5e70982 Ray Lehtiniemi 07 November 2006, 02:19:15 UTC [ARM] 3927/1: Allow show_mem() to work with holes in memory map. show_mem() was not correctly handling holes in the memory map. It was treating the freed sections of the map as though they contained valid struct page entries. This could cause incorrect debugging output or even a kernel panic. This patch keeps the struct meminfo around after system initialization so that show_mem() can use it when scanning memory. show_mem() now walks over each bank of each online node, rather than assuming that each node contains a single contiguous bank.

e78181f Johannes Berg 06 November 2006, 22:17:20 UTC [PATCH] b44: change comment about irq mask register Through some experimentation with the similarly built bcm43xx I came to the conclusion that if the hw/firmware sets a bit in the interrupt register, an interrupt will only be raised if that bit is included in the interrupt mask. Hence, the interrupt mask is more like an interrupt control mask. This patch changes the comment to reflect that.

bcc8bcb Heiko Carstens 06 November 2006, 09:49:00 UTC [S390] revert add_active_range() usage patch. Commit 7676bef9c183fd573822cac9992927ef596d584c breaks DCSS support on s390. DCSS needs initialized struct pages to work. With the usage of add_active_range() only the struct pages for physically present pages are initialized. This could be fixed if the DCSS driver would initiliaze the struct pages itself, but this doesn't work too. This is because the mem_map array does not include holes after the last present memory area and therefore there is nothing that could be initialized. To fix this and to avoid some dirty hacks revert this patch for now. Will be added later when we move to a virtual mem_map.

d99f160 Eric W. Biederman 06 November 2006, 07:52:12 UTC [PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address the sysctl maintenance issues. The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated. By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary sysctl value when not needed. I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So this change in behavior should not affect anything. I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

This fixes a bug reported in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7438 tg3_close() turns off the PHY if WoL and ASF are both disabled. On the next tg3_open(), some devices such as the 5752M will not be brought up correctly without a PHY reset early in the reset sequence. The PHY clock is needed for some internal MAC blocks to function correctly. This problem is fixed by always resetting the PHY early in tg3_reset_hw() when it is called from tg3_open() or tg3_resume(). tg3_setup_phy() can then be called later in the sequence without the reset_phy parameter set to 1, since the PHY reset is already done.

10b1fbd Linus Torvalds 04 November 2006, 21:03:00 UTC Make sure "user->sigpending" count is in sync The previous commit (45c18b0bb579b5c1b89f8c99f1b6ffa4c586ba08, aka "Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been de-allocated on another CPU. It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent __sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal accounting. Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem. This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user" structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we just need to pick one) just once.

45c18b0 Linus Torvalds 04 November 2006, 18:06:02 UTC Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed. This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241 We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.

The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole "volatile" entirely. But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and should be reverted.

8ce0846 Stephen Rothwell 03 November 2006, 06:07:28 UTC [PATCH] Fix sys_move_pages when a NULL node list is passed sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages() depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place, do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

53b1733 Jeff Dike 03 November 2006, 06:07:22 UTC [PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened - a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would start up again as though nothing had happened. The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns. unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be delivered. The crucial part is this: signals_enabled = 1; save_pending = pending; if(save_pending == 0) return; pending = 0; In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased, signals are enabled. What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending' came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be immediately erased. When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input. The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably work. Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more things: - make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached in registers - add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

d13adb6 Yvan Seth 03 November 2006, 06:07:13 UTC [PATCH] ipmi_si_intf.c sets bad class_mask with PCI_DEVICE_CLASS Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7439 It looks like device registration in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c was cleaned up and a small error was made when setting the class_mask. The fix is simple as the correct mask value is defined in the code but is not used.

86f4f0f Eric Sandeen 03 November 2006, 06:07:05 UTC [PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issues ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic. This is because ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct. Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

c7e12b8 Pavel Emelianov 03 November 2006, 06:07:03 UTC [PATCH] Fix ipc entries removal Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing. 1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated with ipc_init_ids(). 2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref() may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in ipc_init_ids(). This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with them this situation becomes possible. Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.
