Shannon Nelson c7e4358ae8 ixgbe: Move ring features into an enum, allowing easier future maintenance
From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com>

The ring_feature member of ixgbe_adapter is statically allocated based on
the supported features of the device.  When a new feature is added, we need
to manually update the static allocation.  This patch makes the feature
list an enum, eliminating the need for multiple updates to the code when
adding a new feature.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer d18921a0e3 Doc: Refer to ip-sysctl.txt for strict vs. loose rp_filter mode
The IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER Kconfig describes the rp_filter
proc option.  Recent changes added a loose mode.
Instead of documenting this change too places, refer to
the document describing it:
 Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt

I'm considering moving the rp_filter description away
from the Kconfig file into ip-sysctl.txt.

Dhananjay Phadke 028e1415a7 netxen: handle pci bar 0 mapping failure
PCI bar 0 is used for memory mapped register access.
If ioremap fails (returns NULL), register access results
in crash.

Use pci_ioremap_bar() instead of ioremap(), the latter

Dhananjay Phadke 044fad0dbb netxen: fix physical port mapping
The PCI function to physical port mapping is valid only for

So driver should never try to access phy using invalid
mapping. The behavior is unpredictable when PCI functions
4-7 are enabled on the same NIC.

Krzysztof Sachanowicz cac711211a proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized
de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is
called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause
something like
remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496
to be printed to the syslog.

The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in
proc_get_inode.

Eric W. Biederman ce16c5337a netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

Eric W. Biederman 959d272649 netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup.  There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

Eric Anholt efbeed96f7 drm/i915: Don't let a device flush to prepare buffers clear new write_domains.
The problem was that object_set_to_gpu_domain would set the new write_domains
that are getting set by this batchbuffer, then the accumulated flushes required
for all the objects in preparation for this batchbuffer were posted, and the
brand new write domain would get cleared by the flush being posted.  Instead,
hang on to the new (or old if we're not changing it) value and set it after
the flush is queued.

Results from this noticably included conformance test failures from reads
shortly after writes (where the new write domain had been lost and thus not
flushed and waited on), but is a suspected cause of hangs in some apps when
a write domain is lost on a buffer that gets reused for instruction or
commmand state.

Paul Moore 09c50b4a52 selinux: Fix the NetLabel glue code for setsockopt()
At some point we (okay, I) managed to break the ability for users to use the
setsockopt() syscall to set IPv4 options when NetLabel was not active on the
socket in question.  The problem was noticed by someone trying to use the
"-R" (record route) option of ping:

 # ping -R 10.0.0.1
 ping: record route: No message of desired type

The solution is relatively simple, we catch the unlabeled socket case and
clear the error code, allowing the operation to succeed.  Please note that we
still deny users the ability to override IPv4 options on socket's which have
NetLabel labeling active; this is done to ensure the labeling remains intact.

so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in

about 2min:01sec.)

Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want
to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will
depend on this flag to know.

The modern x86 timer infrastructure uses the local APIC timers and never
shows up as a device interrupt at all, so it isn't affected and doesn't
need any of this.

Daniel Lezcano 486a87f1e5 netns: fix double free at netns creation
This patch fix a double free when a network namespace fails.
The previous code does a kfree of the net_generic structure when
one of the init subsystem initialization fails.
The 'setup_net' function does kfree(ng) and returns an error.
The caller, 'copy_net_ns', call net_free on error, and this one
calls kfree(net->gen), making this pointer freed twice.

This patch make the code symetric, the net_alloc does the net_generic
allocation and the net_free frees the net_generic.

Herbert Xu 7691367d71 tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.

This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.

Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.

Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted.  This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.

The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications.  However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks.  More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and
Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.
