dac07ec Jens Axboe 11 May 2006, 06:20:16 UTC [BLOCK] limit request_fn recursion Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met, when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn -> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun. Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how blk_start_queue() works. This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

f358166 Linus Torvalds 11 May 2006, 18:08:49 UTC ptrace_attach: fix possible deadlock schenario with irqs Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing. Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at triggering it ;) Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.

d8e95e5 James Cameron 10 May 2006, 20:33:29 UTC sis900: phy for FoxCon motherboard 661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset. The patch adds an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver. The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem, because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen. Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing retransmits. There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms, and it made Netrek suck. I can provide further test data. Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise 100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation. I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description field is a guess. This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2 I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.

Side effects: * one state in registration process is unnecessary. * register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug * code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.

6dd727d mdr@sgi.com 01 May 2006, 18:07:04 UTC [SCSI] mptfc: race between mptfc_register_dev and mptfc_target_alloc A race condition exists in mptfc between the thread registering a device with the fc transport and the scan work generated by the transport. This race existed prior to the application of the mptfc bug fix patch. mptfc_register_dev() calls fc_remote_port_add() with the FC_RPORT_ROLE_TARGET bit set in the rport ids passed to the function. Having this bit set causes fc_remote_port_add() to schedule a scan of the device. This scan can execute before mptfc_register_dev() can fill in the dd_data in the rport structure. When this happens, mptfc_target_alloc() will fail because dd_data is null. Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. The patch changes the rport ids passed to fc_remote_port_add() to not have the TARGET bit set. This prevents the scan from being scheduled. After mptfc_register_dev() fills in the rport dd_data field, fc_remote_port_rolechg() is called, changing the role of the rport to TARGET. Thus, the scan is scheduled after dd_data is filled in which prevents the failure in mptfc_target_alloc().

Even if dev_alloc_skb() fails to return an skb to us we'll happily go on and assume it did, so we risk dereferencing a NULL pointer.

a3285aa Roland Dreier 09 May 2006, 17:50:29 UTC IB/mthca: Fix race in reference counting Fix races in in destroying various objects. If a destroy routine waits for an object to become free by doing wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount)); /* now clean up and destroy the object */ and another place drops a reference to the object by doing if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount)) wake_up(&obj->wait); then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the wake_up(). And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be called on part of the already-freed object. Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old integers protected by a spinlock. This makes it possible to do the decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue. While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it. So there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.

The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region. EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable. If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

8b1ffe9 Corey Minyard 08 May 2006, 13:17:25 UTC [PATCH] x86_64: add nmi_exit to die_nmi Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't do what I expected. It always panic-ed, even when it didn't happen from interrupt context. This patch solves that problem for me. Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called with interrupts disabled, I believe. Would it be wise to also call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()? [Yes I added it -AK] Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt when do_exit() is called from die_nmi(). If we add nmi_exit() to the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally") it seems to solve this problem. The following small program can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this: main () { iopl(3); for (;;) asm("cli"); } Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 08 May 2006, 16:34:56 UTC

The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

134af34 Herbert Xu 06 May 2006, 00:09:13 UTC [DCCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lock Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in dccp_close can lead to dead locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the tx skb in process context with BH enabled. We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock. The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else. By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its state cannot change. So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock. If the socket state has transitioned to DCCP_CLOSED in the time being, we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is still ours to keep. This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

672e7cc Vladislav Yasevich 06 May 2006, 00:03:49 UTC [SCTP]: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA. There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message. The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message. When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely. Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link things using frag_list.

7c3ceb4 Neil Horman 06 May 2006, 00:02:09 UTC [SCTP]: Allow spillover of receive buffer to avoid deadlock. This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing temporary spillover of the receive buffer. - If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn, accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with higher TSNs. - Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks even if we run out of receive buffer space.

b7d7ef8 George G. Davis 05 May 2006, 21:32:23 UTC [ARM] 3499/1: Fix VFP FPSCR corruption for double exception case Patch from George G. Davis The ARM VFP FPSCR register is corrupted when a condition flags modifying VFP instruction is followed by a non-condition flags modifying VFP instruction and both instructions raise exceptions. The fix is to read the current FPSCR in between emulation of these two instructions and use the current FPSCR value when handling the second exception. Signed-off-by: George G.

869aaab Michael Buesch 05 May 2006, 15:23:51 UTC [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix array overrun in bcm43xx_geo_init The problem here is that the bcm34xx driver and the ieee80211 stack do not agree on what channels are possible for 802.11a. The ieee80211 stack only wants channels between 34 and 165, while the bcm43xx driver accepts anything from 0 to 200. I made the bcm43xx driver comply with the ieee80211 stack expectations, by using the proper constants.
