2008-04-18locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields
upstream commit: 19e729a928172103e101ffd0829fd13e68c13f78 Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

2008-04-18file capabilities: remove cap_task_kill()Serge Hallyn
upstream commit: aedb60a67c10a0861af179725d060765262ba0fb The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows: check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks. However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid. However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless, and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases where it might still be called but return -EPERM. Those cases are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent as per the check in check_kill_permission(). One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users. This patch removes cap_task_kill(). Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Acked-by: Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@kernel.org> Earlier-version-tested-by: Luiz Fernando N.

This resulted in, what appeared to be, a trap without *current set to a task. Probably the result of a trap in real mode while calling firmware. Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the only callers.

2008-04-18pnpacpi: reduce printk severity for "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of ..."Len Brown
upstream commit 33fd7afd66ffdc6addf1b085fe6403b6af532f8e We have been printing these messages at KERN_ERR since 2.6.24, per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535 But KERN_ERR pops up on a console booted with "quiet" and causes users to get alarmed and file bugs about the message itself: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436589 So reduce the severity of these messages to KERN_WARNING, which is not printed by "quiet". This message will still be seen without "quiet", but a lot of messages are printed in that mode and it will be less likely to cause undue alarm. We could go all the way to KERN_DEBUG, but this is a real warning after all, so it seems prudent not to require "debug" to see it.

upstream commit: 620a245978d007279bc5c7c64e15f5f63af9af98 Currently, if drivers/macintosh/apm_emu is a module and the config doesn't have CONFIG_SUSPEND we get: ERROR: "pmu_batteries" [drivers/macintosh/apm_emu.ko] undefined! ERROR: "pmu_battery_count" [drivers/macintosh/apm_emu.ko] undefined! ERROR: "pmu_power_flags" [drivers/macintosh/apm_emu.ko] undefined! on PPC32.

Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh any non-uptodate blocks.

upstream commit: cabce28ec0a0ae3d0ddfa4461f0e8be94ade9e46 Plip uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq in its IRQ handler (called from parport IRQ handler), the latter enables interrupts without parport subsystem IRQ handler expecting it. The bug can be seen if you compile kernel with lock dependency checking and use plip --- it produces a warning. This patch changes it to spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_irqrestore, so that it doesn't enable interrupts when already disabled.

2008-04-18libata: assume no device is attached if both IDENTIFYs are abortedTejun Heo
upstream commit: 1ffc151fcddf524d0c76709d7e7a2af0255acb6b This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave. Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which makes EH retry. Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands. While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to help debugging obscure detection problems. This problem was reported by Jan Bücken.

2008-04-18TCP: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peersHerbert Xu
Upstream commit: 69d1506731168d6845a76a303b2c45f7c05f3f2c While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.

2008-04-18TCP: Fix shrinking windows with window scalingPatrick McHardy
Upstream commit: 607bfbf2d55dd1cfe5368b41c2a81a8c9ccf4723 When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-18ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe orderCarol Hebert
upstream commit: abd24df828f1a72971db29d1b74fefae104ea9e2 In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery. So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system (e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.). The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c. Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are found on the system.

2008-04-18CRYPTO xcbc: Fix crash when ipsec uses xcbc-mac with big data chunkJoy Latten
upstream commit: 1edcf2e1ee2babb011cfca80ad9d202e9c491669 The kernel crashes when ipsec passes a udp packet of about 14XX bytes of data to aes-xcbc-mac. It seems the first xxxx bytes of the data are in first sg entry, and remaining xx bytes are in next sg entry. But we don't check next sg entry to see if we need to go look the page up. I noticed in hmac.c, we do a scatterwalk_sg_next(), to do this check and possible lookup, thus xcbc.c needs to use this routine too. A 15-hour run of an ipsec stress test sending streams of tcp and udp packets of various sizes, using this patch and aes-xcbc-mac completed successfully, so hopefully this fixes the problem.

2008-04-18USB: serial: ti_usb_3410_5052: Correct TUSB3410 endpoint requirements.Robert Spanton
upstream commit: 1bfd6693cd66f1e79abce62d3e8c3647e1f59a55 The changes introduced in commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443 changed the semantics of the num_interrupt_in, num_interrupt_out, num_bulk_in and num_bulk_out entries of the usb_serial_driver struct to be the number of endpoints the device has when probed. This patch changes the ti_1port_device usb_serial_driver struct to reflect this change. The single port devices only have 1 bulk_out endpoint in their initial configuration, and so this patch changes the number of other types to NUM_DONT_CARE. The same change probably needs doing to the ti_2port_device struct, but I don't have a two port device at hand.

2008-04-18USB: serial: fix regression in Visor/Palm OS module for kernels >= 2.6.24Brad Sawatzky
upstream commit: d04863e9e65767feff7807c8f693ac2719dd1944 Fixes a bug/inconsistency revealed by the additional sanity checking in commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443 introduced in the original 2.6.24 branch. The Handspring Visor / PalmOS 4 device structure defines .num_bulk_out=2 but the usb-serial probe returns num_bulk_out=3, triggering the check in the above commit and forcing a bail out when the device (a Garmin iQue in my case) attempts to connect. The patch bumps the expected number of endpoints to 3. FWIW, this patch will probably solve the following kernel bug report for Treo users (identical symptoms, different model PalmOS units): <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10118> Signed-off-by: Brad Sawatzky <brad+kernel@swatter.net> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
2008-04-18USB: Allow initialization of broken keyspan serial adapters.Clark Rawlins
upstream commit: 822470537d0fc1dee38a2a9c8b8c398bfbb332bb Fixes the keyspan driver after the addition of additional checking of driver requirements introduced in usb-serial.c commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443. The initialization of the keyspan usb_serial_driver structs were not initializing the num_interrupt_out field and the additional checking was rejecting the end point so the driver wouldn't finish initializing. This commit initializes the fields to NUM_DONT_CARE. It works for the keyspan USA-49WG and doesn't break the USA-19HS which are the two keyspan devices I have to test with.

2008-04-18vmcoreinfo: add the symbol "phys_base"Ken'ichi Ohmichi
upstream commit: 629c8b4cdb354518308663aff2f719e02f69ffbe Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine. This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following: # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile The kernel version is not supported. The created dumpfile may be incomplete. _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node. makedumpfile Failed. # The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data. If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly. To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: "Eric W.

Also request the I/O ports in two parts (4 low ports, 4 high ports) during device detection, otherwise the PNP resource makes the request (and thus the detection) fail.

upstream commit: a99acc832de1104afaba02d7c2576fd9b9fd6422 This reverts commit 3c0a654e390d00fef9d8faed758f5e1e8078adb5 and fixes kernel bug #10245: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10245 The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should not attach a native driver to it. This means that this quirk is unsafe and has to be removed. I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.

2008-04-18alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu dataEric Dumazet
upstream commit: be852795e1c8d3829ddf3cb1ce806113611fa555 Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were very surprising. For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use percpu data pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev); lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id()); lb_stats->packets++; /* HERE : serious contention */ lb_stats->bytes += skb->len; struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line, instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line. Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks ( 6 % in tbench) (all percpu_counters hit this bug too) Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or merging the SGI stuff of course... Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched to SLUB.
