d0de4dc Eric Paris 05 April 2011, 21:20:50 UTC inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct user On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a16e ("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure"). We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned up. The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org (2.6.37 and up) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 05 April 2011, 22:27:14 UTC
782b86e Jens Axboe 05 April 2011, 01:29:57 UTC ide: always ensure that blk_delay_queue() is called if we have pending IO Just because we are not requeuing a request does not mean that some aren't pending. So always issue a blk_delay_queue() if either we are requeueing OR there's pending IO. This fixes a boot problem for some IDE boxes.

a63a5cf Mike Snitzer 01 April 2011, 19:02:31 UTC dm: improve block integrity support The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable (stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to verify all integrity profiles match is during table load. Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity' template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a profile was initialized. Update DM integrity support to: - check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored. - disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile - avoid clearing an existing integrity profile - validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past the point of no return) Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Martin K.

a6737ad Chris Wilson 05 April 2011, 15:04:40 UTC drm/i915/lvds: Remove 0xa0 DDC probe for LVDS This is a revert of 428d2e828c0a68206e5158a42451487601dc9194. This is broken in the same manner as for VGA: trying to write to an invalid address on the (currently 7-bit) i2c bus. One notable failure appears to be for MacBooks. The scary part was that it gave the appearance of working (i.e. reporting the absence of the panel) on various all-in-one machines with ghost LVDS panels and not failing for laptops.

0de009c Chris Wilson 05 April 2011, 15:04:39 UTC drm/i915/crt: Remove 0xa0 probe for VGA This is a moral revert of 6ec3d0c0e9c0c605696e91048eebaca7b0c36695. Following the fix to reset the GMBUS controller after a NAK, we finally utilize the 0xa0 probe for a CRT connection. And discover that the code is broken. Shock. There are a number of issues, but following a key insight from Dave Airlie, that 0xA0 is an invalid address on a 7-bit bus (though not if we were to enable 10-bit addressing), and would look like the EDID port 0x50, it is possible to see where the confusion starts. In short, a write to 0xA0 is accepted by the GMBUS controller which we interpreted as meaning the existence of a connection (a slave on the other end of the wire ACKing the write). That was false. During testing with a broken GMBUS implementation, which never reset an earlier NAK, this test always reported a NAK and so we proceeded on to the next test.

Commit b3df895aebe091b1657 "powerpc/kexec: Add support for FSL-BookE" introduced the original PPC_STD_MMU_64 checks around the function crash_kexec_wait_realmode(). Then commit c2be05481f61252 "powerpc: Fix default_machine_crash_shutdown #ifdef botch" changed the ifdef around the calling site to add a check on SMP, but the ifdef around the function itself was left unchanged, leaving an unused function for PPC_STD_MMU_64=y and SMP=n Rather than have two ifdefs that can get out of sync like this, simply put the corrected conditional around the function and use a stub to get rid of one set of ifdefs completely.

43be214 Josef Bacik 01 April 2011, 14:55:00 UTC Btrfs: fix free space cache when there are pinned extents and clusters V2 I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting as an early ENOSPC. Turns out when writing the free space cache out I forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly clusters. This would result in us leaking free space everytime we unmounted the filesystem and remounted it. I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group has a cluster and writing out any entries that are in the cluster to the cache, as well as writing any pinned extents we currently have to the cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs mounts. This patch also adds a check to the end of load_free_space_cache to make sure we got the right amount of free space cache, and if not make sure to clear the cache and re-cache the old fashioned way.

This bug is not revealed until we added readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you may find the subvolumes in it are readonly. To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags, and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized. When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

a5660b4 Linus Torvalds 04 April 2011, 21:26:54 UTC tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer') ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm itself if the destination buffer had filled up. With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with basically a busy loop instead. Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should have been doing anyway. This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592 which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power and CPU for no good reason.

c261344 Arnd Bergmann 02 April 2011, 03:12:02 UTC usbnet: use eth%d name for known ethernet devices The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links. Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to call random_ether_address(). Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the user can expect based on the documentation, including for new devices. The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the flag.

12ff414 Kelly Anderson 01 April 2011, 09:58:25 UTC ALSA: pcm: fix infinite loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263 negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts disabled results in the machine locking up. To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for both operands so that the comparison is correctly done. Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

That means that if an interrupt occurs, we will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want, as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec). Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts enabled.
