In this code, the failure_cleanup label calls the function
plx_pci_del_card, which frees everything in the card->net_dev array. dev
is placed in this array immediately after allocation, so the two subsequent
jumps to failure_cleanup should not also call free_sja1000dev, but the
second one does.
If plx_pci_check_sja1000 fails, then free_sja1000dev is also called on
dev. Because dev is already in the card->net_dev array, this implies that
when plx_pci_del_card is later called, it may get freed again. So that
entry is reset to NULL after the free.
Finally, if there is a problem with one channel, there will be a hole in the
array. card->channels counts the number of channels that have succeeded,
and does not keep track of the index of the largest element in the array
that is valid. So the loop in plx_pci_del_card is changed to go up to
PLX_PCI_MAX_CHAN, which is only 2.

The cdc_ncm driver still has a few places where stack variables are

The vmxnet3 driver enables vlan filters if filtering is enabled for
any vlan. In promiscuous mode the filter table is cleared to in
order to disable filtering. However, if a vlan device is subsequently
created that vlan will be added to the filter, re-engaging it. As a
result, not only do we not see all the vlans in promiscuous mode, we
don't even see vlans for which a filter was previously created.

When the Manageability Engine (ME) is enabled on 82579, it periodically
accesses some MAC CSR registers. There is an arbiter in hardware which
prevents simultaneous access of these registers by the host software, i.e.
the driver. There is a hardware bug in the aribter that signals a host
access of the registers later than it actually happens. A write of the
Transmit or Receive Descriptor Tail register could result in an incorrect
value if the driver and ME perform simultaneous accesses which could result
in an access to an invalid memory address. This would return an
Unsupported Request which could hang the hardware. Workaround the issue by
checking the FWSM register bit24 which is set by ME before it accesses the
MAC CSR registers.

On 82577/8/9 in half-duplex when a received packet is passed from the PHY
to the MAC, if too many preamble octects are stripped from the packet
before arriving at the MAC, it can be misintrepeted as an in-band message
rather than an actual frame. For example, if the frame contents resembled
an interrupt request in-band message, it would trigger a false interrupt.
In most cases, the packet is just dropped.
By reducing the number of preamble octets stripped from the beginning of
the frame when passing it from the PHY to the MAC, the MAC will interpret
the frame properly.
An additional uses of the magic PHY_REG(770, 16) have been updated with a
define introduced with this patch.

Just like files-layout, blocks & objects layouts are part of the
NFS 4.1 protocol and should be automatically selected if NFS_4_1
is selected. The small problem is that these depend on other
Kernel support being present, while files only depends on NFS
itself.
This patch removes from the user choice the presence of objects
and blocks layout. But makes sure these are selected only if
the depended subsystems are present in the Kernel.

Commit df5e6223407e ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC
conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long
symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions. However,
the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is
enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.
Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:
J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);
Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.
Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.
The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.
Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

As rt_iif represents input device even for packets
coming from loopback with output route, it is not an unique
key specific to input routes. Now rt_route_iif has such role,
it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at
some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics.
compare_keys:
- input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same
- output routes: only rt_oif matters, rt_iif is not
used for matching in __ip_route_output_key
- now we are back to 2.6.38 state
ip_route_input_common:
- matching rt_route_iif implies input route
- compared to 2.6.38 we eliminated one rth->fl.oif check
because it was not needed even for 2.6.38
compare_hash_inputs:
Only the change here is not an optimization, it has
effect only for output routes. I assume I'm restoring
the original intention to ignore oif, it was using fl.iif
- now we are back to 2.6.38 state

Currently, arch-mmp/time.c uses timer 0 both as a clocksource timer
and as a clockevent timer, the latter by setting up a comparator
interrupt to match on 'current_time + delta'. This is problematic
if delta is small enough, as that can lead to 'current_time + delta'
already being in the past when comparator setup has finished, leading
to the requested event not triggering.
As there is also a silicon issue that requires stopping a timer's
counter while writing to one of its match registers, we'll switch to
using two separate timers -- timer 0 as clockevent timer, which we'll
start and stop on every invocation of ->set_next_event(), and timer 1
as clocksource timer, which will be free-running.
This first patch enables timer 1 on boot, so that we can use it as
clocksource timer.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.
vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

getcpu is available as a vdso entry and an emulated vsyscall.
Programs that for some reason don't want to use the vdso should
still be able to call getcpu without relying on the slow emulated
vsyscall. It costs almost nothing to expose it as a real syscall.
We also need this for the following patch in vsyscall=native mode.

x86-64: Move vread_tsc and vread_hpet into the vDSO
user code no longer directly calls into code in arch/x86/kernel/, so
we don't need compile flag hacks to make it safe. All vdso code is
in the vdso directory now.
