xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.

2012-11-16T16:47:03Z

commit 95a7d76897c1e7243d4137037c66d15cbf2cce76 upstream. As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb) we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor do it correctly. This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating idle guest's from one host to another.

mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-11-16T16:46:58Z

commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream. A number of places in the mesh code don't check that the frame data is present and in the skb header when trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data that doesn't actually exist. To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be able to use it in mac80211.

rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation

2012-11-16T16:46:52Z

commit 115c9b81928360d769a76c632bae62d15206a94a upstream. Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future. Signed-off-by: Greg Rose Signed-off-by: David S.

ALSA: Add a reference counter to card instance

2012-11-16T16:46:50Z

commit a0830dbd4e42b38aefdf3fb61ba5019a1a99ea85 upstream. For more strict protection for wild disconnections, a refcount is introduced to the card instance, and let it up/down when an object is referred via snd_lookup_*() in the open ops. The free-after-last-close check is also changed to check this refcount instead of the empty list, too. Reported-by: Matthieu CASTET Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

nfsd: add get_uint for u32's

commit a007c4c3e943ecc054a806c259d95420a188754b upstream. I don't think there's a practical difference for the range of values these interfaces should see, but it would be safer to be unambiguous. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events

2012-10-30T23:27:08Z

commit 5b423f6a40a0327f9d40bc8b97ce9be266f74368 upstream. Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols

2012-10-30T23:26:34Z

[ Upstream commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ] 6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

mtd: nand: allow NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE to be set from driver

2012-10-30T23:26:28Z

commit bf7a01bf7987b63b121d572b240c132ec44129c4 upstream. The NAND_CHIPOPTIONS_MSK has limited utility and is causing real bugs. It silently masks off at least one flag that might be set by the driver (NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE). This breaks the GPMI NAND driver and possibly others. Really, as long as driver writers exercise a small amount of care with NAND_* options, this mask is not necessary at all; it was only here to prevent certain options from accidentally being set by the driver. But the original thought turns out to be a bad idea occasionally. Thus, kill it. Note, this patch fixes some major gpmi-nand breakage.
