David Woodhouse c7258a4477 [JFFS2] Check for all-zero node headers
Due to a poor choice of CRC32 seed, a node header which is all zeroes
would pass the CRC32 check. Explicitly check for this case, and treat it
as we do a CRC failure.

Adrian Hunter 74641d7527 [MTD] Correct partition failed erase address
If an erase operation fails, the address at which the
failure occurred is returned by the driver.  The MTD
partition must adjust this address (by subtracting the
partition offset) before returning to the caller.
This was not happening, which caused JFFS2 to mark
the wrong block bad!

David Woodhouse f8a922c7bb [JFFS2] Use yield() between GC passes in background thread.
The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.

Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.

By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

Aji Srinivas de79059ecd [BRIDGE]: adding new device to bridge should enable if up
One change introduced by the workqueue removal patch is that adding an
interface that is up to a bridge which is also up does not ever call
br_stp_enable_port(), leaving the port in DISABLED state until we do
ifconfig down and up or link events occur.

The following patch to the br_add_if function fixes it.
This is a regression introduced in 2.6.21.

Eric Paris ef41aaa0b7 [IPSEC]: xfrm_policy delete security check misplaced
The security hooks to check permissions to remove an xfrm_policy were
actually done after the policy was removed.  Since the unlinking and
deletion are done in xfrm_policy_by* functions this moves the hooks
inside those 2 functions.  There we have all the information needed to
do the security check and it can be done before the deletion.  Since
auditing requires the result of that security check err has to be passed
back and forth from the xfrm_policy_by* functions.

This patch also fixes a bug where a deletion that failed the security
check could cause improper accounting on the xfrm_policy
(xfrm_get_policy didn't have a put on the exit path for the hold taken
by xfrm_policy_by*)

It also fixes the return code when no policy is found in
xfrm_add_pol_expire.  In old code (at least back in the 2.6.18 days) err
wasn't used before the return when no policy is found and so the
initialization would cause err to be ENOENT.  But since err has since
been used above when we don't get a policy back from the xfrm_policy_by*
function we would always return 0 instead of the intended ENOENT.  Also
fixed some white space damage in the same area.

This reverts an earlier patch which disabled bidirectional mode, meaning that

This mode had been disabled when there were problems with CCID3, but it

A change is included to ignore RX feedback received by the TX CCID3 module.

Josef Whiter a13cbe3753 [GFS2] fix hangup when multiple processes are trying to write to the same file
This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++.  When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode.  Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock.  Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write.  This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock.  This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

Wendy Cheng a7d2b2bdc9 [GFS2] NFS filehandle check
File handle checking error found in '07 NFS connectathon. The fh_type
and fh_len are not necessarily identical. Some of the client machines
could fail mount with stale filehandle without this patch.
