b964638 Dave Kleikamp 24 May 2006, 12:43:38 UTC JFS: Fix multiple errors in metapage_releasepage It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page. Instead of issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating that the private data for the page cannot be released. I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong. If it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise it needs to return 0. Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

3977026 Bryan O'Sullivan 23 May 2006, 18:32:37 UTC IB/ipath: fix null deref during rdma ops The problem was that node A's sending thread, which handles sending RDMA read response data, would write the trigger word, the last packet would be sent, node B would send a new RDMA read request, node A's interrupt handler would initialize s_rdma_sge, then node A's sending thread would update s_rdma_sge. This didn't happen very often naturally but was more frequent with 1 byte RDMA reads. Rather than adding more locking or increasing the QP structure size and copying sge data, I modified the copy routine to update the pointers before writing the trigger word to avoid the update race.

5c4c333 NeilBrown 23 May 2006, 05:35:26 UTC [PATCH] md: fix possible oops when starting a raid0 array This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems. Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur' and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop. This should ring warning bells... That last time through the loop, size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address. This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

42f1423 David S. Miller 23 May 2006, 09:07:22 UTC [SPARC64]: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent(). Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored. Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA implementation of pci_alloc_coherent(). This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these routines and (correctly) expects that to work. Signed-off-by: David S.

The caller frees both ID and random memory again. - When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating both, it frees both, and the callers frees both again. The corruption can be triggered remotely when the ip_nat_snmp_basic module is loaded and traffic on port 161 or 162 is NATed.

e984bb4 Bob Picco 20 May 2006, 22:00:31 UTC [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

0662b71 Zachary Amsden 20 May 2006, 22:00:24 UTC [PATCH] Fix a NO_IDLE_HZ timer bug Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer ticks are being processed on remote CPUs. The remote timer ticks can increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can end up with 1) No softirq pending 2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies 3) No high resolution timer active 4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value. In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows, because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies, but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the wheel (jiffies_base).

Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC() when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor(). o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC. o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()). o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed() was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in November 2005. Rewrite that comment ...

bdd804f Paul Jackson 20 May 2006, 22:00:09 UTC [PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen.

593ee20 Kristen Accardi 20 May 2006, 22:00:08 UTC [PATCH] pci: correctly allocate return buffers for osc calls The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

This primarily impacts memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new memory. Fix suggested by Dave Hansen. Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in the function's return statement: return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root); In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

df88912 Andrew Morton 20 May 2006, 22:00:01 UTC [PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

8c7b389 Peter Staubach 20 May 2006, 21:59:56 UTC [PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious value Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check" export option. The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client. The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again. In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the server for a particular user. A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

6d39bed Paul A. Clarke 20 May 2006, 21:59:51 UTC [PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have easy access to... I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32 box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals, on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch. I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as well. Signed-off-by: Paul A.

d64b1c8 Lin Feng Shen 20 May 2006, 21:59:49 UTC [PATCH] NFS: fix error handling on access_ok in compat_sys_nfsservctl Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans, compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans, which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to compat_sys_nfsservctl. An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns -EFAULT. The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value of access_ok in the five functions.
