It's because in ip6_frags_ns_sysctl_register,
"table" only alloced when "net" is not equals
to "init_net".So when we free "table" in
ip6_frags_ns_sysctl_unregister,we should check
this first.
This patch fix the problem.

Alan Stern noticed that e100 caused slab corruption.
commit 98468efddb101f8a29af974101c17ba513b07be1 changed
the allocation of cbs to use dma pools that don't return zeroed memory,
especially the cb->status field used to track which cb to clean, causing
(the visible) double freeing of skbs and a wrong free cbs count.
Now the cbs are explicitly zeroed at allocation time.

Channel path vary is currently broken: channel paths which are varied
offline are still used by Linux. The reason for this is that:
* the path mask indicating which paths of an I/O device can be used
is reset by each internal I/O request
* the logic that checks if a path group is already in its designated
target state incorrectly interprets the result "is correctly set"
as "is correctly set and available"
Fix this by resetting the path mask only for internal I/O requests
which affect the path mask and by correcting the pgid check logic.

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86
selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS
[...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
- HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:
In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31:
include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr':
include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr'

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

On machines using the Apple U4 bridge (AKA IBM CPC945) PCIe interface such
as the latest generation G5 machines x16 slot or the x16 slot of the
PowerStation, MSIs are currently broken (and will oops when enabling).
This fixes the oops and implements proper support for those. Instead of
using the PCIe <-> HT bridge conversion, on such slots we need to use
a bunch of magic registers in the bridge as the MSI target, encoding
the interrupt number in the low bits of the address itself

If an online-attempt on a CPU which has been offlined using H_CEDE
with an appropriate cede latency hint fails, don't panic.
Instead print the error message and let the __cpu_up() code notify the
CPU Hotplug framework of the failure, which in turn can notify the
other subsystem through CPU_UP_CANCELED.

Set need to call __set_pte_at() and not set_pte_at() from __change_page_attr()
since the later will perform checks with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that aren't suitable
to the way we override an existing PTE. (More specifically, it doesn't let
you write over a present PTE).

Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value.
Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100:
- Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are
applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps).
- Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our
way through the timer code one tick at a time. If we have been idle a long
time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that
loop.
Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce
HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming
out of idle.
