baf14aa Jeff Garzik 09 October 2007, 17:51:57 UTC sata_mv: correct S/G table limits The recent mv_fill_sg() rewrite, to fix a data corruption problem related to IOMMU virtual merging, forgot to account for the potentially-increased size of the scatter/gather table after its run. Additionally, the DMA boundary is reduced from 0xffffffff to 0xffff to more closely match the needs of mv_fill_sg().

f708631 Florian Fainelli 25 September 2007, 15:07:24 UTC [MIPS] Alchemy: Fix USB initialization. This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all. This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were working anyway for most people got forgotten. [Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.] Cc: Giuseppe Patanè <giuseppe.patane@tvblob.com> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John Crispin <blogic@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@telecomint.eu> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> 09 October 2007, 11:47:48 UTC

bf0b48d Brian Haley 08 October 2007, 07:12:05 UTC [IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now.

48611c4 Ilpo Järvinen 08 October 2007, 06:43:10 UTC [TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

291041e Al Viro 07 October 2007, 07:24:36 UTC fix bogus reporting of signals by audit Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI device in your system, possibly crashing at boot. Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

67dd5a2 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 06 October 2007, 00:19:35 UTC xen: disable split pte locks for now When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state. When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped more than about 512M of memory. However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.

But in standard C, it is invalid to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and note #84). prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument. Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x" argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was inlined. Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint. [ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to __builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now. -- AK ] Signed-off-by: Serge Belyshev <belyshev@depni.sinp.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 05 October 2007, 15:04:35 UTC

Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has wrapped. That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg down. Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs. [ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably migrated to x86-64..

27097ef David S. Miller 04 October 2007, 04:37:57 UTC [SPARC64]: Temporary workaround for PCI-E slot on T1000. The PCI-E slot on T1000 connects directly to the Fire PCI chip with no intervening bridges visible in the OBP tree. Unfortunately the bus numbering of the device in that slot is different (2) from the PCI host controller (0), and thus the pci_bus_{read,write}_config_*() calls don't work out. Complicating things further the Fire PCI controller has no config space it responds to either. For now treat this case specially so that devices in the slot work. Longer term we need to perhaps cons up a dummy bridge between the Fire and the PCI-E slot so that the bus hierarchy is complete inside of the kernel and thus the bus numbering all works out right.

I must confess I'm not > keeping track of Linux wireless support, and the different protocol > stacks etc. > > Details are as follows: > > ieee80211_rx() does not explicitly check that "skb->len >= hdrlen". > There are other skb->len checks, but not enough to prevent a subtle > off-by-two error if the frame has the IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA flag > set. > > This leads to integer underflow and crash here: > > if (frag != 0) > flen -= hdrlen; > > (flen is subsequently used as a memcpy length parameter).

9b42c33 Eric Dumazet 01 October 2007, 20:58:36 UTC [TCP]: secure_tcp_sequence_number() should not use a too fast clock TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock. In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes) Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every 274 seconds.

32740dd Alexey Kuznetsov 01 October 2007, 00:51:33 UTC [SFQ]: Remove artificial limitation for queue limit. This is followup to Patrick's patch. A little optimization to enqueue routine allows to remove artificial limitation on queue length. Plus, testing showed that hash function used by SFQ is too bad or even worse. It does not even sweep the whole range of hash values. Switched to Jenkins' hash. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kaber@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S.

cf8dc57 Andi Kleen 01 October 2007, 08:20:08 UTC x86_64: increase VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET for ancient binutils For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors. Roland McGrath explains: "There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in '.gnu.version') Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the cutoff was. The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess. This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing the layout with a config option or something to pack it better without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

e48395f Anton Blanchard 30 September 2007, 21:45:55 UTC [POWERPC] Fix xics set_affinity code On a POWER6 machine running 2.6.23-rc8 I sometimes see the following error: xics_set_affinity: No online cpus in the mask 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000001 for irq 20 In a desperate attempt to get a changelog entry in 2.6.23, I took a look into it. It turns out we are passing a real and not a virtual irq into get_irq_server. This works for the case where hwirq < NR_IRQS and we set virq = hwirq. In my case however hwirq = 590082 and we try and access irq_desc[590082], slightly past the end at 512 entries. Lucky we ship lots of memory with our machines.

7572395 Linus Torvalds 01 October 2007, 20:17:28 UTC Fix possible splice() mmap_sem deadlock Nick Piggin points out that splice isn't being good about the mmap semaphore: while two readers can nest inside each others, it does leave a possible deadlock if a writer (ie a new mmap()) comes in during that nesting. Original "just move the locking" patch by Nick, replaced by one by me based on an optimistic pagefault_disable(). And then Jens tested and updated that patch.

564256c Tim Shimmin 01 October 2007, 06:39:37 UTC Revert "[XFS] Avoid replaying inode buffer initialisation log items if on-disk version is newer." This reverts commit b394e43e995d08821588a22561c6a71a63b4ff27. Lachlan McIlroy says: It tried to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing more (serious) problems than it is fixing.

9f96cb1 Martin Schwidefsky 01 October 2007, 08:20:13 UTC robust futex thread exit race Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex. fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1) some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some mutexs held by a different thread are freed. The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
