2011-04-21ip: ip_options_compile() resilient to NULL skb routeEric Dumazet
commit c65353daf137dd41f3ede3baf62d561fca076228 upstream. Scot Doyle demonstrated ip_options_compile() could be called with an skb without an attached route, using a setup involving a bridge, netfilter, and forged IP packets. Let's make ip_options_compile() and ip_options_rcv_srr() a bit more robust, instead of changing bridge/netfilter code. With help from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

commit fb7d0b3cefb80a105f7fd26bbc62e0cbf9192822 upstream. GCC 4.6.0 in Fedora rawhide turned up some compile errors in tools/perf due to the -Werror=unused-but-set-variable flag.

2011-04-21USB: Fix unplug of device with active streamsMatthew Wilcox
commit b214f191d95ba4b5a35aebd69cd129cf7e3b1884 upstream. If I unplug a device while the UAS driver is loaded, I get an oops in usb_free_streams(). This is because usb_unbind_interface() calls usb_disable_interface() which calls usb_disable_endpoint() which sets ep_out and ep_in to NULL. Then the UAS driver calls usb_pipe_endpoint() which returns a NULL pointer and passes an array of NULL pointers to usb_free_streams(). I think the correct fix for this is to check for the NULL pointer in usb_free_streams() rather than making the driver check for this situation. My original patch for this checked for dev->state == USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED, but the call to usb_disable_interface() is conditional, so not all drivers would want this check. Note from Sarah Sharp: This patch does avoid a potential dereference, but the real fix (which will be implemented later) is to set the .soft_unbind flag in the usb_driver structure for the UAS driver, and all drivers that allocate streams. The driver should free any streams when it is unbound from the interface. This avoids leaking stream rings in the xHCI driver when usb_disable_interface() is called. This should be queued for stable trees back to 2.6.35.

commit 2dea75d96ade3c7cd2bfe73f99c7b3291dc3d03a upstream. Currently, when resetting a device, xHCI driver disables all but one endpoints and frees their rings, but leaves alone any streams that might have been allocated. Later, when users try to free allocated streams, we oops in xhci_setup_no_streams_ep_input_ctx() because ep->ring is NULL. Let's free not only rings but also stream data as well, so that calling free_streams() on a device that was reset will be safe. This should be queued for stable trees back to 2.6.35.

2011-04-21USB: EHCI: unlink unused QHs when the controller is stoppedAlan Stern
commit 94ae4976e253757e9b03a44d27d41b20f1829d80 upstream. This patch (as1458) fixes a problem affecting ultra-reliable systems: When hardware failover of an EHCI controller occurs, the data structures do not get released correctly. This is because the routine responsible for removing unused QHs from the async schedule assumes the controller is running properly (the frame counter is used in determining how long the QH has been idle) -- but when a failover causes the controller to be electronically disconnected from the PCI bus, obviously it stops running. The solution is simple: Allow scan_async() to remove a QH from the async schedule if it has been idle for long enough _or_ if the controller is stopped.

2011-04-21powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinksEric B Munson
commit 86c74ab317c1ef4d37325e0d7ca8a01a796b0bd7 upstream. Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative. This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

commit c78193e9c7bcbf25b8237ad0dec82f805c4ea69b upstream. next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

commit 7a180e70cfc56e131bfe4796773df2acfc7d4180 upstream. Due to the recent changes to musb's glue layers, we can't compile musb-hdrc as a module - compilation will break due to undefined symbol musb_debug. In order to fix that, we need a big re-work of the debug support on the MUSB driver. Because that would mean a lot of new code coming into the -rc series, it's best to defer that to next merge window and for now just disable module support for MUSB. Once we get the refactor of the debugging support done, we can simply revert this patch and things will go back to normal again.

2011-04-21vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a nameKOSAKI Motohiro
commit 929bea7c714220fc76ce3f75bef9056477c28e74 upstream. all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19 by following commit. 2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke the logic unintentionally. 2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and restored original intention by following commit. 2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it . 2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look, struct zone { .. int all_unreclaimable; .. unsigned long pages_scanned; .. } zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1. This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form 1. fork 2. mmap 3. touch memory 4. read memory 5. munmmap as described in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725 Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at all! Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition, to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

2011-04-21sched: Fix erroneous all_pinned logicKen Chen
commit b30aef17f71cf9e24b10c11cbb5e5f0ebe8a85ab upstream. The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system. This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system. However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned tasks at all. The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level: load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process. Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes attempt to move load onto puller CPU. To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level. This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just last one in the list.

commit d3b3e15da14ded61c9654db05863b04a2435f4cc upstream. Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by default.

In the radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents the driver from being able to detect attached monitors. The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails. This is likely due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the bit test as well.

Letting these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU causing a reboot. The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely. This patch is the fix for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012 on my machine.

2011-04-21x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processorsBoris Ostrovsky
commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 upstream. Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in commit db954b5898dd3ef3ef93f4144158ea8f97deb058. This feature allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else (e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep C-states. AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

2011-04-21UBIFS: fix oops when R/O file-system is fsync'edArtem Bityutskiy
commit 78530bf7f2559b317c04991b52217c1608d5a58d upstream. This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system if it is read-only, but this is not the case. It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script: use strict; use File::Sync qw(fsync sync); die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0]; my $path = $ARGV[0]; open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!"; fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!"; close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!"; Thanks to Reuben Dowle <Reuben.Dowle@navico.com> for reporting about this issue.

2011-04-21oom-kill: remove boost_dying_task_prio()KOSAKI Motohiro
commit 341aea2bc48bf652777fb015cc2b3dfa9a451817 upstream. This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a higher priority"). That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all. If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short, the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't touch the rtruntime knob. Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original author Luis agreed to disable this logic. Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Luis Claudio R.

commit e27e6151b154ff6e5e8162efa291bc60196d29ea upstream. The conventional format for boolean attributes in sysfs is numeric ("0" or "1" followed by new-line). Any boolean attribute can then be read and written using a generic function. Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes] no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

2011-04-21kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
commit 33ee3b2e2eb9b4b6c64dcf9ed66e2ac3124e748c upstream. 1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

commit 0cd9c6494ee5c19aef085152bc37f3a4e774a9e1 upstream. The FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag was not getting set, causing the restart_block to restart futex_wait() without a timeout after a signal. Commit b41277dc7a18ee332d in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup of the restart block.

It was moderated first in tcp_try_undo_recovery then again in tcp_complete_cwr. Since the undo indicates recovery was false, these moderations are not necessary.
