dacd254 Kenji Kaneshige 26 May 2009, 00:08:03 UTC PCI/ACPI: fix wrong ref count handling in acpi_pci_bind() The 'dev' field of struct acpi_pci_data is having a pointer to struct pci_dev without incrementing the reference counter. Because of this, I got the following kernel oops when I was doing some pci hotplug operations. This patch fixes this bug by replacing wrong hand-made pci_find_slot() with pci_get_slot() in acpi_pci_bind().

a0d24b2 Wei Yongjun 19 May 2009, 04:03:15 UTC nfsd: fix hung up of nfs client while sync write data to nfs server Commit 'Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client' (31dec2538e45e9fff2007ea1f4c6bae9f78db724) broken the sync write. With the following commands to reproduce: $ mount -t nfs -o sync 192.168.0.21:/nfsroot /mnt $ cd /mnt $ echo aaaa > temp.txt Then nfs client is hung up. In SYNC mode the server alaways return the write count 0 to the client. This is because the value of host_err in nfsd_vfs_write() will be overwrite in SYNC mode by 'host_err=nfsd_sync(file);', and then we return host_err(which is now 0) as write count. This patch fixed the problem. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> 27 May 2009, 21:40:06 UTC

07f4f3e Kristian Høgsberg 27 May 2009, 18:37:28 UTC i915: Set object to gtt domain when faulting it back in When a GEM object is evicted from the GTT we set it to the CPU domain, as it might get swapped in and out or ever mmapped regularly. If the object is mmapped through the GTT it can still get evicted in this way by other objects requiring GTT space. When the GTT mapping is touched again we fault it back into the GTT, but fail to set it back to the GTT domain. This means we fail to flush any cached CPU writes to the pages backing the object which will then happen "eventually", typically after we write to the page through the uncached GTT mapping. [anholt: Note that userland does do a set_domain(GTT, GTT) when starting to access the GTT mapping. That covers getting the existing mapping of the object synchronized if it's bound to the GTT. But set_domain(GTT, GTT) doesn't do anything if the object is currently unbound. This fix covers the transition to being bound for GTT mapping.] Fixes glyph and other pixmap corruption during swapping. fd.o bug #21790 Signed-off-by: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> 27 May 2009, 20:06:47 UTC

9d911d7 Alex Chiang 21 May 2009, 22:21:15 UTC PCI Hotplug: acpiphp: don't store a pci_dev in acpiphp_func An oops can occur if a user attempts to use both PCI logical hotplug and the ACPI physical hotplug driver (acpiphp) in this sequence, where $slot/address == $device. In other words, if acpiphp has claimed a PCI device, and that device is logically removed, then acpiphp may oops when it attempts to access it again. # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove # echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/$slot/power Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000000) Call Trace: [<a000000100016390>] show_stack+0x50/0xa0 [<a000000100016c60>] show_regs+0x820/0x860 [<a00000010003b390>] die+0x190/0x2a0 [<a000000100066a40>] ia64_do_page_fault+0x8e0/0xa40 [<a00000010000c7a0>] ia64_native_leave_kernel+0x0/0x270 [<a0000001003b2660>] pci_remove_bus_device+0x120/0x260 [<a0000002060549f0>] acpiphp_disable_slot+0x410/0x540 [acpiphp] [<a0000002060505c0>] disable_slot+0xc0/0x120 [acpiphp] [<a0000002040d21c0>] power_write_file+0x1e0/0x2a0 [pci_hotplug] [<a0000001003bb820>] pci_slot_attr_store+0x60/0xa0 [<a000000100240f70>] sysfs_write_file+0x230/0x2c0 [<a000000100195750>] vfs_write+0x190/0x2e0 [<a0000001001961a0>] sys_write+0x80/0x100 [<a00000010000c600>] ia64_ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x20 [<a000000000010720>] __kernel_syscall_via_break+0x0/0x20 The root cause of this oops is that the logical remove ("echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove") destroyed the pci_dev. The pci_dev struct itself wasn't deallocated because acpiphp kept a reference, but some of its fields became invalid. acpiphp doesn't have any real reason to keep a pointer to a pci_dev around. It can always derive it using pci_get_slot(). If a logical remove destroys the pci_dev, acpiphp won't find it and is thus prevented from causing mischief.

8b31e49 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 27 May 2009, 03:50:33 UTC powerpc: Fix up dma_alloc_coherent() on platforms without cache coherency. The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes.

84532a0 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 27 May 2009, 03:33:14 UTC Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer" This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

cfa16a0 Eric Anholt 27 May 2009, 01:46:16 UTC drm/i915: Apply a big hammer to 865 GEM object CPU cache flushing. On the 865, but not the 855, the clflush we do appears to not actually make it out to the hardware all the time. An easy way to safely reproduce was X -retro, which would show that some of the blits involved in drawing the lovely root weave didn't make it out to the hardware. Those blits are 32 bytes each, and 1-2 would be missing at various points around the screen. Other experimentation (doing more clflush, doing more AGP chipset flush, poking at some more device registers to maybe trigger more flushing) didn't help. krh came up with the wbinvd as a way to successfully get all those blits to appear.

e76a16d Eric Anholt 27 May 2009, 00:44:56 UTC drm/i915: Fix tiling pitch handling on 8xx. The pitch field is an exponent on pre-965, so we were rejecting buffers on 8xx that we shouldn't have. 915 got lucky in that the largest legal value happened to match (8KB / 512 = 0x10), but 8xx has a smaller tile width. Additionally, we programmed that bad value into the register on 8xx, so the only pitch that would work correctly was 4096 (512-1023 pixels), while others would probably give bad rendering or hangs.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value: "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid] rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz." As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems, e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82 processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz) powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz) powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz) But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it correctly: #x86info -a |grep Pstate ... Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz) Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz) Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current) Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead of using rounded values from ACPI table.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to dbs_timer_exit(). Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place (replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work). Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section : cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev() ... if (cpufreq_driver->target) __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP); unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu); To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without being nested within the rwsem. Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree. Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed unneeded.

f11a377 David Dillow 22 May 2009, 15:29:34 UTC r8169: avoid losing MSI interrupts The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not see a new interrupt. The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all sources quiescent.

46176b4 Tejun Heo 26 May 2009, 05:42:40 UTC x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel. The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs. R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered error. When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section, binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail. The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right thing to do. The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

Linux relies on this behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot. The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes to PSE and PGE. This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Thus the conntrack entry is destroyed but the destination retransmits data until timeout. The same technique, i.e. sending properly crafted RST segments, can easily be used to bypass connlimit/connbytes based restrictions (the sample script written by Robert can be found in the netfilter mailing list archives). The patch below adds a new flag and new field to struct ip_ct_tcp_state so that checking RST segments can be made more strict and thus TCP conntrack can catch the invalid ones: the RST segment is accepted only if its sequence number higher than or equal to the highest ack we seen from the other direction. (The last_ack field cannot be reused because it is used to catch resent packets.)

4e2fd55 Lennert Buytenhek 25 May 2009, 07:42:34 UTC gianfar: fix BUG under load after introduction of skb recycling Since commit 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar: Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD. The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put(). Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned invariant, and should fix this issue.

8db14ca Steve French 23 May 2009, 18:57:25 UTC [CIFS] Avoid open on possible directories since Samba now rejects them Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to file create only. After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup regression, and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs. directories). To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server), this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues posix open on creates). This gets the semantic benefits we want (atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just pushed into Samba server). I confirmed this approach with jra yesterday and with Shirish today. Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now. For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix open till cifs_open. It could be added here (lookup) in the future but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50% reduction in network traffic in the other paths.
