commit 252c5f94d944487e9f50ece7942b0fbf659c5c31 upstream.
We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared
workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an
8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform. On the SLES11 kernel
[2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of
thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one
at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm. The simple patch below
causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau.
But wait, there's more:
We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core.
This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger
platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger
number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how
the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and
memories--a stochastic NUMA effect.
The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform]
with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels. With 31-rc6 on
Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage
volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched
kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K
jpm] than the unpatched kernel.
Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er]
contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the
sbrk() system call.
The patch:
A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the
anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case
for brk(). The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for
this case. Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with
interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering
that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple.
We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL
"importer". The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so
simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock.
However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma
['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we
need to check for 'insert', as well. And Hugh points out that we should
also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon
vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock).
akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it
might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this
issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is
severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)"

commit 1ac0cb5d0e22d5e483f56b2bc12172dec1cf7536 upstream.
do_anonymous_page() has been wrong to dirty the pte regardless.
If it's not going to mark the pte writable, then it won't help
to mark it dirty here, and clogs up memory with pages which will
need swap instead of being thrown away. Especially wrong if no
overcommit is chosen, and this vma is not yet VM_ACCOUNTed -
we could exceed the limit and OOM despite no overcommit.

Not upstream as it is fixed differently in .32
I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next
node on failure to allocate a huge page. I asked about this on linux-mm
and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman
responded:
I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate
at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in
commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix
hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch
it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when
allocation was successful.
Andy Whitcroft countered that the existing behavior looked like Andi
Kleen's original implementation and suggested that we ask him. We did and
Andy replied that his intention was to interleave the allocations. So,
...
This patch moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to
allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. This
will unconditionally advance the next node from which to alloc,
interleaving successful allocations over the nodes with sufficient
contiguous memory, and skipping over nodes that fail the huge page
allocation attempt.
Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only be called for huge pages of
order > MAX_ORDER.

fixed upstream in commit b7058842c940ad2c08dd829b21e5c92ebe3b8758 in a different way
The ax25 code tried to use
if (optlen < sizeof(int))
return -EINVAL;
as a security check against optlen being negative (or zero) in the
set socket option.
Unfortunately, "sizeof(int)" is an unsigned property, with the
result that the whole comparison is done in unsigned, letting
negative values slip through.
This patch changes this to
if (optlen < (int)sizeof(int))
return -EINVAL;
so that the comparison is done as signed, and negative values
get properly caught.

commit 580be0837a7a59b207c3d5c661d044d8dd0a6a30 upstream.
In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but
clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the
initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode
from iget_locked().
This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

commit a0d24b295aed7a9daf4ca36bd4784e4d40f82303 upstream.
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.

commit 31dec2538e45e9fff2007ea1f4c6bae9f78db724 upstream.
Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client
If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count
(as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for
the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded.
For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem
only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all
8192 bytes were written. The nfs client does have retry logic for
short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the
complete write succeeded.
There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it
happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can
rather easily have a partial write.
Here is a patch to properly return the short write count to the
client.

commit f1bc07af9a9edc5c1d4bdd971f7099316ed2e405 upstream.
When the volume is changed continuously (e.g., when the user drags a
volume slider with the mouse), the driver does lots of I2C writes.
Apparently, the sound chip can get confused when we poll the I2C status
register too much, and fails to complete a read from it. On the PCI-E
models, the PCI-E/PCI bridge gets upset by this and generates a machine
check exception.
To avoid this, this patch replaces the polling with an unconditional
wait that is guaranteed to be long enough.

commit 46db2f86a3b2a94e0b33e0b4548fb7b7b6bdff66 upstream.
The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

commit ec57935837a78f9661125b08a5d08b697568e040 upstream.
When probing the device in tpm_tis_init the call request_locality
uses timeout_a, which wasn't being initalized until after
request_locality. This results in request_locality falsely timing
out if the chip is still starting. Move the initialization to before
request_locality.
This probably only matters for embedded cases (ie mine), a BIOS likely
gets the TPM into a state where this code path isn't necessary.

commit 9f0ab4a3f0fdb1ff404d150618ace2fa069bb2e1 upstream.
In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss. This generates EFAULT.
Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)
----- ptinterp.S
_start: .globl _start
nop
int3
-----
$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
$ ./hello
Segmentation fault # during execve() itself
After applying the patch:
$ ./hello
Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes
If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.
This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

[ Upstream commit 6ff9c2e7fa8ca63a575792534b63c5092099c286 ]
E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is
accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when
a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was
received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use
of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100
chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data
directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API
would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data
into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers.
This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API,
allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking
other architectures).

commit 96bcc722c47d07b6fd05c9d0cb3ab8ea5574c5b1 upstream
[SCSI] sr: report more accurate drive status after closing the tray.
So, what's happening here is that the drive is reporting a sense of
2/4/1 ("logical unit is becoming ready") from sr_test_unit_ready(), and
then we ask for the media event notification before checking that result
at all. The check_media_event_descriptor() call isn't getting a check
condition, but it's also reporting that the tray is closed and that
there's no media. In actuality it doesn't yet know if there's media or
not, but there's no way to express that in the media event status field.
My current thought is that if it told us the device isn't yet ready, we
should return that immediately, since there's nothing that'll tell us
any more data than that reliably:

commit 2400a2bfbd0e912193fe3b077f492d4980141813 upstream
[ cebbert@redhat.com: backport to 2.6.27 ]
USB: removal of tty->low_latency hack dating back to the old serial code
This removes tty->low_latency from all USB serial drivers that push
data into the tty layer at hard interrupt context. It's no longer needed
and actually harmful.

commit 05ad709d04799125ed85dd816fdb558258102172 upstream
parport: quickfix the proc registration bug
Ideally we should have a directory of drivers and a link to the 'active'
driver. For now just show the first device which is effectively the existing
semantics without a warning.
This is an update on the original buggy patch that I then forgot to
resubmit. Confusingly it was proposed by Red Hat, written by Etched Pixels
fixed and submitted by Intel ...

commit e7432675f8ca868a4af365759a8d4c3779a3d922 upstream.
In a non-sparse extend, we correctly allocate (and zero) the clusters between
the old_i_size and pos, but we don't zero the portions of the cluster we're
writing to outside of pos<->len.
It handles clustersize > pagesize and blocksize < pagesize.

The bug should be "accidently" fixed by recent changes in 2.6.31,
all kernels <= 2.6.30 need the fix. The problem was never noticed before,
it was found because it causes mysterious failures with GFS mount/umount.
Credits to Robert Peterson. He blaimed kthread.c from the very beginning.
But, despite my promise, I forgot to inspect the old implementation until
he did a lot of testing and reminded me. This led to huge delay in fixing
this bug.
kthread_stop() does put_task_struct(k) before it clears kthread_stop_info.k.
This means another kthread_create() can re-use this task_struct, but the
new kthread can still see kthread_should_stop() == T and exit even without
calling threadfn().

commit 0083fc2c50e6c5127c2802ad323adf8143ab7856 upstream.
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.
[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
does really stupid things. ]

(cherry picked from commit 7c8a83b75a38a807d37f5a4398eca2a42c8cf513)
kvm_handle_hva, called by MMU notifiers, manipulates mmu data only with
the protection of mmu_lock.
Update kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages callers to take mmu_lock, thus protecting
against kvm_handle_hva.
