2006-05-23[PATCH] tty_insert_flip_string_flags() license fixTobias Powalowski
We still don't have the tty layer licensing compatibility quite right. tty_insert_flip_char() used to be inlined in include/linux/tty_flip.h. It is now out-of-lined and hence needs EXPORT_SYMBOL() to be back-compatible. One known offender is the Intel Modem driver.

2006-05-23[PATCH] md: fix possible oops when starting a raid0 arrayNeilBrown
This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems. Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur' and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop. This should ring warning bells... That last time through the loop, size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address. This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

2006-05-21[PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundaryBob Picco
Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

2006-05-21[PATCH] s390: next_timer_interrupt overflow in stop_hz_timerMartin Schwidefsky
The 32 bit unsigned substraction (next - jiffies) in stop_hz_timer can overflow if jiffies gets advanced between next_timer_interrupt and the read under the xtime lock. The cast to a u64 then results in a large value which causes the cpu to wait too long. Fix this by casting next and jiffies independently to u64 before subtracting them.

2006-05-21[PATCH] Fix a NO_IDLE_HZ timer bugZachary Amsden
Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer ticks are being processed on remote CPUs. The remote timer ticks can increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can end up with 1) No softirq pending 2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies 3) No high resolution timer active 4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value. In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows, because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies, but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the wheel (jiffies_base).

o Kdump second kernel boot fails after a system crash if second kernel is UP and acpi=off and if crash occurred on a non-boot cpu. o Issue here is that MP tables report boot cpu lapic id as 0 but second kernel is booting on a different processor and MP table data is stale in this context. Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC() when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor(). o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC. o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()). o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment. The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed() was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in November 2005. Rewrite that comment ...

2006-05-21[PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fixPaul Jackson
Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen.

2006-05-21[PATCH] pci: correctly allocate return buffers for osc callsKristen Accardi
The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

2006-05-21[PATCH] fix race in inotify_releaseAmy Griffis
While doing some inotify stress testing, I hit the following race. In inotify_release(), it's possible for a watch to be removed from the lists in between dropping dev->mutex and taking inode->inotify_mutex. The reference we hold prevents the watch from being freed, but not from being removed. Checking the dev's idr mapping will prevent a double list_del of the same watch.

2006-05-21[PATCH] SPARSEMEM incorrectly calculates section numberMike Kravetz
A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section information being put into sysfs memory entries. This primarily impacts memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new memory. Fix suggested by Dave Hansen. Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in the function's return statement: return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root); In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

2006-05-21[PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILEAndrew Morton
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.
