96d32215d4 [SCSI] ESP: Revert ESP_BUS_TIMEOUT back down to 250
This reverts d73f5222a618a91452d41c29f5996ce3d9c63673

The bug that made us increase ESP_BUS_TIMEOUT to 275 turned out to be
a memset bug on 32-bit sparc.

It is better to put this back at the correct timeout value than to
leave it increased when there is no reason for doing so.

This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3).

The major changes are:

- add dout_resid field
- increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP
- add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count

dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not

b8ed601cef [TCP]: Bidir flow must not disregard SACK blocks for lost marking
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST
markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack
false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get
a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast
recovery (is_dupack would be false there too).

I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability
of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case
is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like
'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done
in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to
the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless,
I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-)

fcc5a03ac4 [NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to fail
This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event
handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME.  It also adds
the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the
errno value up to the notifier caller.

If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes
that operation to fail.  A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to
all event handlers.

Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored
and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent.

As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to
these events.

When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are
sent for all devices currently registered.  Should any of them
fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events to that handler for the devices which have already been
registered with it.  The handler registration itself will fail.

6dc0c2082b [BLUETOOTH]: Fix endianness bug in l2cap_sock_listen()
We loop through psm values, calling __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr(psm, ...)
until we get NULL; then we set ->psm of our socket to htobs(psm).
IOW, we find unused psm value and put it into our socket.  So far, so
good, but...  __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr() compares its argument with
->psm of sockets.  IOW, the entire thing works correctly only on
little-endian.  On big-endian we'll get "no socket with such psm"
on the first iteration, since we won't find a socket with ->psm == 0x1001.
We will happily conclude that 0x1001 is unused and slap htobs(0x1001)
(i.e. 0x110) into ->psm of our socket.  Of course, the next time around
the same thing will repeat and we'll just get a fsckload of sockets
with the same ->psm assigned.

Fix: pass htobs(psm) to __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr() there.  All other
callers are already passing little-endian values and all places that
store something in ->psm are storing little-endian.

113bbbd8d2 [TCP]: htcp - use measured rtt
Change HTCP to use measured RTT rather than smooth RTT.
Srtt is computed using the TCP receive timestamp
options, so it is vulnerable to hostile receivers. To avoid any problems
this might cause use the measured RTT instead.

e7d0c88586 [TCP]: cubic - eliminate use of receive time stamp
Remove use of received timestamp option value from RTT calculation in Cubic.
A hostile receiver may be returning a larger timestamp option than the original
value. This would cause the sender to believe the malevolent receiver had
a larger RTT and because Cubic tries to provide some RTT friendliness, the
sender would then favor the liar.

Instead, use the jiffie resolutionRTT value already computed and
passed back after ack.

30cfd0baf0 [TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microseconds
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:

  * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
    (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
    all compute a RTT in microseconds.

  * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.

To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.

da4e9fea85 [SPARC]: Fix exec failures on sun4c.
This deals with a sun4c issue caused by commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba:
mm: variable length argument support.

The new way the code works means that sun4c_update_mmu_cache gets
called before a context has been selected, which results in invalid
operation of the underling mm code.

Simply ignoring update requests when there is no valid context solves
the problem.
