1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
count if the socket was actually hashed.
This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
resulting in all kinds of troubles.
On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
conditional to erroneously trigger:
err = -ENOMEM;
if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
goto err;
2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.
However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.
So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.
Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

interrupt assignment
ACPI: Make sure we call acpi_register_gsi() even for default PCI interrupt assignment
That's the part that keeps track of the ELCR register, and we want to
make sure that the PCI interrupts are properly marked level/low.

Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends
They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they
_read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them.
Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to
change the memory that the compare function is accessing..
Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.

Out-of-tree user of remap_pfn_range hit kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:1112!
It passes an unrounded size to remap_pfn_range, which was okay before
2.6.12, but misses remap_pte_range's new end condition. An audit of
all the other ptwalks confirms that this is the only one so exposed.

__cfq_get_queue(). __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it. If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.
On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time. Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.
Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

The ELF core dump code has one use of off_t when writing out segments.
Some of the segments may be passed the 2GB limit of an off_t, even on a
32-bit system, so it's important to use loff_t instead. This fixes a
corrupted core dump in the bigcore test in GDB's testsuite.

This fixed a problem that showed up in the Fedora development tree a few
weeks before the Fedora Core 4 release, initially as slab corruption, later
as hard crashes on boot up, when slab debugging was disabled for the
release. More details on the history at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158424
The problem is caused by sbp2's use of scsi_host->hostdata[0] to hold a
scsi_id, without explicitly requesting space for it. Since hostdata is
declared as a zero-sized array, we don't get any such space by default, so
it must be explicitly requested. The patch below implements just that.

On 64-bit machines, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK and other mask constants
passed to pci_size() are 64-bit (for example ~0x0fUL). However, pci_size
does comparisons between the u32 arguments and the mask, which will fail
even though any result from pci_size is still just 32-bit.
Changing the mask argument to u32 seems the obvious thing to do, since all
arithmetic in the function is 32-bit and having a larger mask makes no
sense.
This triggered on a PPC64 system here where an adapter (VGA, as it
happened) had a memory region base of 0xfe000000 and a sz of the same,
matching the if (max == maxbase ...) test at the bottom of pci_size but
failing the mask comparison. Quite a corner case which I guess explains
why we haven't seen it until now.

This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error
messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default
behaviour.
In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip
of the exiting interface.
The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send
the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that
caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will
expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts
much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later
behaviour.
