netfilter: restore lost ifdef guarding defrag exception
netfilter: restore lost #ifdef guarding defrag exception
Upstream commit 38f7ac3eb:
Nir Tzachar <email address hidden> reported a warning when sending
fragments over loopback with NAT:
[ 6658.338121] WARNING: at net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_standalone.c:89 nf_nat_fn+0x33/0x155()
The reason is that defragmentation is skipped for already tracked connections.
This is wrong in combination with NAT and ip_conntrack actually had some ifdefs
to avoid this behaviour when NAT is compiled in.
The entire "optimization" may seem a bit silly, for now simply restoring the
lost #ifdef is the easiest solution until we can come up with something better.
I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits.
In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are
doing. For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has
a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve
(plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized).
Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and
inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double
precision divide:
The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp.
Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with
the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit
405849610fd96b4f34cd1875c4c033228fea6c0f):
[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
...
Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.
Here is the distilled glibc test case from Jakub Jelinek which prompted that
commit:
Make arch/sparc64/kernel/trampoline.S in 2.6.27.1 lock prom_entry_lock
when calling the PROM. This prevents a race condition that I observed
causing a hang on startup on a 12-CPU E4500.

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.

In some BIOSes, every _STA method call will send a notification again,
this cause freeze. And in some BIOSes, it appears _STA should be called
after _DCK. This tries to avoid calls _STA, and still keep the device
present check.
