ef23cdb [IA64] use mprintk instead of printk, in ia64_mca_modify_original_stack Using printk from MCA/INIT context is unsafe since it can cause deadlock. The ia64_mca_modify_original_stack is called from both of mca handler and init handler, so it should use mprintk instead of printk.

b704882 [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode: * Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle. * Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference vector. Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode as the default.

0ca4b6b x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes the interrupt to become unusable. This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded and reloaded repeatedly.

23918b0 SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication code Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in rpcauth_lookup_credcache. It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups, generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number of identical credentials at the RPC layer. The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info if the actual pointers are not identical.

But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory: if (addr < 0) break; Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value "sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator. Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs). This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

ddb4cbf [CIFS] Do not attempt to close invalidated file handles If a connection with open file handles has gone down and come back up and reconnected without reopening the file handle yet, do not attempt to send an SMB close request for this handle in cifs_close. We were checking for the connection being invalid in cifs_close but since the connection may have been reconnected we also need to check whether the file handle was marked invalid (otherwise we could close the wrong file handle by accident).

f1c0a2a USB: usbmon: fix read(2) There's a bug in the usbmon binary reader: When using read() to fetch the packets and a packet's data is partially read, the next read call will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size.

This prevented interoperation with MS-Windows (but not Linux). Fix this to make RNDIS behave again.

b09bc6c USB: fix SB700 usb subsystem hang bug This patch is required for AMD SB700 south bridge revision A12 and A13 to avoid USB subsystem hang symptom. The USB subsystem hang symptom is observed when the system has multiple USB devices connected to it. In some cases a USB hub may be required to observe this symptom. This patch works around the problem by correcting the internal register setting that will help by changing the behavior of the internal logic to avoid the USB subsystem hang issue. The change in the behavior of the logic does not impact the normal operation of the USB subsystem.

That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around, Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with __GFP_IO. In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap(): allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.

3fa59df cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy As Balbir pointed out, memcg's pre_destroy handler has potential deadlock. It has following lock sequence. cgroup_mutex (cgroup_rmdir) -> pre_destroy -> mem_cgroup_pre_destroy-> force_empty -> cpu_hotplug.lock. (lru_add_drain_all-> schedule_work-> get_online_cpus) But, cpuset has following. cpu_hotplug.lock (call notifier) -> cgroup_mutex. (within notifier) Then, this lock sequence should be fixed. Considering how pre_destroy works, it's not necessary to holding cgroup_mutex() while calling it. As a side effect, we don't have to wait at this mutex while memcg's force_empty works.(it can be long when there are tons of pages.)

0ae1513 mm: vmalloc search restart fix Current vmalloc restart search for a free area in case we can't find one. The reason is there are areas which are lazily freed, and could be possibly freed now. However, current implementation start searching the tree from the last failing address, which is pretty much by definition at the end of address space. So, we fail. The proposal of this patch is to restart the search from the beginning of the requested vstart address. This fixes the regression in running KVM virtual machines for me, described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/28/349, caused by commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce.

f481891 cpuset: update top cpuset's mems after adding a node After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated. By reviewing the code, we found that the update function cpuset_track_online_nodes() was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes. It is wrong because N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says. This patch fixes it. And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

ac97b9f eCryptfs: Allocate up to two scatterlists for crypto ops on keys I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future stable release. Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.

393df74 pxa2xx_spi: bugfix full duplex dma data corruption Fixes a data corruption bug in pxa2xx_spi.c when operating in full duplex mode with DMA and using buffers that overlap. SPI transmit and receive buffers are allowed to be the same or to overlap. However, this driver fails if such overlap is attempted in DMA mode because it maps the rx and tx buffers in the wrong order. By mapping DMA_FROM_DEVICE (read) before DMA_TO_DEVICE (write), it invalidates the cache before flushing it, thus discarding data which should have been transmitted. The patch corrects the order of mapping. This bug exists in all versions of pxa2xx_spi.c; similar bugs are in the drivers for two other SPI controllers (au1500, imx). A version of this patch has been tested on kernel 2.6.20 using verification of loopback data with: random transfer length, random bits-per-word, random positive offsets (both larger and smaller than transfer length) between the start of the rx and tx buffers, and varying clock rates.

de11def reintroduce accept4 Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(), inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags argument that can be used to access additional functionality. The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented. (Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.) SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here: http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling", Ulrich Drepper). The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4(). (This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result. Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with. It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file description returned by accept4(). I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2, and it passes according to my test program. /* test_accept4.c Copyright (C) 2008, Linux Foundation, written by Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #define PORT_NUM 33333 #define die(msg) do { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } while (0) /**********************************************************************/ /* The following is what we need until glibc gets a wrapper for accept4() */ /* Flags for socket(), socketpair(), accept4() */ #ifndef SOCK_CLOEXEC #define SOCK_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC #endif #ifndef SOCK_NONBLOCK #define SOCK_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK #endif #ifdef __x86_64__ #define SYS_accept4 288 #elif __i386__ #define USE_SOCKETCALL 1 #define SYS_ACCEPT4 18 #else #error "Sorry -- don't know the syscall # on this architecture" #endif static int accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sockaddr, socklen_t *addrlen, int flags) { printf("Calling accept4(): flags = %x", flags); if (flags != 0) { printf(" ("); if (flags & SOCK_CLOEXEC) printf("SOCK_CLOEXEC"); if ((flags & SOCK_CLOEXEC) && (flags & SOCK_NONBLOCK)) printf(" "); if (flags & SOCK_NONBLOCK) printf("SOCK_NONBLOCK"); printf(")"); } printf("\n"); #if USE_SOCKETCALL long args[6]; args[0] = fd; args[1] = (long) sockaddr; args[2] = (long) addrlen; args[3] = flags; return syscall(SYS_socketcall, SYS_ACCEPT4, args); #else return syscall(SYS_accept4, fd, sockaddr, addrlen, flags); #endif } /**********************************************************************/ static int do_test(int lfd, struct sockaddr_in *conn_addr, int closeonexec_flag, int nonblock_flag) { int connfd, acceptfd; int fdf, flf, fdf_pass, flf_pass; struct sockaddr_in claddr; socklen_t addrlen; printf("=======================================\n"); connfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (connfd == -1) die("socket"); if (connect(connfd, (struct sockaddr *) conn_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) == -1) die("connect"); addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); acceptfd = accept4(lfd, (struct sockaddr *) &claddr, &addrlen, closeonexec_flag | nonblock_flag); if (acceptfd == -1) { perror("accept4()"); close(connfd); return 0; } fdf = fcntl(acceptfd, F_GETFD); if (fdf == -1) die("fcntl:F_GETFD"); fdf_pass = ((fdf & FD_CLOEXEC) != 0) == ((closeonexec_flag & SOCK_CLOEXEC) != 0); printf("Close-on-exec flag is %sset (%s); ", (fdf & FD_CLOEXEC) ?

de339c2 phylib: Fix auto-negotiation restart avoidance A previous patch, 51e2a3846eab18711f4eb59cd0a4c33054e2980a, made genphy_config_aneg() not restart aneg by calling genphy_restart_aneg() if the advertisement hadn't changed. But, genphy_restart_aneg() doesn't just restart aneg, it may also *enable* aneg or un-isolate the PHY from the MII (those functions are controlled by the same register). The code to avoid calling genphy_restart_aneg() didn't consider this. So, modify genphy_config_aneg() to also check if the PHY needs to have aneg enabled or be un-isolated before deciding not to restart aneg. This caused a problem with certain Davicom PHYs, as that driver isolates the PHY (why?) before calling genphy_config_aneg() and expects the PHY to be un-isolated by that function.

3246477 ftrace: fix dyn ftrace filter selection Impact: clean up and fix for dyn ftrace filter selection The previous logic of the dynamic ftrace selection of enabling or disabling functions was complex and incorrect. This patch simplifies the code and corrects the usage. This simplification also makes the code more robust. Here is the correct logic: Given a function that can be traced by dynamic ftrace: If the function is not to be traced, disable it if it was enabled. (this is if the function is in the set_ftrace_notrace file) (filter is on if there exists any functions in set_ftrace_filter file) If the filter is on, and we are enabling functions: If the function is in set_ftrace_filter, enable it if it is not already enabled. If the function is not in set_ftrace_filter, disable it if it is not already disabled. Otherwise, if the filter is off and we are enabling function tracing: Enable the function if it is not already enabled. Otherwise, if we are disabling function tracing: Disable the function if it is not already disabled. This code now sets or clears the ENABLED flag in the record, and at the end it will enable the function if the flag is set, or disable the function if the flag is cleared. The parameters for the function that does the above logic is also simplified. Instead of passing in confusing "new" and "old" where they might be swapped if the "enabled" flag is not set. The old logic even had one of the above always NULL and had to be filled in. The new logic simply passes in one parameter called "nop". A "call" is calculated in the code, and at the end of the logic, when we know we need to either disable or enable the function, we can then use the "nop" and "call" properly. This code is more robust than the previous version. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> 19 November 2008, 05:19:47 UTC

4018517 iwlagn: fix RX skb alignment So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem: BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff)); Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler removes it entirely. (Think about it) After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about. So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why. This should fix the following reported kernel bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983 I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will have a few instances too... I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into the bug) to try this patch. I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply errors. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

8e3bad6 mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset. Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good enough" suspend/resume. Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless. Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping functions within the critical section, and now because it's called by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl because it is flushed under rtnl. (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046) I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly. For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation, while the suspend operation must be done directly. Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is available and requested.
