80d02d2 drivers/w1/masters/omap_hdq.c: add missing clk_put This code makes two calls to clk_get, then test both return values and fails if either failed. The problem is that in the first inner if, where the first call to clk_get has failed, it don't know if the second call has failed as well. So it don't know whether clk_get should be called on the result of the second call. Of course, it would be possible to test that value again. A simpler solution is just to test the result of calling clk_get directly after each call. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ position p1,p2; expression e; statement S; @@ e = clk_get@p1(...) ... if@p2 (IS_ERR(e)) S @@ expression e; statement S; identifier l; position r.p1, p2 != r.p2; @@ *e = clk_get@p1(...) ... when != clk_put(e) *if@p2 (...) { ... when != clk_put(e) * return ...; }// </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Amit Kucheria <amit.kucheria@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 12 February 2011, 00:12:20 UTC

f0fdc5e vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done Commit 3e7d34497067 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim") introduced an indefinite loop in shrink_zone(). It meant to break out of this loop when no pages had been reclaimed and not a single page was even scanned. The way it would detect the latter is by taking a snapshot of sc->nr_scanned at the beginning of the function and comparing it against the new sc->nr_scanned after the scan loop. But it would re-iterate without updating that snapshot, looping forever if sc->nr_scanned changed at least once since shrink_zone() was invoked. This is not the sole condition that would exit that loop, but it requires other processes to change the zone state, as the reclaimer that is stuck obviously can not anymore. This is only happening for higher-order allocations, where reclaim is run back to back with compaction.

419d8c9 mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault() If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW. However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present), so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.

e15f8c0 mlock: fix race when munlocking pages in do_wp_page() vmscan can lazily find pages that are mapped within VM_LOCKED vmas, and set the PageMlocked bit on these pages, transfering them onto the unevictable list. When do_wp_page() breaks COW within a VM_LOCKED vma, it may need to clear PageMlocked on the old page and set it on the new page instead. This change fixes an issue where do_wp_page() was clearing PageMlocked on the old page while the pte was still pointing to it (as well as rmap). Therefore, we were not protected against vmscan immediately transfering the old page back onto the unevictable list. This could cause pages to get stranded there forever. I propose to move the corresponding code to the end of do_wp_page(), after the pte (and rmap) have been pointed to the new page. Additionally, we can use munlock_vma_page() instead of clear_page_mlock(), so that the old page stays mlocked if there are still other VM_LOCKED vmas mapping it.

de1f016 nbd: remove module-level ioctl mutex Commit 2a48fc0ab242417 ("block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex") replaced uses of the BKL in the nbd driver with mutex operations.

However, that other ioctl blocks, waiting for the module-level mutex that replaced the BKL, and then we're stuck. This patch removes the module-level mutex altogether. It's clearly wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.

01e05e9 ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach() The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be dangerous. The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state. This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

d863b50 vfs: call rcu_barrier after ->kill_sb() In commit fa0d7e3de6d6 ("fs: icache RCU free inodes"), we use rcu free inode instead of freeing the inode directly. It causes a crash when we rmmod immediately after we umount the volume[1]. So we need to call rcu_barrier after we kill_sb so that the inode is freed before we do rmmod. The idea is inspired by Aneesh Kumar. rcu_barrier will wait for all callbacks to end before preceding. The original patch was done by Tao Ma, but synchronize_rcu() is not enough here. 1. http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=129680863330185&w=2 Tested-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 12 February 2011, 00:12:19 UTC
2dab597 Fix possible filp_cachep memory corruption In commit 31e6b01f4183 ("fs: rcu-walk for path lookup") we started doing path lookup using RCU, which then falls back to a careful non-RCU lookup in case of problems (LOOKUP_REVAL). So do_filp_open() has this "re-do the lookup carefully" looping case. However, that means that we must not release the open-intent file data if we are going to loop around and use it once more! Fix this by moving the release of the open-intent data to the function that allocates it (do_filp_open() itself) rather than the helper functions that can get called multiple times (finish_open() and do_last()). This makes the logic for the lifetime of that field much more obvious, and avoids the possible double free. Reported-by: J. R.

Re-instate CAP_SYS_ADMIN - but keeping the warning - as an acceptable capability until any legacy applications have been updated. There are apparently applications out there that drop all capabilities except for CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to access the syslog.

02a8f01 cfq-iosched: Don't wait if queue already has requests. Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request), so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the queue. This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices do not expire early. The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers. Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

c317428 netfilter: nf_conntrack: set conntrack templates again if we return NF_REPEAT The TCP tracking code has a special case that allows to return NF_REPEAT if we receive a new SYN packet while in TIME_WAIT state.

8d3bdbd net: Fix lockdep regression caused by initializing netdev queues too early. In commit aa9421041128abb4d269ee1dc502ff65fb3b7d69 ("net: init ingress queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late. The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup() callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the queues. Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback runs. This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations, etc.). It may, however, make state changes that are undone by free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the ipoib driver's setup routine). The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace object on RX/TX queue allocation failures. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 08 February 2011, 23:02:50 UTC
b2df5a8 net/caif: Fix dangling list pointer in freed object on error. rtnl_link_ops->setup(), and the "setup" callback passed to alloc_netdev*(), cannot make state changes which need to be undone on failure. There is no cleanup mechanism available at this point. So we have to add the caif private instance to the global list once we are sure that register_netdev() has succedded in ->newlink(). Otherwise, if register_netdev() fails, the caller will invoke free_netdev() and we will have a reference to freed up memory on the chnl_net_list. Signed-off-by: David S.

02214dc FIX: md: process hangs at wait_barrier after 0->10 takeover Following symptoms were observed: 1. After raid0->raid10 takeover operation we have array with 2 missing disks. When we add disk for rebuild, recovery process starts as expected but it does not finish- it stops at about 90%, md126_resync process hangs in "D" state. 2. Similar behavior is when we have mounted raid0 array and we execute takeover to raid10. After this when we try to unmount array- it causes process umount hangs in "D" In scenarios above processes hang at the same function- wait_barrier in raid10.c. Process waits in macro "wait_event_lock_irq" until the "!conf->barrier" condition will be true. In scenarios above it never happens. Reason was that at the end of level_store, after calling pers->run, we call mddev_resume. This calls pers->quiesce(mddev, 0) with RAID10, that calls lower_barrier. However raise_barrier hadn't been called on that 'conf' yet, so conf->barrier becomes negative, which is bad. This patch introduces setting conf->barrier=1 after takeover operation. It prevents to become barrier negative after call lower_barrier(). Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Wojcik <krzysztof.wojcik@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 08 February 2011, 00:49:02 UTC

95c3043 x25: possible skb leak on bad facilities Originally x25_parse_facilities returned -1 for an error 0 meaning 0 length facilities >0 the length of the facilities parsed. 5ef41308f94dc ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing a6331d6f9a429 ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing. The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers. If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts. So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

fc7c976 mac80211: fix the skb cloned check in the tx path Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb. Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra head/tailroom was needed: commit 4cd06a344db752f513437138953af191cbe9a691 mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls It added a regression at least with iwl3945, which is fixed by this patch.

7c28938 ALSA: AACI: allow writes to MAINCR to take effect The AACI TRM requires the MAINCR enable bit to be held zero for two bitclk cycles plus three apb_pclk cycles. Use a delay of 1us to ensure this. Ensure that writes to MAINCR to change the addressed codec only happen when required, and that they take effect in a similar manner to the above, otherwise we seem to occasionally have stuck slot busy bits.

This happens before we set up the proper pagetables, so set_memory_x() has no effect. Until we have a better solution, use an initcall to mark the wakeup code executable.

Don't look at all the VPHN counts, only distance_ref_points_depth worth.

1f1936f powerpc: Fix some 6xx/7xxx CPU setup functions Some of those functions try to adjust the CPU features, for example to remove NAP support on some revisions. However, they seem to use r5 as an index into the CPU table entry, which might have been right a long time ago but no longer is. r4 is the right register to use. This probably caused some off behaviours on some PowerMac variants using 750cx or 7455 processor revisions.

af9eef3 powerpc: Pass the right cpu_spec to ->setup_cpu() on 64-bit When calling setup_cpu() on 64-bit, we pass a pointer to the cputable entry we have found. This used to be fine when cur_cpu_spec was a pointer to that entry, but nowadays, we copy the entry into a separate variable, and we do so before we call the setup_cpu() callback. That means that any attempt by that callback at patching the CPU table entry (to adjust CPU features for example) will patch the wrong table.
