CPU hotplug fills up the possible map to NR_CPUs, but it did that after
setting up per CPU data. This lead to CPU data not getting allocated
for all possible CPUs, which lead to various side effects.

<title>[PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completion</title>

If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above.  This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.

In fact, there are three separate issues:

1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
   completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.

2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
   task_struct-&gt;sighand could have gone meanwhile.

3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
   and we can no longer send it a signal.

So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

<title>[PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resume</title>
<updated>2005-10-10T15:36:46+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Rafael J. Wysocki</name>
<email>rjw@sisk.pl</email>
</author>
<published>2005-10-09T19:19:40+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=3dd083255ddcfa87751fa8e32f61a9547a15a541'/>
<id>3dd083255ddcfa87751fa8e32f61a9547a15a541</id>
<content type='text'>
The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64.  This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.

The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM.  If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system.  This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue.  Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).

The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself.  Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e.  the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e.  the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed).  Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e.  there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend).  Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.

In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie.  from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()).  Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL.  Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.

All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c.  It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.

[AK: move some externs into headers, renamed a function]

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

The attached patch splits key permissions checking out of key-ui.h and
moves it into a .c file.  It's quite large and called quite a lot, and
it's about to get bigger with the addition of LSM support for keys...

key_any_permission() is also discarded as it's no longer used.
