kernel: Fix the incorrect i_nlink count after jffs2's RENAME_EXCHANGE operations.

2017-04-05T07:57:41+00:00

The problem is caused by the incorrect handling of the parent inode's
i_nlink count for the dentry to be RENAME_EXCHANGED. There are 3 cases
to consider. Assume we want to RENAME_EXCHANGE struct dentry *a and
struct dentry *b, and inode_a is pointed to by dentry_a, inode_b is
pointed to by dentry_b:

1. If inode_a is a directory, but inode_b isn't, then we must decrease
   the i_nlink count of old_dir_i, and increase the i_nlink of new_dir_i.
2. If inode_a isn't a directory, but inode_b is a directory, then we
   must increase the i_nlink of old_dir_i, and decrease the i_nlink count
   of new_dir_i.
3. If the types of inode_a and inode_b are the same, we don't change the
   i_nlink for either old_dir_i or new_dir_i.

ar8216: flush ARL table during reset after init_globals

2017-02-22T10:57:27+00:00

commit 33b72b8e0faf7a39faabece584fd6da61cd8f8df
"ar8216: adjust ATU flushing in case of link changes"
introduced portwise flushing on link down events. Now the ARL table could
be in a chaotic state after boot where ar8xxx_sw_get_arl_table looped
forever (depending on the entries collected while booting).

Fixes FS#384.

kernel: fix crashes on MIPS when loading kernel modules under memory pressure

2017-02-15T12:23:58+00:00

When memory is tight, modules may need to be loaded into vmalloc()
space. The code then has to generate jump trampolines which enable
relocations between vmalloc space and physical address space.

The code had a bug that was freeing these trampolines even when the
module was successfully loaded.
