This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new
Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd.
It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its
queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for
the QH's endpoint. Consequently we should not issue a warning
when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead
we should process the request immediately.
The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because
submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling
qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link
the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending.
Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH
actually is added to the schedule. The current code tries to
be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is
immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an
unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in
the opposite order).

This patch (as1256) changes ehci-hcd and all the other drivers in the
EHCI family to make use of the new clear_tt_buffer callbacks. When a
Clear-TT-Buffer request is in progress for a QH, the QH is not allowed
to be linked into the async schedule until the request is finished.
At that time, if there are any URBs queued for the QH, it is linked
into the async schedule.

This patch (as1255) updates the interface for calling
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer(). Even the name of the function is changed!
When an async URB (i.e., Control or Bulk) going through a high-speed
hub to a non-high-speed device is cancelled or fails, the hub's
Transaction Translator buffer may be left busy still trying to
complete the transaction. The buffer has to be cleared; that's what
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer() does.
It isn't safe to send any more URBs to the same endpoint until the TT
buffer is fully clear. Therefore the HCD needs to be told when the
Clear-TT-Buffer request has finished. This patch adds a callback
method to struct hc_driver for that purpose, and makes the hub driver
invoke the callback at the proper time.
The patch also changes a couple of names; "hub_tt_kevent" and
"tt.kevent" now look rather antiquated.

kthreads: fix kthread_create() vs kthread_stop() race
The bug should be "accidently" fixed by recent changes in 2.6.31,
all kernels <= 2.6.30 need the fix. The problem was never noticed before,
it was found because it causes mysterious failures with GFS mount/umount.
Credits to Robert Peterson. He blaimed kthread.c from the very beginning.
But, despite my promise, I forgot to inspect the old implementation until
he did a lot of testing and reminded me. This led to huge delay in fixing
this bug.
kthread_stop() does put_task_struct(k) before it clears kthread_stop_info.k.
This means another kthread_create() can re-use this task_struct, but the
new kthread can still see kthread_should_stop() == T and exit even without
calling threadfn().

Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional

inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up
deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.

If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.
Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

This dma_ops->dma_supported is first called in platform_dma_init() during kernel

Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.

To fix this issue, the driver needs to call mpt2sas_transport_update_links()

volume add and removal to ignore events for foreign volumes.
Kernel panic is seen because driver did not tear down the port which should

(Not needed upstream, due to the major rewrite in 2.6.31)
Due to rfkill and iwlwifi mishmash of SW / HW killswitch representation,
we have race conditions which make unable turn wifi radio on, after enable
and disable again killswitch. I can observe this problem on my laptop
with iwl3945 device.
In rfkill core HW switch and SW switch are separate 'states'. Device can
be only in one of 3 states: RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED, RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED,
RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED. Whereas in iwlwifi driver we have separate bits
STATUS_RF_KILL_HW and STATUS_RF_KILL_SW for HW and SW switches - radio can be
turned on, only if both bits are cleared.
In this particular race conditions, radio can not be turned on if in driver
STATUS_RF_KILL_SW bit is set, and rfkill core is in state
RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, because rfkill core is unable to call
rfkill->toggle_radio(). This situation can be entered in case:
- killswitch is turned on
- rfkill core 'see' button change first and move to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED
also call ->toggle_radio() and STATE_RF_KILL_SW in driver is set
- iwl3945 get info about button from hardware to set STATUS_RF_KILL_HW bit and
force rfkill to move to RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED
- killsiwtch is turend off
- driver clear STATUS_RF_KILL_HW
- rfkill core is unable to clear STATUS_RF_KILL_SW in driver
Additionally call to rfkill_epo() when STATUS_RF_KILL_HW in driver is set
cause move to the same situation.
In 2.6.31 this problem is fixed due to _total_ rewrite of rfkill subsystem.
This is a quite small fix for 2.6.30.x in iwlwifi driver. We are changing
internal rfkill state to always have below relations true:
So far, KVM copied the emulated_msrs (only MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE) to a

Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
char wc[4]="WC";
....
strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]
do {
ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
}
return 0;
}
quickly creates an unkillable task.
If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.
Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.
If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.
We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all. This patch only fixes the bug.
snd_interval_list() expected a sorted list but did not document this, so
there are drivers that give it an unsorted list. To fix this, change

The oops did not reveal any more details about the real stack
that we have and the system got into an infinite loop of
recursive pagefaults.
So i booted with CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y and the 'stacktrace' boot
parameter. The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably
changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the
/debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing:
There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but
the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to
the boot trace entry variables being on the stack.
Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally
serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope.
Note that this large stack footprint was present for a
couple of months already - what pushed my system over
the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain:
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().
In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.
Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.
Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

In commit a8e7d49aa7be728c4ae241a75a2a124cdcabc0c5 ("Fix race in
create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test
for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside
__set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers.
That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize
truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks
the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an
inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable. And
indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen.
Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when
under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla
entries that look similar:
We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
actually have received a request to start a block ack
request (rate control, for example). If we never received
that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
queue as it would be null, causing a panic.
Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
that will require some further review as it is not quite
obvious.

Change rt2x00_rf_read() and rt2x00_rf_write() to subtract 1 from the rf
register number. This is needed because the rf registers are enumerated
starting with one. The size of the rf register cache is just enough to
hold all registers, so writing to the highest register was corrupting
memory. Add a check to make sure that the rf register number is valid.

If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is
called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should
appear in the given node's fallback list.
Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected.
This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance.
This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time.
Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use
cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send
an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy
with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that
case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying
reason for why those empty mask cases happened.
This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the
current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be
sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is
empty.
The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just
the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change
flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that,
the cpumask was no longer thread-local.
Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of
'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush
routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing
it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush
routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that
could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other
CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.
The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode
to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be
empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy. So
just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it.
This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f9620 ("x86:
change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented
here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933
which causes a silent lock-up. It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3
and Athlon XP cores. Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're
a developer..) have more modern CPU's. Also, on x86-64 we don't use the
flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't
like sending an empty IPI mask.

When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.
So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.
It was first set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and
later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before.
As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be
non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first
poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not be
called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done.
This patch initialize triggered to 0 in poll_initwait() so the ->poll()
are not called twice before the process goes to sleep when it needs to.
This patch fixes the napi list handling when an ehea interface is shut
down to avoid corruption of the napi list.

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().

ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()
Backport for 2.6.30-stable of:
469535a ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()
When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a
padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is
called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high
workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding
event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the
calling function now.
Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume().
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.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it
can't be changed to the new mm under us.
Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless
security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never
return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.
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.
With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
processor for VMI's case.
The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
__KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.
access_ok() checks must be done on every part of the userspace structure
that is accessed. If access_ok() on one part of the struct succeeded, it
does not imply it will succeed on other parts of the struct. (Does
depend on the architecture implementation of access_ok()).
This changes the __get_user() users to first check access_ok() on the
data structure.

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
command.
The structure is nicely aligned, padded, and sized, so it is just this
simple.
Tested w/ 32-bit ioctl tester (from Josef) on a 64-bit kernel on ext4.

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 v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow
when devices are added.
If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage,
we need to update the 'sb_size' to match.
Without this, md can write out an incomplete superblock with a
bad checksum, which will be rejected when trying to re-assemble
the array.
