| 58e690e | Avi Kivity | 26 February 2007, 14:29:43 UTC | KVM: Fix bogus failure in kvm.ko module initialization A bogus 'return r' can cause an otherwise successful module load to fail. This both denies users the use of kvm, and it also denies them the use of their machine, as it leaves a filesystem registered with its callbacks pointing into now-freed module memory. Fix by returning a zero like a good module. Thanks to Richard Lucassen <mailinglists@lucassen.org> (?) for reporting the problem and for providing access to a machine which exhibited it.

| bccf215 | Avi Kivity | 21 February 2007, 16:04:26 UTC | KVM: Per-vcpu inodes Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following benefits: - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on every ioctl() - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived from the fd used to make the call Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> | 04 March 2007, 09:12:42 UTC |

If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes, here is a link to that thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6 No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking that the device does not support blanking properly. I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL. It claims it wants to do this in order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here: if (fb_blank(info, blank)) fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank); to software blank the screen. But it only causes that to happen in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case. That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this: val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS; in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

| 5a39e8c | Aristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho | 01 March 2007, 04:13:53 UTC | [PATCH] tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close path This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index. When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then pty_close() is called: if (tty->driver->close) tty->driver->close(tty, filp); This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(), being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed: #ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS if (tty->driver == ptm_driver) devpts_pty_kill(tty->index); #endif But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index: driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index); if (!driver) { mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex); return -ENODEV; } This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev(). Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track: /* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */ if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) { tty = devpts_get_tty(idx); if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER) tty = tty->link; } else { tty = driver->ttys[idx]; } if (tty) goto fast_track; The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume. Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still has it. Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0, because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0, slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr index. This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a customer's critical application, it's never too simple: thread1: opens master, gets index X thread1: begin closing master thread2: begin opening slave with index X thread1: finishes closing master, index X released thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <---- thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use and healthy tty and fails If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid. The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev() won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex. Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings like this one: idr_remove called for id=15 which is not allocated.

| 8a2bfdc | Mingming Cao | 01 March 2007, 04:13:35 UTC | [PATCH] ext[34]: EA block reference count racing fix There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block (h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it. Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious problem might happen. We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in- the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it). This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all. We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer () as well).

It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of 0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be reused. However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and was unmapped as a result. Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to use the VDSO. The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to use the host's VDSO.

| 1499993 | Sam Ravnborg | 01 March 2007, 04:12:31 UTC | [PATCH] fix section mismatch warning in lockdep lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places outside __init code. This causes following warnings: $ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2) The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not altered. Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which seems obviously wrong.

The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was scheduled away.

| f416885 | NeilBrown | 01 March 2007, 04:11:53 UTC | [PATCH] md: add support for reshape of a raid6 i.e. one or more drives can be added and the array will re-stripe while on-line. Most of the interesting work was already done for raid5. This just extends it to raid6. mdadm newer than 2.6 is needed for complete safety, however any version of mdadm which support raid5 reshape will do a good enough job in almost all cases (an 'echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action' is recommended after a reshape that was aborted and had to be restarted with an such a version of mdadm).

| b4c4c7b | NeilBrown | 01 March 2007, 04:11:48 UTC | [PATCH] md: restart a (raid5) reshape that has been aborted due to a read/write error An error always aborts any resync/recovery/reshape on the understanding that it will immediately be restarted if that still makes sense. However a reshape currently doesn't get restarted. With this patch it does. To avoid restarting when it is not possible to do work, we call into the personality to check that a reshape is ok, and strengthen raid5_check_reshape to fail if there are too many failed devices. We also break some code out into a separate function: remove_and_add_spares as the indent level for that code was getting crazy.
