snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() incorrectly reports information

Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.
This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.
Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.
Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

This patch (as1097) fixes a bug in the remote-wakeup handling in
ehci-hcd. The driver currently does not keep track of whether the
change-suspend feature is enabled for each port; the feature is
automatically reset the first time it is read. But recent changes to
the hub driver require that the feature be read at least twice in
order to work properly.
A bit-vector is added for storing the change-suspend feature values.

When using the HIDP or BNEP kernel support, the user-space needs to
know if the connection has been terminated for some reasons. Wake up
the application if that happens. Otherwise kernel and user-space are
no longer on the same page and weird behaviors can happen.
I received a complaint that some FAT formated medias (e.g. sd memory cards)
trigger a "unknown partition table" message even though there is no partition
table and they work correctly, while in general (when e.g. formated with
mkdosfs or even Windows Vista) this message is not shown.
Currently this seems only to happen when the medias get formatted with Windows
XP (and possibly Win 2000). Then the boot indicator byte contains garbage
(part of text message) and so do the other parts checked by msdos_paritition
which then later triggers this message.
References: novell bug #364365
Most fat formatted media without partition table contains zeros in the boot
indication and the other tested bytes and so falls through the checks in
msdos_partition, leading it to return with 1 (all is fine).
But some (e.g. WinXP formatted) fat fomated medias don't use boot_ind and so
the check fails and causes a "unkown partition table" warning eventhough there
is none and everything would be fine.
This additional check directly verifies if there is a fat formatted medium
without a partition table.

This patch introduces i8042_dmi_nopnp_table to make it possible to perform

There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to
its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers
counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter.
This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging
buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes
negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we
actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be
enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost
impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space.
The fix is to only
refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions
BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way
to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer.
This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible
that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only
gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if
the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs.
Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running
postmark, with them this issue no longer arises. Thank you,

journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when
the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data
buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers()
request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as
error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed
due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the
buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the
releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().
With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to
indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed,
let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the
current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.
The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd
lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.
This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch
removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
not then we know we didn't use it.
That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly
by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction
is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to
reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry
itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook
again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly
finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction
is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.
Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.

Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() [stable tree version]
A fix for incorrect flushing of the hash page table at fork() for
hugepages was recently committed as 86df86424939d316b1f6cfac1b6204f0c7dee317. Without this fix, a process
can make a MAP_PRIVATE hugepage mapping, then fork() and have writes
to the mapping after the fork() pollute the child's version.
Unfortunately this bug also exists in the stable branch. In fact in
that case copy_hugetlb_page_range() from mm/hugetlb.c calls
ptep_set_wrprotect() directly, the hugepage variant hook
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() doesn't even exist.
The patch below is a port of the fix to the stable25/master branch.
It introduces a huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() call, but this is #defined
to be equal to ptep_set_wrprotect() unless the arch defines its own
version and sets __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_SET_WRPROTECT.
This arch preprocessor flag is kind of nasty, but it seems the sanest
way to introduce this fix with minimum risk of breaking other archs
for whom prep_set_wprotect() is suitable for hugepages.

eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
commit 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee upstream

Subject: eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.
My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

It should be ordered like this :
read ptype
smp_rmb()
read multi array pointer
smp_read_barrier_depends()
access data referenced by multi array pointer
The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to

A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the
ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of
the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi
and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers.
The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it
helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it.
Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the
real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that
before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver.
I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the
problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values
to prove what was going on

What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be

make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the

This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally

This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet.
tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets
outstanding. Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have
packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the
probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and
we'll reset it.
This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x
timeframe. In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by
tcp_ack().

Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols
without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end
up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in
.text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only
outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger.
Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of
__attribute__((__hot__)) also .text.hot) to the TEXT_TEXT() macro.

Some iso9660 images contain files with rockridge data that is either
incorrect or incompletely parsed. Prior to commit f2966632a134e865db3c819346a1dc7d96e05309 ("[PATCH] rock: handle directory
overflows") (included with kernel 2.6.13) the kernel ignored the rockridge
data for these files, while still allowing the files to be accessed under
their non-rockridge names. That commit inadvertently changed things so
that files with invalid rockridge data could not be accessed at all. (I
ran across the problem when comparing some old CDs with hard disk copies I
had made long ago under kernel 2.4: a few of the files on the hard disk
copies were no longer visible on the CDs.)
This change reverts to the pre-2.6.13 behavior.

This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF.
Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted
wrap-around. Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838,
3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful.
Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.

When generating the ip header for the transformed packet we just copy
the frag_off field of the ip header from the original packet to the ip
header of the new generated packet. If we receive a packet as a chain
of fragments, all but the last of the new generated packets have the
IP_MF flag set. We have to mask the frag_off field to only keep the
IP_DF flag from the original packet. This got lost with git commit 36cf9acf93e8561d9faec24849e57688a81eb9c5 ("[IPSEC]: Separate

This patch fixes a potential memory corruption in
pppol2tp_recvmsg(). If skb->len is bigger than the caller's buffer
length, memcpy_toiovec() will go into unintialized data on the kernel
heap, interpret it as an iovec and start modifying memory.
The fix is to change the memcpy_toiovec() call to
skb_copy_datagram_iovec() so that paged packets (rare for PPPOL2TP)
are handled properly. Also check that the caller's buffer is big
enough for the data and set the MSG_TRUNC flag if it is not so.

Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq
and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the
softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from
running.
To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing
of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.
Even the newer ENE controllers have bugs in their DMA engine that make
it too dangerous to use. Disable it until someone has figured out under
which conditions it corrupts data.
This has caused problems at least once, and can be found as bug report
10925 in the kernel bugzilla.
The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.
For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

There is dma_mask in of_device upon of_platform_device_create()
but we don't actually set coherent_dma_mask. This may cause weird
behavior of USB subsystem using of_device USB host drivers.
The problem here is that if the ioc faults too early in the bring up
sequence (as it usually does for an irq routing problem), ioc_reset gets
called before the scsi host is even allocated. This causes an oops when
it later schedules a renegotiation. Fix this by checking ioc->sh before
trying to renegotiate.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating
the same framebuffer.
Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.
It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from
ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0. This made me
realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills
in 'value' with the result, and returns it. This is goes against general
kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function.
This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon
success. Thus, code like:
res = ov7670_read(...);
if (!res)
goto error;
.will work properly.

The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when HPET is enabled.
Newer hardware that has HPET to emulate the legacy RTC device gets this value
wrong since after it sets the rate, it returns before setting the variable
used to report the IRQ rate back to users of the device -- so the set rate and
the reported rate get out of sync.

"The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:
mov %edx,%ecx
shr $0x2,%ecx
rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault
So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)
%ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:
memset(object, 0, c->objsize);
i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...
c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

WUS-201), which works with the zd1211rw driver with the following device
id definition.

Lost connections was reported by Thomas Bätzler (running 2.6.25 kernel) on
the netfilter mailing list (see the thread "Weird nat/conntrack Problem
with PASV FTP upload"). He provided tcpdump recordings which helped to
find a long lingering bug in conntrack.
In TCP connection tracking, checking the lower bound of valid ACK could
lead to mark valid packets as INVALID because:
- We have got a "higher or equal" inequality, but the test checked
the "higher" condition only; fixed.
- If the packet contains a SACK option, it could occur that the ACK
value was before the left edge of our (S)ACK "window": if a previous
packet from the other party intersected the right edge of the window
of the receiver, we could move forward the window parameters beyond
accepting a valid ack. Therefore in this patch we check the rightmost
SACK edge instead of the ACK value in the lower bound of valid (S)ACK
test.

The current logic has a bug which cannot find matching pattern, if the
pattern is matched from the first character of target string.
for example:
pattern=abc, string=abcdefg
pattern=a, string=abcdefg
Searching algorithm should return 0 for those things.

Remove the dubious attempt to prefer 'compute' over 'read'. Not only is it
wrong given commit c337869d (md: do not compute parity unless it is on a failed
drive), but it can trigger a BUG_ON in handle_parity_checks5().

Even though the CAN netlayer only deals with CAN netdevices, the
netlayer interface to the userspace and to the device layer should
perform some sanity checks.
This patch adds several sanity checks that mainly prevent userspace apps
to send broken content into the system that may be misinterpreted by
some other userspace application.
