2008-06-04sctp: Fix ECN markings for IPv6Vlad Yasevich
Commit e9df2e8fd8fbc95c57dbd1d33dada66c4627b44c ("[IPV6]: Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup.") also changed the way that ECN capable transports mark this capability in IPv6. As a result, SCTP was not marking ECN capablity because the traffic class was never set. This patch brings back the markings for IPv6 traffic.

2008-06-04sctp: Flush the queue only once during fast retransmit.Vlad Yasevich
When fast retransmit is triggered by a sack, we should flush the queue only once so that only 1 retransmit happens. Also, since we could potentially have non-fast-rtx chunks on the retransmit queue, we need make sure any chunks eligable for fast retransmit are sent first during fast retransmission.

2008-06-04tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync conditionIlpo Järvinen
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases. In order for this to cause corruption: 1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated. 2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that in cache in the first place. 3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be updated on this iteration. ...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out by tcp_sacktag_one. It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK. Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)). Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero and reordering metric on RTO). This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have tried to help here. This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go through it just once there. Going through twice would have required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above, I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

2008-06-04tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))Ilpo Järvinen
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions can easily cause this situation to occur. I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it likely involves some code shuffling). This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out miscount).

2008-06-04x86, fpu: fix CONFIG_PREEMPT=y corruption of application's FPU stackSuresh Siddha
Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

2008-06-04x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem errorVenki Pallipadi
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.
