d31e817 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 16 November 2006, 03:00:57 UTC [PATCH] powerpc: windfarm shall request it's sub modules The windfarm code, in it's current incarnation, uses request_module() to load the various submodules it needs for a given platform so that only the main platform control module needs to be modprobed. However, it was missing various bits. This fixes it. In the future, we'll use some hotplug mecanisms to try to get all of this auto-loaded on the platforms where it matters but that isn't ready yet.

45c9953 Eric W. Biederman 14 November 2006, 17:52:12 UTC [PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interrupts Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI." This trivial patch solves the problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix" actually causes more problems: "However, the new code does not look safe in all cases. If some other task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the new code will update open_files to the new larger value. But newf was allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory." so revert it.

Convert libata to use subsys_initcall instead of module_init, which ensures that libata gets loaded before any LLDD. This is the same thing that scsi core does to solve the problem.

cb07c9a David Gibson 14 November 2006, 10:03:38 UTC [PATCH] hugetlb: check for brk() entering a hugepage region Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages. On powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage region, causing oopses and other badness. Add a test to prevent this. With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.

68589bc Hugh Dickins 14 November 2006, 10:03:32 UTC [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too (David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

8c131af Andi Kleen 14 November 2006, 15:57:46 UTC [PATCH] x86-64: Fix vgetcpu when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly and vgetcpu wouldn't work. Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled with an hotplug notifier. This actually simplifies the code somewhat. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> 14 November 2006, 15:57:46 UTC

15803a4 Magnus Damm 14 November 2006, 15:57:46 UTC [PATCH] x86-64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly (kdump) x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly 2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup. This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time, and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which returns 0 because no regions exist. This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call to e820_end_of_ram().

51d67a4 Steven Rostedt 14 November 2006, 15:57:46 UTC [PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment says Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very nasty bug in Xen. But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64 kernel boot setup. The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into protected mode is way too big. The comment by the code states that the size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'. Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception. Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit being a magnitude too big.

253b92e Darrick J. Wong 14 November 2006, 14:55:41 UTC libata: fix double-completion on error A curious thing happens, however, when ata_qc_new_init fails to get an ata_queued_cmd: First, ata_qc_new_init handles the failure like this: cmd->result = (DID_OK << 16) | (QUEUE_FULL << 1); done(cmd); Then, we return to ata_scsi_translate and do this: err_mem: cmd->result = (DID_ERROR << 16); done(cmd); It appears to me that first we set a status code indicating that we're ok but the device queue is full and finish the command, but then we blow away that status code and replace it with an error flag and finish the command a second time! That does not seem to be desirable behavior since we merely want the I/O to wait until a command slot frees up, not send errors up the block layer.

3979869 Roland Dreier 13 November 2006, 17:38:07 UTC IB/mad: Fix race between cancel and receive completion When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However, this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed before the send is fully flushed. This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as a use-after-free in IPoIB. Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same check to the search of the wait_list.

This issue is only theoretical. I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

4c60658 David Chinner 11 November 2006, 07:05:00 UTC [XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes. The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying to push the inode it was currently unpinning. To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux inode to the xfs inode.

ae883ca John Rose 08 November 2006, 16:07:30 UTC [POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizes The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure, even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement. This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with 4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for the flash blocks and lists. The 4k alignment requirement is specified in PAPR. Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 10 November 2006, 10:35:36 UTC

Biederman 09 November 2006, 01:44:57 UTC [PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chip This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a bit. This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the architecture read/write routines to update this code.

13bb7e3 Eric W. Biederman 09 November 2006, 01:44:51 UTC [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point, so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period. Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to find these last remaining users. Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the meantime. Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is no longer a need to change the binary interface at all. Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with the removal of sys_sysctl. So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code in by default. With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about 5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.
