network bug in 3.6.11.7

network bug in 3.6.11.7

[Joe Korty]

Hi Steve,
I get the following warnings when compiling 3.6.11.7-rt39:

  net/core/sock.c:212: warning: excess elements in array initializer
  net/core/sock.c:212: warning: (near initialization for 'af_family_key_strings')
  net/core/sock.c:228: warning: excess elements in array initializer
  net/core/sock.c:228: warning: (near initialization for 'af_family_slock_key_strings')
  net/core/sock.c:244: warning: excess elements in array initializer
  net/core/sock.c:244: warning: (near initialization for 'af_family_clock_key_strings')

I traced it down to the patch
  "net/core/sock.c: add missing VSOCK string in af_family_*_key_strings"

This is really a fixup to a much larger patch (6,000 lines) in mainline
called "VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets", which was not backport to 3.6.11.7.

It might be best for 3.6.11.7 to to drop the VSOCK fixup patch.

Regards,
Joe

Thanks for reporting! I'll drop that patch.

irq remapping bug in 3.6.11.7

[Joe Korty]

Hi Steve,
I get these warnings from 3.6.11.7:

  In file included from arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c:21:
  arch/x86/include/asm/irq_remapping.h:50: warning: 'struct msi_msg' declared inside parameter list
  arch/x86/include/asm/irq_remapping.h:50: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want

The bug is due to the following mainline patch being missing from
3.6.7.11, which 3.6.11.7 requires for proper operation:

  commit 35d3d814cbd46a85bed97cd74ba97fbbb51e0ccd
  "iommu: Fix compile warnings with forward declarations"

Regards,
Joe
