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:
EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max
Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security

This avoids insane superblock configurations that could lead to kernel

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 ondisk 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 prevent the initializing
the uninit group bitmap initialization every time we do a
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
if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group),
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
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 168449
EXT4-fs warning (device sdb1): ext4_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file ...

We need to make sure we update the block bitmap and clear

ie on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a

The race results in below user visible errors
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_mb_release_inode_pa: free 100, pa_free 105
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): mb_free_blocks: double-free of inode 0's block ..
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
With this patch we track the block freed during a transaction using
red-black tree. We also make sure contiguous blocks freed are collected
in one node in the tree.
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 make 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:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.28-rc6-autokern1 #1
---------------------------------------------
fsstress/11948 is trying to acquire lock:

.....
Xen doesn't report that barriers are not supported until buffer I/O is
reported as completed, instead of when the buffer I/O is submitted.
Add a check and a fallback codepath to journal_wait_on_commit_record()
to detect this case, so that attempts to mount ext4 filesystems on
LVM/devicemapper devices on Xen guests don't blow up with an "Aborting
journal on device XXX"; "Remounting filesystem read-only" error.
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).
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.

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.

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.
Fix the initial value for input hwport. The old value (-1) may cause
Oops when an realtime MIDI byte is received before the input port is
explicitly given.
Instead, now it's set to the broadcasting as default.

HID: adjust report descriptor fixup for MS 1028 receiver

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.

As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.
Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.
With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab

should avoid grabbing the socket lock in the mmap handler.
Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for
pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we
can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.

Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the

plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast
addresses. The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast
addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash
against multicast addresses. This results in the filter
dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter.
The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set

In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm
of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually
do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link
afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this.
Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing
done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to
napi_enable().
I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the
initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call
inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts
subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break

complete the data transfer. The solution is to timestamp
the chunk when it's added to the packet for transmission
purposes. After the packet is trsnmitted the rtx timer
is restarted. This guarantees that when the timer expires,
there will be data to retransmit.

Commit 62aeaff5ccd96462b7077046357a6d7886175a57
(sctp: Start T3-RTX timer when fast retransmitting lowest TSN)
introduced a regression where it was possible to forcibly
restart the sctp retransmit timer at the transmission of any
new chunk. This resulted in much longer timeout times and
sometimes hung sctp connections.

crc32c algorithm provides a byteswaped result. On little-endian
arches, the result ends up in big-endian/network byte order.
On big-endinan arches, the result ends up in little-endian
order and needs to be byte swapped again. Thus calling cpu_to_le32
gives the right output.

Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

It made the following changes:
1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.
However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3. Change 1 is a bug. Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later. And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.
This patch does the following:
1. Undo changes 1 and 2
2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
in _code_, not only in the commit).

With the new system call defines we get this on uml:
arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'
Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.
To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.

Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.
This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.
Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

Since netmos 9835 with subids 0x1014(IBM):0x0299 is now bound with
serial/8250_pci, because it has no parallel ports and subdevice id isn't
in the expected form, return -ENODEV from probe function.
This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.
This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277
Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.
This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.
The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

If a client requests a blocking lock, is denied, then requests it again,
then here in nlmsvc_lock() we will call vfs_lock_file() without FL_SLEEP
set, because we've already queued a block and don't need the locks code
to do it again.
But that means vfs_lock_file() will return -EAGAIN instead of
FILE_LOCK_DENIED. So we still need to translate that -EAGAIN return
into a nlm_lck_blocked error in this case, and put ourselves back on
lockd's block list.
The bug was introduced by bde74e4bc64415b1 "locks: add special return
value for asynchronous locks".

The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
syscalls. Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'
because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:
/**
* sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.
But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.
This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604
about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.
With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

If the member 'name' of the irq_desc structure happens to point to a
character string that is resident within a kernel module, problems ensue
if that module is rmmod'd (at which time dynamic_irq_cleanup() is called)
and then later show_interrupts() is called by someone.
It is also not a good thing if the character string resided in kmalloc'd
space that has been kfree'd (after having called dynamic_irq_cleanup()).
dynamic_irq_cleanup() fails to NULL the 'name' member and
show_interrupts() references it on a few architectures (like h8300, sh and
x86).

There is a race between sctp_rcv() and sctp_accept() where we
have moved the association from the listening socket to the
accepted socket, but sctp_rcv() processing cached the old
socket and continues to use it.
The easy solution is to check for the socket mismatch once we've
grabed the socket lock. If we hit a mis-match, that means
that were are currently holding the lock on the listening socket,
but the association is refrencing a newly accepted socket. We need
to drop the lock on the old socket and grab the lock on the new one.
A more proper solution might be to create accepted sockets when
the new association is established, similar to TCP. That would
eliminate the race for 1-to-1 style sockets, but it would still
existing for 1-to-many sockets where a user wished to peeloff an
association. For now, we'll live with this easy solution as
it addresses the problem.

This patch (as1202) adds Pentax to usb-storage's list of bad vendors
whose devices always need the CAPACITY_HEURISTICS flag. This is in
addition to the existing entries: Nokia, Nikon, and Motorola.
Section B.6.2 of ACPI 3.0b specification that defines _BCL method
doesn't require the brightness levels returned to be sorted.
At least ThinkPad SL300 (and probably all IdeaPads) returns the
array reversed (i.e. bightest levels have lowest indexes), which
causes the brightness management behave in completely reversed
manner on these machines (brightness increases when the laptop is
idle, while the display dims when used).
Sorting the array by brightness level values after reading the list
fixes the issue.
