tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

atmel_lcdfb: fix initialization of a pre-allocated framebuffer
Fix initialization of framebuffer not calling ioremap_writecombine() function
and not using internal SRAM for at91sam9rl.
This is a little rework of the "Don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer"
patch that corrects the call to ioremap_writecombine() function.
It also cuts the use of internal SRAM for at91sam9rl : it is a bit small
for a framebuffer.

pnp: add ISAPnP MPU option quirks
The AD181x and AZT230 chips don't support an IRQ-less MPU401 option but
work fine without one. This adds (priority functional) IRQ-less options
for each port option to help systems with few available IRQs.
The AD1815 quirk can't use pnp_register_irq_resource() due to doubly
penalizing the IRQ. Also, while not a practical issue due to no IRQ
option being present for the dependents, this needs to add in front, not
back.
Doesn't use pnp_register_port_resource() for symetry with above.
This does not delete the AD1815 independent option even though it should
be empty after the IRQ transfer due to AD1816 coming with an empty but
still present independent option by default.
Was tested on AD1815, AD1816 and AZT2320. The ALSA snd-ad1818a driver
also support the AZT2002 ID for MPU401 but this doesn't as I was unable to

Extends the PLL frequency table of the AMD Geode-LX frame buffer driver to
make use of the DIV4 bit, thus adding support for dotclocks between 6 and 25
MHz. These are needed for small LCDs (e.g. 320x240). Also inserts some
intermediate steps between pre-existing frequencies.
The problem was the insertion of intermediate steps into the frequency
table; they would cause the wrong frequency to be matched. This patch
drops those intermediate frequencies while keeping the sub-25MHz
frequencies.

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

fix SMP data race in pagetable setup vs walking
There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split
ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but
even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc
and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see
find_linux_pte()).
The race is as follows:
The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock
initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted
into the pagetables.
At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous
stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the
page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without
any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've
inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other
CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores
from the other CPU have cleared the memory.
There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They
obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory.
Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without
locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether
split ptes are enabled or not.
I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher
level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding
them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers
in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads
in order).

- When unregistering a gadget driver, before unbind().
* Don't assume gadget drivers provide disconnect callbacks; make sure

unregister it.
Also remove two bogus "error" messages:
* Related to mis-handling of disconnect() ... don't emit error messages
