Commit 221af7f87b ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split
the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no
more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint,
but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting
going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a
bit more careful.
In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old
personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup'
stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state
that we're just setting up.
So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()',
which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state
etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect
any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment.
This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu
environment.

Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
with more test results.
This patch does two things.
- Do not idle on async queues.
- It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
be kicking in at all.
This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
request).
Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.
With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
results.

When we cat <debugfs>/tracing/stack_trace, we may cause circular lock:
sys_read()
t_start()
arch_spin_lock(&max_stack_lock);
t_show()
seq_printf(), vsnprintf() .... /* they are all trace-able,
when they are traced, max_stack_lock may be required again. */
The following script can trigger this circular dead lock very easy:
#!/bin/bash
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
mount -t debugfs xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
(
# make check_stack() zealous to require max_stack_lock
for ((; ;))
{
echo 1 > /mnt/tracing/stack_max_size
}
) &
for ((; ;))
{
cat /mnt/tracing/stack_trace > /dev/null
}
To fix this bug, we increase the percpu trace_active before
require the lock.

The TCPMSS target is dropping SYN packets where:
1) There is data, or
2) The data offset makes the TCP header larger than the packet.
Both of these result in an error level printk. This printk has been
removed.
This change avoids dropping SYN packets containing data. If there
is also no MSS option (as well as data), one will not be added
because of possible complications due to the increased packet size.

The spi_sh_msiof.c driver presently misconfigures REDG and TEDG. TEDG==0
outputs data at the **rising edge** of the clock and REDG==0 samples data
at the **falling edge** of the clock. Therefore for SPI, TEDG must be
equal to REDG, otherwise the last byte received is not sampled in SPI
mode 3.

In the transmit path of firewire-net (IPv4 over 1394), the following
race condition may occur:
- The networking soft IRQ inserts a datagram into the 1394 async
request transmit DMA.
- The 1394 async transmit completion tasklet runs to finish cleaning
up (unlink datagram from list of pending ones, release skb and
outbound 1394 transaction object) --- before the networking soft IRQ
had a chance to proceed and add the datagram to the list of pending
datagrams.
This caused a panic in the 1394 async transmit completion tasklet when
it dereferenced unitialized list heads:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15077
The fix is to add checks in the tx soft IRQ and in the tasklet to
determine which of these two is the last referrer to the transaction
object. Then handle the cleanup of the object by the last referrer
rather than assuming that the tasklet is always the last one.
There is another similar race: Between said tasklet and fwnet_close,
i.e. at ifdown. However, that race is much less likely to occur in
practice and shall be fixed in a separate update.

When injecting frames, mac80211 currently looks for the first AP
interface that matches the source address of the injected frame.
This breaks when such a frame is directed at a STA that has been moved
to a VLAN. This patch fixes it by using sta_info_get_bss instead of
sta_info_get, which also finds stations belonging to a VLAN interface
of the same BSS as the AP interface.

When an injected frame gets buffered for a powersave STA or filtered
and retransmitted, mac80211 attempts to parse the radiotap header
again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point.
This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap
header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info
on the next call to ieee80211_tx().
This fixes severe issues with rekeying in AP mode.

Because AP VLAN interfaces are not processed as part of this loop, it

This adds a new regulatory hint to be used when we know all
devices have been disconnected and idle. This can happen
when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can
no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from
a country IE or beacon hints are applicable so restore
regulatory settings to an initial state.
Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called
the hint, those hints are not reproduced onto cfg80211
as the wiphy will respect its own wiphy->regd regardless.

DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses;
however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works
around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start
address within it.
When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into
account which results in an oops:

Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using
it as parameter to kfree().
This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB

debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.
