e4d8490 Dan Williams 24 September 2007, 17:06:13 UTC raid5: fix 2 bugs in ops_complete_biofill 1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the state necessary to return read completions is available. However the process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead). ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read request. 2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with dev->toread. The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read. R5_Wantfill can be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and ops_complete_biofill.

6e694ea Jack Morgenstein 19 September 2007, 16:52:25 UTC IB/mlx4: Fix data corruption triggered by wrong headroom marking order This is an addendum to commit 0e6e7416 ("IB/mlx4: Handle new FW requirement for send request prefetching"). We also need to handle prefetch marking properly for S/G segments, or else the HCA may end up processing S/G segments that are not fully written and end up sending the wrong data. This can actually cause data corruption in practice, especially on systems with relatively slow CPUs (where the HCA is more likely to prefetch while the CPU is in the middle of writing a work request into memory). We write S/G segments in reverse order into the WQE, in order to guarantee that the first dword of all cachelines containing S/G segments is written last (overwriting the headroom invalidation pattern). The entire cacheline will thus contain valid data when the invalidation pattern is overwritten.

b7e113d Thomas Gleixner 22 September 2007, 22:29:06 UTC clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across the suspend/resume. Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time. The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set, when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

b04e7bd Thomas Gleixner 22 September 2007, 22:29:05 UTC ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resume device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one) show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause. After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality) made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image, ...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more prominent. We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile. Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle implementation (halt) instead.

415cb80 Mark Fasheh 17 September 2007, 03:10:16 UTC ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writes The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size. Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass. This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more than it asked for. Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial reservation. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> 20 September 2007, 22:06:09 UTC

b8fceee Davide Libenzi 20 September 2007, 19:40:16 UTC signalfd simplification This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the sighand during its lifetime. In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current". I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago. The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to fetch w/out signalfd.

f3d5e3a Herbert Xu 19 September 2007, 17:46:28 UTC [PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify cloned skb data. It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for ppp_async and ppp_sync. The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit. The original code leaked any existing socket skb accounting. We could fix this by dropping the original skb owner. However, this is undesirable as the packet has not physically left the host yet. In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing through to their own socket. In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP. So this patch simply removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit. The accounting still applies to control packets of course. I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work. I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

Here is a scenario; 1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and thread B is rt_sched_class. 2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock. 3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread C has a rt_sched_class. 4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority.

dbe3ed1 Linus Torvalds 19 September 2007, 18:37:14 UTC x86-64: page faults from user mode are always user faults Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user mode. This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to possibly have fixed it. Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

508a927 Jeff Dike 19 September 2007, 05:46:49 UTC uml: fix irqstack crash This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling whatever signals had come in. However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original values. This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look into it after it has been freed. The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to the mask.

480eccf Lee Schermerhorn 19 September 2007, 05:46:47 UTC Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone. Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy, but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the numa map data. Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy. The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy. This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy. Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier. huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma 'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be unref'd after allocation.

28f300d Pavel Emelyanov 19 September 2007, 05:46:45 UTC Fix user namespace exiting OOPs It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later. On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned. Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the user_struct destruction. For example simple program #include <sched.h> char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024]; int f(void *foo) { return 0; } int main(void) { clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0); return 0; } run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the kernel immediately.

ef2b02d Eric Sandeen 19 September 2007, 05:46:42 UTC ext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both blocks The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW, it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created enough space for it. The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry. The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and if it grows too large it may be overwritten.

e426019 Andrew Morton 19 September 2007, 05:46:41 UTC disable sys_timerfd() for 2.6.23 There is still some confusion and disagreement over what this interface should actually do. So it is best that we disable it in 2.6.23 until we get that fully sorted out. (sys_timerfd() was present in 2.6.22 but it was apparently broken, so here we assume that nobody is using it yet).

4191ba2 Cliff Wickman 19 September 2007, 05:46:31 UTC mspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areas The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic. If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by an munmap(2). The current driver uses the current size of each vma to deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc(). So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(), and mspec attempts to free it with kfree(). This results in a panic. This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the munmap(2)'s. All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's. The mpec driver must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each member vma. In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure. The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case so the reference count is left as atomic_t.

2e3e31c David Gibson 19 September 2007, 05:46:28 UTC rtc-ds1742.c should use resource_size_t for base address Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1742.c uses an unsigned long to store the base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on systems like PowerPC 440, which is a 32-bit core with 36-bit physical addresses: IO on the system, including the RTC, is typically above the 4GB point, and cannot fit into an unsigned long. This patch fixes the problem by replacing the unsigned long with a resource_size_t. Tested on Ebony (PPC440) (with additional patches to instantiate the ds1742 platform device appropriately).

The original patch replaced a call to try_to_freeze() with a call to yield(). I believe a simple reversion is wrong because if !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, try_to_freeze() is a noop. It should still yield.
