2008-05-20IPoIB: Test for NULL broadcast object in ipiob_mcast_join_finish()Jack Morgenstein
We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>. The test randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up. The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the broadcast pointer is NULL). This patch tests for and handles the case where priv->broadcast is NULL.

2008-05-20ath5k: Fix loop variable initializationsBob Copeland
In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop. If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the variables may see changes from previous packets. For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211 will not try to decrypt it. We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix the other two.

Am I just being particularly dim today, or can the call to dev->change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in dev_change_flags() never happen? We've just set dev->flags = flags & IFF_MULTICAST, effectively.

2008-05-20ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out functionHerbert Xu
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.

Commit 7329e211b987a493cbcfca0e98c60eb108ab42df ("USB: root hubs don't lie about their number of TTs") requires the various platform EHCI glue modules to set ->has_tt if the root hub has a Transaction Translator.

2008-05-20IB/mlx4: Fix creation of kernel QP with max number of send s/g entriesRoland Dreier
When creating a kernel QP where the consumer asked for a send queue with lots of scatter/gater entries, set_kernel_sq_size() incorrectly returned an error if the send queue stride is larger than the hardware's maximum send work request descriptor size. This is not a problem; the only issue is to make sure that the actual descriptors used do not overflow the maximum descriptor size, so check this instead. Clamp the returned max_send_sge value to be no bigger than what query_device returns for the max_sge to avoid confusing hapless users, even if the hardware is capable of handling a few more s/g entries. This bug caused NFS/RDMA mounts to fail when the server adapter used the mlx4 driver. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

2008-05-20Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdataGreg Kroah-Hartman
We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later setting of this field. So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and device_create_drvdata() that take this new field. device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.
