b87e81e yakui.zhao@intel.com 15 April 2008, 21:34:49 UTC acpi: unneccessary to scan the PCI bus already scanned http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10124 this change: commit 08f1c192c3c32797068bfe97738babb3295bbf42 Author: Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> Date: Sun Jul 22 00:23:39 2007 +0300 x86-64: introduce struct pci_sysdata to facilitate sharing of ->sysdata This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and converts the existing two users (NUMA, Calgary) to use it. This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as the PCI domains work. The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok. replaces pcibios_scan_root by pci_scan_bus_parented... but in pcibios_scan_root we have a check about scanned busses.

d1e7780 Ben Dooks 15 April 2008, 21:34:46 UTC spi: spi_s3c24xx must initialize num_chipselect The SPI core now expects num_chipselect to be set correctly as due to added checks on the chip being selected before an transfer is allowed. This patch adds a num_cs field to the platform data which needs to be set correctly before adding the SPI platform device.

335e92e Jan Kara 15 April 2008, 21:34:43 UTC vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

423bec4 Nishanth Aravamudan 15 April 2008, 21:34:43 UTC Documentation: correct overcommit caveat in hugetlbpage.txt As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it.

bead9a3 Ingo Molnar 15 April 2008, 23:40:00 UTC mm: sparsemem memory_present() fix Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems. If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse memory section map: for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) { unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn); struct mem_section *ms; sparse_index_init(section, nid); set_section_nid(section, nid); ms = __nr_to_section(section); if (!ms->section_mem_map) ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) | SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT; 'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it. The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1: mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0) The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to sparsemem. This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself), but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be. An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or trimmed memory ranges.

093a07e Linus Torvalds 15 April 2008, 20:09:54 UTC Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()" When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console().

abe2f41 Alexey Korolev 14 April 2008, 19:45:06 UTC JFFS2 Fix of panics caused by wrong condition for hole frag creation in write_begin This fixes a regression introduced in commit 205c109a7a96d9a3d8ffe64c4068b70811fef5e8 when switching to write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2. The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko <vasiliy.leonenko@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 14 April 2008, 22:43:14 UTC
19e729a J. Bruce Fields 14 April 2008, 19:03:02 UTC locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfs Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

This leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when dereferencing the namespace pointer.

a40a7d1 Pavel Emelyanov 13 April 2008, 01:40:38 UTC [SCTP]: IPv4 vs IPv6 addresses mess in sctp_inet[6]addr_event. All IP addresses that are present in a system are duplicated on struct sctp_sockaddr_entry. They are linked in the global list called sctp_local_addr_list. And this struct unions IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. So, there can be rare case, when a sockaddr_in.sin_addr coincides with the corresponding part of the sockaddr_in6 and the notifier for IPv4 will carry away an IPv6 entry. The fix is to check the family before comparing the addresses. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Unlike TCP and UDP, the dccp_skb_cb doesn't contain a struct inet_skb_parm at the beginning, so the DCCP-specific data is interpreted by the IP output functions. This can cause false negatives for the conditional POST_ROUTING hook invocation, making the packet bypass the hook. Add a inet_skb_parm/inet6_skb_parm union to the beginning of dccp_skb_cb to avoid clashes. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure it fits in the cb.

This warrants kernel oops when the registers are accessed on PPC 44x platforms which (being 32-bit) have PCI memory space mapped beyond 4 GB.

a376e79 Ayaz Abdulla 11 April 2008, 04:30:35 UTC forcedeth: mac address fix This critical patch fixes a mac address issue recently introduced. If the device's mac address was in correct order and the flag NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV was set, during nv_remove the flag would get cleared. During next load, the mac address would get reversed because the flag is missing. As it has been indicated previously, the flag is cleared across a low power transition. Therefore, the driver should set the mac address back into the reversed order when clearing the flag. Also, the driver should set back the flag after a low power transition to protect against kexec command calling nv_probe a second time.

544451a Bjorn Helgaas 11 April 2008, 04:29:28 UTC pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely identified by the set of subsystems bound to it, but this is likely to change in the near future in order to support stateless subsystems and merging/rebinding of subsystems. Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the need for an API change later.

d10d89e Linus Torvalds 11 April 2008, 00:35:23 UTC Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 11 April 2008, 00:35:23 UTC
598af05 Roland McGrath 10 April 2008, 22:38:45 UTC asmlinkage_protect sys_io_getevents Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

54a0151 Roland McGrath 10 April 2008, 22:37:38 UTC asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

783e391 Venki Pallipadi 10 April 2008, 16:49:58 UTC x86: Simplify cpu_idle_wait This patch also resolves hangs on boot: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093 The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on certain laptops. Earlier commit 40d6a146629b98d8e322b6f9332b182c7cbff3df added smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle handler). Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.
