasn't actualy possible for the user to specify the name hmac(digest_null) due to a key length check in xfrm_user (which I found out when testing that compat name :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-24tcp: tcp_probe buffer overflow and incorrect return valueTom Quetchenbach
tcp_probe has a bounds-checking bug that causes many programs (less, python) to crash reading /proc/net/tcp_probe. When it outputs a log line to the reader, it only checks if that line alone will fit in the reader's buffer, rather than that line and all the previous lines it has already written. tcpprobe_read also returns the wrong value if copy_to_user fails--it just passes on the return value of copy_to_user (number of bytes not copied), which makes a failure look like a success. This patch fixes the buffer overflow and sets the return value to -EFAULT if copy_to_user fails. Patch is against latest net-2.6; tested briefly and seems to fix the crashes in less and python.

2008-04-24ethtool: EEPROM dump no longer works for tg3 and natsemiMandeep Singh Baines
In the ethtool user-space application, tg3 and natsemi over-ride the default implementation of dump_eeprom(). In both tg3_dump_eeprom() and natsemi_dump_eeprom(), there is a magic number check which is not present in the default implementation. Commit b131dd5d ("[ETHTOOL]: Add support for large eeproms") snipped the code which copied the ethtool_eeprom structure back to user-space. tg3 and natsemi are over-writing the magic number field and then checking it in user-space. With the ethtool_eeprom copy removed, the check is failing. The fix is simple. Add the ethtool_eeprom copy back. Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-24SUNRPC: Invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS session if the server dropped the requestTrond Myklebust
RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major timeout.

There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems). Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE. While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie. If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request. So n-only association fails. And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie, which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

2008-04-23SUNRPC: allow svc_recv to break out of 500ms sleep when alloc_page failsJeff Layton
svc_recv() calls alloc_page(), and if it fails it does a 500ms uninterruptible sleep and then reattempts. There doesn't seem to be any real reason for this to be uninterruptible, so change it to an interruptible sleep. Also check for kthread_stop() and signalled() after setting the task state to avoid races that might lead to sleeping after kthread_stop() wakes up the task. I've done some very basic smoke testing with this, but obviously it's hard to test the actual changes since this all depends on an alloc_page() call failing.

2008-04-23SUNRPC: have svc_recv() check kthread_should_stop()Jeff Layton
When using kthreads that call into svc_recv, we want to make sure that they do not block there for a long time when we're trying to take down the kthread. This patch changes svc_recv() to check kthread_should_stop() at the same places that it checks to see if it's signalled(). Also check just before svc_recv() tries to schedule(). By making sure that we check it just after setting the task state we can avoid having to use any locking or signalling to ensure it doesn't block for a long time. There's still a chance of a 500ms sleep if alloc_page() fails, but that should be a rare occurrence and isn't a terribly long time in the context of a kthread being taken down.
