5b5a60da28 [NET]: Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragment
Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the
last fragment mapped.  As a consequence, the unwary caller would leak
kmaps, and proceed with preempt_count off by one. The only (kind of
non-intuitive) workaround is to use skb_seq_read_abort.

This patch makes sure skb_seq_read always unmaps frag_data after
having cycled through the skb's paged part.

515e06c455 [NET]: Re-enable irqs before pushing pending DMA requests
This moves the local_irq_enable() call in net_rx_action() to before
calling the CONFIG_NET_DMA's dma_async_memcpy_issue_pending() rather
than after.  This shortens the irq disabled window and allows for DMA
drivers that need to do their own irq hold.

ddb61a57bb [TCP] tcp_read_sock: Allow recv_actor() return return negative error value.
tcp_read_sock() currently assumes that the recv_actor() only returns
number of bytes copied. For network splice receive, we may have to
return an error in some cases. So allow the actor to return a negative
error value.

e2d8e314ad [NETFILTER]: nfctnetlink: Don't allow to change helper
There is no realistic situation to change helper (Who wants IRC helper to
track FTP traffic ?). Moreover, if we want to do that, we need to fix race
issue by nfctnetlink and running helper. That will add overhead to packet
processing. It wouldn't pay. So this rejects the request to change
helper. The requests to add or remove helper are accepted as ever.

58229a1899 posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN
posix-timers which deliver an ignored signal are currently rearmed in
the timer softirq: This is necessary because the timer needs to be
delivered again when SIG_IGN is removed. This is not a problem, when
the interval is reasonable.

With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a
very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a
softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is
requeued onto the softirq pending list right away.

This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan !

The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is
ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this
requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand
locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change.

For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only
fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the
overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the
timer_gettime() interface, but...

The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short
coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking
at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In
case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well,
but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is
not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing
to worry about right now.

I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too
large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review
in the next days.

This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

IPoIB connected mode currently rejects a connection request unless the

interoperability with implementations that might have tweaked
IPOIB_CM_MTU, and there's real no longer a reason to do so: this test
is just a leftover from when we did not tweak MTU per-connection.  Fix
this by making the test as permissive as possible.

3ec7393a68 IPoIB/cm: Initialize RX before moving QP to RTR
Fix a crasher bug in IPoIB CM: once a QP is in the RTR state, a
receive completion (or even an asynchronous error) might be observed
on this QP, so we have to initialize all of our receive data
structures before moving to the RTR state.

As an optimization (since modify_qp might take a long time), the
jiffies update done when moving RX to the passive_ids list is also
left in place to reduce the chance of the RX being misdetected as
stale.

24bce50803 IB/umem: Fix possible hang on process exit
If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,

which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock.  Fix the code so that we
only try to take the lock once.

This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export

374abf2cb1 pata_it821x: (partially) fix DMA in RAID mode
Code intended to check DMA status was checking DMA command register.

Moreover firmware seems to "forget" to set DMA capable bit for the
slave device (at least in RAID mode but without ITE RAID volumes) so
check device ID for DMA capable bit when deciding whether to use DMA
and remove DMA status check completely.

Thanks to Pavol Simo for the bugreport and testing the initial fix.

This change unfortunately still doesn't fix DMA in RAID mode (which
works fine with IDE it821x) but Alan is working on the missing pieces
(pata_it821x vs libata EH issues).

2cc49a5ca1 forcedeth: use unicast receive mode for WoL
I happened to notice that a system with an NVidia NIC using the
forcedeth driver won't wake-on-LAN if the interface was in promiscuous
mode when you power off.  By experiment, it looks like
the hardware needs to have NvRegPacketFilterFlags set to
NVREG_PFF_ALWAYS|NVREG_PFF_MYADDR (i.e., receive unicast packets to my
address) in order for WoL to work.

to insert a signed-off-by line with his name on it, though.
