Jeff Layton cea218054a [CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pages
Fix RedHat bug 329431

The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
due to memory pressure.

Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
out pages. This can lead to data corruption.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
filemap_write_and_wait,
which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
original.

CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
operation.

This patch does the following:

1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.

2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.

3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
ATTR_SIZE changes.

4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
errors when writing out pages.

Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

I recently experienced unexplainable behaviour with the b43

been that promisc mode was not correctly enabled or disabled

Note how the values are compared later in the function so
just doing the & will result in the wrong thing being
compared and the test being false almost always.

Evgeniy Polyakov 1f305323ff [NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target.
When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can
have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and
thus not required to be copied.

Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from
nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced.

Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>.

[ Patrick McHardy states:

	I now understand whats happening:

	- new connection is allocated without helper
	- connection is REDIRECTed to localhost
	- nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet
	- nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the
	   new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension,
	   causing reallocation because of too little space
	- nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension

	So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :)  ]

David S. Miller 0a06ea8718 [WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.
On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than
sizeof(struct iwreq).

For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace
using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates
a "struct iwreq".  Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq
object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory.

Fix the copy_to_user() length.

This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat
code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated
buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets
overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.

Christian Borntraeger ce7e9fae8d [S390] Optimize storage key handling for anonymous pages
page_mkclean used to call page_clear_dirty for every given page. This
is different to all other architectures, where the dirty bit in the
PTEs is only resetted, if page_mapping() returns a non-NULL pointer.
We can move the page_test_dirty/page_clear_dirty sequence into the
2nd if to avoid unnecessary iske/sske sequences, which are expensive.

This change also helps kvm for s390 as the host must transfer the
dirty bit into the guest status bits. By moving the page_clear_dirty
operation into the 2nd if, the vm will only call page_clear_dirty
for pages where it walks the mapping anyway. There it calls
ptep_clear_flush for writable ptes, so we can transfer the dirty bit
to the guest.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0b47759db5 [POWERPC] Fix 8xx build breakage due to _tlbie changes
My changes to _tlbie to fix 4xx unfortunately broke 8xx build in a
couple of places.  This fixes it.

Sam Jansen 5487796f0c [TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control function
From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com>

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm.  This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.

Ilpo Jrvinen 6e42141009 [TCP] MTUprobe: fix potential sk_send_head corruption
When the abstraction functions got added, conversion here was
made incorrectly. As a result, the skb may end up pointing
to skb which got included to the probe skb and then was freed.
For it to trigger, however, skb_transmit must fail sending as
well.

Pavel Emelyanov 1f8170b0ec [PKTGEN]: Fix double unlock of xfrm_state->lock
The pktgen_output_ipsec() function can unlock this lock twice
due to merged error and plain paths. Remove one of the calls
to spin_unlock.

Other possible solution would be to place "return 0" right 
after the first unlock, but at this place the err is known 
to be 0, so these solutions are the same except for this one
makes the code shorter.
