c083234 nilfs2: fix missing cleanup of gc cache on error cases This fixes an -rc1 regression brought by the commit: 1cf58fa840472ec7df6bf2312885949ebb308853 ("nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3"). Although the patch moved out a function call of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() to nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments() from nilfs_ioctl_prepare_clean_segments(), it didn't move corresponding cleanup job needed for the error case. This will move the missing cleanup job to the destination function. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Acked-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> 08 November 2009, 10:04:25 UTC
5399dd1 nilfs2: fix kernel oops in error case of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks This fixes a kernel oops reported by Markus Trippelsdorf in the email titled "[NILFS users] kernel Oops while running nilfs_cleanerd". The oops was caused by a bug of error path in nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() function, which was inlined in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments(). nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks checks duplication of blocks which will be moved in garbage collection. But, the check should have be done within nilfs_ioctl_move_inode_block() to prevent list corruption among buffers storing the target blocks. To fix the kernel oops, this moves forward the duplication check before the list insertion. I also tested this for stable trees [2.6.30, 2.6.31].

53a0ef8 can: fix WARN_ON dump in net/core/rtnetlink.c:rtmsg_ifinfo() On older kernels, e.g. 2.6.27, a WARN_ON dump in rtmsg_ifinfo() is thrown when the CAN device is registered due to insufficient skb space, as reported by various users. This patch adds the rtnl_link_ops "get_size" to fix the problem. I think this patch is required for more recent kernels as well, even if no WARN_ON dumps are triggered.

1a69697 ALSA: hda - Don't initialize CORB/RIRB for single_cmd mode So far, CORB/RIRB still remains even if the driver is switched to the single_cmd mode. The specification says that this should be disabled, but I hoped this isn't the case; indeed most devices worked together with CORB/RIRB. However, Poulsbo (US15W) seems problematic with this setup, and it requires to disable CORB/RIRB when single_cmd is used. Now this patch disables CORB/RIRB initialization when the single_cmd mode is used. Also the unsolicited event is disabled because it can't work without RIRB.

f495088 ALSA: usb-audio: fix combine_word problem Fix combine_word problem where first octet is not read properly. The only affected place seems to be the INPUT_TERMINAL type. Before now, sound controls can be created with the output terminal's name which is a fallback mechanism used only for unknown input terminal types. For example, Line can wrongly appear as Speaker. After the change it should appear as Line. The side effect of this change can be that users can expect the wrong control name in their scripts or programs while now we return the correct one. Probably, these defines should use get_unaligned_le16 and friends.

23ca0c9 ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the tunnel. Our implementation does exactly that. For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set. As otherwise the original host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since part of the path is only visible to the gateway. Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery. This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set. This is not correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur. For hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple ping. This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

f475f67 cifs: don't use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber in is_path_accessible Because it's lighter weight, CIFS tries to use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber to verify the accessibility of the root inode and then falls back to doing a full QPathInfo if that fails with -EOPNOTSUPP. I have at least a report of a server that returns NT_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR rather than something that translates to EOPNOTSUPP. Rather than trying to be clever with that call, just have is_path_accessible do a normal QPathInfo. That call is widely supported and it shouldn't increase the overhead significantly.

ec06aed cifs: clean up handling when server doesn't consistently support inode numbers It's possible that a server will return a valid FileID when we query the FILE_INTERNAL_INFO for the root inode, but then zeroed out inode numbers when we do a FindFile with an infolevel of SMB_FIND_FILE_ID_FULL_DIR_INFO. In this situation turn off querying for server inode numbers, generate a warning for the user and just generate an inode number using iunique. Once we generate any inode number with iunique we can no longer use any server inode numbers or we risk collisions, so ensure that we don't do that in cifs_get_inode_info either.

4d187fb ASoC: OMAP: Don't try to set unsupported OMAP_DMA_DATA_BURST_16 on OMAP1 After DMA burst mode has been introduced in sound/soc/omap/omap-pcm.c, omap_pcm_prepare() unconditionally calls: omap_set_dma_src_burst_mode(prtd->dma_ch, OMAP_DMA_DATA_BURST_16); omap_set_dma_dest_burst_mode(prtd->dma_ch, OMAP_DMA_DATA_BURST_16); Current implementation of those two functions found in arch/arm/plat-ompa/dma.c doesn't support OMAP_DMA_DATA_BURST_16 on OMAP1 at all, so they both end with BUG() on that machine. That results in ASoC being completely unusable, at least on my OMAP5910 based Amstrad Delta. The patch corrects the problem by not calling those two functions when run on OMAP1 class based machines.

0fb18c4 Revert "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible" This reverts commit 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e. Ok, we really do need to revert this, even with Bart's sis5513.c fix in there. The problem is that several driver's ->set_pio_mode() method depends upon the drive->media type being set properly. Most of them use this to enable prefetching, which can only be done for disk media. But the commit being reverted here calls ->set_pio_mode() before it's setup. Actually it considers everything disk because that is the default media type set by ide_port_init_devices_data(). The set of drivers that depend upon the media type in their ->set_pio_method() are: drivers/ide/alim15x3.c drivers/ide/it8172.c drivers/ide/it8213.c drivers/ide/pdc202xx_old.c drivers/ide/piix.c drivers/ide/qd65xx.c drivers/ide/sis5513.c drivers/ide/slc90e66.c And it is possible that we could fix this by guarding the prefetching and other media dependent setting changes with a test on IDE_PFLAG_PROBING in hwif->port_flags, that's simply too risky for 2.6.32-rcX and -stable.

f9dd09c netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+ Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e361e864f0e9d75ebe2a0cb43d17c4272). However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack: when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter (td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP. The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

8dee721 md/raid5: make sure curr_sync_completes is uptodate when reshape starts This value is visible through sysfs and is used by mdadm when it manages a reshape (backing up data that is about to be rearranged). So it is important that it is always correct. Current it does not get updated properly when a reshape starts which can cause problems when assembling an array that is in the middle of being reshaped.

24395a8 md: don't clear endpoint for resync when resync is interrupted. If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that point. So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure), leave 'resync_max' unchanged. This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not change the size of the array. For such operations mdadm needs to monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being reshaped. If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless. This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

2c75910 x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend. The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended.

8435b02 powerpc/pci: Fix regression in powerpc MSI-X Patch f598282f5145036312d90875d0ed5c14b49fd8a7 exposed a problem in powerpc MSI-X functionality, making network interfaces such as ixgbe and cxgb3 stop to work when MSI-X is enabled. RX interrupts were not being generated. The problem was caused because MSI irq was not being effectively unmasked after device initialization.

37b12dd rtl8187: Fix kernel oops when device is removed when LEDS enabled As reported by Rick Farina (sidhayn@gmail.com), removing the RTL8187 USB stick, or unloading the driver rtl8187 using rmmod will cause a kernel oops. There are at least two forms of the failure, (1) BUG: Scheduling while atomic, and (2) a fatal kernel page fault. This problem is reported in Bugzilla #14539. This problem does not occur for kernel 2.6.31, but does for 2.6.32-rc2, thus it is technically a regression; however, bisection did not locate any faulty patch. The fix was found by comparing the faulty code in rtl8187 with p54usb. My interpretation is that the handling of work queues in mac80211 changed enough to the LEDs to be unregistered before tasks on the work queues are cancelled. Previously, these actions could be done in either order. (Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> reports that the code is the same in 2.6.31, so this may be a candidate for 2.6.31.x. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Reported-by: Rick Farina <sidhayn@gmail.com> Tested-by: Rick Farina <sidhayn@gmail.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

4c3da22 sysfs: Don't leak secdata when a sysfs_dirent is freed. While refreshing my sysfs patches I noticed a leak in the secdata implementation. We don't free the secdata when we free the sysfs dirent. This is a bug in 2.6.32-rc5 that we really should close. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
