Stefan Richter 2799d5c5f9 firewire: core: don't fail device creation in case of too large config ROM blocks
It never happened yet, but better safe than sorry:  If a device's config
ROM contains a block which overlaps the boundary at 0xfffff00007ff, just
ignore that one block instead of refusing to add the device
representation.  That way, upper layers (kernelspace or userspace
drivers) might still be able to use the device to some degree.

That's better than total inaccessibility of the device.  Worse, the core
would have logged only a generic "giving up on config rom" message which
could only be debugged by feeding a firewire-ohci debug logging session
through a config ROM interpreter, IOW would likely remain undiagnosed.

Stefan Richter d54423c62c firewire: core: fix "giving up on config rom" with Panasonic AG-DV2500
The Panasonic AG-DV2500 tape deck contains an invalid entry in its
configuration ROM root directory:  A leaf pointer with the undefined key
ID 0 and an offset that points way out of the standard config ROM area.
This caused firewire-core to dismiss the device with the generic log
message "giving up on config rom for node id...", after which it was of
course impossible to access the tape deck with dvgrab or any other
program.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252#c29

The fix is to simply ignore this invalid ROM entry and proceed to read
the valid rest of the ROM.  There is a catch though:  When the kernel
later iterates over the ROM, it would be nasty having to check again for
such too large ROM offsets.  Therefore we manipulate the defective or
unsupported ROM entry to become a harmless immediate entry that won't
have any side effects later (an entry with the value 0x00000000).

Ajit Khaparde c4d49794ff net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

Atsushi Nemoto 662a96bd6f tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ON
The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull
condition) from txdone routine.  So Unconditional call to the
netif_wake_queue() here is wrong.  This might cause calling of
start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON.

This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled.  After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot.  But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.

In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is
regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

Michael Neuling a17e18790a fs/exec.c: fix initial stack reservation
803bf5ec25 ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial
stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to
20*PAGE_SIZE.  Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not
reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all.

This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does
this already.

This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being
killed.

Tejun Heo d2e7276b6b idr: fix a critical misallocation bug, take#2
This is retry of reverted 859ddf0974
("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs.

* pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by
  sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full().

* The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new
  code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer.

Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount
testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is
run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation.

The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path
bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop
with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.  For detailed
description, please read commit message of 859ddf09.

This commit changes nouveau to construct PTEs which look very much like

I presume that filling multiple PTEs identically with length flags and
the physical address of the start of a block of VRAM is a hint to the
memory controller that it need not perform additional page table lookups
for that range of addresses.

Pallipadi, Venkatesh d306ebc286 ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry
ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending
resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using
the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU.

This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based
deep C-state.

The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also
improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based
deep C-states are being used).

Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f"

Rafael J. Wysocki 61caf87cb5 i915 / PM: Fix hibernate regression caused by suspend/resume splitting
Commit 84b79f8d28 (drm/i915: Fix crash
while aborting hibernation) attempted to fix a regression introduced
by commit cbda12d77e (drm/i915:
implement new pm ops for i915), but it went too far trying to split
the freeze/suspend and resume/thaw parts of the code.  As a result,
it introduced another regression, which only is visible on some systems.

Fix the problem by merging i915_drm_suspend() with
i915_drm_freeze() and moving some code from i915_resume()
into i915_drm_thaw(), so that intel_opregion_free() and
intel_opregion_init() are also executed in the freeze and thaw code
paths, respectively.

Stanislaw Gruszka a120e912eb iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free
Check the frame control for ieee80211_is_data_qos() is true before
counting the number of tfds can be free, the tfds_in_queue only
increment when ieee80211_is_data_qos() is true before transmit; so it
should only decrement if the type match.

Remove ieee80211_is_data_qos check for frame_ctrl in tx_resp to avoid
invalid information pass from uCode.
