[BRIDGE]: receive link-local on disabled ports.

This change allows link local packets (like 802.3ad and Spanning Tree
Protocol) to be processed even when the bridge is not using the port.
It fixes the chicken-egg problem for bridging a bonded device, and
may also fix problems with spanning tree failover.

[IPv6] reassembly: Always compute hash under the fragment lock.

This closes a race where an ipq6hashfn() caller could get a hash value
and race with the cycling of the random seed. By the time they got to
the read_lock they'd have a stale hash value and might not find
previous fragments of their datagram.

This matches the previous patch to IPv4.

[PATCH] x86_64: inline function prefix with __always_inline in vsyscall

In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as

not forced. Sometimes compiler does not compile the function as
inlined, so here inline is replaced by __always_inline prefix.

[PATCH] x86-64/i386: Don't process APICs/IO-APICs in ACPI when APIC is disabled.

When nolapic was passed or the local APIC was disabled
for another reason ACPI would still parse the IO-APICs
until these were explicitely disabled with noapic.

Usually this resulted in a non booting configuration unless
"nolapic noapic" was used.

I also disabled the local APIC parsing in this case, although
that's only cosmetic (suppresses a few printks)

This hopefully makes nolapic work in all cases.

mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA
registers. The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled
only in i386.

Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.

Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it

If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: nfsd_setuser doesn't really need to modify rqstp->rq_cred.

In addition to setting the processes filesystem id's, nfsd_setuser also
modifies the value of the rq_cred which stores the id's that originally came
from the rpc call, for example to reflect root squashing.

There's no real reason to do that--the only case where rqstp->rq_cred is
actually used later on is in the NFSv4 SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM
operations, and there the results are the opposite of what we want--those two
operations don't deal with the filesystem at all, they only record the
credentials used with the rpc call for later reference (so that we may require
the same credentials be used on later operations), and the credentials
shouldn't vary just because there was or wasn't a previous operation in the
compound that referred to some export

This fixes a bug which caused mounts from Solaris clients to fail.

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: oops exporting nonexistent directory

Export a directory that does not exist:
exportfs -orw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check client:/home/NFS4

Try to mount from client with nfs4. Mount hangs (I'm not sure why -
that's another issue).

While client is hung, back on server

mkdir /home/NFS4

The server panics in dput. I traced the problem back to svc_export_parse()
calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in
the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out:
succeeds).

After patching, an recreating the problem, the client mount still takes some
time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock".

Here is a simple patch to resolve this issue:

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix acl xattr length return

We should be using the length from the second vfs_getxattr, in case it
changed.  (Note: there's still a small race here; we could end up returning
-ENOMEM if the length increased between the first and second call.  I don't
know whether it's worth spending a lot of effort to fix that.)

This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't, since
XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when it's
passed a NULL buffer.  So there's probably an XFS bug here too, though since
getxattr with a NULL buffer is usually used to decide how much memory to
allocate, it may be a fairly harmless bug in most cases.

[PATCH] knfsd: locks: flag NFSv4-owned locks

Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to
look them up in our private hash. This is safer and more efficient.

Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out
that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and
suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using
fl_lmops in the same way.

In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server
isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end
up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks.

But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the
lock_manager_operations at some point anyway.

[PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.

NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.

This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.

This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going
in to mainline.

[PATCH] fuse: account background requests

The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests.  This
patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking
operations.

A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated.  So these requests
need not be otherwise limited.

However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous
reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely.  This can be used by a
malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable
kernel memory, denying service.

For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block
allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit.

Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is
received.

[PATCH] fuse: clean up request accounting

FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time.
However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used. File
locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may
block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool.

This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.

[PATCH] fuse: simplify locking

This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a
per-mount one.

The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and
fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to
file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn.

This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.

Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

[PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE device

This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.

One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods.  I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking.  It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep.  My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

[PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()

During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel.
The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been
inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero
pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one
page being in the request.

So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send
it.

[PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a module

An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when
trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module
compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct
thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to
include this too.

Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the
module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module
removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've
not investigated though.

As install_*_keyring() may schedule (in synchronize_rcu() or
keyring_alloc()), they may not be entered with interrupts disabled - and so
there's no point saving the interrupt disablement state over the critical
section.

need to save the interrupt state either.
