af_unix: limit unix_tot_inflight
Vegard Nossum found a unix socket OOM was possible, posting an exploit
program.
My analysis is we can eat all LOWMEM memory before unix_gc() being
called from unix_release_sock(). Moreover, the thread blocked in
unix_gc() can consume huge amount of time to perform cleanup because of
huge working set.
One way to handle this is to have a sensible limit on unix_tot_inflight,
tested from wait_for_unix_gc() and to force a call to unix_gc() if this
limit is hit.
This solves the OOM and also reduce overall latencies, and should not
slowdown normal workloads.

of/phylib: Use device tree properties to initialize Marvell PHYs.
Some aspects of PHY initialization are board dependent, things like
indicator LED connections and some clocking modes cannot be determined
by probing. The dev_flags element of struct phy_device can be used to
control these things if an appropriate value can be passed from the
Ethernet driver. We run into problems however if the PHY connections
are specified by the device tree. There is no way for the Ethernet
driver to know what flags it should pass.
If we are using the device tree, the struct phy_device will be
populated with the device tree node corresponding to the PHY, and we
can extract extra configuration information from there.
The next question is what should the format of that information be?
It is highly device specific, and the device tree representation
should not be tied to any arbitrary kernel defined constants. A
straight forward representation is just to specify the exact bits that
should be set using the "marvell,reg-init" property:
phy5: ethernet-phy@5 {
reg = <5>;
compatible = "marvell,88e1149r";
marvell,reg-init =
/* led[0]:1000, led[1]:100, led[2]:10, led[3]:tx */
<3 0x10 0 0x5777>, /* Reg 3,16 <- 0x5777 */
/* mix %:0, led[0123]:drive low off hiZ */
<3 0x11 0 0x00aa>, /* Reg 3,17 <- 0x00aa */
/* default blink periods. */
<3 0x12 0 0x4105>, /* Reg 3,18 <- 0x4105 */
/* led[4]:rx, led[5]:dplx, led[45]:drive low off hiZ */
<3 0x13 0 0x0a60>; /* Reg 3,19 <- 0x0a60 */
};
phy6: ethernet-phy@6 {
reg = <6>;
compatible = "marvell,
88e1118";
marvell,reg-init =
/* Fix rx and tx clock transition timing */
<2 0x15 0xffcf 0>, /* Reg 2,21 Clear bits 4, 5 */
/* Adjust LED drive. */
<3 0x11 0 0x442a>, /* Reg 3,17 <- 0442a */
/* irq, blink-activity, blink-link */
<3 0x10 0 0x0242>; /* Reg 3,16 <- 0x0242 */
};
The Marvell PHYs have a page select register at register 22 (0x16), we
can specify any register by its page and register number. These are
the first and second word. The third word contains a mask to be ANDed
with the existing register value, and the fourth word is ORed with the
result to yield the new register value. The new marvell_of_reg_init
function leaves the page select register unchanged, so a call to it
can be dropped into the .config_init functions without unduly
affecting the state of the PHY.
If CONFIG_OF_MDIO is not set, there is no of_node, or no
"marvell,reg-init" property, the PHY initialization is unchanged.

In rds_cmsg_rdma_args(), the user-provided args->nr_local value is

cfg80211: fix extension channel checks to initiate communication
When operating in a mode that initiates communication and using
HT40 we should fail if we cannot use both primary and secondary
channels to initiate communication. Our current ht40 allowmap
only covers STA mode of operation, for beaconing modes we need
a check on the fly as the mode of operation is dynamic and
there other flags other than disable which we should read
to check if we can initiate communication.
Do not allow for initiating communication if our secondary HT40
channel has is either disabled, has a passive scan flag, a
no-ibss flag or is a radar channel. Userspace now has similar
checks but this is also needed in-kernel.

ipv6: addrconf: don't remove address state on ifdown if the address is being kept
Currently, addrconf_ifdown does not delete statically configured IPv6
addresses when the interface is brought down. The intent is that when
the interface comes back up the address will be usable again. However,
this doesn't actually work, because the system stops listening on the
corresponding solicited-node multicast address, so the address cannot
respond to neighbor solicitations and thus receive traffic. Also, the
code notifies the rest of the system that the address is being deleted
(e.g, RTM_DELADDR), even though it is not. Fix it so that none of this
state is updated if the address is being kept on the interface.
Tested: Added a statically configured IPv6 address to an interface,
started ping, brought link down, brought link up again. When link came
up ping kept on going and "ip -6 maddr" showed that the host was still
subscribed to there

tcp: Don't change unlocked socket state in tcp_v4_err().
Alexey Kuznetsov noticed a regression introduced by
commit
f1ecd5d9e7366609d640ff4040304ea197fbc618
("Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable")
The RTO and timer modification code added to tcp_v4_err()
doesn't check sock_owned_by_user(), which if true means we
don't have exclusive access to the socket and therefore cannot
modify it's critical state.
Just skip this new code block if sock_owned_by_user() is true
and eliminate the now superfluous sock_owned_by_user() code
block contained within.

Now with improved comma support.
On parsing malformed X.25 facilities, decrementing the remaining length

backlight: add low threshold to pwm backlight
The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero. Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value. And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.
If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness. A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.
intensity
| /
| /
| /
|/
---------
0 max_brightness
But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%). so the graph looks like
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| |
------------
0 x max_brightness
In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph). Now the graph becomes
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| /
-------------
0 max_brightness
With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight. Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.
