Subject: [GIT]: Networking
1) IPV6 RAW socket code should use NET_RX_DROP when dropping packets
which have no receivers, from Yang Hongyang.
2) linux/mroute.h usability by userspace was inadvertantly broken.
3) Users of xfrm_bundle_create() should not make NULL checks, as
this function returns PTR_ERR values. From Julien Brunel.
4) More packet scheduler qdisc locking fixes from Jarek Poplawski.
After dev_deactivate() has run, we should be locking ->qdisc_sleeping
not ->qdisc.
5) It's possible to try and take xfrm_state_lock recursively and
deadlock in some circumstances. This happens after a commit that
went into 2.6.25, so I'll queue this up for -stable too.
Fix by making sure we do xfrm_state_put() calls without the lock
held.
6) If you set the MTU of an interface below 68, IPV4 is disabled
for that interface. That's fine, but no matter what you do,
even increasing the MTU back to 68 or larger will not make the
interface usable by IPV4 again. You'll have to completely destroy
and recreate the device by reloading the module or similar.
Fix by doing the proper re-enabling when the MTU size becomes
large enough again.
Fix from Breno Leitao.
7) Wireless driver fixes via John Linville:
a) Bogus BUILD_BUG_On in rt2x00, from Boaz Harrosh
b) Orinoco driver sets multicast incorrectly because is uses the
wrong mc_count value. It was loading unitialized data into
the multicast part of the card. From David Kilroy.
c) iwlwifi erroneously uses GFP_DMA which will depleat the GFP_DMA
pool unnecessarily and cause failures.
d) mac80211 debugfs code was abusing a union and corrupting the
value. Non-union it to fix the problem, from Jouni Malinen.
e) Inverted usage of FLAG_INIT_DONE bit in iwlwifi apm_stop(), from
Mohamed Abbas.
f) Incorrect encryption key usage in ath9k driver, fix from Senthil Balasubramanian
g) ath9k again, does local_bh_enable() with hard IRQs disabled, also from
Senthil Balasubramanian
h) Some iwlwifi chips come up with INTX_DISABLED set, by the bios or something
else, explicitly clear it to fix non-working interrupts on some systems.
From Tomas Winkler.
i) iwlwifi can't load firmware correctly on 64-bit systems because the high
32-bits of the DMA address was not loaded properly, also from Tomas Winkler.
Please pull, thanks a lot!
