sgi-xp: fix writing past the end of kzalloc()'d space

2009-02-05T20:56:49+00:00

A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d
memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better
solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a
'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.

sgi-xp: link XPNET's net_device_ops to its net_device structure

2009-02-03T23:16:48+00:00

A recent patch by Stephen Hemminger to convert XPNET to use net_device_ops and
internal net_device_stats failed to link the net_device_ops structure to the
net_device structure. See commit e8ac9c55f28482f5b2f497a8e7eb90985db237c2
("xpnet: convert devices to new API").

sgi-xpc: Remove NULL pointer dereference.

2009-01-30T02:04:43+00:00

If the bte copy fails, the attempt to retrieve payloads merely returns a
null pointer deref and not NULL as was expected.

sgi-xpc: ensure flags are updated before bte_copy

2009-01-30T02:04:42+00:00

The clearing of the msg->flags needs a barrier between it and the notify
of the channel threads that the messages are cleaned and ready for use.

sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeat

2009-01-16T00:39:37+00:00

After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted.  This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).

The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC.  The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.

doing IPv6 addresses (from the earlier merge of CIFS).
