a527f2d Carlos Corbacho 24 February 2008, 13:34:34 UTC ACPI: WMI: Clean up handling of spec violating data blocks Acer violate the ACPI-WMI spec by declaring some of their data blocks as expensive, but with no corresponding WCxx method. There is already some workaround code in to handle the initial WCxx call (we just ignore a failure here); but we need to properly check if the second, "clean up", WCxx call is actually needed or not, rather than fail simply because it isn't there.

f5dbb55 Ingo Molnar 10 March 2008, 17:04:34 UTC fix BIOS PCI config cycle buglet causing ACPI boot regression I figured out another ACPI related regression today. randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine (32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available]. v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions interacted), it honed in on this commit: | 10270d4838bdc493781f5a1cf2e90e9c34c9142f is first bad commit | | Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> | Date: Wed Feb 13 09:56:14 2008 -0800 | | acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read() reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel. But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it break the bootup? After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out: - pci_id->bus = tu8; + pci_id->bus = val; pci_id->bus is defined as u16: struct acpi_pci_id { u16 segment; u16 bus; ... and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() (raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits. But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the rest of ACPI. So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()): switch (len) { case 1: __asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t" "jc 1f\n\t" "xor %%ah, %%ah\n" "1:" : "=c" (*value), "=a" (result) : "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE), "b" (bx), "D" ((long)reg), "S" (&pci_indirect)); Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into *value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero, we'll return a value with more set in it than intended. The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does: switch (len) { case 1: *value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3)); which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends it. So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit accesses were buggy.

21bbb39 Paul E. McKenney 10 March 2008, 18:43:57 UTC rcu: move PREEMPT_RCU config option back under PREEMPT The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed. This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans, only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other (CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for suggesting this approach.

e24e2e6 Alexey Dobriyan 10 March 2008, 18:43:53 UTC modules: warn about suspicious return values from module's ->init() hook Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes, e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created, where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was successfully loaded. Or it could be some other bug. Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions. Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample message: sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

2668db9 Adam Litke 10 March 2008, 18:43:50 UTC hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a page will be handed to the caller with a correct count. This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when the page count is validated. Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

69682d8 Lee Schermerhorn 10 March 2008, 18:43:45 UTC mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method. I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once I repost it. 1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being noticed. Fix: add the conditional release of the reference. 2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out. Fix: add the necessary check to the release. 3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()' methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy. This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations. Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

Ergo this patch: - Handle a should-be-rare SMP race between the watchdog firing and (very late) IAA interrupts; - Remove a shouldn't-have-been-added WARN_ON() test; - Guard against one observed OOPS; - If this watchdog fires during clean HC shutdown, it should act as a NOP instead of interfering with the shutdown sequence; - Guard against silicon errata hypothesized by some vendors: * IAA status latch broken, but IAAD cleared OK; * IAAD wasn't cleared when IAA status got reported; The WARN_ON is in bugzilla as 10168; the OOPS as 10078; these are both regressions.

b91aac2 Jesper Juhl 08 March 2008, 01:16:07 UTC PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'. Then lots of stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot. A bit further down there's then this test : if (!bus_info_ptr1) { rc = -ENODEV; goto error; } At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:' since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.

Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest bug, and indeed it wasn't. The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables for each Guest). Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug. The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> 10 March 2008, 22:35:58 UTC

Yes, we don't wait for the dlm_purge_lockres() to do that matching put. Note the ref added for it being in the hash protects the lockres from being freed prematurely. This patch adds that missing put, as described above, to plug a memleak.

2c5c54a Sunil Mushran 01 March 2008, 22:04:20 UTC ocfs2/dlm: Add missing dlm_lock_put()s Normally locks for remote nodes are freed when that node sends an UNLOCK message to the master. The master node tags an DLM_UNLOCK_FREE_LOCK action to do an extra put on the lock at the end. However, there are times when the master node has to free the locks for the remote nodes forcibly. Two cases when this happens are: 1. When the master has migrated the lockres plus all locks to another node. 2. When the master is clearing all the locks of a dead node. It was in the above two conditions that the dlm was missing the extra put.

0f71b7b Joel Becker 12 February 2008, 22:56:25 UTC ocfs2: Fix endian bug in o2dlm protocol negotiation. struct dlm_query_join_packet is made up of four one-byte fields. They are effectively in big-endian order already. However, little-endian machines swap them before putting the packet on the wire (because query_join's response is a status, and that status is treated as a u32 on the wire). Thus, a big-endian and little-endian machines will treat this structure differently. The solution is to have little-endian machines swap the structure when converting from the structure to the u32 representation.

This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning. The right way to fix the original problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE, which is already too late. This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and others.

10a398d Roman Zippel 04 March 2008, 23:14:26 UTC time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was recently merged as bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource, causing error. The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit). This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST. This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for. For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the "ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.
