d8196a9 Jonathan Woithe 29 August 2008, 01:36:21 UTC fujitsu-laptop: fix regression for P8010 in 2.6.27-rc The following patch (based on a patch from Stephen Gildea) fixes a regression with the LCD brightness keys on Fujitsu P8010 laptops which was observed with the 2.6.27-rc series (basically they stopped working due to changes within the fujitsu-laptop and video modules). Please apply to 2.6.27-rc and acpi git. A more complete solution for this laptop will be included in an upcoming patch, hopefully for 2.6.28. In the meantime this restores most functionality for P8010 users.

5f17cfc Linus Torvalds 04 September 2008, 08:33:59 UTC PCI: fix pbus_size_mem() resource alignment for CardBus controllers Commit 884525655d07fdee9245716b998ecdc45cdd8007 ("PCI: clean up resource alignment management") changed the resource handling to mark how a resource was aligned on a per-resource basis. Thus, instead of looking at the resource number to determine whether it was a bridge resource or a regular resource (they have different alignment rules), we should just ask the resource for its alignment directly. The reason this broke only cardbus resources was that for the other types of resources, the old way of deciding alignment actually still happened to work. But CardBus bridge resources had been changed by commit 934b7024f0ed29003c95cef447d92737ab86dc4f ("Fix cardbus resource allocation") to look more like regular resources than PCI bridge resources from an alignment handling standpoint.

de014d6 Alok N Kataria 04 September 2008, 01:18:01 UTC x86: Change warning message in TSC calibration. When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading. In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization overheads.

437cf2f Eilon Greenstein 03 September 2008, 21:38:00 UTC bnx2x: Accessing un-mapped page The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64 bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to 64 bytes.

GFP_DMA allows allocation only for memory under 16M which causes allocation problems suspend/resume flows. Using kmalloc is temporal solution and some consistent/coherent allocation schema will be more correct.

HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear mapping ends up being executable. This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

fbb16e2 Thomas Gleixner 02 September 2008, 22:54:47 UTC [x86] Fix TSC calibration issues Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held.

The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this function is called from idle. CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings. Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue. Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic type.

bb8fb4e Mike Christie 02 September 2008, 21:36:07 UTC ibft: fix target info parsing in ibft module I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and patch creator. I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to upstream kernels. Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer: The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code. Due to this error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target. Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at the end. eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell". It did not surface when the iqn's had a longer section at the end. eg: "iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz" So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e. the size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted twice. This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

b954185 KOSAKI Motohiro 02 September 2008, 21:35:58 UTC mm: size of quicklists shouldn't be proportional to the number of CPUs Quicklists store pages for each CPU as caches. (Each CPU can cache node_free_pages/16 pages) It is used for page table cache. exit() will increase the cache size, while fork() consumes it. So for example if an apache-style application runs (one parent and many child model), one CPU process will fork() while another CPU will process the middleware work and exit(). At that time, the CPU on which the parent runs doesn't have page table cache at all. Others (on which children runs) have maximum caches. QList_max = (#ofCPUs - 1) x Free / 16 => QList_max / (Free + QList_max) = (#ofCPUs - 1) / (16 + #ofCPUs - 1) So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case? This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist cache doesn't see the number of cpus. Above calculation mean Number of CPUs per node 2 4 8 16 ============================== ==================== QList_max / (Free + QList_max) 5.8% 16% 30% 48% Wow!

This is not memory leak but doesn't seem good. % cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 7701568 kB MemFree: 4724672 kB (snip) Quicklists: 844800 kB because - My machine spec is number of numa node: 2 number of cpus: 8 (4CPU x2 node) total mem: 8GB (4GB x2 node) free mem: about 5GB - Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB. So, Quicklist can use 800MB. So, if following spec machine run that program CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node) Mem: 1TB (128GB x8node) Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%). It is too large. So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus. My patch changes the number of caches from: per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 to per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

This bug has been around for a LONG time. The MM warning is from late 2005, but the driver merged a year later ... so I'm puzzled why nobody noticed this before now. The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's just used for normal DMA writes. So replace it with standard kmalloc() buffering and DMA mapping calls. This is the quickie fix. A better one would not rely on allocating large bounce buffers. (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but that case was ignored... kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

363f66f Will Newton 02 September 2008, 21:35:44 UTC 8250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctly Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250: tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular UART IP it is fatal. This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can check this bit even if the test for the bug fails. David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ... and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable."

6ccfa80 Hisashi Hifumi 02 September 2008, 21:35:40 UTC VFS: fix dio write returning EIO when try_to_release_page fails Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is still referenced. The patch commit 3f31fddfa26b7594b44ff2b34f9a04ba409e0f91 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough to fix the race. I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still sometimes got EIO through this test. The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage. : background_writeout() ->write_cache_pages() ->ext3_ordered_writepage() walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page : <- end_page_writeback : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails) walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of try_to_release_page. To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

2b58b20 Jouni Malinen 28 August 2008, 12:12:06 UTC mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruption debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.
