gfs2_lock() will skip locks on file which have mode set to 02666. This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped and will result in a BUG in locks_remove_flock().
gfs2_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when unlocking a file.
On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The
sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go
backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching
between cpus.
As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the
sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it
clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu
comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this,
early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes
up.
Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.
If no platform_data was givin to the device it's going to use it's default
platform data struct which has all fields initialized to zero. As a
result the driver is going to try to request gpio0 both as write protect
and card detect pin. Which of course will fail and makes the driver
unusable
Previously to the introduction of no_wprotect and no_detect the behavior
was to assume that if no platform data was given there is no write protect
or card detect pin. This patch restores that behavior.

The stacking code incorrectly scaled up the data offset in some cases
causing misaligned devices to report alignment. Rewrite the stacking
algorithm to remedy this.
The top device misalignment flag would not be set if the added bottom
device was already misaligned as opposed to causing a stacking failure.
Also massage the reporting so that an error is only returned if adding
the bottom device caused the misalignment. I.e. don't return an error
if the top is already flagged as misaligned.
lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments. The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input. That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases. Switch lcm() over to unsigned long
similar to gcd() and move the function from blk-settings.c to lib.

The TKIP key update callback is called from the RX path, where the driver
mutex is already locked. This results in a circular locking bug.
Avoid this by removing the lock.
Johannes noted that there is a separate bug: The callback still breaks on SDIO
hardware, because SDIO hardware access needs to sleep, but we are not allowed
to sleep in the callback due to mac80211's RCU locking.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

The backtrace points to an incorrect call from RTMPFreeTxRxRingMemory()
into linux_pci_unmap_single(). This appears to have been fixed in Linux
2.6.33 by this change:
The PCIBIOS_ errors are returned from the PCI functions generated by the
PCI_OP_READ() and PCI_OP_WRITE() macros.
In a similar manner, pcix_set_mmrbc() also returns the PCIBIOS_ error values
returned from pci_read_config_[word|dword]() and pci_write_config_word().
Following pcix_get_max_mmrbc()'s example, the following patch simply returns
-EINVAL for all PCIBIOS_ errors encountered by pcix_get_mmrbc(), and -EINVAL
or -EIO for those encountered by pcix_set_mmrbc().
This simplification was chosen in light of the fact that none of the current
callers of these functions are interested in the specific type of error
encountered. In the future, should this change, one could simply create a
function that maps each PCIBIOS_ error to a corresponding unique errno value,
which could be called by pcix_get_max_mmrbc(), pcix_get_mmrbc(), and
pcix_set_mmrbc().
Additionally, this patch eliminates some unnecessary variables.

An e1000 driver on a system with a PCI-X bus was always being returned
a value of 135 from both pcix_get_mmrbc() and pcix_set_mmrbc(). This
value reflects an error return of PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER from
pci_bus_read_config_dword(,, cap + PCI_X_CMD,).
This is because for a dword, the following portion of the PCI_OP_READ()
macro:
if (PCI_##size##_BAD) return PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER;
expands to:
if (pos & 3) return PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER;
And is always true for 'cap + PCI_X_CMD', which is 0xe4 + 2 = 0xe6. ('cap' is
the result of calling pci_find_capability(, PCI_CAP_ID_PCIX).)
The same problem exists for pci_bus_write_config_dword(,, cap + PCI_X_CMD,).
In both cases, instead of calling _dword(), _word() should be called.

For the PCI_X_STATUS register, pcix_get_max_mmrbc() is returning an incorrect
value, which is based on:
(stat & PCI_X_STATUS_MAX_READ) >> 12
Valid return values are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, which correspond to a 'stat'
(masked and right shifted by 21) of 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively.
A right shift by 11 would generate the correct return value when 'stat' (masked
and right shifted by 21) has a value of 1 or 2. But for a value of 0 or 3 it's
not possible to generate the correct return value by only right shifting.
Fix is based on pcix_get_mmrbc()'s similar dealings with the PCI_X_CMD register.

When a signal interrupts a Configure Endpoint command, the cmd_completion used
in xhci_configure_endpoint() is not re-initialized and the
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() will return failure. Initialize
cmd_completion in xhci_configure_endpoint().
The EHCI driver stores in usb_host_endpoint.hcpriv a pointer to either
an ehci_qh or an ehci_iso_stream structure, and uses the contents of the
hw_info1 field to distinguish the two cases.
After ehci_qh was split into hw and sw parts, ehci_iso_stream must also
be adjusted so that it again looks like an ehci_qh structure.
This fixes a NULL pointer access in ehci_endpoint_disable() when it
tries to access qh->hw->hw_info1.

The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations
are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of
"TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the
size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find()
rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on
the size of the tty_buffer.
This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the
size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc()
should not require high-order allocations.
We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up
small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively
for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try
so hard.
In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room,
which cannot itself enforce this break up.

We can fix this by making the call to put_nfs_open_context() happen when we
actually remove the write request from the inode (which is done by the
nfsiod thread in this case).
If the NFS_INO_REVAL_FORCED flag is set, that means that we don't yet have
an up to date attribute cache. Even if we hold a delegation, we must
put a GETATTR on the wire.
The issue occur while deleting 60 virtual ports through the sys
interface /sys/class/fc_vports/vport-X/vport_delete. It happen while in
a mistake each request sent twice for the same vport. This interface is
asynchronous, entering the delete request into a work queue, allowing
more than one request to enter to the delete work queue. The result is a
NULL pointer. The first request already delete the vport, while the
second request got a pointer to the vport before the device destroyed.
Re-create vport later cause system freeze.
Solution: Check vport flags before entering the request to the work queue.

Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a
BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online
while a system-wide perf record session was running.
The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize
the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu. If there is
a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct
perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will
be 2. (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry
and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't
remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement
the context's refcount.)
When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls
__perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context. That resets the
refcount to 1. Then when the perf record session finishes and the
perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the
context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period. Since the context
wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things
happen.
In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the
cpu comes up. It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot,
but we need to do it for all possible cpus.
This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time. With
this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed,
and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

When the CMI8738 FRAME2 register is read, the chip sometimes (probably
when wrapping around) returns an invalid value that would be outside the
programmed DMA buffer. This leads to an inconsistent PCM pointer that is
likely to result in an underrun.
To work around this, read the register multiple times until we get a
valid value; the error state seems to be very short-lived.

I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.
The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:
if (PageReadahead(page))
page_cache_async_readahead()
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_up_to_date;
//...
page_not_up_to_date:
lock_page_killable(page);
Therefore explicit unplugging can help.

The patch was found to improve performance with the SCST scsi target
driver. See
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=a0272b440906030714g67eabc5k8f847fb1e538cc62%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=scst-devel
On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load
balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This
is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with
all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket
completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share
the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be
taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc.
Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are
comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's
cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled
wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a
longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated
via this recent change:

| sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power
|
Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects
the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance
(default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies.
We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is
computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to
find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how
much load to move etc.
The bug is in virtio-pci: we use msix_vector as array index to get irq
entry, but some vqs do not have a dedicated vector so this causes an out
of bounds access. By chance, we seem to often get 0 value, which
results in this error.
Fix by verifying that vector is legal before using it as index.

We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode
when we have more than 8 CPUs. However, in the presence of CPU
hotplug(with bios listing not enabled but possible cpus as disabled cpus in
MADT), we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than
the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary
when CPUs are added later.

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.
This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.
Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.
The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of
pipes.
This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the
uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing
process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different
ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they
shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core
dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe
when it is created.
The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for
pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open
anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero

The current implementation of pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status
only clears either fatal or non-fatal error status bits depending
on the state of the I/O channel. This implementation will then often
leave some bits set after PCI error recovery completes. The uncleared bit
settings will then be falsely reported the next time an AER interrupt is
generated for that hierarchy. An easy way to illustrate this issue is to
use the aer-inject module to simultaneously inject both an uncorrectable
non-fatal and uncorrectable fatal error. One of the errors will not be
cleared.
This patch resolves this issue by unconditionally clearing all bits in
the AER uncorrectable status register. All settings and corrective action
strategies are saved and determined before
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status is called, so this change should not
affect errory handling functionality.

A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications
to segfault during the test.
Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several
traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer
was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing
this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed
to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench
did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would
trigger the segfault within seconds:
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable
# while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done
Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening
I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI.
1) | copy_user_handle_tail() {
1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() {
1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() {
1) | no_context() {
1) | fixup_exception() {

1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit();
[...]
1) 0.479 us | find_vma();
1) | bad_area() {
1) | __bad_area() {
After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened
after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI
handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I
found out it was here:
What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page
fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by
the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger
a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is
saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt
the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted.
The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that
each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and
increase the chances of the race happening.
The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context.
After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours
without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less
than a minute.

When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop()
is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace
output.
These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency
buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these
buffers between the two disables:
buffer = global_trace.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
<<<--------- swap happens here
buffer = max_tr.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start()
we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable()
must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer
can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug
where a reset happens while a trace is commiting.
This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent
a switch from occurring.

In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the
buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the
parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can
switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break
the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset.
To fix this, the rfcomm_session_put() needs to be moved out of
rfcomm_session_timeout() into rfcomm_process_sessions(). In that
context it is perfectly fine to sleep and disconnect the socket.

If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of
the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on.
This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack
variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in
ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following:
for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--)
next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp;
