ceb2ca9 Dave Peterson 14 March 2006, 05:20:50 UTC [PATCH] EDAC: disable sysfs interface - Disable the EDAC sysfs code. The sysfs interface that EDAC presents to user space needs more thought, and is likely to change substantially. Therefore disable it for now so users don't start depending on it in its current form. - Disable the default behavior of calling panic() when an uncorrectible error is detected (since for now, there is no sysfs interface that allows the user to configure this behavior).

143f412 Trond Myklebust 14 March 2006, 05:20:46 UTC [PATCH] NFS: Fix a potential panic in O_DIRECT Based on an original patch by Mike O'Connor and Greg Banks of SGI. Mike states: A normal user can panic an NFS client and cause a local DoS with 'judicious'(?) use of O_DIRECT. Any O_DIRECT write to an NFS file where the user buffer starts with a valid mapped page and contains an unmapped page, will crash in this way. I haven't followed the code, but O_DIRECT reads with similar user buffers will probably also crash albeit in different ways. Details: when nfs_get_user_pages() calls get_user_pages(), it detects and correctly handles get_user_pages() returning an error, which happens if the first page covered by the user buffer's address range is unmapped. However, if the first page is mapped but some subsequent page isn't, get_user_pages() will return a positive number which is less than the number of pages requested (this behaviour is sort of analagous to a short write() call and appears to be intentional). nfs_get_user_pages() doesn't detect this and hands off the array of pages (whose last few elements are random rubbish from the newly allocated array memory) to it's caller, whence they go to nfs_direct_write_seg(), which then totally ignores the nr_pages it's given, and calculates its own idea of how many pages are in the array from the user buffer length. Needless to say, when it comes to transmit those uninitialised page* pointers, we see a crash in the network stack.

f9a3879 GOTO Masanori 14 March 2006, 05:20:44 UTC [PATCH] Fix sigaltstack corruption among cloned threads This patch fixes alternate signal stack corruption among cloned threads with CLONE_SIGHAND (and CLONE_VM) for linux-2.6.16-rc6. The value of alternate signal stack is currently inherited after a call of clone(... CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_VM). But if sigaltstack is set by a parent thread, and then if multiple cloned child threads (+ parent threads) call signal handler at the same time, some threads may be conflicted - because they share to use the same alternative signal stack region. Finally they get sigsegv. It's an undesirable race condition. Note that child threads created from NPTL pthread_create() also hit this conflict when the parent thread uses sigaltstack, without my patch. To fix this problem, this patch clears the child threads' sigaltstack information like exec(). This behavior follows the SUSv3 specification. In SUSv3, pthread_create() says "The alternate stack shall not be inherited (when new threads are initialized)". It means that sigaltstack should be cleared when sigaltstack memory space is shared by cloned threads with CLONE_SIGHAND. Note that I chose "if (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)" line because: - If clone_flags line is not existed, fork() does not inherit sigaltstack. - CLONE_VM is another choice, but vfork() does not inherit sigaltstack. - CLONE_SIGHAND implies CLONE_VM, and it looks suitable. - CLONE_THREAD is another candidate, and includes CLONE_SIGHAND + CLONE_VM, but this flag has a bit different semantics. I decided to use CLONE_SIGHAND.

We can't handle any exceptions there because the exception handler would end up running on the user stack which is unsafe. To avoid problems any code that might end up with a user touched pt_regs should return using int_ret_from_syscall. int_ret_from_syscall ends up using IRET, which allows safe exceptions.

7cd9013 Christoph Hellwig 11 March 2006, 11:27:18 UTC [PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export again The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

The recommended workaround is to either invalidate the entire I-cache or invalidate the range by set/way rather than MVA. Note that for a 16K cache size, invalidating a 4K page by set/way is equivalent to invalidating the entire I-cache.

8fce4d8 Christoph Lameter 10 March 2006, 01:33:54 UTC [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

1efa3c0 Randy Dunlap 09 March 2006, 00:46:08 UTC [NET] compat ifconf: fix limits A recent change to compat. dev_ifconf() in fs/compat_ioctl.c causes ifconf data to be truncated 1 entry too early when copying it to userspace. The correct amount of data (length) is returned, but the final entry is empty (zero, not filled in). The for-loop 'i' check should use <= to allow the final struct ifreq32 to be copied. I also used the ifconf-corruption program in kernel bugzilla #4746 to make sure that this change does not re-introduce the corruption.

d8117ce Christoph Lameter 08 March 2006, 03:05:32 UTC [IA64] Fix race in the accessed/dirty bit handlers A pte may be zapped by the swapper, exiting process, unmapping or page migration while the accessed or dirty bit handers are about to run. In that case the accessed bit or dirty is set on an zeroed pte which leads the VM to conclude that this is a swap pte. This may lead to - Messages from the vm like swap_free: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 - Processes being aborted swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 VM: killing process .... Page migration is particular suitable for the creation of this race since it needs to remove and restore page table entries. The fix here is to check for the present bit and simply not update the pte if the page is not present anymore. If the page is not present then the fault handler should run next which will take care of the problem by bringing the page back and then mark the page dirty or move it onto the active list.

2ec5e3a Michael Matz 08 March 2006, 05:55:48 UTC [PATCH] fix kexec asm While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would freeze or instantly reboot. The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu. Compiling for CONFIG_MK7 instead would work fine. The patch fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.
