Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

   - Fix a couple of mount regressions due to the recent cleanups.
   - Fix an Oops in the open recovery code
   - Fix an rpc_pipefs upcall hang that results from some of the net
     namespace work from 3.4.x (stable kernel candidate).
   - Fix a couple of write and o_direct regressions that were found at
     last weeks Bakeathon testing event in Ann Arbor."

netpoll: fix netpoll_send_udp() bugs

2012-06-13T22:57:31+00:00

Bogdan Hamciuc diagnosed and fixed following bug in netpoll_send_udp() :

"skb->len += len;" instead of "skb_put(skb, len);"

Meaning that _if_ a network driver needs to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
only packet headers would be copied, leaving garbage in the payload.

However the skb_realloc_headroom() must be avoided as much as possible
since it requires memory and netpoll tries hard to work even if memory
is exhausted (using a pool of preallocated skbs)

It appears netpoll_send_udp() reserved 16 bytes for the ethernet header,
which happens to work for typicall drivers but not all.

Right thing is to use LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev)
(And also add dev->needed_tailroom of tailroom)

This patch combines both fixes.

Many thanks to Bogdan for raising this issue.

rpc_pipefs: allow rpc_purge_list to take a NULL waitq pointer

2012-06-11T21:27:07+00:00

In the event that we don't have a dentry for a rpc_pipefs pipe, we still
need to allow the queue_timeout job to clean out the queue. There's just
no waitq to wake up in that event.

l2tp: fix a race in l2tp_ip_sendmsg()

2012-06-08T21:30:51+00:00

Commit 081b1b1bb27f (l2tp: fix l2tp_ip_sendmsg() route handling) added
a race, in case IP route cache is disabled.

In this case, we should not do the dst_release(&rt->dst), since it'll
free the dst immediately, instead of waiting a RCU grace period.

    mac80211: set HT channel before association

which is required by iwl4965 driver, otherwise that driver does not
configure channel properly and is not able to associate.

NFC: Fix possible NULL ptr deref when getting the name of a socket

2012-06-08T17:47:07+00:00

llcp_sock_getname() might get called before the LLCP socket was created.
This condition isn't checked, and llcp_sock_getname will simply deref a
NULL ptr in that case.

This exists starting with d646960 ("NFC: Initial LLCP support").

snmp: fix OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams

2012-06-07T21:50:56+00:00

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for
ipSystemStatsOutOctets):

   The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower
   layers for transmission.  Octets from datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here.

And ipIfStatsOutTransmits:

   The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the
   lower layers for transmission.  This includes datagrams generated
   locally and those forwarded by this entity.

Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS.

IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not
include forwarded datagrams:

   The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols
   (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.  Note
   that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams.
