92d1dbd Paul Jackson 20 May 2006, 22:00:11 UTC [PATCH] cpuset: might_sleep_if check in cpuset_zones_allowed It's too easy to incorrectly call cpuset_zone_allowed() in an atomic context without __GFP_HARDWALL set, and when done, it is not noticed until a tight memory situation forces allocations to be tried outside the current cpuset. Add a 'might_sleep_if()' check, to catch this earlier on, instead of waiting for a similar check in the mutex_lock() code, which is only rarely invoked.

The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed() 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. The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in November 2005. Rewrite that comment ...

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. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen.

593ee20 Kristen Accardi 20 May 2006, 22:00:08 UTC [PATCH] pci: correctly allocate return buffers for osc calls The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. 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. This patch will change these calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

This primarily impacts memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new memory. Fix suggested by Dave Hansen. Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in the function's return statement: return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root); In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

df88912 Andrew Morton 20 May 2006, 22:00:01 UTC [PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

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.

6d39bed Paul A. 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.

d64b1c8 Lin Feng Shen 20 May 2006, 21:59:49 UTC [PATCH] NFS: fix error handling on access_ok in compat_sys_nfsservctl Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans, compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans, which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to compat_sys_nfsservctl. An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns -EFAULT. The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value of access_ok in the five functions.

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.

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.

This is a historical relic from an earlier version of the driver that took a reference on the scsi_host before trying to reconnect, so get rid of the extra scsi_host_put().

c3fb041 Dimitry Andric 17 May 2006, 15:31:11 UTC [ARM] 3529/1: s3c24xx: fix restoring control register with undefined instruction Patch from Dimitry Andric In arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/sleep.S, the coprocessor registers are saved at suspend time, and restored at resume time. However, an undefined instruction is used when attempting to restore a non-existent "auxiliary control register". This leads to a crash on S3C2412, which has an ARM926 core instead of an ARM920. At suspend time, the following fragment runs: mrc p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0 @ translation table base address mrc p15, 0, r8, c2, c0, 0 @ auxiliary control register mrc p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0 @ control register and at resume time, the following fragment runs: mcr p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0 @ translation table base mcr p15, 0, r8, c1, c1, 0 @ auxilliary control ... mcr p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0 @ turn on MMU, etc There are several problems with these fragments: 1. The ARM920 and ARM926 cores don't have any "auxiliary control register", at least not according to the ARM920 and ARM926 TRM's. 2. The 2nd line of suspend erroneously saves the c2 register again. 3. This saved c2 value is restored using an undefined instruction. For some reason this does not crash on ARM920, but does crash on ARM926. The following patch fixes all these problems.

1db76c1 Roland Dreier 17 May 2006, 14:48:07 UTC IB/mthca: Make fw_cmd_doorbell default to 0 Setting fw_cmd_doorbell allows FW command to be queued using posted writes instead of requiring polling on a "go" bit, so it should be a performance boost. However, the option causes problems with at least some device/firmware combinations, so set the default to 0 until we understand what's going on better.

8872d8e Angelo P. Castellani 17 May 2006, 04:42:11 UTC [TCP]: reno sacked_out count fix From: "Angelo P. Castellani" <angelo.castellani+lkml@gmail.com> Using NewReno, if a sk_buff is timed out and is accounted as lost_out, it should also be removed from the sacked_out. This is necessary because recovery using NewReno fast retransmit could take up to a lot RTTs and the sk_buff RTO can expire without actually being really lost. left_out = sacked_out + lost_out in_flight = packets_out - left_out + retrans_out Using NewReno without this patch, on very large network losses, left_out becames bigger than packets_out + retrans_out (!!). For this reason unsigned integer in_flight overflows to 2^32 - something. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 17 May 2006, 04:42:11 UTC
