Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan.
This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by
kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as
also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f.
Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is
capable of work using IRQ's.
This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the
chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register.
Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps
working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the
IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the
serial console.
This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to
introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up,
UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be
safely determined.
At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but
still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still
doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time.
However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't
seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk.
So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just
disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.
Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.
So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of
dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
will be negative and the division performed by
cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.
In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").
Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around febf2d9. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g. a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in

Audiowerk2 driver snd-aw2 is bound to any saa7146 device as it does not
check subsystem ids. Many DVB devices are saa7146 based, so aw2 driver
grabs them as well.

subsystem ids set to 0, the saa7146 default.
Fix conflicts with DVB devices by checking for subsystem ids = 0

Fix the snd_usbmidi_create_endpoints_midiman() function, which forgot to
set the out_interval member of the endpoint info structure for Midiman/

controllers, these random interval values result in unbearably large
latencies for output MIDI transfers.

The CM6207 incorrectly advertises its 96 kHz playback setting as 48 kHz
in its USB device descriptor. This patch extends an existing workaround
in usbaudio.c to also cover the CM6207.
This resolves issue 0004249 in the ALSA bug tracker.
More user reports show that the overwriting of the EEPROM is not
triggered by using this driver but by installing Linux, and that the
installation of any other operating system (even one without any CMI8788
driver) has the same effect. In other words, the presence of this
driver does not have any effect on the occurrence of the error. (So
far, the available evidence seems to point to a BIOS bug.)
Furthermore, it turns out that the EEPROM chip is protected against
stray write commands by the command format and by requiring a separate
write-enable command, so the error scenario in the previous commit (that
SPI writes can be misinterpreted as an EEPROM write command) is not even
theoretically possible.
The mixer control that was removed as a consequence of the previous
commit can only be partially emulated in userspace, which also means it
cannot be seen be the in-kernel OSS API emulation, so it is better to
revert that change.
When doing recovery on a raid10 with a write-intent bitmap, we only
need to recovery chunks that are flagged in the bitmap.
However if we choose to skip a chunk as it isn't flag, the code
currently skips the whole raid10-chunk, thus it might not recovery
some blocks that need recovering.
This patch fixes it.
In case that is confusing, it might help to understand that there
is a 'raid10 chunk size' which guides how data is distributed across
the devices, and a 'bitmap chunk size' which says how much data
corresponds to a single bit in the bitmap.
This bug only affects cases where the bitmap chunk size is smaller
than the raid10 chunk size.
For raid1/4/5/6, resync (fixing inconsistencies between devices) is
very similar to recovery (rebuilding a failed device onto a spare).
The both walk through the device addresses in order.
For raid10 it can be quite different. resync follows the 'array'
address, and makes sure all copies are the same. Recover walks
through 'device' addresses and recreates each missing block.
The 'bitmap_cond_end_sync' function allows the write-intent-bitmap
(When present) to be updated to reflect a partially completed resync.
It makes assumptions which mean that it does not work correctly for
raid10 recovery at all.
In particularly, it can cause bitmap-directed recovery of a raid10 to
not recovery some of the blocks that need to be recovered.
So move the call to bitmap_cond_end_sync into the resync path, rather
than being in the common "resync or recovery" path.
There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time
which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed.
When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry
is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having
completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed. So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.
Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.
The first of these requires action in raid10.c
The second requires action in raid1.c and raid10.c
Currently ITDs are immediately recycled whenever their URB completes.
However, EHCI hardware can sometimes remember some ITD state. This
means that when the ITD is reused before end-of-frame it may sometimes
cause the hardware to reference bogus state.
This patch defers reusing such ITDs by moving them into a new ehci member
cached_itd_list. ITDs resting in cached_itd_list are moved back into their
stream's free_list once scan_periodic() detects that the active frame has
elapsed.
This makes the snd_usb_us122l driver (in kernel since .28) work right
when it's hooked up through EHCI.
STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus
address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately
allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged
userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs
access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to
the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such
access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so
this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this
driver.
The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode
data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the
driver now registers a special MR for this data.
The existing driver code wasn't working. Neither the timeout was set
correctly, nor system reset was being triggered, as the driver seemed
to keep the WDT alive himself. There was also some unnecessary code.

This patch (as1218) fixes a problem with a radio-control joystick used
in the "walkera 4#3" helicopter. This device responds to the initial
Get-String-Descriptor request for string 0 (which is really the list
of supported languages) by sending its config descriptor! The
usb_get_string() routine needs to check whether it got the right
type of descriptor.
Oddly enough, this sort of check is already present in
usb_get_descriptor(). The patch changes the error code from -EPROTO
to -ENODATA, because -EPROTO shows up in so many other contexts to
indicate a hardware failure rather than a firmware error.
Commit f27bac2761cab5a2e212dea602d22457a9aa6943 which converted sd to
use ida instead of idr incorrectly removed sd_index_lock around id
allocation and free. idr/ida do have internal locks but they protect
their free object lists not the allocation itself. The caller is
responsible for that. This missing synchronization led to the same id
being assigned to multiple devices leading to oops.

node A inserted
node B inserted
node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B
node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains
while (tn->overlapped)
tn = tn_prev(tn);
==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced.
When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag
is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped
flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the
ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the
scan code to crash.
It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node
removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on
the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable
solution.

Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the

know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to
read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to
the offset user space wanted.

Make sure all of the fields of the group descriptor are properly
initialized. Previously, we allowed bg_flags field to be contain
random garbage, which could trigger non-deterministic behavior,
including a kernel OOPS.
Otherwise it can be very confusing to find a "EXT3-fs: " failure in
the middle of EXT4-fs failures, and it makes it harder to track the
source of the failure.
Make sure the rec_len field in the '..' entry is sane, lest we overrun
the directory block and cause a kernel oops on a purposefully
corrupted filesystem.
Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use
i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should
complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the
kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files.
This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the
kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such
as:

With nodelalloc option we need to update the dirty block counter on
block allocation failure. This is needed because we increment the
dirty block counter early in the block allocation phase. Without
the patch s_dirty_blocks_counter goes wrong so that filesystem's
free blocks decreases incorrectly.
We need to init the complete page during buddy cache init
by setting the contents to '1'. Otherwise we can see the
following errors after doing an online resize of the
filesystem:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:
Allocating block 1040385 in system zone of 127 group
After we mark the blocks in the buddy cache as allocated,
we need to ensure that we don't reinit the buddy cache until
the block bitmap is updated. This commit achieves this by holding
the group_info alloc_semaphore till ext4_mb_release_context
For uninit block group, the on-disk bitmap is not initialized. That
implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap
buffer_head to find bitmap validity. Use a new buffer_head flag which
would be set after we properly initialize the bitmap. This also
prevents (re-)initializing the uninit group bitmap every time we call
ext4_read_block_bitmap().
We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called.
(introduced by commit c806e68f.)
and ext4_new_inode does

ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data))
......
...
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group));
gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT);
i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)
The race results in below user visible errors

When we generate buddy cache (especially during resize) we need to
make sure we don't use the blocks freed but not yet comitted. This
makes sure we have the right value of free blocks count in the group
info and also in the bitmap. This also ensures the ordered mode
consistency
Move some of the forward declaration of the static functions
to mballoc.c where they are used. This enables us to include
mballoc.h in other .c files. Also correct the buddy cache
documentation.
The new groups added during resize are flagged as
need_init group. Make sure we properly initialize these
groups. When we have block size < page size and we are adding
new groups the page may still be marked uptodate even though
we haven't initialized the group. While forcing the init
of buddy cache we need to make sure other groups part of the
same page of buddy cache is not using the cache.
group_info->alloc_sem is added to ensure the same.
With this change new blocks added during resize
are marked as free in the block bitmap and the
group is flagged with EXT4_GROUP_INFO_NEED_INIT_BIT
flag. This makes sure when mballoc tries to allocate
blocks from the new group we would reload the
buddy information using the bitmap present in the disk.
We can call ext4_mb_check_limits even after successfully allocating
the requested blocks. In that case, make sure we don't overwrite
ac_status if it already has the status AC_STATUS_FOUND. This fixes
the lockdep warning:

Thanks to Andreas Sundstrom for reporting this issue.
I chased the cause of following ext4 oops report which is tested on
ia64 box.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12018
The cause is the size of s_mb_maxs array that is defined as "unsigned
short" in ext4_sb_info structure. If the file system's block size is
8k or greater, an unsigned short is not wide enough to contain the
value fs->blocksize << 3.
When iterating through the pages which have mapped buffer_heads, we
failed to update the b_state value. This results in allocating blocks
at logical offset 0.
If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot*
of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true
that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the
stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original
root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has
aborted, return an EROFS right away.
The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char
were signed, as God and K&R intended. Unfortunately, this assumption
is not true on some architectures. Userspace support for marking
filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years
ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).
Ensure that we do not set pcb->data.raw beyond its size, print an error message
and return false if we attempt to. A timout message was printed one too early.

For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging,
mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around. According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:
In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x. During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork). Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.
Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces. The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.
This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated. This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen
The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for
example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation
in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this
case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending
queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting
the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications
CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when
flushing the TLB).
I am not sure what happened. It looks like we have always leaked
the q->queue that is allocated from the kfifo_init call. nab finally
noticed that we were leaking and this patch fixes it by adding a
kfree call to iscsi_pool_free. kfifo_free is not used per kfifo_init's
instructions to use kfree.

This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have
been seeing. Some chipsets neglect to report the RWBF "capability" --
the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when
changing the DMA page tables, to ensure that the change is visible to
the IOMMU.
Override that bit on the affected chipsets, and everything is happy
again.
Thanks to Chris and Bhavesh and others for helping to debug.

If a process registers for asynchronous notification on a POSIX message
queue, it gets a signal and a siginfo_t structure when a message arrives
on the message queue. The si_pid in the siginfo_t structure is set to the
PID of the process that sent the message to the message queue.
The principle is the following:
. when mq_notify(SIGEV_SIGNAL) is called, the caller registers for
notification when a msg arrives. The associated pid structure is stroed into
inode_info->notify_owner. Let's call this process P1.
. when mq_send() is called by say P2, P2 sends a signal to P1 to notify
him about msg arrival.
The way .si_pid is set today is not correct, since it doesn't take into account
the fact that the process that is sending the message might not be in the
same namespace as the notified one.
This patch proposes to set si_pid to the sender's pid into the notify_owner
namespace.

A current problem with the pid namespace is that it is easy to do pid
related work after exit_task_namespaces which drops the nsproxy pointer.
However if we are doing pid namespace related work we are always operating
on some struct pid which retains the pid_namespace pointer of the pid
namespace it was allocated in.
So provide ns_of_pid which allows us to find the pid namespace a pid was
allocated in.
Using this we have the needed infrastructure to do pid namespace related
work at anytime we have a struct pid, removing the chance of accidentally
having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing current->nsproxy.

The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data
into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so
well.
The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe
buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference.
But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage)
this doesn't work.
The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references.
The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and
then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref.
The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the
kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is
all that the socket send side has at this point.
This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused
by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet
out to the device.
The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the
skb->data bytes into that page.
This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this
properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important
to get rid of the data corruption.
When user tries to map all chunks given in argument, kernel
works on a copy of the chunkmap, but at the end it doesn't
check the copy, but the orginal one.

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA
devices.
When checking for the CFA feature set support, ata_id_is_cfa() tests bit 2 in
word 82 of the identify data instead the word 83; it also checks the ATA/PI
version support in the word 80 (which the CompactFlash specifications have as
reserved), this having no slightest chance to work on the modern CF cards that
don't have 0x848A in the word 0...

tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it
gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb,
and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.
Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.
Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)
resulting in duplicated data and corruption.
Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits.
