Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error
unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d
It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.
The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.
There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.
This is exactly what the following patch does.

When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
called early which can send an ack. Further along in
tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:
When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.
The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.
Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by the string based mounts.
nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned
by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is
an non-fatal error to the mount.nfs command. This error causes
mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported
directory does not exist.
This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into
valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based
mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs
to do the right thing.

Despite the fact that cloned rpc clients won't have the cl_autobind flag
set, they may still find themselves calling rpcb_getport_async(). For this
to happen, it suffices for a _parent_ rpc_clnt to use autobinding, in which
case any clone may find itself triggering the !xprt_bound() case in
call_bind().
The correct fix for this is to walk back up the tree of cloned rpc clients,
in order to find the parent that 'owns' the transport, either because it
has clnt->cl_autobind set, or because it originally created the
transport...

The sc_name field is currently 56 bytes long. This is not large enough
to hold a pair of IPv6 addresses, the authentication type, the protocol
name, and a uniquifier number. The maximum possible size of the name
string using IPv6 addresses is just under 110 bytes, so I increased the
size of the sc_name field to accomodate this maximum.
In addition, the strings in the nfs4_setclientid structure are
constructed with scnprintf(), which wants to terminate its output with
'\0'. The sc_netid field was large enough only for a three byte netid
string and a '\0' so inet6 netids were being truncated. Perhaps we
don't need the overhead of scnprintf() to do a simple string copy, but
I fixed this by increasing the size of the buffer by one byte.
Since all three of the string buffers in nfs4_setclientid are
constructed with scnprintf(), I increased the size of all three by one
byte to document the requirement, although I don't think either the
universal address field or the name field will be so small that these
strings get truncated in this way.
The size of the Linux client's client ID on the wire will be larger
than before. RFC 3530 suggests the size limit for client IDs is 1024,
and we are still well below that.

Allow mount to do authenticated mounts below the root of the exported tree.
The wording in RFC 2623, sec 2.3.2. allows fsinfo with UNIX authentication
on the root of the export. Mounts are not always done on the root
of the exported tree. Especially autoumounts often mount below the root of
the exported tree.
Some server implementations (justly) require full authentication for the
so-called deep mounts. The old code used AUTH_SYS only. This caused deep
mounts to fail on systems requiring stronger authentication..
The client should try both authentication types and use the first one that
succeeds.
This method was already partially implemented. This patch completes
the implementation for NFS2 and NFS3.
This patch was developed to allow Debian systems to automount home directories
on Solaris servers with krb5 authentication.

Bonus: those funny people who use urg with >= 2^31 write_seq -
snd_una could now rejoice too (that's the only purpose for the
between being there, otherwise a simple compare would have done
the thing). Not that I assume that the rest of the tcp code
happily lives with such mind-boggling numbers :-). Alas, it
turned out to be impossible to set wmem to such numbers anyway,
yes I really tried a big sendfile after setting some wmem but
nothing happened :-). ...Tcp_wmem is int and so is sk_sndbuf...

In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.
Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in
its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the
xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave'
will be consistent with the bit values in the header.
During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits
in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits
in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header
while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return,
this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the
legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers.
xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell
as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn
will capture all the changes.

Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.
This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.
