2008-08-01Fix off-by-one error in iov_iter_advance()Linus Torvalds
commit 94ad374a0751f40d25e22e036c37f7263569d24c upstream The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the next page was unallocated. The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.

2008-08-01markers: fix markers read barrier for multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers
commit 5def9a3a22e09c99717f41ab7f07ec9e1a1f3ec8 upstream Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in the path where multiple probes are connected. Those are ordering reads of "ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi" array data access. It should be ordered like this : read ptype smp_rmb() read multi array pointer smp_read_barrier_depends() access data referenced by multi array pointer The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to allocate an array) has correct memory ordering. It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: Paul E.

2008-08-01tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inodeHugh Dickins
commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1 upstream SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814 on 2.6.26. It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it. Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink.

commit 9a7867e1b34c3575e7e76a05c0c54c6edbdae2a4 upstream The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret the datasheet. According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is held as long as the EOF is not written. Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way. The old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size of size_of_word. This makes the transfer slow. Also fixed some duplicate code.

2008-08-01eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memoryEric Sandeen
commit 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee upstream Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:46:39 -0700 Subject: eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc. My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2 different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the corruption.

V4L: saa7134: Copy tuner data earlier to avoid overwriting manual tuner type (cherry picked from commit d53687d1d22c3204394658a31654de2f1efb0e8f) Copy tuner data earlier in init to avoid overwriting manual tuner type When saa7134_board_init2 runs, it immediately overwrites the current value (set earlier from module parameter) of tuner_type with the static values, and then does autodetection. This patch moves the tuner_addr copy to earlier in saa7134_initdev and removes the tuner_type copy from saa7134_board_init2. Autodetection could still potentially change to the wrong tuner type, but it is now possible to override the default type for the card again. My card's tuner is configured with autodetection from eeprom, so I don't need to manually set the tuner. I've checked that the autodetection still works for my card.

part of commit 0dcffac1a329be69bab0ac604bf7283737108e68 upstream (the upstream multislice patch contains this fix within a large rework of the code since there is one rx_done ring per slice. The old allocating is replaced by a call to myri10ge_probe_slices()) Allocating the rx_done ring requires mgp->max_intr_slots to be valid, which requires that we already loaded the firmware we are going to use with this ring. So move the allocating after myri10ge_load_firmware() (but keep it before myri10ge_reset() which already needs the rx_done ring).

Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and we'll reset it. This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x timeframe. In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by tcp_ack(). Here is Eric's original report: ---------------------------------------- Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost. In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.* Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000 iptables -N SLOWLO iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO Then run the attached program and see the output : # ./loop State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port ESTAB 0 40 127.0.0.1:54455 127.0.0.1:12000

section commit fb5e2b379732e1a6ea32392980bb42e0212db842 upstream Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in .text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger. Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of __attribute__((__hot__)) also .text.hot) to the TEXT_TEXT() macro. Issue observed by Lukas Lipavsky.

commit 449321b39f6c6ebfa15d6da24f134240bd51db29 upstream This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-at91rm9200 by scrubbing old IRQ status before enabling IRQs. It also removes nonfunctional periodic IRQ support from this driver; only update IRQs are reported, or provided by the hardware. I suspect some other RTCs probably have versions of #11112; it's easy to overlook, since most non-RTC drivers don't care about spurious IRQs: they're not reported to userspace.

2008-08-01x86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real ModeH. Peter Anvin
Commit 3bf2e77453a87c22eb57ed4926760ac131c84459 upstream x86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real Mode The explanation for recent video BIOS suspend quirk failures is that the VESA BIOS expects to be entered in Big Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffffffff) instead of ordinary Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffff). This patch changes the segment descriptors to Big Real Mode instead. The segment descriptor registers (what Intel calls "segment cache") is always active. The only thing that changes based on CR0.PE is how it is *loaded* and the interpretation of the CS flags. The segment descriptor registers contain of the following sub-registers: selector (the "visible" part), base, limit and flags. In protected mode or long mode, they are loaded from descriptors (or fs.base or gs.base can be manipulated directly in long mode.) In real mode, the only thing changed by a segment register load is the selector and the base, where the base <- selector << 4. In particular, *the limit and the flags are not changed*. As far as the handling of the CS flags: a code segment cannot be writable in protected mode, whereas it is "just another segment" in real mode, so there is some kind of quirk that kicks in for this when CR0.PE <- 0. I'm not sure if this is accomplished by actually changing the cs.flags register or just changing the interpretation; it might be something that is CPU-specific. In particular, the Transmeta CPUs had an explicit "CS is writable if you're in real mode" override, so even if you had loaded CS with an execute-only segment it'd be writable (but not readable!) on return to real mode. I'm not at all sure if that is how other CPUs behave. Signed-off-by: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

commit d7c0651390b6a03ad53f99faec0ba88109d7191d upstream The comment was correct -- need to make the code match the comment. Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever) in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing, grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded correctly...) is as follows: o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter is (say) 10. o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 11. o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(), sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(), which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack(). o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12. o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11), respectively. Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails. Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second condition fails. rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the counter flip. o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the wild. Still should be fixed!) Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period to proceed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2008-08-01Patch Upstream: x86 ptrace: fix PTRACE_GETFPXREGS errorRoland McGrath
commit 45fdc3a7624a4a48185a04ae0abab5f9793d8952 upstream ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access registers. The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more meaningful variety of errors. The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV for !cpu_has_fxsr hardware. Make ptrace return the traditional -EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.

2008-08-01KVM: MMU: Fix potential race setting upper shadow ptes on nonpae hostsAvi Kivity
Original-Commit-Hash: c23a6fe17abf8562e675465f8d55ba1a551d314d The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging) sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area. Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly. Noticed by Izik Eidus. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
