Current code doesn't update the symlinks in /sys/dev/char when we add/remove
tty lines.  Fixing that allows to stop messing with ->valid before the driver
registration, which is a Good Thing(tm) - we shouldn't have it set before we
really have the things set up and ready for line_open().

We need tty_driver available to call tty_{un,}register_device(), so we just
stash a reference to it into struct line_driver.

d8c215adbf um: convert count_lock to mutex, fix a race in line_open()
If two processes are opening the same line, the second to get
into line_open() will decide that it doesn't need to do anything
(correctly) or wait for anything.  The latter, unfortunately,
is incorrect - the first opener might not be through yet.  We
need to have exclusion covering the entire line_init(), including
the blocking parts.  Moreover, the next patch will need to
widen the exclusion on mconsole side of things, also including
the blocking bits, so let's just convert that sucker to mutex...

We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled

returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a:
genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).

So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

93dc6107a7 Don't limit non-nested epoll paths
Commit 28d82dc1c4 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the
number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications
to longer work (dovecot for one).

The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting
(since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can
allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits
it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

This is captured in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681578

Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c'

acting as backup in a primary-backup setup.

After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion
operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes
this problem.

This turned out due to a defect in an error path which runs if the

This patch fixes it and eliminates the reported oops.

c017386352 afs: Remote abort can cause BUG in rxrpc code
When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG:

kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179!

With a backtrace of:

	afs_free_call
	afs_make_call
	afs_fs_store_data
	afs_vnode_store_data
	afs_write_back_from_locked_page
	afs_writepages_region
	afs_writepages

The cause is:

	ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue));

Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we
are exceeding our disk quota:

	rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32)

So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't
freed all the resources for the call.

By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call
we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

2c724fb927 afs: Read of file returns EBADMSG
A read of a large file on an afs mount failed:

# cat junk.file > /dev/null
cat: junk.file: Bad message

Looking at the trace, call->offset wrapped since it is only an
unsigned short. In afs_extract_data:

        _enter("{%u},{%zu},%d,,%zu", call->offset, len, last, count);
...

        if (call->offset < count) {
                if (last) {
                        _leave(" = -EBADMSG [%d < %zu]", call->offset, count);
                        return -EBADMSG;
                }

Which matches the trace:

[cat   ] ==> afs_extract_data({65132},{524},1,,65536)
[cat   ] <== afs_extract_data() = -EBADMSG [0 < 65536]

call->offset went from 65132 to 0. Fix this by making call->offset an
unsigned int.

leads a newer (v2.22 vs. v2.20) assembler to complain:

  /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Error: .size expression for sys_fadvise64_c6x does not evaluate to a constant

The conditional block became dead code when c6x switched to generic
unistd.h and should be removed along with the offending ENDPROC().

b8fbaef586 wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use
A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

Also increments tx_dropped counter

bb6d5e76fb net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use
A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

This is mostly a revert of commit bf769375c (staging: hv: fix the return
status of netvsc_start_xmit())

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

7bdd402706 net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs
network drivers should reserve some headroom on incoming skbs so that we
dont need expensive reallocations, eg forwarding packets in tunnels.

This NET_SKB_PAD padding is done in various helpers, like
__netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() in this patch, combining NET_SKB_PAD and
NET_IP_ALIGN magic.

c0ea452e42 bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware()
When cycling the interface down and up, bnx2x_init_firmware() knows that
the firmware is already loaded, but nevertheless it allocates certain
arrays anew (init_data, init_ops, init_ops_offsets, iro_arr). The old
arrays are leaked.

Fix the leaks by returning early if the firmware was already loaded.
Because if the firmware is loaded, so are the arrays.

127d0a198a bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file
If the requested firmware is deemed corrupt and then released, reset the
pointer to NULL in order to avoid double-freeing it in
bnx2x_release_firmware() or dereferencing it in bnx2x_init_firmware().

cc34eb672e sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows
This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of
flows)

As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects.

In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent
old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for
unlimited amount of time.

It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would
add complexity outside of SFQ scope.

A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I
tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy
so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.
