Calling cancel_delayed_work() from inside spin_lock_irqsave, introduces a potential deadlock. As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> A - lock T - timer phase CPU 1 CPU 2 --------------------------------------------- some place that calls cancel_timer_sync() (which is the | code) lock-irq(A) | "lock-irq"(T) | "unlock"(T) | wait(T) unlock(A) timer softirq "lock"(T) run(T) "unlock"(T) irq handler lock(A) unlock(A) Now all that again, interleaved, leading to deadlock: lock-irq(A) "lock"(T) run(T) IRQ during or maybe before run(T) --> lock(A) "lock-irq"(T) wait(T) We fix this by moving the call to cancel_delayed_work() into workqueue. There are cases where the work may not actually be queued or running at the time we are trying to cancel it, but cancel_delayed_work() is able to deal with this. Also cleanup iwl_set_mode related to this call. This function (iwl_set_mode) is only called when bringing interface up and there will thus not be any scanning done. No need to try to cancel scanning. Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13224, which was also reported at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124081921903223&w=2 . Tested-by:

Commit e8f055f0 ("ath5k: Update reset code") subtly changed the code that computes floating point values for the PHY3_TIMING register such that the exponent is off by a decimal point, which can cause problems with OFDM channel operation. get_bitmask_order() actually returns the highest bit set plus one, whereas the previous code wanted the highest bit set. Instead, use ilog2 which is what this code is really calculating. Also check coef_scaled to handle the (invalid) case where we need log2(0). Signed-off-by:

Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it just being the length of the extra buffer - size of the struct and using the explicit key length only for the get operation (which only writes it). Therefore, we have this layout: extra: +-------------------------+ | struct iw_encode_ext { | | ... | | u16 key_len; | | u8 key[0]; | | }; | +-------------------------+ | key material | +-------------------------+ Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer, depending on the driver it may be possible to specify arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length for the key algorithm specified. Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer). Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer along with struct iw_encode_ext. Signed-off-by:

One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond. Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator. Signed-off-by:

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all packets for the first 20 seconds. This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes: * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate user wants to always flood packets * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial timer tick The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if kernel STP is not being used.

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned off. This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on) from being able to detect loops in the network. With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP multicast group address is forwarded to all ports. Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization that only last octet needs to be checked. Signed-off-by:

If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and rejects the request. This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the struct ic_device rather than storing it globally. Signed-off-by:

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2 ) all WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20() because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the __builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that caused the warning. Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently, using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up. Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

A previous 2.6.30 patch, a71e4917 , (ACPI: idle: mark_tsc_unstable() at init-time, not run-time) erroneously disabled the TSC on systems that did not actually have valid deep C-states. Move the check after the deep-C-states are validated, via new helper, tsc_check_state(), hich replaces tsc_halts_in_c(). Signed-off-by:

In 2.6.29, 31878dd8 "ACPI: remove BM_RLD access from idle entry path" moved BM_RLD initialization to init-time from run time. But we discovered that some BIOS do not restore BM_RLD after suspend, causing device errors on C3 and C4 after resume. So now the kernel restores BM_RLD. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13032 Signed-off-by:

The BIOS bug workaround mistakenly got disabled when we followed the ACPI specification more closely by ignoring OS updates to that bit. (The BIOS is supposed to update SCI_EN, not the OS) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13289 Signed-off-by:
