[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ] However, there's a problem with commit 6d76013381ed28979cd122eb4b249a88b5e384fa in that if you fail to allocate a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication), it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs() This should fix it [ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory, but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ] Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 27 August 2009, 19:33:19 UTC

0db501b Eric W. Biederman 27 August 2009, 10:20:04 UTC inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL. Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0' byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of event_size. Ouch! So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to do.

It will also try to free a failed request or an already freed IRQ if 0 was written to the gpio file.

2a90800 Frans Pop 26 August 2009, 21:29:29 UTC ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0. Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling. Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure the reset really takes effect. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in 2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5 months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various reminders and without any reason given. Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear. The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

0d28816 Michael Brunner 26 August 2009, 21:29:25 UTC thermal_sys: check get_temp return value The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a thermal zone update. This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than the critical trip point. This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS). The following critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously wrong. The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails. The trip points are evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp execution.

4ab6c08 Oleg Nesterov 26 August 2009, 21:29:24 UTC clone(): fix race between copy_process() and de_thread() Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below. copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not. This test case #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> void *null_thread(void *p) { for (;;) sleep(1); return NULL; } void *exec_thread(void *p) { execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL); return null_thread(p); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { for (;;) { pid_t pid; int ret, status; pid = fork(); if (pid < 0) break; if (!pid) { pthread_t tid; pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL); for (;;) pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL); } do { ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0); } while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR); } return 0; } quickly creates an unkillable task. If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread() copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space. Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its reference to signal correctly. If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case (and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the thread group. We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used by de_thread/__exit_signal at all. This patch only fixes the bug.

03ef83a Minchan Kim 26 August 2009, 21:29:23 UTC mm: fix for infinite churning of mlocked pages An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race. This causes the page to clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma. This means it can be put onto the [in]active list. We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list(). But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug. If the page has PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is put into the active list. If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable list. This patch fixes it.

b62e408 David Rientjes 26 August 2009, 21:29:22 UTC flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

a30b595 David Rientjes 26 August 2009, 21:29:20 UTC flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail to return the data. This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).

d8ed1d4 David S. Miller 25 August 2009, 23:47:46 UTC sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses. When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

5c58cef Linus Torvalds 25 August 2009, 16:12:43 UTC tty: make sure to flush any pending work when halting the ldisc When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b770468e98 and cbe9352fa08f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

353d5c3 Hugh Dickins 24 August 2009, 15:30:28 UTC mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock call 2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy(). In detail: Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock() is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

3c4cec6 Jan Kara 24 August 2009, 14:38:43 UTC ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :).

6ff9c2e Krzysztof Hałasa 24 August 2009, 02:02:13 UTC E100: fix interaction with swiotlb on X86. E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100 chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers. This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API, allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking other architectures).

8e9d78e Linus Torvalds 22 August 2009, 00:40:08 UTC Re-introduce page mapping check in mark_buffer_dirty() In commit a8e7d49aa7be728c4ae241a75a2a124cdcabc0c5 ("Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside __set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers. That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable. And indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen. Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla entries that look similar: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876 and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate). I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.

b04e637 Linus Torvalds 21 August 2009, 16:48:10 UTC x86: don't call '->send_IPI_mask()' with an empty mask As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.
