<title>mlx4_core: Fix possible chunk sg list overflow in mlx4_alloc_icm()</title>

<id>12a5a0e39bc503ccbbf68e697d06397cba2afc79</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c0dc72bad9cf21071f5e4005de46f7c8b67a138a upstream.

If the number of sg entries in the ICM chunk reaches MLX4_ICM_CHUNK_LEN,
we must set chunk to NULL even for coherent mappings so that the next
time through the loop will allocate another chunk.  Otherwise we'll
overflow the sg list the next time through the loop.  This will lead to
memory corruption if this case is hit.

mthca does not have this bug.

  Subject: [PATCH] appletalk: Fix skb leak when ipddp interface is not loaded
  ...

Fixed up trivial conflicts:

 - arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h

   converted to &lt;asm-generic/socket.h&gt; in the x86 tree.  The generic
   header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine.

 - drivers/net/tun.c

   fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that
   switched over to using 'tun-&gt;socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
   available (and thus removed) 'tun-&gt;sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
   to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun-&gt;sk' use.

   Noted in 'next' by Stephen Rothwell.

When the mlx4 driver uses the same name for interrupts for every
device in the system.  This can make it very confusing trying to work
out exactly which device MSI-X interrupts are for.  Change the driver
to add the PCI name of the device to the interrupt name.

On the error path of mlx4_init_hca(), mlx4_close_hca() is called,
followed by mlx4_free_icms() and mlx4_UNMAP_FA().  But both those
functions are also called from mlx4_close_hca(), which leads to a
double free.

<title>mlx4_core: Allocate and map sufficient ICM memory for EQ context</title>

<id>fa0681d2129732027355d6b7083dd8932b9b799d</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation allocates a single host page for EQ context
memory, which was OK when we only allocated a few EQs.  However, since
we now allocate an EQ for each CPU core, this patch removes the
hard-coded limit (which we exceed with 4 KB pages and 128 byte EQ
context entries with 32 CPUs) and uses the same ICM table code as all
other context tables, which ends up simplifying the code quite a bit
while fixing the problem.

This problem was actually hit in practice on a dual-socket Nehalem box
with 16 real hardware threads and sufficiently odd ACPI tables that it
shows on boot

    SMP: Allowing 32 CPUs, 16 hotplug CPUs

so num_possible_cpus() ends up 32, and mlx4 ends up creating 33 MSI-X
interrupts and 33 EQs.  This mlx4 bug means that mlx4 can't even
initialize at all on this quite mainstream system.
