Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state
0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been
received). Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck
afterwards.
I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load
situations most probably caused by interference or noise.
A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition.
This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same
is done for other NACK states as well.
Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another
START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested,
I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help
as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

When fetching DDC using i2c algo bit, we were often seeing timeouts
before getting valid EDID on a retry. The VESA spec states 2ms is the
DDC timeout, so when this translates into 1 jiffie and we are close
to the end of the time period, it could return with a timeout less than
2ms.
Change this code to use time_after instead of time_after_eq.

One of the changes between kernels 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 is that a branch profiler
has been added for if() statements. Unfortunately this patch makes the sparse
output unusable with CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING=y: when branch profiling is
enabled, sparse prints so much false positives that the real issues are no
longer visible. This behavior can be reproduced as follows:
* enable CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING, e.g. by running make allyesconfig or
make allmodconfig.
* run make C=2
Result: a huge number of the following sparse warnings.
...
include/linux/cpumask.h:547:2: warning: symbol '______r' shadows an earlier one
include/linux/cpumask.h:547:2: originally declared here
...
The patch below fixes this by disabling branch profiling while analyzing the
kernel code with sparse.

a recent fix to e1000 (commit 15b2bee2) caused KVM/QEMU/VMware based
virtualized e1000 interfaces to begin failing when resetting.
This is because the driver in a virtual environment doesn't
get to run instructions *AT ALL* when an interrupt is asserted.
The interrupt code runs immediately and this recent bug fix
allows an interrupt to be possible when the interrupt handler
will reject it (due to the new code), when being called from
any path in the driver that holds the E1000_RESETTING flag.
the driver should use the __E1000_DOWN flag instead of the
__E1000_RESETTING flag to prevent interrupt execution
while reconfiguring the hardware.

When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this
can sometimes fail.
Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.
This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.
If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).
This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.
This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.
If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t. This patches
add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
up.
This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
member devices that are larger than 2TB.
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.
It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.
So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.
On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.
This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed

tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.
This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.
While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters

effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.
Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

write_lock(¤t->fs->lock) guarantees we can't wrongly miss
LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, this is what we care about. Use rcu_read_lock()
instead of ->siglock to iterate over the sub-threads. We must see
all CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_FS threads which didn't pass exit_fs(), it
takes fs->lock too.
With or without this patch we can miss the freshly cloned thread
and set LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, we don't care.
If do_execve() fails after check_unsafe_exec(), it clears fs->in_exec
unconditionally. This is wrong if we race with our sub-thread which
also does do_execve:
Two threads T1 and T2 and another process P, all share the same
->fs.
T1 starts do_execve(BAD_FILE). It calls check_unsafe_exec(), since
->fs is shared, we set LSM_UNSAFE but not ->in_exec.
P exits and decrements fs->users.
T2 starts do_execve(), calls check_unsafe_exec(), now ->fs is not
shared, we set fs->in_exec.
T1 continues, open_exec(BAD_FILE) fails, we clear ->in_exec and
return to the user-space.
T1 does clone(CLONE_FS /* without CLONE_THREAD */).
T2 continues without LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE while ->fs is shared with
another process.
Change check_unsafe_exec() to return res = 1 if we set ->in_exec, and change
do_execve() to clear ->in_exec depending on res.
When do_execve() suceeds, it is safe to clear ->in_exec unconditionally.
It can be set only if we don't share ->fs with another process, and since
we already killed all sub-threads either ->in_exec == 0 or we are the
only user of this ->fs.
Also, we do not need fs->lock to clear fs->in_exec.
* all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of
old fs->lock
* refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection)
* its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the
same time we decide whether to free it.
* put_fs_struct() is gone
* new field - ->in_exec. Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do
execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct. Cleared when finishing exec
(success and failure alike). Makes CLONE_FS fail with -EAGAIN if set.
* check_unsafe_exec() may fail with -EAGAIN if another execve() from subthread
is in progress.

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it.
It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the
check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.
check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient
use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid,
in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec
also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one).
We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs,
replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get
while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.
Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely,
a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way,
they have a health check running lsof every few minutes.
Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient
use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count
has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except
while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check.
[Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier
releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().]

2.6.26's commit fd8328be874f4190a811c58cd4778ec2c74d2c05
"sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()"
moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts
to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to
compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across
exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel.
It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared
across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd
leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel
ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.
powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code
This has been backported to 2.6.29.x from commit efbda86098 in Linus' tree
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.
This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.
Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.
This patch (as1229-3) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the
usb-serial driver. The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is
created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is
active.
Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected,
not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated.
Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding
port structure, and the reference should be released when
the file is closed.
serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to
resolve the classic race between open and disconnect.
serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex
and port->mutex at the same time.
Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing
all the other references, in case one of the release routines
needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module.
Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to
deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync(). Also, add a call to
cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine.
Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect().
The only place it really needs to protect is where the
"disconnected" flag is set.
Call the shutdown method from within serial_disconnect()
instead of destroy_serial(), because some subdrivers expect
the port data structures still to be in existence when
their shutdown method runs.

While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.
We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.
The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within

The intention of commit aae8679b0ebcaa92f99c1c3cb0cd651594a43915
("pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of
/proc/pid/pagemap") was to force reads of /proc/pid/pagemap to be a
multiple of 8 bytes, but now it allows to read 0 bytes, which actually
puts some data to user's buffer. According to POSIX, if count is zero,
read() should return zero and has no other results.

This patch corrects a pretty big oversight in the KMS code for 965+
chips. The current code is missing tiled surface register programming,
so userland can allocate a tiled surface and use it for mode setting,
resulting in corruption. This patch fixes that, allowing for tiled
front buffers on 965+.
st driver uses blk_rq_map_user() in order to just build a request out
of page frames. In this case, map_data->offset is a non zero value and
iov[0].iov_base is NULL. We need to increase nr_pages for that.
Without this patch, Broadcom BCM5906 Ethernet controllers set up via MSI
cause the machine to hang. Tejun agreed that the best is to blacklist
the whole chipset and after adding it, seeing the other VIA quirks
disabling MSI, this very much looks like the right way.
In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().
At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
FPU state of the process.
Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
onto the user stack.
This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
__cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.

This problem exists since 2.6.26-rc1.

This patch adds poisoning and sanity checking to the RX DMA buffers.
This is used for protection against buggy hardware/firmware that raises
RX interrupts without doing an actual DMA transfer.
This mechanism protects against rare "bad packets" (due to uninitialized skb data)
and rare kernel crashes due to uninitialized RX headers.
The poison is selected to not match on valid frames and to be cheap for checking.
The poison check mechanism _might_ trigger incorrectly, if we are voluntarily
receiving frames with bad PLCP headers. However, this is nonfatal, because the
chance of such a match is basically zero and in case it happens it just results
in dropping the packet.
Bad-PLCP RX defaults to off, and you should leave it off unless you want to listen
to the latest news broadcasted by your microwave oven.
This patch also moves the initialization of the RX-header "length" field in front of
the mapping of the DMA buffer. The CPU should not touch the buffer after we mapped it.

Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer
is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding
the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's
received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder
buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw,
second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into
cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch,
there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

Commit ae46141ff08f1965b17c531b571953c39ce8b9e2 (NFSv3: Fix posix ACL code)
introduces a bug in the calculation of the XDR header iovec. In the case
where we are inlining the acls, we need to adjust the length of the iovec
req->rq_svec, in addition to adjusting the total buffer length.
When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error
which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO
packets are normally non-linear in the payload).
These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun
driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible.
This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier
it is still the norm.
Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun
in 2.6.29.

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.
This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.

Without this the other cpu can still write to a freed host physical page.
tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock
is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add
the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush

sg_rq_end_io() is called via rq->end_io. In some rare cases,
sg_rq_end_io calls blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user (when a program
issuing a command has gone before the command completion; e.g. by
interrupting a program issuing a command before the command
completes).
The problem is that scsi_error_handler() calls rq->end_io too. We
can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user too in this path (we hold
q->queue_lock).
To avoid the above problem, in these rare cases, this patch always
uses schedule_work() instead of execute_in_process_context().

You can reproduce this bug by interrupting a program before a sg
response completes. This leads to the special sg state (the orphan
state), then sg calls blk_put_request in interrupt (rq->end_io).
The above bug report shows the recursive lock problem because sg calls
blk_put_request in interrupt. We could call __blk_put_request here
instead however we also need to handle blk_rq_unmap_user here, which
can't be called in interrupt too.
In the orphan state, we don't need to care about the data transfer
(the program revoked the command) so adding 'just free the resource'
mode to blk_rq_unmap_user is a possible option.
I prefer to avoid complicating the blk mapping API when possible. I
change the orphan state to call sg_finish_rem_req via
execute_in_process_context. We hold sg_fd->kref so sg_fd doesn't go
away until keventd_wq finishes our work. copy_from_user/to_user fails
so blk_rq_unmap_user just frees the resource without the data
transfer.
