0db1d6fc1e [NETPOLL]: add retry timeout
Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb

Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter.
On every successful send, we reset the counter. 

We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of
1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed
attempts will try only once until reset by success.

a636e13579 [NETPOLL]: deadlock bugfix
This fixes an obvious deadlock in the netpoll code.  netpoll_rx takes the
npinfo->rx_lock.  netpoll_rx is also the only caller of arp_reply (through
__netpoll_rx).  As such, it is not necessary to take this lock.

b5da623ae9 [TCP]: Adjust {p,f}ackets_out correctly in tcp_retransmit_skb()
Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion
failure in tcp_mark_head_lost.  First of all, this can only
occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here.
If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems.

So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering.  Normally
fackets_out is less than packets_out.  The only reason
I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out
is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a
TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored
in the TSO skb.  This might occur as the result of an expiring
dst entry.

In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in
tcp_output.c).  However, fackets_out is unchanged which means
that it may in fact exceed packets_out.

Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where
packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing
fackets_out.

So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate
amount here as well.

d64d387372 [NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat
From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>

sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!

This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure.  Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.

I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:

http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c

Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

[ I fixed that. -DaveM ]

3077a260e9 [PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix
Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.

For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly
frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock
can be seen every few days.  If you are not using the cpuset
notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock.

The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  drop cpuset_sem

Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and
allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values
changed in the interim.  This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain
cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task.

To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding
cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper
call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem.

So the new logic is:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    stash path in kmalloc'd buffer
  drop cpuset_sem
  call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  free path

The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any
calls to kmalloc.  The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was
already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path.  In the old code, it
just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call
that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper().  In the new code, with the
application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char
**ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(),
which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped.  Whereas the old code has just
one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release()
routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the
various places that a cpuset can be released.

This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that
previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.
