When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack
and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from
reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with
multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different
codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes
in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and
thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter
code.
Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge
netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.
Currently the same reassembly queue might be used for packets reassembled
by conntrack in different positions in the stack (PREROUTING/LOCAL_OUT),
as well as local delivery. This can cause "packet jumps" when the fragment
completing a reassembled packet is queued from a different position in the
stack than the previous ones.
Add a "user" identifier to the reassembly queue key to seperate the queues
of each caller, similar to what we do for IPv4.

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check
whether a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit,
checks "curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs
to).
But this check return true(it's false positive) when:
<some path>/aa use_hierarchy == 0 <- hitting limit
<some path>/aa/00 use_hierarchy == 1 <- the task belongs to
This leads to killing an innocent task in aa/00. This patch is a fix for
this bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We should print information of mem_cgroup
which the task being killed, not current, belongs to.
The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the
callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but
it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive
loop limits.
In NOMMU mode clamp dac_mmap_min_addr to zero to cause the tests on it to be
skipped by the compiler. We do this as the minimum mmap address doesn't make
any sense in NOMMU mode.
mmap_min_addr and round_hint_to_min() can be discarded entirely in NOMMU mode.

When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.
Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.
The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is

The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has
always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code,
it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before
this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps
each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the
entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with
people before, but always conceded they were right because
removing it only made things not work at all on big endian
platforms.
However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now
finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition
about that code being wrong was right all along.
It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants
to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code
above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from
it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() --
it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a
little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense
to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not
all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for
instance is not.
Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are
completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the
priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values.
This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have
a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be
filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom.
Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image()
is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses
the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it
was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the
patch:
is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is
just fixing the sparse annotations.
Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a
1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP,
and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't
ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.
However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.
Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

It is not clear to me how the first "direct probe" here
happens, but this seems to be a race condition, if the
user requests to deauth after requesting assoc, but before
the assoc response is received. In that case, it may
happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to
cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held
because the user is requesting the deauth.
The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly
harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent
to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although
userspace was no longer expecting that.
To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the
race happened and in that case abort processing.

mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration
requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all
the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume
cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume
the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will
continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers,
queue work, and so on for a device which is completley
unfunctional.
The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and
warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch
is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware
reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable
anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a

(i.e. 0 < src_cnt % 8 < 3) where the tail operation does not need an

The assumption that acpi_table_parse passes the return value
of the hanlder function to the caller proved wrong
recently. The return value of the handler function is
totally ignored. This makes the initialization code for AMD
IOMMU buggy in a way that could cause a kernel panic on
initialization. This patch fixes the issue in the AMD IOMMU
driver.
The kernel gets EREMOTE and starts chasing a DFS referral at mount time.
The tcon reference is put, which puts the session reference too, but
neither pointer is zeroed out.
The mount gets retried (goto try_mount_again) with new mount info.
Session setup fails fails and rc ends up being non-zero. The code then
falls through to the end and tries to put the previously freed tcon
pointer again. Oops at: cifs_put_smb_ses+0x14/0xd0
Fix this by moving the initialization of the rc variable and the tcon,
pSesInfo and srvTcp pointers below the try_mount_again label. Also, add
a FreeXid() before the goto to prevent xid "leaks".

evms configures md arrays by:

close device

Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.
So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).
This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

When allocating the PCM buffer, use vmalloc_user() instead of vmalloc().
Otherwise, it would be possible for applications to play the previous
contents of the kernel memory to the speakers, or to read it directly if
the buffer is exported to userspace.
adev->dma_mode stores the transfer mode value not UDMA mode number
so the condition in cmd64x_set_dmamode() is always true and the higher
UDMA clock is always selected. This can potentially result in data
corruption when UDMA33 device is used, when 40-wire cable is used or
when the error recovery code decides to lower the device speed down.
The issue was introduced in the commit 6a40da0 ("libata cmd64x: whack
into a shape that looks like the documentation") which goes back to
kernel 2.6.20.
The clock turnaround code still doesn't work for several reasons:
- 'USE_DPLL' flag in 'ap->host->private_data' is never initialized
or updated, so the driver can only set the chip to the DPLL clock
mode, not the PCI mode;
- the driver doesn't serialize access to the channels depending on
the current clock mode like the vendor drivers, so the clock
turnaround is only executed "optionally", not always as it should be;
- the wrong ports are written to when hpt3x2n_set_clock() is called
for the secondary channel;
- hpt3x2n_set_clock() can inadvertently enable the disabled channels
when resetting the channel state machines.

Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.
If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.
On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.
Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.
cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported
xsetbv(); // enable the features known to OS
cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out the size of the context for features enabled
Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the
cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the
size of the context that is enabled).
As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2
optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use
the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel
crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE.
Add "volatile" for native_cpuid().

dio transfer always resets mdata->page_order to zero. It breaks
high-order pages previously allocated for non-dio transfer.
This patches adds reserved_page_order to st_buffer structure to save
page order for non-dio transfer.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14563
When enlarge_buffer() allocates 524288 from 0, st uses six-order page
allocation. So mdata->page_order is 6 and frp_seg is 2.
After that, if st uses dio, sgl_map_user_pages() sets
mdata->page_order to 0 for st_do_scsi(). After that, when we call
normalize_buffer(), it frees only free frp_seg * PAGE_SIZE (2 * 4096)
though we should free frp_seg * PAGE_SIZE << 6 (2 * 4096 << 6). So we
see buffer_size is set to 516096 (524288 - 8192).

After commits c82f63e411f1b58427c103bd95af2863b1c96dd1 (PCI: check saved
state before restore) and 4b77b0a2ba27d64f58f16d8d4d48d8319dda36ff (PCI:
Clear saved_state after the state has been restored) PCI drivers are
prevented from restoring the device standard configuration registers
twice in a row. These changes introduced a regression on ipr EEH
recovery.
The ipr device driver saves the PCI state only during the device probe
and restores it on ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space() during IOA resets. This
behavior is causing the EEH recovery to fail after the second error
detected, since the registers are not being restored.
One possible solution would be saving the registers after restoring
them. The problem with this approach is that while recovering from an
EEH error if pci_save_state() results in an EEH error, the adapter/slot
will be reset, and end up back in ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space(), but it
won't have a valid saved state to restore, so pci_restore_state() will
fail.
The following patch introduces a workaround for this problem, hacking
around the PCI API by setting pdev->state_saved = true before we do the
restore. It fixes the EEH regression and prevents that we hit another
EEH error during EEH recovery.

It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.
Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus(). This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.
This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

When do_nonlinear_fault() realizes that the page table must have been
corrupted for it to have been called, it does print_bad_pte() and returns
... VM_FAULT_OOM, which is hard to understand.
It made some sense when I did it for 2.6.15, when do_page_fault() just
killed the current process; but nowadays it lets the OOM killer decide who
to kill - so page table corruption in one process would be liable to kill
another.
Change it to return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead: that doesn't guarantee that
the process will be killed, but is good enough for such a rare
abnormality, accompanied as it is by the "BUG: Bad page map" message.
And recent HWPOISON work has copied that code into do_swap_page(), when it
finds an impossible swap entry: fix that to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS too.

On platforms where bios handles the thermal monitor interrupt,
APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI and OS
can't touch it.
Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clear all
the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in
all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked
(clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR).
And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt
on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP).
As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal
monitoring interrupt is generated.
Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP
and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value
on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control
on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

vmalloc: conditionalize build of pcpu_get_vm_areas()
No matching upstream commit as it was resolved differently there.
pcpu_get_vm_areas() is used only when dynamic percpu allocator is used
by the architecture. In 2.6.32, ia64 doesn't use dynamic percpu
allocator and has a macro which makes pcpu_get_vm_areas() buggy via
local/global variable aliasing and triggers compile warning.
The problem is fixed in upstream and ia64 uses dynamic percpu
allocators, so the only left issue is inclusion of unnecessary code
and compile warning on ia64 on 2.6.32.
Don't build pcpu_get_vm_areas() if legacy percpu allocator is in use.

Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO
buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices
have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices
have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require
hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO
size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software.
Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame
burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been
able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems
engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through
software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB.
Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits:
* The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the
max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the
bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which
should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system
bus load.
* The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work
as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes
data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each
queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of
the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding
false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue
is indeed stuck.
* Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered
when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single
stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.
