commit 49b532f96fda23663f8be35593d1c1372c0f91e0 upstream.
This reverts commit 448ac154c957c4580531fa0c8f2045816fe2f0e7.
The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race
condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of
interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events. An modem status event at the
wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status
leading to a hang. So, revert this in preparation for using the
existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core
(UART_BUG_THRE).

commit 94324962066231a938564bebad0f941cd2d06bb2 upstream.
Make sure hci_dev_open returns immediately if hci_dev_unregister has
been called.
This fixes a race between hci_dev_open and hci_dev_unregister which can
lead to a NULL-pointer dereference.
Bug is 100% reproducible using hciattach and a disconnected serial port:
0. # hciattach -n /dev/ttyO1 any noflow
1. hci_dev_open called from hci_power_on grabs req lock
2. hci_init_req executes but device fails to initialise (times out
eventually)
3. hci_dev_open is called from hci_sock_ioctl and sleeps on req lock
4. hci_uart_tty_close calls hci_dev_unregister and sleeps on req lock in
hci_dev_do_close
5. hci_dev_open (1) releases req lock
6. hci_dev_do_close grabs req lock and returns as device is not up
7. hci_dev_unregister sleeps in destroy_workqueue
8. hci_dev_open (3) grabs req lock, calls hci_init_req and eventually sleeps
9. hci_dev_unregister finishes, while hci_dev_open is still running...

commit 9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1 upstream.
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.
We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.
Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

commit 66189be74ff5f9f3fd6444315b85be210d07cef2 upstream.
We can deadlock if we have a write oplock and two processes
use the same file handle. In this case the first process can't
unlock its lock if the second process blocked on the lock in the
same time.
Fix it by using posix_lock_file rather than posix_lock_file_wait
under cinode->lock_mutex. If we request a blocking lock and
posix_lock_file indicates that there is another lock that prevents
us, wait untill that lock is released and restart our call.

commit 3751d3e85cf693e10e2c47c03c8caa65e171099b upstream.
There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.
The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.
The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.

commit 98b54aa1a2241b59372468bd1e9c2d207bdba54b upstream.
There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the
kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed. The
debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install
breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. Some arch such
as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a
read only page.
Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and
kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type
variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

commit 247bc03742545fec2f79939a3b9f738392a0f7b4 upstream.
There is a race condition between the freezer and request_firmware()
such that if request_firmware() is run on one CPU and
freeze_processes() is run on another CPU and usermodehelper_disable()
called by it succeeds to grab umhelper_sem for writing before
usermodehelper_read_trylock() called from request_firmware()
acquires it for reading, the request_firmware() will fail and
trigger a WARN_ON() complaining that it was called at a wrong time.
However, in fact, it wasn't called at a wrong time and
freeze_processes() simply happened to be executed simultaneously.
To avoid this race, at least in some cases, modify
usermodehelper_read_trylock() so that it doesn't fail if the
freezing of tasks has just started and hasn't been completed yet.
Instead, during the freezing of tasks, it will try to freeze the
task that has called it so that it can wait until user space is
thawed without triggering the scary warning.
For this purpose, change usermodehelper_disabled so that it can
take three different values, UMH_ENABLED (0), UMH_FREEZING and
UMH_DISABLED. The first one means that usermode helpers are
enabled, the last one means "hard disable" (i.e. the system is not
ready for usermode helpers to be used) and the second one
is reserved for the freezer. Namely, when freeze_processes() is
started, it sets usermodehelper_disabled to UMH_FREEZING which
tells usermodehelper_read_trylock() that it shouldn't fail just
yet and should call try_to_freeze() if woken up and cannot
return immediately. This way all freezable tasks that happen
to call request_firmware() right before freeze_processes() is
started and lose the race for umhelper_sem with it will be
frozen and will sleep until thaw_processes() unsets
usermodehelper_disabled. [For the non-freezable callers of
request_firmware() the race for umhelper_sem against
freeze_processes() is unfortunately unavoidable.]

commit 9b78c1da60b3c62ccdd1509f0902ad19ceaf776b upstream.
If firmware is requested asynchronously, by calling
request_firmware_nowait(), there is no reason to fail the request
(and warn the user) when the system is (presumably temporarily)
unready to handle it (because user space is not available yet or
frozen). For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for
read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that
will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with
a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of
usermodehelper_read_trylock().
Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses
usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove
the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().

commit fe2e39d8782d885755139304d8dba0b3e5bfa878 upstream.
Instead of two functions, read_lock_usermodehelper() and
usermodehelper_is_disabled(), used in combination, introduce
usermodehelper_read_trylock() that will only return with umhelper_sem
held if usermodehelper_disabled is unset (and will return -EAGAIN
otherwise) and make _request_firmware() use it.
Rename read_unlock_usermodehelper() to
usermodehelper_read_unlock() to follow the naming convention of the
new function.

commit 4a649903f91232d02284d53724b0a45728111767 upstream.
Richard Weinberger noticed that on some RTC hardware that
doesn't support UIE mode, due to coarse granular alarms
(like 1minute resolution), the current virtualized RTC
support doesn't properly error out when UIE is enabled.
Instead the current code queues an alarm for the next second,
but it won't fire until up to a miniute later.
This patch provides a generic way to flag this sort of hardware
and fixes the issue on the mpc5121 where Richard noticed the
problem.

commit 1631fcea8399da5e80a80084b3b8c5bfd99d21e7 upstream.
<asm-generic/unistd.h> was set up to use sys_sendfile() for the 32-bit
compat API instead of sys_sendfile64(), but in fact the right thing to
do is to use sys_sendfile64() in all cases. The 32-bit sendfile64() API
in glibc uses the sendfile64 syscall, so it has to be capable of doing
full 64-bit operations. But the sys_sendfile() kernel implementation
has a MAX_NON_LFS test in it which explicitly limits the offset to 2^32.
So, we need to use the sys_sendfile64() implementation in the kernel
for this case.

This is a backport of mainline commit
1e78a0c7fc92aee076965d516cf54475c39e9894.
The TMU device on the Mackerel board belongs to the A4R power domain
and loses power when the domain is turned off. Unfortunately, the
TMU driver is not prepared to cope with such situations and crashes
the system when that happens. To work around this problem introduce
a new helper function, pm_genpd_dev_always_on(), allowing a device
driver to mark its device as "always on" in case it belongs to a PM
domain, which will make the generic PM domains core code avoid
powering off the domain containing the device, both at run time and
during system suspend.

commit d95b82461c56a6ff8ff248b101049a69ebb20278 upstream.
If the initiator sends us an INQUIRY command with an allocation length
that's shorter than what we want to return, we're simply supposed to
truncate our response and return what the initiator gave us space for,
without signaling any error. Current target code has various tests that
don't fill out the full response if the buffer is too short and
sometimes return errors incorrectly.
Fix this up by allocating a bounce buffer for INQUIRY responses if we
need to, ie if we have cmd->data_length too small as well as
SCF_PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC set in cmd->se_cmd_flags -- for most
fabrics, we always allocate at least a full page, but for tcm_loop we
may have a small buffer coming directly from the SCSI stack.
This lets us delete a lot of cmd->data_length checking, and also makes
our INQUIRY handling correct per SPC in a lot more cases.

commit ce880cb860f36694d2cdebfac9e6ae18176fe4c4 upstream.
The USB graphics card driver delays the unregistering of the framebuffer
device to a workqueue, which breaks the userspace visible remove uevent
sequence. Recent userspace tools started to support USB graphics card
hotplug out-of-the-box and rely on proper events sent by the kernel.
The framebuffer device is a direct child of the USB interface which is
removed immediately after the USB .disconnect() callback. But the fb device
in /sys stays around until its final cleanup, at a time where all the parent
devices have been removed already.
To work around that, we remove the sysfs fb device directly in the USB
.disconnect() callback and leave only the cleanup of the internal fb
data to the delayed work.

commit 1a5a9906d4e8d1976b701f889d8f35d54b928f25 upstream.
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.
====== start quote =======
mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

// Here we set the page's PMD entry which will be cleared
// when Thread A calls pmd_clear_bad().
...
spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.

When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new
memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in
mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from
free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from
exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit).
Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has
been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is
still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing.
A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against
removal. In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg,
and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the
memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to
0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing.
Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to
lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not
necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps
some isolated for other reasons. So, force_empty may find no task, no
charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed.
There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but
typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be
added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru
and freed. We don't see the issue when adding, because the
mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being
scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list().
I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and
PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view
of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set.
38c5d72f3ebe ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully
removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault.
But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check
PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec
to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged. A risky
change? just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of
uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem.
And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making
sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no
longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9b9 ("memcg:
clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary").
Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c
is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg
structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe
without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

Make vfork() killable.
Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.
However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.
NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

for the word-at-a-time patches. This time we really don't even want to
export it, because it really is an internal function to fs/dcache.c, and
has been since it was introduced.
Having it in that extremely hot header file (it's included in pretty
much everything, thanks to <linux/fs.h>) is a disaster for testing
different versions, and is utterly pointless.
We really should have some kind of header file diet thing, where we
figure out which parts of header files are really better off private and
only result in more expensive compiles.

It did some odd things for unclear reasons. As this is one of the
functions that gets changed when doing word-at-a-time compares, this is
yet another of the "don't change any semantics, but clean things up so
that subsequent patches don't get obscured by the cleanups".

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it.
There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly.
But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time
dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and
uninlining it sets the stage for that.
So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics,
and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry
name accessor patch.

These don't change any semantics, but they clean up the code a bit and
mark some arguments appropriately 'const'.
They came up as I was doing the word-at-a-time dcache name accessor
code, and cleaning this up now allows me to send out a smaller relevant
interesting patch for the experimental stuff.

There is only one error code to return for a bad user-space buffer
pointer passed to a system call in the same address space as the
system call is executed, and that is EFAULT. Furthermore, the
low-level access routines, which catch most of the faults, return
EFAULT already.

The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets would always
have .get and .set methods, but not necessarily .active methods.
Unfortunately people have since written regsets without .set methods.
Rather than putting in stub functions everywhere, handle regsets with
null .get or .set methods explicitly.

This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.
Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.
The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

Since 2.6.39 (1196f8b), when a driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions() to remove
in-kernel partition structures and raise KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.
However it ends up calling driver's revalidate_disk without open
and could cause oops.
In the case of SCSI:
process A process B
----------------------------------------------
sys_open
__blkdev_get
sd_open
returns -ENOMEDIUM
scsi_remove_device
<scsi_device torn down>
rescan_partitions
sd_revalidate_disk
<oops>
Oopses are reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132388619710052
This patch separates the partition invalidation from rescan_partitions()
and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.

highest_sack field in struct tcp_sock. The comments previously claimed
that it was the "start sequence of the highest skb with SACKed

sequence of the skb just *after* the highest skb with SACKed bit".

functions conditional
The problem in
commit fea80311a939a746533a6d7e7c3183729d6a3faf
Author: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>
Date: Sun Jul 24 11:39:14 2011 -0700
iomap: make IOPORT/PCI mapping functions conditional
is that if your architecture supplies pci_iomap/pci_iounmap, it expects
always to supply them. Adding empty body defitions in the !CONFIG_PCI
case, which is what this patch does, breaks the parisc compile because
the functions become doubly defined. It took us a while to spot this,
because we don't actually build !CONFIG_PCI very often (only if someone
is brave enough to test the snake/asp machines).
Since the note in the commit log says this is to fix a
CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP issue (which it does because CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP
supplies pci_iounmap only if CONFIG_PCI is set), there should actually
have been a condition upon this. This should make sure no other
architecture's !CONFIG_PCI compile breaks in the same way as parisc.
The fix had to be updated to take account of the GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP
separation.

1) ICMP sockets leave err uninitialized but we try to return it for the
unsupported MSG_OOB case, reported by Dave Jones.
2) Add new Zaurus device ID entries, from Dave Jones.
3) Pointer calculation in hso driver memset is wrong, from Dan
Carpenter.
4) ks8851_probe() checks unsigned value as negative, fix also from Dan
Carpenter.
5) Fix crashes in atl1c driver due to TX queue handling, from Eric

future for this driver as well.
6) The inline directive fix in Bluetooth which was breaking the build
only with very new versions of GCC, from Johan Hedberg.
7) Fix crashes in the ATP CLIP code due to ARP cleanups this merge
window, reported by Meelis Roos and fixed by Eric Dumazet.
8) JME driver doesn't flush RX FIFO correctly, from Guo-Fu Tseng.
9) Some ip6_route_output() callers test the return value for NULL, but
this never happens as the convention is to return a dst entry with
dst->error set. Fixes from RonQing Li.
10) Logitech Harmony 900 should be handled by zaurus driver not
cdc_ether, update white lists and black lists accordingly. From
Scott Talbert.
11) Receiving from certain kinds of devices there won't be a MAC header,
so there is no MAC header to fixup in the IPSEC code, and if we try
to do it we'll crash. Fix from Eric Dumazet.
12) Port type array indexing off-by-one in mlx4 driver, fix from Yevgeny
Petrilin.
13) Fix regression in link-down handling in davinci_emac which causes
all RX descriptors to be freed up and therefore RX to wedge
completely, from Christian Riesch.
14) It took two attempts, but ctnetlink soft lockups seem to be
cured now, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
15) Endianness bug fix in ENIC driver, from Santosh Nayak.
16) The long ago conversion of the PPP fragmentation code over to
abstracted SKB list handling wasn't perfect, once we get an
out of sequence SKB we don't flush the rest of them like we
should. From Ben McKeegan.
17) Fix regression of ->ip_summed initialization in sfc driver.
From Ben Hutchings.
18) Bluetooth timeout mistakenly using msecs instead of jiffies,
from Andrzej Kaczmarek.
19) Using _sync variant of work cancellation results in deadlocks,
use the non _sync variants instead. From Andre Guedes.
20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading
to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila.
21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added
two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet.
22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver. Fix from Julia Lawall.
23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from
non-__exit code. From Nikola Pajkovsky.
24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a
race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix
from Michel Machado.
25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device
dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
allocated by properly written netlink applications.
In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
GLIBC stop working.
To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed
applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed
to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
mere presence of VFs on a network device.
Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.
Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.
We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.
