rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric

2010-05-16T08:05:45Z

Now we have a set of nested attributes: IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED) IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED) IFLA_VF_MAC IFLA_VF_VLAN IFLA_VF_TX_RATE This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired. Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state. The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like something to consider for 2.6.34.

sctp: delete active ICMP proto unreachable timer when free transport

2010-05-16T07:46:22Z

transport may be free before ICMP proto unreachable timer expire, so we should delete active ICMP proto unreachable timer when transport is going away. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: fix MD5 (RFC2385) support

2010-05-16T07:34:04Z

TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another thread on same cpu. We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same context. Various bug reports demonstrated corruptions. Fix is to disable preemption and BH.

MIPS: N32: Use compat version for sys_ppoll.

2010-05-15T20:59:53Z

The sys_ppoll() takes struct 'struct timespec'. This is different for the N32 and N64 ABIs. Use the compat version to do the proper conversions. Signed-off-by: David Daney To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1210/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle ---

MIPS FPU emulator: allow Cause bits of FCSR to be writeable by ctc1

2010-05-15T20:59:53Z

In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases, this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware that the code is emulating. This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words: I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic (which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't necessarily writable.
