dd12f48 [PATCH] NPTL signal delivery deadlock fix This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover. Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for high volume call processing.

2ad5649 [PATCH] iSeries build with newer assemblers and compilers Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can generate a .s file to be included into head.S. This doesn't get around the problem of having it at a fixed address, but it makes it more palatable. It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc. In particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable using their biarch compiler. This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

c8ac377 [TCP]: Fix bug #5070: kernel BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:864 1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off. 2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU. 3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented since it was created before the ICMP event. The first fragment is then sent out. At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment. However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long. This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head. 4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of of the fragment. 5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU. At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being fed to tso_fragment which bombs out. My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended. So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used in this case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

65e4308 [PATCH] NFS: Ensure we always update inode->i_mode when doing O_EXCL creates When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing, a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits. The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value (as per the NFS spec). The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777. Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

3edea48 [PATCH] intelfb/fbdev: Save info->flags in a local variable Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059) The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after switching to anot console and back. Steps to reproduce: initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60 1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60) 2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100 tty1: 800x600-100 3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1 tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting) This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected. The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any of the driver hooks. A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that is set by core fbdev/fbcon.

b5da623 [TCP]: Adjust {p,f}ackets_out correctly in tcp_retransmit_skb() Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion failure in tcp_mark_head_lost. First of all, this can only occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here. If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems. So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering. Normally fackets_out is less than packets_out. The only reason I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored in the TSO skb. This might occur as the result of an expiring dst entry. In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in tcp_output.c). However, fackets_out is unchanged which means that it may in fact exceed packets_out. Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing fackets_out. So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate amount here as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

d64d387 [NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com> sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall! This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a new iovec structure. Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed. I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the problem: http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

db29e85 [PATCH] i2o: remove new configuration API Remove new configuration API from i2o_config The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in the kernel config now). It is removed because it creates a new binary sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k. Expect for the Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute doesn't make sense anywhere else. Until the sysfs API provides an attribute which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i provide a separate patch...

3077a26 [PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set. For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock can be seen every few days. If you are not using the cpuset notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock. The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did: get cpuset_sem if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release: compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path drop cpuset_sem Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values changed in the interim. This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task. To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem. So the new logic is: get cpuset_sem if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release: compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point stash path in kmalloc'd buffer drop cpuset_sem call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path free path The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any calls to kmalloc. The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path. In the old code, it just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper(). In the new code, with the application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char **ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(), which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped. Whereas the old code has just one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release() routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the various places that a cpuset can be released. This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.

5c44cd2 [SCSI] fix target scanning oops with fc transport class We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport. The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport() routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer. Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses: - If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport, we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent. - We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport (parent=rport).
