Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk
[XFS] Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk
On 32 bit machines with CONFIG_LBD=n, XFS reduces the
in memory size of xfs_fsblock_t to 32 bits so that it
will fit within 32 bit addressing. However, the disk format
for long btree pointers are still 64 bits in size.
The recent btree rewrite failed to take this into account
when initialising new btree blocks, setting sibling pointers
to NULL and checking if they are NULL. Hence checking whether
a 64 bit NULL was the same as a 32 bit NULL was failingi
resulting in NULL sibling pointers failing to be detected
correctly. This showed up as WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO shutdowns
in xfs_btree_delrec.

x86: fix page attribute corruption with cpa()
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges

That works, but we need to do it not for the struct klist_node,
but for the struct we insert into the void * in klist_node,
which is struct klist.
This is due to debugfs_create_size_t() missing an stub that returns

Some sysfs binary files don't like having 0 passed to them as a size.

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets.
The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data
into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so
well.
The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe
buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference.
But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage)
this doesn't work.
The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references.
The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and
then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref.
The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the
kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is
all that the socket send side has at this point.
This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused
by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet
out to the device.
The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the
skb->data bytes into that page.
This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this
properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important
to get rid of the data corruption.

tg3: Fix firmware loading
This patch modifies how the tg3 driver handles device firmware.
The patch starts by consolidating David Woodhouse's earlier patch under
the same name. Specifically, the patch moves the request_firmware call
into a separate tg3_request_firmware() function and calls that function
from tg3_open() rather than tg3_init_one().
The patch then goes on to limit the number of devices that will make
request_firmware calls. The original firmware patch unnecessarily
requested TSO firmware for devices that did not need it. This patch
reduces the set of devices making TSO firmware patches to approximately
the following device set : 5703, 5704, and 5705.
Finally, the patch reduces the effects of a request_firmware() failure.
For those devices that are requesting TSO firmware, the driver will turn
off the TSO capability. If TSO firmware becomes available at a later
time, the device can be closed and then opened again to reacquire the
TSO capability.

ixgbe: fix tag stripping for VLAN ID 0
Register VLAN ID 0 so that frames with VLAN ID 0 are received and get
their tag stripped when ixgbe is not in DCB mode. VLAN ID 0 means
that the frame is 'priority tagged' only - it is not a VLAN, but the
priority value is the tag in valid. The functions
ixgbe_vlan_rx_register() and ixgbe_vlan_rx_kill_vid() were moved up a
couple functions to correct compiling issues with this change.

ixgbe: fix dca issue with relaxed ordering turned on
The is an issue where setting Relaxed Ordering (RO) bit

to drop DCA hints. This patch forces RO not to be set for
descriptors as well as payload. This will only be in effect
while DCA is enabled and no performance difference was
noticed in testing.
