| 159d833 | Patrick McHardy | 14 April 2008, 07:46:01 UTC | [BRIDGE]: Fix crash in __ip_route_output_key with bridge netfilter The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when dereferencing the namespace pointer. Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace, the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the fake net_device struct to &init_net.

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.

| 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.

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.

| 951e07c | David S. Miller | 10 April 2008, 08:29:36 UTC | [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt(). This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371. As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a char sized socket option value, as in: unsigned char ttl = 255; socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl); setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little- endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written with garbage. It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt(): if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) { It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it copies a full 'int' back to userspace. On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three bytes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> | 10 April 2008, 08:29:36 UTC |
| 4faa3c8 | Fabio Checconi | 10 April 2008, 06:28:01 UTC | cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can trigger that is the following: - elevator switch from cfq to something else; - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context() on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op); - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq; - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key). To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(), that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

| e6957ea | Eric Sandeen | 10 April 2008, 02:19:34 UTC | [XFS] Ensure "both" features2 slots are consistent Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags, rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the sb_features2 value. Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current session will use the feature. Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as: XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for something else later on.

| d786a4a | David S. Miller | 10 April 2008, 02:39:25 UTC | [SPARC]: Fix several regset and ptrace bugs. 1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view() 2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and the target is 32-bit, we have to convert. 3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if the user isn't asking to access anything in there. Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have an address space setup. Fetching ptrace register is still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try to access the register window area of the regset. Signed-off-by: David S.

| f4be31e | Steven Rostedt | 09 April 2008, 23:04:07 UTC | pop previous section in alternative.c gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type. The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when executing this code. This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the original section. Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel. ;-) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> | 10 April 2008, 01:38:08 UTC |

Turns out that isn't the case and we could fall over a BUG_ON() that wasn't a BUG at all. Since there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch just leaves the sb alone and the first set of options wins.
