[PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets.

This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon
reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even
if they were received on a channel other than that which the network
exists on.

This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a
strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and
3, but at much lower signal levels.  If scanning was done sequentially,
this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal
level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could
cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

[PATCH] ipw2200: switch to the new ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format.

The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of
image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users:

1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug
are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to
load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously)

2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct
boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts.

Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your
firmware image to the 3.0 version available from:

support 802.11e QoS. We need to be able to indicate to the upper layers
that packets of a given priority can not be sent any more without halting
transmission of all packets, and without rescheduling high priority packets
down to the next priority level.

So we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY in this case and rely on the stack would
take care of rescheduling... which it apparently does immediately and
consumes the CPU. This caused the ksoftirqd kernel thread consuming almost
all the CPU...

To put the code back to the way it was before we made these changes we
put the call netif_queue_stop back in ipw_tx_skb.  This effectively
disables multiple priority based transmit queues for 802.11e, but given

[PATCH] NFS: Fix a potential panic in O_DIRECT

Based on an original patch by Mike O'Connor and Greg Banks of SGI.

Mike states:

A normal user can panic an NFS client and cause a local DoS with
'judicious'(?) use of O_DIRECT.  Any O_DIRECT write to an NFS file where the
user buffer starts with a valid mapped page and contains an unmapped page,
will crash in this way.  I haven't followed the code, but O_DIRECT reads with
similar user buffers will probably also crash albeit in different ways.

Details: when nfs_get_user_pages() calls get_user_pages(), it detects and
correctly handles get_user_pages() returning an error, which happens if the
first page covered by the user buffer's address range is unmapped.  However,
if the first page is mapped but some subsequent page isn't, get_user_pages()
will return a positive number which is less than the number of pages requested
(this behaviour is sort of analagous to a short write() call and appears to be
intentional).  nfs_get_user_pages() doesn't detect this and hands off the
array of pages (whose last few elements are random rubbish from the newly
allocated array memory) to it's caller, whence they go to
nfs_direct_write_seg(), which then totally ignores the nr_pages it's given,
and calculates its own idea of how many pages are in the array from the user
buffer length.  Needless to say, when it comes to transmit those uninitialised
page* pointers, we see a crash in the network stack.

GOTO Masanori [Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:20:44 +0000 (21:20 -0800)]
[PATCH] Fix sigaltstack corruption among cloned threads

This patch fixes alternate signal stack corruption among cloned threads
with CLONE_SIGHAND (and CLONE_VM) for linux-2.6.16-rc6.

The value of alternate signal stack is currently inherited after a call of
clone(...  CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_VM).  But if sigaltstack is set by a
parent thread, and then if multiple cloned child threads (+ parent threads)
call signal handler at the same time, some threads may be conflicted -
because they share to use the same alternative signal stack region.
Finally they get sigsegv.  It's an undesirable race condition.  Note that
child threads created from NPTL pthread_create() also hit this conflict
when the parent thread uses sigaltstack, without my patch.

To fix this problem, this patch clears the child threads' sigaltstack
information like exec().  This behavior follows the SUSv3 specification.
In SUSv3, pthread_create() says "The alternate stack shall not be inherited
(when new threads are initialized)".  It means that sigaltstack should be
cleared when sigaltstack memory space is shared by cloned threads with
CLONE_SIGHAND.

Note that I chose "if (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)" line because:
  - If clone_flags line is not existed, fork() does not inherit sigaltstack.
  - CLONE_VM is another choice, but vfork() does not inherit sigaltstack.
  - CLONE_SIGHAND implies CLONE_VM, and it looks suitable.
  - CLONE_THREAD is another candidate, and includes CLONE_SIGHAND + CLONE_VM,
    but this flag has a bit different semantics.
I decided to use CLONE_SIGHAND.

[ Changed to test for CLONE_VM && !CLONE_VFORK after discussion --Linus ]
