This patch (as1320) fixes two problems related to interrupt-URB
scheduling in ehci-hcd.
URBs with an interval of 2 or 4 microframes aren't handled.
For the time being, the patch reduces to interval to 1 uframe.
URBs are constrained to have an interval no larger than 1024
frames by usb_submit_urb(). But some EHCI controllers allow
use of a schedule as short as 256 frames; for these
controllers we may have to decrease the interval to the
actual schedule length.
The second problem isn't very significant since few devices expose
interrupt endpoints with an interval larger than 256 frames. But the
first problem is critical; it will prevent the kernel from working
with devices having interrupt intervals of 2 or 4 uframes.
Memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL can cause IO to a storage
device which can fail resulting in a need to reset the device.
Therefore GFP_KERNEL cannot be safely used between usb_lock_device()
and usb_unlock_device(). Replace by GFP_NOIO.

This patch (as1330) fixes a bug in khbud's handling of remote
wakeups. When a device sends a remote-wakeup request, the parent hub
(or the host controller driver, for directly attached devices) begins
the resume sequence and notifies khubd when the sequence finishes. At
this point the port's SUSPEND feature is automatically turned off.
However the device needs an additional 10-ms resume-recovery time
(TRSMRCY in the USB spec). Khubd does not wait for this delay if the
SUSPEND feature is off, and as a result some devices fail to behave
properly following a remote wakeup. This patch adds the missing
delay to the remote-wakeup path.
It also extends the resume-signalling delay used by ehci-hcd and
uhci-hcd from 20 ms (the value in the spec) to 25 ms (the value we use
for non-remote-wakeup resumes). The extra time appears to help some
devices.

Since commit 7e790dd5fc937bc8d2400c30a05e32a9e9eef276 ("inotify: fix
error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
it gave watch descriptors back to userspace. Previous to this commit
inotify acted like the following:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2
but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where
open(file) = 1;
close(1);
open(file) = 1;
seemed perfectly reasonable. The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
quickly reused. KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
bug 558981.
Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior. It is still slightly
racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
and this will fix it for all real world cases. The race is as follows:
- task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
the hint.
- task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
- task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
- task removes the watch created by task2
- task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2
it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.
As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
reports in kerneloops.org. I'm working on the root cause of that idr
bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.

Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.
The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.
The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(),
where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented
only once, causing the backing object to not be released.
If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system,
this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan,
which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the
file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this,
see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>.
The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on
get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key()
also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its
callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning.
Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected:
the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(),
but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi().
The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31
this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set
pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed
user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling
pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new
waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on
unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses.
Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If
pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the
futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL.
This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the
futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch
between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the
user space futex is completely bogus.
The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact
that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way
for user space to spam the syslog.
Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match
return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created.
This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the
pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being

skb->dst before it is assigned.")
Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network
namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off,
the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference
would not occur.
So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was
disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by
people turning it on explicitly for namespace development.

Several leaks in audit_tree didn't get caught by commit 318b6d3d7ddbcad3d6867e630711b8a705d873d7, including the leak on normal
exit in case of multiple rules refering to the same chunk.
... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".
The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one. After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.
First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.
Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one. We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one. Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...
That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit. Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...
Commit fd8fbfc1 modified the way we find amount of reserved space
belonging to an inode. The amount of reserved space is checked
from dquot_transfer and thus inode_reserved_space gets called
even for filesystems that don't provide get_reserved_space callback
which results in a BUG.
Fix the problem by checking get_reserved_space callback and return 0 if
the filesystem does not provide it.

When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.
Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.
The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.
In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)
Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.
But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.
Yes, the add and remove cases do share the same basic loop and the
locking, but the compiler can inline and then CSE some of the end result
anyway. And splitting it up makes the code way easier to follow,
and makes it clearer exactly what the semantics are.
In particular, we must make sure that the FASYNC flag in file->f_flags
exactly matches the state of "is this file on any fasync list", since
not only is that flag visible to user space (F_GETFL), but we also use
that flag to check whether we need to remove any fasync entries on file
close.
We got that wrong for the case of a mixed use of file locking (which
tries to remove any fasync entries for file leases) and fasync.
Splitting the function up also makes it possible to do some future
optimizations without making the function even messier. In particular,
since the FASYNC flag has to match the state of "is this on a list", we
can do the following future optimizations:
- on remove, we don't even need to get the locks and traverse the list
if FASYNC isn't set, since we can know a priori that there is no
point (this is effectively the same optimization that we already do
in __fput() wrt removing fasync on file close)
- on add, we can use the FASYNC flag to decide whether we are changing
an existing entry or need to allocate a new one.
but this is just the cleanup + fix for the FASYNC flag.

Currently inode_reservation is managed by fs itself and this
reservation is transfered on dquot_transfer(). This means what
inode_reservation must always be in sync with
dquot->dq_dqb.dqb_rsvspace. Otherwise dquot_transfer() will result
in incorrect quota(WARN_ON in dquot_claim_reserved_space() will be
triggered)
This is not easy because of complex locking order issues
for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14739
The patch introduce quota reservation field for each fs-inode
(fs specific inode is used in order to prevent bloating generic
vfs inode). This reservation is managed by quota code internally
similar to i_blocks/i_bytes and may not be always in sync with
internal fs reservation.

- Unify dquot_reserve_space() and dquot_reserve_space()
- Unify dquot_release_reserved_space() and dquot_free_space()
- Also this patch add missing warning update to release_rsv()

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.
Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required

is wrong). So look for the VAT inode a bit before the end of the media.

When a DASD device is used with the DIAG discipline, the DIAG
initialization will indicate success or error with a respective
return code. So far we have interpreted a return code of 4 as error,
but it actually means that the initialization was successful, but
the device is read-only. To allow read-only devices to be used with

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.

As the hostap driver was converted to use net_device_ops, a mistake was
made in hostap_main.c (commit 5ae4efbcd2611562a8b93596be034e63495706a5).
Originally, the tx_queue_len was set to 0 for every other interface than
HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER, but the new fragment of code sets tx_queue_len to
0 only for HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER. The opposite of the previous
behavior makes the driver to drop all packets in AP mode.
Change the way 0 is assigned to tx_queue_len according to the original
logic.

commit 98468efddb101f8a29af974101c17ba513b07be1 changed
the allocation of cbs to use dma pools that don't return zeroed memory,
especially the cb->status field used to track which cb to clean, causing
(the visible) double freeing of skbs and a wrong free cbs count.
Now the cbs are explicitly zeroed at allocation time.

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().

While converting emi62 to use request_firmware(), the driver was also
changed to use the ihex helper functions. However, this broke the loading
of the FPGA firmware because the code tries to access the addr field of
the EOF record which works with a plain array that has an empty last
record but not with the ihex helper functions where the end of the data is
signaled with a NULL record pointer, resulting in:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<f80d248c>] emi62_load_firmware+0x33c/0x740 [emi62]
This can be fixed by changing the loop condition to test the return value
of ihex_next_binrec() directly (like in emi26.c).

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.
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.

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.
evms configures md arrays by:
open device
send ioctl
close device
for each different ioctl needed.
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.
sizeof(dev->dev_addr) is the size of a pointer. A few lines above, the
size of this field is obtained using netdev->addr_len for a call to memcpy,
so do the same here.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

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.
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".

In current vblank-wait implementation, if we turn off VGA output,
drm_wait_vblank will still wait on the disabled pipe until timeout,
because vblank on the pipe is assumed be enabled. This would cause
slow system response on some system such as moblin.
This patch resolve the issue by adding a drm helper function
drm_vblank_off which explicitly clear vblank_enabled[crtc], wake up
any waiting queue and save last vblank counter before turning off
crtc. It also slightly change drm_vblank_get to ensure that we will
will return immediately if trying to wait on a disabled pipe.

In commit 0512a9a8e277a9de2820211eef964473b714ae65, we unilaterally zero the
"pwm invert" bit in the fan behavior configuration register. On my PowerBook
G4, this results in the fans going to full speed at low temperature and
shutting off at high temperature because the pwm invert bit is supposed to be
set.
Therefore, record the pwm invert bit at driver load time, and write the bit
into the fan behavior control register. This restores correct behavior on my
PBG4 and should work around the bit being set to the wrong value after
suspend/resume (which is what the original patch was trying to fix). It also
fixes a minor omission where the pwm invert bit correction is NOT performed
when switching into automatic mode.

Since the rfkill rework in 2.6.31, the driver is always resuming with
the radios disabled.
Change thinkpad-acpi to ask the firmware to resume with the radios in
the last state. This fixes the Bluetooth and WWAN rfkill switches.
Note that it means we respect the firmware's oddities. Should the
user toggle the hardware rfkill switch on and off, it might cause the
radios to resume enabled.
UWB is an unknown quantity since it has nowhere the same level of
firmware support (no control over state storage in NVRAM, for
example), and might need further fixing. Testers welcome.
This change fixes a regression from 2.6.30.

When ext3_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or
generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already
instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we
have to truncate pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get
unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are
retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and
thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and
data corruption.
