| ff4547f | Tobias Powalowski | 23 May 2006, 05:35:28 UTC | [PATCH] tty_insert_flip_string_flags() license fix We still don't have the tty layer licensing compatibility quite right. tty_insert_flip_char() used to be inlined in include/linux/tty_flip.h. It is now out-of-lined and hence needs EXPORT_SYMBOL() to be back-compatible. One known offender is the Intel Modem driver.

| 5c4c333 | NeilBrown | 23 May 2006, 05:35:26 UTC | [PATCH] md: fix possible oops when starting a raid0 array This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems. Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur' and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop. This should ring warning bells... That last time through the loop, size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address. This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

| e984bb4 | Bob Picco | 20 May 2006, 22:00:31 UTC | [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

The remote timer ticks can increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can end up with 1) No softirq pending 2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies 3) No high resolution timer active 4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value. In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows, because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies, but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the wheel (jiffies_base).

| bdd804f | Paul Jackson | 20 May 2006, 22:00:09 UTC | [PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006.

This causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is overwritten is a pointer.

| 8c7b389 | Peter Staubach | 20 May 2006, 21:59:56 UTC | [PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious value Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check" export option. The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client. The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again. In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the server for a particular user. A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

Clarke | 20 May 2006, 21:59:51 UTC | [PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have easy access to... I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32 box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals, on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch. I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as well. Signed-off-by: Paul A.

| ee7abb0 | Stephen Hemminger | 18 May 2006, 18:16:21 UTC | [PATCH] sky2: allow dual port usage If both ports are receiving on the SysKonnect dual port cards, then it appears the bus interface unit can give an interrupt status for frame before DMA has completed. This leads to bogus frames and general confusion. This is why receive checksumming is also messed up on dual port cards. A workaround for the out of order receive problem is to eliminating split transactions on PCI-X. This version is based of the current linux-2.6.git including earlier patch to disable dual ports.

| dd2d1c6 | Vladislav Yasevich | 19 May 2006, 18:52:20 UTC | [SCTP]: Respect the real chunk length when walking parameters. When performing bound checks during the parameter processing, we want to use the real chunk and paramter lengths for bounds instead of the rounded ones.

| 61c9fed | Vladislav Yasevich | 19 May 2006, 18:01:18 UTC | [SCTP]: A better solution to fix the race between sctp_peeloff() and sctp_rcv(). The goal is to hold the ref on the association/endpoint throughout the state-machine process. We accomplish like this: /* ref on the assoc/ep is taken during lookup */ if owned_by_user(sk) sctp_add_backlog(skb, sk); else inqueue_push(skb, sk); /* drop the ref on the assoc/ep */ However, in sctp_add_backlog() we take the ref on assoc/ep and hold it while the skb is on the backlog queue. This allows us to get rid of the sock_hold/sock_put in the lookup routines. Now sctp_backlog_rcv() needs to account for potential association move. In the unlikely event that association moved, we need to retest if the new socket is locked by user. If we don't this, we may have two packets racing up the stack toward the same socket and we can't deal with it. If the new socket is still locked, we'll just add the skb to its backlog continuing to hold the ref on the association. This get's rid of the need to move packets from one backlog to another and it also safe in case new packets arrive on the same backlog queue. The last step, is to lock the new socket when we are moving the association to it. This is needed in case any new packets arrive on the association when it moved. We want these to go to the backlog since we would like to avoid the race between this new packet and a packet that may be sitting on the backlog queue of the old socket toward the same association.

| 2c8ac66 | Solar Designer | 19 May 2006, 09:16:52 UTC | [NETFILTER]: Fix do_add_counters race, possible oops or info leak (CVE-2006-0039) Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below (t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE() would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or from another VPS) via counter increments.
