The commit d75b1ade56 (net: less
interrupt masking in NAPI) breaks caif.
It is now required that if the entire budget is consumed when poll
returns, the napi poll_list must remain empty. However, like some
other drivers caif tries to do a last-ditch check and if there is
more work it will call napi_schedule and then immediately process
some of this new work. Should the entire budget be consumed while
processing such new work then we will violate the new caller
contract.
This patch fixes this by not touching any work when we reschedule
in caif.

While the Mentor/Alcatel PE-MCXMAC IP core is also used in other
designs (Freescale Gianfar/UCC, QLogic NetXen, Solarflare, Agere

During driver load in tg3_init_one, if the driver detects DMA activity before
intializing the chip tg3_halt is called. As part of tg3_halt interrupts are
disabled using routine tg3_disable_ints. This routine was using mailbox value
which was not initialized (default value is 0). As a result driver was writing
0x00000001 to pci config space register 0, which is the vendor id / device id.
This driver bug was exposed because of the commit a7877b17a667 (PCI: Check only
the Vendor ID to identify Configuration Request Retry). Also this issue is only
seen in older generation chipsets like 5722 because config space write to offset
0 from driver is possible. The newer generation chips ignore writes to offset 0.
Also without commit a7877b17a667, for these older chips when a GRC reset is
issued the Bootcode would reprogram the vendor id/device id, which is the reason
this bug was masked earlier.
Fixed by initializing the interrupt mailbox registers before calling tg3_halt.

The worst part of this bug is that the list corruption causes other
napi users to be moved off-list. In my case I was chasing a stall
in IPsec (IPsec uses netif_rx) and I only belatedly realised that it
was virtio_net which caused the stall even though the virtio_net

Both stmmac_open() and stmmac_resume() call stmmac_hw_setup(), and

Make TPACKET_V3 signal poll when block is closed rather than for every
packet. Side effect is that poll will be signaled when block retire
timer expires which didn't previously happen. Issue was visible when
sending packets at a very low frequency such that all blocks are retired
before packets are received by TPACKET_V3. This caused avoidable packet
loss. The fix ensures that the signal is sent when blocks are closed
which covers the normal path where the block is filled as well as the
path where the timer expires. The case where a block is filled without
moving to the next block (ie. all blocks are full) will still cause poll
to be signaled.

In spite of different file type,
if file is same name and same inode number, old inode cache is used.
This causes that you can not cd directory, can not cat SymbolicLink.
So this patch is that if file type is different, return error.
Reproducible sample :
1. create file 'a' at cifs client.
2. repeat rm and mkdir 'a' 4 times at server, then direcotry 'a' having same inode number is created.
(Repeat 4 times, then same inode number is recycled.)
(When server is under RHEL 6.6, 1 time is O.K. Always same inode number is recycled.)
3. ls -li at client, then you can not cd directory, can not remove directory.
SymbolicLink has same problem.

There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records
are created for the same path, each with a different path name type.
The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact
match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a
path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record,
but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL.
This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these
newly created records.
There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the
easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running):
# mkdir /root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567
# auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567
Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit
log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel
will display something like the following for the file creation:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2
success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"
type=CWD msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): cwd="/root/tmp"
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=0 name="test/"
inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=1 name=(null)
inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null)
inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL
While a patched kernel will show the following:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): arch=c000003e syscall=2
success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"

If a request is backlogged, it's complete() handler will get called
twice: once with -EINPROGRESS, and once with the final error code.
af_alg's complete handler, unlike other users, does not handle the
-EINPROGRESS but instead always completes the completion that recvmsg()
is waiting on. This can lead to a return to user space while the
request is still pending in the driver. If userspace closes the sockets
before the requests are handled by the driver, this will lead to
use-after-frees (and potential crashes) in the kernel due to the tfm
having been freed.
The crashes can be easily reproduced (for example) by reducing the max
queue length in cryptod.c and running the following (from
http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi.html) on AES-NI capable hardware:
$ while true; do kcapi -x 1 -e -c '__ecb-aes-aesni' \

When amdkfd and radeon are compiled inside the kernel image (not as modules),
radeon will load before amdkfd, which will cause a bug when radeon will probe
the GPUs.
When the two drivers are compiled as modules, amdkfd is loaded after radeon is
loaded but before radeon starts probing the GPUs. This is done because radeon
loads the amdkfd module through symbol_request function.
This patch makes amdkfd load before radeon when they are both compiled inside
the kernel image, which makes the behavior similar to the case when they are
modules, and prevents the kernel bug.
