66218da Atsushi Nemoto 24 January 2007, 06:43:34 UTC [MIPS] Fix wrong checksum calculation on 64-bit MIPS The commit 8e3d8433d8c22ca6c42cba4a67d300c39aae7822 ([NET]: MIPS checksum annotations and cleanups) broke 64-bit MIPS. The problem is the commit replaces some unsigned long with __be32. On 64bit MIPS, a __be32 (i.e. unsigned int) value is represented as a sign-extented 32-bit value in a 64-bit argument register. So the address 192.168.0.1 (0xc0a80001) is passed as 0xffffffffc0a80001 to csum_tcpudp_nofold() but the asm code in the function expects 0x00000000c0a80001, therefore it returns a wrong checksum. Explicit cast to unsigned long is needed to drop high 32bit. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> 24 January 2007, 19:23:22 UTC

07c53da Tejun Heo 20 January 2007, 17:10:11 UTC ahci: don't enter slumber on power down Some ATA/ATAPI devices act weirdly after the link is put into slumber mode. Some hang completely requiring physical power removal while others fail to wake up till the link is hardreset a couple of times. The addition of slumber on power down was never driven by real need. It just followed what ahci spec said literally. The spec itself seems faulty in that it doesn't consider devices (not controllers) which don't support link powersaving mode. Theory never matches reality when it comes to dark allys of cheap ATA/ATAPI world. It's just unrealistic to expect vendors to test rarely used link powersaving feature rigorously. This patch makes ahci more friendly to the coldness of reality. This shouldn't have any negative effect - when suspend operation succeeds, we power off the whole machine; otherwise, we wake up everything. I can't see any reason to be so elaborate with powering down the link in the first place.

f740d16 Robert Hancock 24 January 2007, 02:09:02 UTC sata_nv: don't rely on NV_INT_DEV indication with ADMA Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT. From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode. When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state is always checked by ata_host_intr. This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned "unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could cause interrupts to be lost.

2748e5d Patrick McHardy 24 January 2007, 06:00:13 UTC [NETFILTER]: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRIS With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger. On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility with old iptables binaries. Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

fb7e239 Masayuki Nakagawa 24 January 2007, 04:15:06 UTC [TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed. I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very simple IPv6 client-server program. The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me know. I can provide it.) This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in tcp_rcv_state_process(). When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet, then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb(). However, in case of a listening socket which was already set IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the kernel panic. I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

And i dont even have oprofile enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users. The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain. With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher munmap performance, on SMP systems. And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...

9554317 Linas Vepstas 23 January 2007, 18:40:54 UTC [PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued. The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254 However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could transport one out of the case, without setting the flag. This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement. I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing; I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

de14569 Vladimir Saveliev 23 January 2007, 04:40:46 UTC [PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

fc3dffe Avi Kivity 23 January 2007, 04:40:40 UTC [PATCH] KVM: fix bogus pagefault on writable pages If a page is marked as dirty in the guest pte, set_pte_common() can set the writable bit on newly-instantiated shadow pte. This optimization avoids a write fault after the initial read fault. However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly reports the fault as a guest page fault, and the guest oopses on what appears to be a correctly-mapped page. Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user access to a kernel page. With the fix, a kvm guest can survive a whole night of running the kernel hacker's screensaver (make -j9 in a loop).

This bug creeped in as the emulator originally relied on cr2 to contain the memory address; however we now decode it from the mod r/m bits, and must adjust the offset to account for large bit indices. The patch is rather large because it switches src and dst decoding around, so that the bit index is available when decoding the memory address. This fixes workloads like the FC5 installer.

cccf748 Avi Kivity 23 January 2007, 04:40:39 UTC [PATCH] KVM: fix race between mmio reads and injected interrupts The kvm mmio read path looks like: 1. guest read faults 2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated() 3. fails as a read requires userspace help 4. exit to userspace 5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed 6. re-enter guest, fault again 7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated() 8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set 9. instruction completes and guest is resumed A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt injection. In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original instruction, but the interrupt handler. The next time an mmio read is exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original instruction. The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways: - little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals - ne2000 fails under nfs read load - rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is incapable of issuing them. Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending. A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately instead. However that's a bit more complex.

With that, "nmi_watchdog=2" stops working for me on Intel Core 2 CPU based system. The problem is, setup_nmi_watchdog is called while parsing the boot option and identify_cpu is not done yet. So, the return value of nmi_known_cpu() is not valid at this point. So revert that check. This should not have any adverse effect as the nmi_known_cpu() check is done again later in enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog().

9ee79a3 James Bottomley 22 January 2007, 15:18:31 UTC [PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during boot The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA, the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA. The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so voyager currently won't boot without this. The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

e001548 Herbert Xu 23 January 2007, 03:10:00 UTC [PATCH] vmx: Fix register constraint in launch code Both "=r" and "=g" breaks my build on i386: $ make CC [M] drivers/kvm/vmx.o {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:3318: Error: bad register name `%sil' make[1]: *** [drivers/kvm/vmx.o] Error 1 make: *** [_module_drivers/kvm] Error 2 The reason is that setbe requires an 8-bit register but "=r" does not constrain the target register to be one that has an 8-bit version on i386. According to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10153 the correct constraint is "=q".
