uml_net_set_mac() was broken and luckily it was never used, before.
What it was trying to do is spin_lock before memcopy the mac address.
Linus attempted to fix it in assumption that someone decided the
lock was needed. But since it was never ever used at all, and was
just dead code, I think we can assume that it is not needed, after
all.
On the other hand patch [f25c80a4] was trying to use eth_mac_addr()
in eth_configure(), *which was the real fallout*. Because of state
checks done inside eth_mac_addr() the address was never set. I have
not reintroduced the memcpy wrapper, but I've put a comment for future
cats.
The code now is back to exactly as it was before [f25c80a4]. With
the cleanup applied. If the spin_lock is indeed needed then a contender
should supply a test case that fails, then fix it with the proper
locking, as a separate unrelated patch.

Therefore if IPV6 is enabled, we have to enforce that GRE's

Fixes kernel Bugzilla Bug 18952
This patch adds a syn_set parameter to the retransmits_timed_out()
routine and updates its callers. If not set, TCP_RTO_MIN is taken
as the calculation basis as before. If set, TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT is
used instead, so that sysctl_syn_retries represents the actual
amount of SYN retransmissions in case no SYNACKs are received when
establishing a new connection.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603
tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.
There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters
against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till
the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels
with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because:
a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK
b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted
Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work -
the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received.

Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path. Tested by myself with good results.

Compex FreedomLine 32 PnP-PCI2 cards have only TP and BNC connectors but the
SROM contains AUI port too. When TP loses link, the driver switches to
non-existing AUI port (which reports that carrier is always present).
Connecting TP back generates LinkPass interrupt but de_media_interrupt() is
broken - it only updates the link state of currently connected media, ignoring
the fact that LinkPass and LinkFail bits of MacStatus register belong to the
TP port only (the chip documentation says that).
This patch changes de_media_interrupt() to switch media to TP when link goes
up (and media type is not locked) and also to update the link state only when
the TP port is used.
Also the NonselPortActive (and also SelPortActive) bits of SIAStatus register
need to be cleared (by writing 1) after reading or they're useless.

read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) (without blocking BH)
<BH>
spin_lock(&sk->sk_slock.slock);

read_lock(callback_lock)
<BH> spin_lock_bh(slock)
<wait to spin_lock(slock)>
<wait to write_lock_bh(callback_lock)>

from automatically configuring the PHY after resets only when the driver
performs a reset, clear the bit after resets. This is so the hardware can
configure the PHY automatically when the part is reset in a manner that is
not controlled by the driver (e.g. in a virtual environment via PCI FLR)
otherwise the PHY will be mis-configured causing issues such as failing to
link at 1000Mbps.
For managed versions of 82579, keep the previous behavior since the

The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a
certain policy. This value is set to the template's family
(encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called.
The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state
in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios
because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector
is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs
misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa.
This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that
initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary
state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.
