Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:
CPU0 CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
if (tx_ring_full) {
tx_lock
tg3_tx()
if (!netif_queue_stopped)
netif_stop_queue()
if (!tx_ring_full)
update_tx_ring
netif_wake_queue()
tx_unlock
}
Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.
The following changes are made:
1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.
2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.
3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().
4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.
5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.
6. Update version to 3.65.

During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src
can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM
and kernel panics.
It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and
225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash:
syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576
bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e. max rt size is
4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone

While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling;
don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_. If the yield()
took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy),
we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.
This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because
we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it. I see nice
tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds
between successive phases.
Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all. We should be using
interrupts. That's an exercise for another day though.

I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:
udf_create
udf_new_inode
new_inode
alloc_inode
udf_alloc_inode
udf_new_block
returns EIO due to readonlyness
iput (on error)
udf_put_inode
udf_discard_prealloc
udf_next_aext
udf_current_aext
udf_get_fileshortad
OOPS
the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
udf inode.
udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
path if no extents are preallocated:
if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
{
return;
}
so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.
But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
that are not handled by pnp layer. So we should ignore the producer
resources.
This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
resources.
Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
IO.
With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
card).
The solution is to ignore producer resources

In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:
"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption. This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...]
Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)
Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""
This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
