It would be nice to keep things working even with this built as a
module, it took me some time to realize my IPv6 tunnel was broken
because of the missing sit module. This module alias fixes things
until distributions have added an appropriate alias to modprobe.conf.

We have seen a couple of __alloc_pages() failures due to
fragmentation, there is plenty of free memory but no large order pages
available. I think the problem is in sock_alloc_send_pskb(), the
gfp_mask includes __GFP_REPEAT but its never used/passed to the page
allocator. Shouldnt the gfp_mask be passed to alloc_skb() ?

This fixes a bug reported in:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7438
tg3_close() turns off the PHY if WoL and ASF are both disabled. On
the next tg3_open(), some devices such as the 5752M will not be
brought up correctly without a PHY reset early in the reset sequence.
The PHY clock is needed for some internal MAC blocks to function
correctly.
This problem is fixed by always resetting the PHY early in
tg3_reset_hw() when it is called from tg3_open() or tg3_resume().
tg3_setup_phy() can then be called later in the sequence without the
reset_phy parameter set to 1, since the PHY reset is already done.
Update version to 3.68.

The previous commit (45c18b0bb579b5c1b89f8c99f1b6ffa4c586ba08, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.
It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.
Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.
This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one

This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:

We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user

that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.

The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through

The user.* extended attributes are only allowed on regular files and

The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more
restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved
into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended
up being denied in addition.

Fix mcs7830 patch
The recent mcs7830 update to make the MII support sharable goofed various
pre-existing configurations in two ways:
- it made the usbnet infrastructure reference MII symbols even
when they're not needed in the kernel being built
- it didn't enable MII along with the mcs7830 minidriver
This patch fixes these two problems.
However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII
gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think
I've noticed that same problem in other situations too. So the result can
mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better
than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.

As per Guennadi Liakhovetski, the mac address change support code breaks
some normal uses (_without_ any address changes), and until it's all
sorted out, we're better off without it.
Says Francois:
"Go revert it.
Despite what I claimed, I can not find a third-party confirmation by
email that it works elsewhere.
It would probably be enough to remove the call to
__rtl8169_set_mac_addr() in rtl8169_hw_start() though."

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and
should be reverted.

After the inode slimming patch that unionised i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev, it's
no longer enough to check for existance of ->i_pipe to verify that this
is a pipe.

PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE is an interesting feature, but in its current state
it seems to be more of a trap for users who accidentally enable it.
This patch lets PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE depend on BROKEN for 2.6.19.
The intention is to get this patch reversed in -mm as soon as it's in
Linus' tree, and reverse it for 2.6.20 or 2.6.21 after the fallout of
in-kernel problems PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE causes got fixed.

The user.* extended attributes are only allowed on regular files and
directories. Sticky directories further restrict write access to the owner
and privileged users. (See the attr(5) man page for an explanation.)
The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more
restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved
into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended
up being denied in addition.

Fix mcs7830 patch
The recent mcs7830 update to make the MII support sharable goofed various
pre-existing configurations in two ways:
- it made the usbnet infrastructure reference MII symbols even
when they're not needed in the kernel being built
- it didn't enable MII along with the mcs7830 minidriver
This patch fixes these two problems.
However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII
gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think
I've noticed that same problem in other situations too. So the result can
mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better
than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.

This reverts commit a2b98a697fa4e7564f78905b83db122824916cf9.
As per Guennadi Liakhovetski, the mac address change support code breaks
some normal uses (_without_ any address changes), and until it's all
sorted out, we're better off without it.
Says Francois:
"Go revert it.
Despite what I claimed, I can not find a third-party confirmation by
email that it works elsewhere.
It would probably be enough to remove the call to
__rtl8169_set_mac_addr() in rtl8169_hw_start() though."

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

The PXA2xx PCMCIA driver was registering a device_driver with the
platform_bus_type. Unfortunately, this causes data outside the
device_driver structure to be dereferenced as if it were a
platform_driver structure, causing an oops. Convert the PXA2xx
core driver to use the proper platform_driver structure.
