RTNETLINK: Fix bogus ASSERT_RTNL warning

2008-05-01T21:44:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit: c9c1014b2bd014c7ec037bbb6f58818162fdb265 ] ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs

2008-04-16T02:35:41+00:00

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

ssb: Fix usage of struct device used for DMAing

2008-04-15T19:04:35+00:00

This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64. We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always point to the right device for DMAing. Without this patch b43 and b44 drivers won't work on complex-DMA architectures, that for example need dev->archdata for DMA operations. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[IPV6]: IPv6 extension header structures need to be packed.

2008-04-14T06:33:52+00:00

struct ipv6_opt_hdr is the common structure for IPv6 extension headers, and it is common to increment the pointer to get the real content. On the other hand, since the structure consists only of 1-byte next-header field and 1-byte length field, size of that structure depends on architecture; 2 or 4. Add "packed" attribute to get 2.
