We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.
We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().
kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.
Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
likely.

mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks
strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its
single caller, m_start().
It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.
Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.
Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.
With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from
a dying "ps" program, we found following problem.
clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This
support includes two features.
One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the
TID value.
One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created
thread dies.
The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone()
time.
kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid.
At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user
provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one.
As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user
memory in forked processes.
Following sequence could happen:
1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that
glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
...) syscall
2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a
location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context
(&THREAD_SELF->tid)
3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program.
current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value)
4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits,
kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by
current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() :
/*
* We don't check the error code - if userspace has
* not set up a proper pointer then tough luck.
*/
<< here >> put_user(0, tidptr);
sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
}
5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid
users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program
could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped
file)
If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the
new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with
unexpected effects.
Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.
The FIEMAP_IOC_FIEMAP mapping ioctl was missing a 32-bit compat handler,
which means that 32-bit suerspace on 64-bit kernels cannot use this ioctl

The current code to set up the GART as an IOMMU enables GART
translations before it removes the aperture from the kernel memory
map, sets the GART PTEs to UC, sets up the guard and scratch

aliasing open and can cause system crashes.
Re-order the code so as to enable the GART translations only
after all safeguards are in place and the tlb has been flushed.

If gcc chooses to put flags on the stack, for instance because this is

address used for pop will still be the same. It will write to
somewhere near flags on the stack but not actually into it and
overwrite some other value.

Requests to get max LUN, for certain USB storage devices, require a
longer timeout before a correct reply is returned. This happens for a
Realtek USB Card Reader (0bda:0152), which has a max LUN of 3 but is set

quickly.
Raising the timeout value fixes the issue and might help other devices
to return a correct max LUN value as well.
Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,
undock, bay ejection, etc).
OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.
It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI. This is old,
deprecated code that sees little testing or use.
As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi
bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig. The dead code will be
removed by a later patch.
This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning
pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low. However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.
This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.
There's a hotplug problem in the way libsas allocates ports: it loops over the
available ports first trying to add to an existing for a wide port and
otherwise allocating the next free port. This scheme only works if the port
array is packed from zero, which fails if a port gets hot unplugged and the
array becomes sparse. In that case, a new port is formed even if there's a
wide port it should be part of. Fix this by creating two loops over all the
ports: the first to see if the phy should be part of a wide port and the
second to form a new port in an empty port slot.

The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.
The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

This caused suspend to fail on the system in

(This is an update to the patch presented earlier in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/8/284, with new error handling.)
This patch sets the power of PnP ACPI devices to D0 when they
are activated and to D3 when they are disabled. The latter is
in correspondence with the ACPI 3.0 specification, whereas the
former is added in order to be able to power up a device after
it has been previously disabled (or when booting up a system).
(As a consequence, the patch makes the PnP ACPI code more ACPI
compliant.)
Section 6.2.2 of the ACPI Specification (at least versions 1.0b
and 3.0a) states: "Prior to running this control method [_DIS],
the OS[PM] will have already put the device in the D3 state."
Unfortunately, there is no clear statement as to when to put
a device in the D0 state. :-( Therefore, the patch executes the
method calls as _PS3/_DIS and _SRS/_PS0. What is clear: "If the
device is disabled, _SRS enables the device at the specified
resources." (From the ACPI 3.0a Specification.)
The patch fixes a problem with some IBM ThinkPads (at least the
600E and the 600X) where the serial ports have a dedicated
power source that needs to be brought up before the serial port
can be used. Without this patch, the serial port is enabled
but has no power. (In the past, the tpctl utility had to be
utilized to turn on the power, but support for this feature
stopped with version 5.9 as it did not support the more recent
kernel versions.)
The error handlers that handle any errors that can occur during
the power up/power down phases return the error codes to the
caller directly. Comments welcome! :-)
No regressions were observed on hardware that does not require
this patch.

...so that we can distinguish between when we need to shutdown and when we
don't. Also remove the call to xs_tcp_shutdown() from xs_tcp_connect(),
since xprt_connect() makes the same test.
If the socket is unconnected, and xprt_transmit() returns ENOTCONN, we
currently give up the lock on the transport channel. Doing so means that
the lock automatically gets assigned to the next task in the xprt->sending
queue, and so that task needs to be woken up to do the actual connect.
The following patch aims to avoid that unnecessary task switch.
It's really not right to use 'access_ok()', since that is meant for the
normal "get_user()" and "copy_from/to_user()" accesses, which are done
through the TLB, rather than through the page tables.
Why? access_ok() does both too few, and too many checks. Too many,
because it is meant for regular kernel accesses that will not honor the
'user' bit in the page tables, and because it honors the USER_DS vs
KERNEL_DS distinction that we shouldn't care about in GUP. And too few,
because it doesn't do the 'canonical' check on the address on x86-64,
since the TLB will do that for us.
So instead of using a function that isn't meant for this, and does
something else and much more complicated, just do the real rules: we
don't want the range to overflow, and on x86-64, we want it to be a
canonical low address (on 32-bit, all addresses are canonical).

There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent
he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128.
The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this:
unsigned char i, ...
for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
..
is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just
branches to itself.
This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we
could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv'
instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop
induction variable be an 'int' instead.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
I suspect the gcc problem is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied
because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors,
but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work.
Original description:
This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We
should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of
1514.
Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived
at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip
I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels.
Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

This fixes kernel.org bug #13584. The IOVA code attempted to optimise
the insertion of new ranges into the rbtree, with the unfortunate result
that some ranges just didn't get inserted into the tree at all. Then
those ranges would be handed out more than once, and things kind of go
downhill from there.
This patch removes the dependency of mmap_min_addr on CONFIG_SECURITY.
It also sets a default mmap_min_addr of 4096.
mmapping of addresses below 4096 will only be possible for processes
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux doesn't
include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using this
personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a
process running as setuid root. This could be used in those scenarios:
- Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary
- Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by
running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us
control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we
could get the first page mapped in a process we control. By further
using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely
bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions.
Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added
since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address
space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away
some "useless" checks for null pointers. Such bugs can sometimes become
exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html
An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672.
The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can
be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release
acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt).
Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

After downing/upping a cpu, an attempt to set
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction results in an oops in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler().
If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to
the boot pageset.
Updates of the high water marks should not access pagesets of unpopulated
zones (those pointer go to the boot pagesets which would be no longer
functional if their size would be increased beyond zero).
When decoding (N)RPN sequencer events into raw MIDI commands, the
extra_decode_xrpn() function had accidentally swapped the MSB and LSB
controller values of both the parameter number and the data value.
According to the PCI PM specification (PCI Bus Power Management
Interface Specification, Rev. 1.2, Section 5.4.1) we are supposed to
reinitialize devices that have PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET clear during
all transitions from PCI_D3hot to PCI_D0, but we only do it if the
device's current_state field is equal to PCI_UNKNOWN.
This may lead to problems if a device with PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET
unset is put into PCI_D3hot at run time by its driver and
pci_set_power_state() is used to put it back into PCI_D0, because in
that case the device will remain uninitialized after
pci_set_power_state() has returned. Prevent that from happening by
modifying pci_raw_set_power_state() to reinitialize devices with
PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET unset during all transitions from D3 to D0.

If a PCI device is not power-manageable either by the platform, or
with the help of the native PCI PM interface, pci_target_state() will
return either PCI_D3hot, or PCI_POWER_ERROR for it, depending on
whether or not the device is configured to wake up the system. Alas,
none of these return values is correct, because each of them causes
pci_prepare_to_sleep() to return error code, although it should
complete successfully in such a case.
Fix this problem by making pci_target_state() always return PCI_D0
for devices that cannot be power managed.

parport_pc_probe_port() creates the own 'parport_pc' device if the
device argument is NULL. Then parport_pc_probe_port() doesn't
initialize the dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask of the device and calls
dma_alloc_coherent with it. dma_alloc_coherent fails because
dma_alloc_coherent() doesn't accept the uninitialized dma_mask:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/16/150
Long ago, X86_32 and X86_64 had the own dma_alloc_coherent
implementations; X86_32 accepted a device having dma_mask that is not
initialized however X86_64 didn't. When we merged them, we chose to
prohibit a device having dma_mask that is not initialized. I think
that it's good to require drivers to set up dma_mask (and
coherent_dma_mask) properly if the drivers want DMA.
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO probes for various superio chips by writing
byte sequences to a set of different potential I/O ranges. But the
probed ranges are not exclusive to parallel ports. Some of our boards
just happen to have a watchdog in one of them. Took us almost a week
to figure out why some distros reboot without warning after running
flawlessly for 3 hours. For exactly 170 = 0xAA minutes, that is ...
Fixed by restoring original values after probing. Also fixed too small
request_region() in detect_and_report_it87().

I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS
for both sides of a bidirectional connection.
man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it
also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial
packet."
However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised
MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(),
I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte
packets in reply.
This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation.
This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to
that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before
connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would
expect as well as that which is documented.
I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS
are set correctly.

In the unlikely event that reshape progresses past the current request
while it is waiting for a stripe we need to schedule() before retrying
for 2 reasons:
1/ Prevent list corruption from duplicated list_add() calls without
intervening list_del().
2/ Give the reshape code a chance to make some progress to resolve the
conflict.

On a system where system memory (according e820) is not covered by
mtrr, mtrr_trim_memory converts a portion of memory to reserved, but
bootloader has already put the initrd in that range.
Thus, we need to have 64bit to use relocate_initrd too.

The ConnectX Programmer's Reference Manual states that the "SO" bit
must be set when posting Fast Register and Local Invalidate send work
requests. When this bit is set, the work request will be executed
only after all previous work requests on the send queue have been
executed. (If the bit is not set, Fast Register and Local Invalidate
WQEs may begin execution too early, which violates the defined
semantics for these operations)

The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.
This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses. It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.
Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource. The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22. His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
$ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources # floppy device
PNP0700
state = active
io 0x3f4-0x3f5
io 0x3f2-0x3f2

The missing device table means that the floppy module is not auto-loaded,
even when the appropriate PNP device (0700) is found.
We don't actually use the table in the module, since the device doesn't
have a struct pnp_driver, but it's sufficient to cause an alias in the
module that udev/modprobe will use.
