aef8811abb [XFRM]: Fix oops in xfrm4_dst_destroy()
With 2.6.21-rc1, I get an oops when running 'ifdown eth0' and an IPsec
connection is active. If I shut down the connection before running 'ifdown
eth0', then there's no problem.  The critical operation of this script is to
kill dhcpd.

The problem is probably caused by commit with git identifier
4337226228 (Linus tree) "[IPSEC]: IPv4 over IPv6
IPsec tunnel".

This patch fixes that oops. I don't know the network code of the Linux
kernel in deep, so if that fix is wrong, please change it. But please
fix the oops. :)

fadcdb4516 Reassign printk levels in selinux kernel code
Below is a patch which demotes many printk lines to KERN_DEBUG from
KERN_INFO.  It should help stop the spamming of logs with messages in
which users are not interested nor is there any action that users should
take.  It also promotes some KERN_INFO to KERN_ERR such as when there
are improper attempts to register/unregister security modules.

A similar patch was discussed a while back on list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=116656343500003&r=1&w=2
This patch addresses almost all of the issues raised.  I believe the
only advice not taken was in the demoting of messages related to
undefined permissions and classes.

8c4a2d41a7 [SCTP]: Fix connection hang/slowdown with PR-SCTP
The problem that this patch corrects happens when all of the following
conditions are satisfisfied:
 1.  PR-SCTP is used and the timeout on the chunks is set below RTO.Max.
 2.  One of the paths on a multihomed associations is brought down.

In this scenario, data will expire within the rto of the initial
transmission and will never be retransmitted.  However this data still
fills the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding
data.  This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not
happen.

The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and
peers rwnd estimation.  This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission
timer restarted.  Even though this new data will most likely expire within
the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces
the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.

7f62ad5d37 [TG3]: TSO workaround fixes.
1.  Add race condition check after netif_stop_queue().  tg3_tx() runs
    without netif_tx_lock and can race with tg3_start_xmit_dma_bug() ->
    tg3_tso_bug().

2.  Firmware TSO in 5703/5704/5705 also have the same TSO limitation,
    i.e. they cannot handle TSO headers bigger than 80 bytes.  Rename
    TG3_FL2_HW_TSO_1_BUG to TG3_FL2_TSO_BUG and set this flag on
    these chips as well.

3.  Update version to 3.74.

2a786b452e [PATCH] genirq: Mask irqs when migrating them.
move_native_irqs tries to do the right thing when migrating irqs
by disabling them.  However disabling them is a software logical
thing, not a hardware thing.  This has always been a little flaky
and after Ingo's latest round of changes it is guaranteed to not
mask the apic.

So this patch fixes move_native_irq to directly call the mask and
unmask chip methods to guarantee that we mask the irq when we
are migrating it.  We must do this as it is required by
all code that call into the path.

Since we don't know the masked status when IRQ_DISABLED is
set so we will not be able to restore it.   The patch makes the code
just give up and trying again the next time this routing is called.

610142927b [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Safely cleanup an irq after moving it.
The problem:  After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?

With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes.  This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path.  For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic.  For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.

So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.

Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.
