For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().

9411e21 Takashi Iwai 13 February 2009, 10:32:28 UTC ALSA: hda - Add snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() Added the helper function snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() to clean up the digital outputs with multi setup. This call is needed in cases the codec supports multiple digital outputs as slaves. Otherwise the slave widgets aren't properly cleaned up. For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> 13 February 2009, 10:59:13 UTC

Recently I received a report about internal mic not working (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

9970937 Andrew Morton 13 February 2009, 00:43:17 UTC net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any() The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations from spinlocked regions. Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy callsites. Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no idea what this patch will do.

3a4c680 Nick Piggin 12 February 2009, 03:34:23 UTC Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no more work to be done. But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout, we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0. This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and caused bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604 about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically. With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly 5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

4d48a54 Paul Clements 11 February 2009, 21:04:45 UTC nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized) nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce: # ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048 # dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1 ...hangs... This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later will hang. This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277 Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the same. This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD: allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around 2.6.25. The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of this bug.

9480c53 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 11 February 2009, 21:04:41 UTC mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]: > Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. > Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so > that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the > process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into > the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get > a swap token) Jeremy explained: Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned", meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall (or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be directly accessed as normal RW pages. As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses. This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side. Thus, this patch: exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap, as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the former to fail.

This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because of this. To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.

0e4a9b5 Carsten Otte 11 February 2009, 21:04:37 UTC ext2/xip: refuse to change xip flag during remount with busy inodes For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging, mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from regular operation to xip, or the other way around. According to a git bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL rework in the vm: commit 70688e4dd1647f0ceb502bbd5964fa344c5eb411 Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Mon Apr 28 02:13:02 2008 -0700 xip: support non-struct page backed memory In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root= kernel parameter on s390x. During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem). Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork). Some of the mappings in this bash process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during remount. Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies in their address spaces. The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various attempts to recreate it have failed. This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some inodes cannot be invalidated. This patch keeps users from running into that issue.

508b9f8 MinChan Kim 11 February 2009, 21:04:27 UTC mm: fix mlocked page counter mismatch When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter is strange. It cannot free some mlocked pages. It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real page mappings in vmas. That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped. It is related to the file's interval, not to pages. Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page. After this the mlocked counter is increased again. COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case. This patch resolves it. -- my test program -- int main() { mlockall(MCL_CURRENT); return 0; } -- before -- root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev' Unevictable: 0 kB Mlocked: 0 kB -- after -- root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev' Unevictable: 8 kB Mlocked: 8 kB Signed-off-by: MinChan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Acked-by: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Acked-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 11 February 2009, 22:25:35 UTC

Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs(). Furthermore ext3_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can.

8fe4cd0 Jan Kara 11 February 2009, 21:04:25 UTC jbd: fix return value of journal_start_commit() journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to userspace. This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>: #!/bin/bash umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 rm -f /mnt/test2/* dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512 touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename /mnt/test2/link umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 ls /mnt/test2/ This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

However, it is still taking filesystem quota unconditionally. At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate the page and account for filesystem quota. If either fail, the fault fails. The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice. This patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003.

That misguided patch led to being unable to use iwlwifi devices after resume. Next, indicate to PCI driver that the saved PCI state is valid during suspend. We restore PCI state and enable the device when network interface is created, similarly PCI state is saved and the device is disabled when network interface is removed. Thus, when .suspend is called the PCI state is saved and device is disabled. This is the case even if an interface is never created as PCI state is saved and device disabled during .probe. PCI driver assumes PCI state is saved in .suspend. Saving the state at this time will save state of disabled device and thus cause problems during resume (resuming a disabled device). We thus indicate directly to PCI driver that current PCI saved state is valid.

If the timer expires in the small window between our check of timer_pending and the call to mod_timer, then the timer will be set, mod_timer returns zero and we will call add_timer for a timer that is already pending. As del_timer and mod_timer do all the necessary checking themselves, we can simplify our code and remove the race a the same time.

06eb23b Oleg Nesterov 09 February 2009, 01:02:33 UTC ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork() I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit bf53de907dfdaac178c92d774aae7370d7b97d20. I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (!pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); fork(); } else { struct ptrace_bts_config bts = { .flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC, .size = 4 * 4096, }; wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK); ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts)); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL); sleep(1); } return 0; } should crash the kernel. If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0 but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

606c0ce Wu Fengguang 11 February 2009, 07:22:29 UTC ALSA: hda - enable HDMI audio pin out at module loading time We found that enabling/disabling HDMI audio pin out at stream start/stop time will kill the leading 500ms or so sound samples. Avoid this by enabling pin out once and for ever at module loading time. The leading ~500ms audio samples will still be lost when switching from X-channel playback to Y-channel playback where X != Y. However there's no much we can do about it: the audio infoframe has to change and it looks like either G45 or YAMAHA requires some time to switch the configuration.

In theory that mapping should be derived from its speaker configurations contained in its ELD. However we currently cannot get ELD in console before the KMS functionalities are ready. This is a more or less general issue at least in the near future. As a workaround, we propose to allow playback of mult-channel audio when ELD is not available.

7b7a799 Meelis Roos 11 February 2009, 01:29:42 UTC sunhme: Fix Quattro HME irq registration on proble failures Currently, the sunhme driver installs SBus Quattro interrupt handler when at least one HME card was initialized correctly and at least one Quattro card is present. This breaks when a Quattro card fails initialization for whatever reason - IRQ is registered and OOPS happens when it fires. The solution, as suggested by David Miller, was to keep track which cards of the Quattro bundles have been initialized, and request/free the Quattro IRQ only when all four devices have been successfully initialized. The patch only touches SBus initialization - PCI init already resets the card pointer to NULL on init failure. The patch has been tested on Sun E3500 with SBus and PCI single HME cards and one PCI Quattro HME card in a situation where any PCI card failed init when the SBus routines tried to init them by mistake. Additionally it replaces Quattro request_irq panic with error return - if this card fails to work, at least let the others work. Tested on E450 with PCI HME and PCI Quad HME.
