net: copy userspace buffers on device forwarding

2011-09-15T18:49:44+00:00

dev_forward_skb loops an skb back into host networking
stack which might hang on the memory indefinitely.
In particular, this can happen in macvtap in bridged mode.
Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the
sender in that case.

As this patch makes skb_copy_ubufs extern now,
I also added some documentation and made it clear
the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flag automatically instead
of doing it in all callers. This can be made into a separate
patch if people feel it's worth it.

tcp: Change possible SYN flooding messages

2011-09-15T18:49:43+00:00

"Possible SYN flooding on port xxxx " messages can fill logs on servers.

Change logic to log the message only once per listener, and add two new
SNMP counters to track :

TCPReqQFullDoCookies : number of times a SYNCOOKIE was replied to client

TCPReqQFullDrop : number of times a SYN request was dropped because
syncookies were not enabled.

Based on a prior patch from Tom Herbert, and suggestions from David.

drivers/gpio/gpio-generic.c: fix build errors

2011-09-15T01:09:38+00:00

Building a kernel with hotplug disabled results in a link failure:

  `bgpio_remove' referenced in section `___ksymtab_gpl+bgpio_remove' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.devexit.text' of drivers/built-in.o

This is because of bgpio_remove() is exported.  It is illegal to export
symbols which are discarded either at link time or as part of an
init/exit section.

Fix this by dropping the __devexit attributation from bgpio_remove().
Also drop the __devinit attributation from bgpio_init().

memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"

2011-09-15T01:09:38+00:00

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").

The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.

The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between.  Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.

Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

mfd: Fix value of WM8994_CONFIGURE_GPIO

2011-09-06T14:37:58+00:00

This needs to be an out of band value for the register and on this device
registers are 16 bit so we must shift left one to the 17th bit.
