<content type='text'>
This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.

When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.

This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.

If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.

The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.

The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

Pull yet more networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Various fixes to the new Redpine Signals wireless driver, from
    Fariya Fatima.

 2) L2TP PPP connect code takes PMTU from the wrong socket, fix from
    Dmitry Petukhov.

 3) UFO and TSO packets differ in whether they include the protocol
    header in gso_size, account for that in skb_gso_transport_seglen().
   From Florian Westphal.

 4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging
    output path.  From Toshiaki Makita.

 5) Several call sites of sk-&gt;sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB
    just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the
    second argument via skb-&gt;len.  This is dangerous because the moment
    the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another
    context and freed up.

    It turns out also that none of the sk-&gt;sk_data_ready()
    implementations even care about this second argument.

    So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a
    side effect.

 6) Fix inverted test in tcp_v6_send_response(), from Lorenzo Colitti.

 7) pktgen needs to do locking properly for LLTX devices, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) xen-netfront driver initializes TX array entries in RX loop :-) From
    Vincenzo Maffione.

 9) After refactoring, some tunnel drivers allow a tunnel to be
    configured on top itself.  Fix from Nicolas Dichtel.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (46 commits)
  vti: don't allow to add the same tunnel twice

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

This patch fixes the initialization of an array used in the TX
datapath that was mistakenly initialized together with the
RX datapath arrays. An out of range array access could happen
when RX and TX rings had different sizes.

Jeff Kirsher says:

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, igbvf, ixgb, ixgbe,
ixgbevf and i40evf.

Mark fixes an issue with ixgbe and ixgbevf by adding a bit to indicate
when workqueues have been initialized.  This permits the register read
error handling from attempting to use them prior to that, which also
generates warnings.  Checking for a detected removal after initializing
the work queues allows the probe function to return an error without
getting the workqueue involved.  Further, if the error_detected
callback is entered before the workqueues are initialized, exit without
recovery since the device initialization was so truncated.

Francois Romieu provides several patches to all the drivers to remove
the open coded skb_cow_head.

Jakub Kicinski provides a fix for igb where last_rx_timestamp should be
updated only when Rx time stamp is read.

Mitch provides a fix for i40evf where a recent change broke the RSS LUT
programming causing it to be programmed with all 0's.
