| 89a8640 | David Howells | 30 October 2009, 13:13:26 UTC | NOMMU: Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in do_mmap_pgoff() Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

| 246eb7f | Kevin Hilman | 26 October 2009, 23:50:18 UTC | cpuidle: always return with interrupts enabled In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled. The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were eventually re-enabled later. On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it. As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of any actual bugs triggered by this. It's primarily a correctness/consistency fix. This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning.

It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.

Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator. For example this line, + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \ is correct but it produces the following error, ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB) + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\ ^ The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors.

| 156edd4 | Jeff Roberson | 26 October 2009, 23:50:09 UTC | edac: i5400 fix csrow mapping The i5400 EDAC driver has several bugs with chip-select row computation which most likely lead to bugs in detailed error reporting. Attempts to contact the authors have gone mostly unanswered so I am presenting my diff here. I do not subscribe to lkml and would appreciate being kept in the cc. The most egregious problem was miscalculating the addresses of MTR registers after register 0 by assuming they are 32bit rather than 16. This caused the driver to miss half of the memories. Most motherboards tend to have only 8 dimm slots and not 16, so this may not have been noticed before. Further, the row calculations multiplied the number of dimms several times, ultimately ending up with a maximum row of 32. The chipset only supports 4 dimms in each of 4 channels, so csrow could not be higher than 4 unless you use a row per-rank with dual-rank dimms. I opted to eliminate this behavior as it is confusing to the user and the error reporting works by slot and not rank. This gives a much clearer view of memory by slot and channel in /sys.

Otherwise we hit the section mismatch warning: WARNING: drivers/gpio/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0x71a): Section mismatch in reference from the function _gpio_twl4030_probe() to the function .devexit.text:_gpio_twl4030_remove() The function __devinit _gpio_twl4030_probe() references a function __devexit _gpio_twl4030_remove(). This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of _gpio_twl4030_remove() so it may be used outside an exit section.

| 6a7b954 | Johannes Weiner | 26 October 2009, 23:50:00 UTC | vmscan: order evictable rescue in LRU putback Isolators putting a page back to the LRU do not hold the page lock, and if the page is mlocked, another thread might munlock it concurrently. Expecting this, the putback code re-checks the evictability of a page when it just moved it to the unevictable list in order to correct its decision. The problem, however, is that ordering is not garuanteed between setting PG_lru when moving the page to the list and checking PG_mlocked afterwards: #0: #1 spin_lock() if (TestClearPageMlocked()) if (PageLRU()) move to evictable list SetPageLRU() spin_unlock() if (!PageMlocked()) move to evictable list The PageMlocked() check may get reordered before SetPageLRU() in #0, resulting in #0 not moving the still mlocked page, and in #1 failing to isolate and move the page as well. The page is now stranded on the unevictable list. The race condition is very unlikely. The consequence currently is one page falling off the reclaim grid and eventually getting freed with PG_unevictable set, which triggers a warning in the page allocator. TestClearPageMlocked() in #1 already provides full memory barrier semantics. This patch adds an explicit full barrier to force ordering between SetPageLRU() and PageMlocked() so that either one of the competitors rescues the page.

| 5c36fe3 | Ben Hutchings | 26 October 2009, 23:49:51 UTC | hfsplus: refuse to mount volumes larger than 2TB As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32 rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations. In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does: u32 ablock, dblock, mask; ... map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock << HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock & mask)); I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number may be truncated. For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+ volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).

After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from __set_special_pids to sys_setsid. We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM. One last thing: There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an additional patch (Scott?)

Just skip it. We could fix it for 2.6.32 at the KSM end, by putting a dummy anon_vma pointer in there; but that would get harder next time, when KSM will put a pointer to something else there (and I'm not currently planning to do any work to open that up to memory_failure).

Setup that demonstrates this hardware bug: Ultra 5, onboard CMD646, rev 3. /dev/hda is 8GB Seagate ST38410A in MWDMA2 /dev/hdd is 32GB SSD SiliconHardDisk in MWDMA2 - When reading /dev/hdd (for example with dd or fsck), reads from /dev/hda are corrupted, there are twiddled single bits 1->0 and some full 32-bit words corrupted, sometimes commands fail (which switches /dev/hda to PIO mode but the corruptions happen even in PIO). - Reads from /dev/hdd don't seem to be corrupted (i.e. fsck passes fine). - When I connected normal rotating harddisk to /dev/hdd, there was no corruption, so the corruption is something specific to SSD. - I tried the same setup on a PCI card with CMD649 and saw no corruption. This patch serializes the operation for CMD646 and 643 (I didn't test CMD643 but it may have the same hw bug too because it's earlier design). CMD649 is good. I don't know anything about CMD 648.

Apparently when using AF_RAW sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation, people could panic or BUG halt their systems. I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1. Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number, one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call. In raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid. Later during ipsec encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff to provide headroom for the ipsec headers. During this operation, the skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl). Since so little data was passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes. This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket. If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL. I just confirmed this fixes the reported crashes. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the handler with the IOCTL macro. If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time (even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage.

But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable.

Tsirkin | 22 October 2009, 13:06:06 UTC | virtio-pci: fix per-vq MSI-X request logic Commit f68d24082e22ccee3077d11aeb6dc5354f0ca7f1 in 2.6.32-rc1 broke requesting IRQs for per-VQ MSI-X vectors: - vector number was used instead of the vector itself - we try to request an IRQ for VQ which does not have a callback handler This is a regression that causes warnings in kernel log, potentially lower performance as we need to scan vq list, and might cause system failure if the interrupt requested is in fact needed by another system. This was not noticed earlier because in most cases we were falling back on shared interrupt for all vqs. The warnings often look like this: virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 28 for MSI/MSI-X IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 1 current handler: i8042 Pid: 2400, comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 2.6.32-rc3-11952-gf3ed8d8-dirty #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81072aed>] ? __setup_irq+0x299/0x304 [<ffffffff81072ff3>] ? request_threaded_irq+0x144/0x1c1 [<ffffffff813455af>] ? vring_interrupt+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff81346598>] ? vp_try_to_find_vqs+0x583/0x5c7 [<ffffffffa0015188>] ? skb_recv_done+0x0/0x34 [virtio_net] [<ffffffff81346609>] ? vp_find_vqs+0x2d/0x83 [<ffffffff81345d00>] ? vp_get+0x3c/0x4e [<ffffffffa0016373>] ? virtnet_probe+0x2f1/0x428 [virtio_net] [<ffffffffa0015188>] ? skb_recv_done+0x0/0x34 [virtio_net] [<ffffffffa00150d8>] ? skb_xmit_done+0x0/0x39 [virtio_net] [<ffffffff8110ab92>] ? sysfs_do_create_link+0xcb/0x116 [<ffffffff81345cc2>] ? vp_get_status+0x14/0x16 [<ffffffff81345464>] ? virtio_dev_probe+0xa9/0xc8 [<ffffffff8122b11c>] ? driver_probe_device+0x8d/0x128 [<ffffffff8122b206>] ? __driver_attach+0x4f/0x6f [<ffffffff8122b1b7>] ? __driver_attach+0x0/0x6f [<ffffffff8122a9f9>] ? bus_for_each_dev+0x43/0x74 [<ffffffff8122a374>] ? bus_add_driver+0xea/0x22d [<ffffffff8122b4a3>] ? driver_register+0xa7/0x111 [<ffffffffa001a000>] ? init+0x0/0xc [virtio_net] [<ffffffff81009051>] ? do_one_initcall+0x50/0x148 [<ffffffff8106e117>] ? sys_init_module+0xc5/0x21a [<ffffffff8100af02>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X Reported-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Reported-by: Shirley Ma <xma@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Unfortunately this blows up ia64 for large NR_CPUS configuration, as ia64 allows only 64k for .percpu section. Fix this by allocating this array dynamically and keep only pointer to it percpu.

| 403a91b | Jiri Kosina | 28 October 2009, 15:25:59 UTC | percpu: allow pcpu_alloc() to be called with IRQs off pcpu_alloc() and pcpu_extend_area_map() perform a series of spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() calls, which make them unsafe with respect to being called from contexts which have IRQs off. This patch converts the code to perform save/restore of flags instead, making pcpu_alloc() (or __alloc_percpu() respectively) to be called from early kernel startup stage, where IRQs are off. This is needed for proper initialization of per-cpu rq_weight data from sched_init(). tj: added comment explaining why irqsave/restore is used in alloc path.
