rt2x00: Implement HW encryption

Various rt2x00 devices support hardware encryption.

Most of them require the IV/EIV to be generated by mac80211,
but require it to be provided seperately instead of within
the frame itself. This means that rt2x00lib should extract
the data from the frame and place it in the frame descriptor.
During RX the IV/EIV is provided in the descriptor by the
hardware which means that it should be inserted into the
frame by rt2x00lib.

Nick Piggin [Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:09:18 +0000 (14:09 -0700)]
mm: dirty page tracking race fix

There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.

clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.

page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty.  It uses page_check_address to
find the pte.  That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present.  Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.

For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value.  There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.

The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy.  XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.

Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.

It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.

   =======================

where the deadlock is due to the nesting of lock_super from vfat_unlink
to fat_write_inode:

 - do_unlinkat
   - vfs_unlink
     - vfat_unlink
       * lock_super
       - fat_remove_entries
         - fat_sync_inode
           - fat_write_inode
             * lock_super

and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.

The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact).  The only
code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).

Bart reports:
 "Looks good.  I ran 10 parallel processes creating 1M files truncating
  them, writing to them again and then deleting them.  This patch fixes

powerpc/ibmebus: Restore "name" sysfs attribute on ibmebus devices

Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
devices previously had is no longer present.  This is a user-visible
regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid
adapters.

This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF
device code instead.  Tested on POWER.

ieee1394: sbp2: let nodemgr retry node updates during bus reset series

sbp2 was too quick to report .update() to the ieee1394 core as failed.
(Logged as "Failed to reconnect to sbp2 device!".)  The core would then
unbind sbp2 from the device.

This is not justified if the .update() failed because another bus reset
happened.  We check this and tell the ieee1394 that .update() succeeded,
and the core will call sbp2's .update() for the new bus reset as well.

This improves reconnection/re-login especially on buses with several
disks as they may issue bus resets in close succession when they come
online.

pkt_sched: Prevent livelock in TX queue running.

If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it
is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock
trying to process that queue.  This happens because
dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks
the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock
and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock.

This breaks the livelock by adding a check on
__QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when
the trylock fails.

Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski.
