Bernard Pidoux reported these lockdep warnings:
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.23.1 #1
---------------------------------------------------------
fpac/4933 just changed the state of lock:
(slock-AF_AX25){--..}, at: [<d8be3312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf
[ax25]
but this lock was taken by another, soft-irq-safe lock in the past:
(ax25_list_lock){-+..}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
[...]
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.23.1 #1
---------------------------------
inconsistent {in-softirq-W} -> {softirq-on-W} usage.
ax25_call/4005 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
(slock-AF_AX25){-+..}, at: [<d8b79312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf [ax25]
[...]
This means slock-AF_AX25 could be taken both from softirq and process
context with softirqs enabled, so it's endangered itself, but also makes
ax25_list_lock vulnerable. It was not 100% verified if the real lockup
can happen, but this fix isn't very costly and looks safe anyway.
(It was tested by Bernard with 2.6.23.9 and 2.6.24-rc5 kernels.)

When copying entries to user, the kernel makes two passes through the
data, first copying all the entries, then fixing up names and counters.
On the second pass it copies the kernel and match data from userspace
to the kernel again to find the corresponding structures, expecting
that kernel pointers contained in the data are still valid.
This is obviously broken, fix by avoiding the second pass completely
and fixing names and counters while dumping the ruleset, using the
kernel-internal data structures.

The vlan module cleanup function starts with
vlan_netlink_fini();
vlan_ioctl_set(NULL);
The first call removes all the vlan devices and
the second one closes the vlan ioctl.
AFAIS there's a tiny race window between these two
calls - after rtnl unregistered all the vlans, but
the ioctl handler isn't set to NULL yet, user can
manage to call this ioctl and create one vlan device,
and that this function will later BUG_ON seeing
non-emply hashes.
I think, that we must first close the vlan ioctl
and only after this remove all the vlans with the
vlan_netlink_fini() call.

Though there's little need for everything that tcp_may_send_now
does (actually, even the state had to be adjusted to pass some
checks FRTO does not want to occur), it's more robust to let it
make the decision if sending is allowed. State adjustments
needed:
- Make sure snd_cwnd limit is not hit in there
- Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2
The result of check for frto_counter in argument to call for
tcp_enter_frto_loss can just be open coded, therefore there
isn't need to store the previous frto_counter past
tcp_may_send_now.
In addition, returns can then be combined.

I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better
solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.
Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).
