------------------

From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

When using ASSOCINFO socket option, we need to limit the number of
maximum association retransmissions to be no greater than the sum
of all the path retransmissions. This is specified in Section 7.1.2
of the SCTP socket API draft.
However, we only do this if the association has multiple paths. If
there is only one path, the protocol stack will use the
assoc_max_retrans setting when trying to retransmit packets.

Right now, every time we increase our rwnd by more then MTU bytes, we
trigger a SACK.  When processing large messages, this will generate a
SACK for almost every other SCTP fragment. However since we are freeing
the entire message at the same time, we might as well collapse the SACK
generation to 1.

[PATCH 09/25] SCTP: Fix persistent slowdown in sctp when a gap ack consumes rx buffer.

[Chris Wright]

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2522 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>

In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of
chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk
(or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap,
we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does
nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This
does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the
sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a
perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only
chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates
that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant
need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up
with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive
buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that
the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

[PATCH 18/25] ohci1394: Fix broken suspend/resume in ohci1394

[-- Attachment #1: ohci1394-fix-broken-suspend-resume-in-ohci1394.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2284 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca>

I've been experimenting to track down the cause of suspend/resume
problems on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075

Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would
get into a bizarre, confused state after resume.

I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading
it after resume made the problem go away. Diffing the dmesg output from
resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module
loaded I was missing these:

PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 1. (Was
2100080, writing 2100007)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 3. (Was
0, writing 8008)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 4. (Was
0, writing 90200000)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 5. (Was
1, writing 2401)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset f. (Was
20000100, writing 2000010a)

The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is
loaded for the device. When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is
supposed to do this, however it appears not to do so.

I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the
suspend problems I was having with the module loaded. I only added in
the pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little
of this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than
this when suspending and resuming? Currently it does almost nothing,
what if there are commands in progress, etc?

This patch is OK. (Although unlike one might expect from reading the 
patch title, there is still a lot to do for full suspend/resume 
functionality in ohci1394.) Just FYI, here is my reply to Robert's 
initial patch submission:

| Thanks, this is at least a start. Apart from the code for PPC Macintoshs,
| ohci1394 does indeed lack any suspend/resume handling. I don't know
| anything about this matter, however the OHCI spec (gratis available,
| linked from www.linux1394.org) table A-11 on page 168 says which losses
| of configuration result from what power state transitions: Interrupts are
| masked when going into D1. IEEE 1394 configuration is lost when going
| into D2. PCI configuration is lost when going into D3. Since we don't
| handle this yet, a suspend/resume cycle results at least in loss of
| FireWire connectivity.
|
| As you may have guessed, this problem is basically as old as the driver.
| Nobody is actively working on it AFAIK. ["it" = the resume problem]
| (Except that I dusted off an old notebook and put a fresh Linux distro on
| it --- with the plan [to] check power management and hot ejection
| handling by ohci1394... later this year...)

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1440 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Nix <nix@esperi.org.uk>

When I built 2.6.17 for the first time I was a little surprised to see
my kernel putting on >500Kb in weight.

It didn't take long to work out that this was because my initramfs's
contents were being included twice in the cpio image.

A make V=1 makes the problem obvious:

/bin/sh /usr/packages/linux/versions/i686-loki/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh -l  "usr/initramfs" > usr/.initramfs_data.cpio.gz.d
  /bin/sh /usr/packages/linux/versions/i686-loki/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh -o usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz  -u 0  -g 0  "usr/initramfs"  "usr/initramfs"

Note that doubling-up of the "usr/initramfs", which leads to

The cause is an obvious pasto, fixed thusly:

No point in digressing from mainline for no good reason ;-)  Either way,
the problem is indeed fixed.

From: Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org>

I ran into a bug where the kernel died in the idr code:

SP (f8b4e7a0) is in userspace

Turned out to be a race-condition and NULL ptr deref, here's my fix:

Users of the idr code are supposed to call idr_pre_get without locking, so the
idr code must serialize itself with respect to layer allocations.  However, it
fails to do so in an error path in idr_get_new_above_int().  I added the
missing locking to fix this.

[PATCH 25/25] generic_file_buffered_write(): deadlock on vectored write

[Chris Wright]

[-- Attachment #1: generic_file_buffered_write-deadlock-on-vectored-write.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2328 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Vladimir V. Saveliev <vs@namesys.com>

generic_file_buffered_write() prefaults in user pages in order to avoid
deadlock on copying from the same page as write goes to.

However, it looks like there is a problem when write is vectored:
fault_in_pages_readable brings in current segment or its part (maxlen). 
OTOH, filemap_copy_from_user_iovec is called to copy number of bytes
(bytes) which may exceed current segment, so filemap_copy_from_user_iovec
switches to the next segment which is not brought in yet.  Pagefault is
generated.  That causes the deadlock if pagefault is for the same page
write goes to: page being written is locked and not uptodate, pagefault
will deadlock trying to lock locked page.

This is dropped for now, as it causes another problem with 0 length
iovecs.  Andrew has written a fix and once it's baked in Linus' tree for
a bit we can take back this one plus the fix.
