      [PPP]: Fix output buffer size in ppp_decompress_frame(). · 06c7af56
      Konstantin Sharlaimov authored 
      
This patch addresses the issue with "osize too small" errors in mppe
encryption.  The patch fixes the issue with wrong output buffer size
being passed to ppp decompression routine.

--------------------
As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by
ppp-fix-osize-too-small-errors-when-decoding patch is not fully resolved yet.
The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to
ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong. The patch fixes that.

      [IRDA]: Avoid a label defined but not used warning in irda_init() · 2c20d72a
      Jesper Juhl authored 
      
Easily avoidable compiler warnings bug me.

Building irmod without CONFIG_SYSCTL currently results in :
 net/irda/irmod.c:132: warning: label 'out_err_2' defined but not used

But that can easily be avoided by simply moving the label inside
the existing "#ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL" one line above it.

This patch moves the label and buys us one less warning with no
ill effects.

      [IPV6]: Fix kernel panic while send SCTP data with IP fragments · 8984e41d
      Wei Yongjun authored 
      If ICMP6 message with "Packet Too Big" is received after send SCTP DATA,
kernel panic will occur when SCTP DATA is send again.

This is because of a bad dest address when call to skb_copy_bits().

The messages sequence is like this:

Endpoint A                             Endpoint B
                               <-------  SCTP DATA (size=1432)
ICMP6 message ------->
(Packet Too Big pmtu=1280)
                               <-------  Resend SCTP DATA (size=1432)

Patch also kills the skb->sk assignment before kfree_skb

.  It was
reported to cause a regression by Daniel Exner, and Arjan van de Ven
points out that we actually already have infrastructure in place for
setting limits on acceptable DMA latency that would be the much more
correct fix for the problem with some Broadcom EHCI controllers.

Fixed up trivial conflicts due to the changes to support big-endian host
controller descriptors in drivers/usb/host/{ehci-sched.c,ehci.h}.

      dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually · 848c4dd5
      Zach Brown authored 
      This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than manually
trying to track which fields we rely on being zero.  It passed aio+dio
stress testing and some bug regression testing on ext3.

This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up to
Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:

  6a648fa7



It makes the code a bit smaller.  Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to
load, if we're lucky:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3285925  568506 1304616 5159047  4eb887 vmlinux
3285797  568506 1304616 5158919  4eb807 vmlinux.patched

I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu cycles
spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads at
~340MB/s.

So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
.map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
code.

This ensures that a bootconsole is unregistered if it is not replaced.
The current implementation spews garbage out the bootconsole in this case,
since the bootconsole structure is normally in the init section, and is
freed, but still used.
