linux-2.6.5-s390-45-april2004-patches.tar.gz / MD5 ... per-problem-patches, recommended (2007-11-06)

These patches contain the following linux kernel bug fixes:

Description:
cio: Incorrect check for activity in cmf.
Symptom:
Values reported by cmf may be inconsistent.
Problem:
Incorrect check for activity in cmf_copy_block().
Solution:
Fix brackets in activity check.
Problem-ID:
39542
Description:
cio: cio_ignore off by one error.
Symptom:
After ignoring all subchannels, /proc/cio_ignore shows that 0.0.10000 is blacklisted.
Problem:
The blacklist range built goes too far by one.
Solution:
Correct generation of blacklist range.
Problem-ID:
39790
Description:
qeth: Discard inbound packets with unknown header id.
Symptom:
Kernel panic in qeth_qdio_input_handler.
Problem:
For unsettled reasons an OSA-card may transfer packets with an unknown header id. The qeth driver is aware of three types of header ids (layer3, layer2, and osn) and treats packets that are neither layer3 nor layer2 as osn packets, where an skb_push of 32 bytes is necessary.
This skb_push results in a kernel panic if applied to packets with unknown qdio header id.
Solution:
Add debug support for inbound packets with unknown header id and discard them afterwards.
Problem-ID:
39323
Description:
qeth: Recognize "exclusively used"-RC from Hydra3.
Symptom:
Specific error message missing for dedicated OSA.
Problem:
An OSA-Express2 card may be exclusively used by a non-Linux host.
Solution:
Even though Linux does not make use of exclusively used OSA-cards, qeth should be prepared to receive a bad RC for some initialization steps. A meaningful message is now given, if an OSA-device is set online, even though the OSA-adapter is already exclusively used by another host.
Problem-ID:
27787
