818c7e8 [IA64] update efi region debugging to use MB, GB and TB as well as KB When EFI_DEBUG is defined to a non-zero value in arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c, the efi memory regions are displayed. This patch enhances the display code in a few ways: 1. Use TB, GB and MB as well as KB as units. Although this introduces rounding errors (KB doesn't as size is always a multiple of 4Kb), it does make things a lot more readable. Also as the range is also shown, it is possible to note the exact size if it is important. In my experience, the size field is mostly useful for getting a general idea of the size of a region. On the rx2620 that I use, there actually is an 8TB region (though not backed by physical memory, and 8TB really is a lot more readable than 8589934592KB. 2. pad the size field with leading spaces to further improve readability ... ... ( 8MB) ... ( 928MB) ... ( 3MB) ... vs ... ... (8MB) ... (928MB) ... (3MB) ... 3. Pad the attr field out to 64bits using leading zeros, to further improve readability. ... mem05: type= 2, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x0000000004000000-0x000000000481f000) ( 8MB) mem06: type= 7, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x000000000481f000-0x000000003e876000) ( 928MB) mem07: type= 5, attr=0x8000000000000008, range=[0x000000003e876000-0x000000003eb8e000) ( 3MB) mem08: type= 4, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x000000003eb8e000-0x000000003ee7a000) ( 2MB) ... ... mem05: type= 2, attr=0x8, range=[0x0000000004000000-0x000000000481f000) ( 8MB) mem06: type= 7, attr=0x8, range=[0x000000000481f000-0x000000003e876000) ( 928MB) mem07: type= 5, attr=0x8000000000000008, range=[0x000000003e876000-0x000000003eb8e000) ( 3MB) mem08: type= 4, attr=0x8, range=[0x000000003eb8e000-0x000000003ee7a000) ( 2MB) ... 4.

However, it was redundantly listed in asm-mn10300/Kbuild and asm-x86/Kbuild too. Remove those as well, so it really stops being exported on those architectures.

2f40a17 [CRYPTO] xcbc: Fix crash with IPsec When using aes-xcbc-mac for authentication in IPsec, the kernel crashes. It seems this algorithm doesn't account for the space IPsec may make in scatterlist for authtag. Thus when crypto_xcbc_digest_update2() gets called, nbytes may be less than sg[i].length. Since nbytes is an unsigned number, it wraps at the end of the loop allowing us to go back into loop and causing crash in memcpy. I used update function in digest.c to model this fix.

92d9cd1 [XFS] 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 xfsaild causing too many wakeups Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not. Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle state and set the timeout appropriately.

fcb1fec fb: pvr2fb: Fix up remaining section mismatch. Building with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y reports: CC drivers/video/pvr2fb.o LD drivers/video/built-in.o WARNING: drivers/video/built-in.o(.text+0xb9b0): Section mismatch in reference from the function pvr2fb_check_var() to the variable .devinit.data:pvr2_fix The function pvr2fb_check_var() references the variable __devinitdata pvr2_fix. This is often because pvr2fb_check_var lacks a __devinitdata annotation or the annotation of pvr2_fix is wrong. This is obviously crap as no such reference exists, but it's a bit closer to reality from older versions which blamed the PCI table. The real problem was a reference to pvr2_var.vmode from pvr2fb_check_var(), as pvr2_var is flagged as __devinitdata (pvr2_fix is also, so at least that part is right). pvr2_var.vmode is just a fancy way of saying FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, so we just reference that explicitly instead.

f9c3a38 NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount options NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS specific knowledge built in. This design was approved by both groups back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile solution. This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own mount options. The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount options for filesystems which use text mount data. This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression. I will be adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3 code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

e000752 LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount options Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc').

348e1e0 hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpuset Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there. There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

ac09b3a hugetlb: close a difficult to trigger reservation race A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the following series of events in processes A and B: A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation B) Frees some huge pages A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator. B) Allocates some huge pages A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages() Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages(). This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may have been allocated to back the failed reservation.

a07e6ab md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlock This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the 2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework. Abstract: When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the resync threads of md RAID10 could stall. This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will fail because of resource busy. The deadlock mechanism: The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in end_sync_write(). If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining" should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter mismatch. For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case: Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_] [>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled. An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock. md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__] [=>...................] recovery = 5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec 2739 ?

1c83053 md: fix possible raid1/raid10 deadlock on read error during resync Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing. If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem.

8ed3a19 md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layouts This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the disk with the lowest block address. Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting of the first band of stripes. Some advantages: The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the inner blocks. Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the first part of the disks. Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk. If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

27c529b md: lock access to rdev attributes properly When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become NULL while we are accessing it. So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show. rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the function.

2515619 md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-write A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is marked read-only. So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to wake up thread resync thread. There is one place we didn't do this. The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5 array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started. The array will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until the first write). So the reshape will not proceed. On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

8311c29 md: reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap On an md array with a write-intent bitmap, a thread wakes up every few seconds and scans the bitmap looking for work to do. If the array is idle, there will be no work to do, but a lot of scanning is done to discover this. So cache the fact that the bitmap is completely clean, and avoid scanning the whole bitmap when the cache is known to be clean.

a35e63e md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read error When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while attempting to over-write with correct data. This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze). However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to finish that themselves need attention from raid1d. So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

3715863 iommu: export iommu_is_span_boundary helper function iommu_is_span_boundary is used internally in the IOMMU helper (lib/iommu-helper.c), a primitive function that judges whether a memory area spans LLD's segment boundary or not.

e4465fd eCryptfs: make ecryptfs_prepare_write decrypt the page When the page is not up to date, ecryptfs_prepare_write() should be acting much like ecryptfs_readpage(). This includes the painfully obvious step of actually decrypting the page contents read from the lower encrypted file. Note that this patch resolves a bug in eCryptfs in 2.6.24 that one can produce with these steps: # mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret # echo "abc" > /secret/file.txt # umount /secret # mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret # echo "def" >> /secret/file.txt # cat /secret/file.txt Without this patch, the resulting data returned from cat is likely to be something other than "abc\ndef\n".
