When a hole spans across page boundaries, the next write forces
a read of the block. This could end up reading existing garbage
data from the disk in ocfs2_map_page_blocks. This leads to
non-zero holes. In order to avoid this, mark the writes as new
when the holes span across page boundaries.

The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff
inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an
expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it
bigger and cause a wrapping condition.
Noticed by Robert Swiecki when running a system call fuzzer, where it
caused a BUG_ON() due to terminally confusing the vma_prio_tree code. A
vma dumping patch by Hugh then pinpointed the crazy wrapped case.

There's no reason to write quota info in dquot_commit(). The writing is a
relict from the old days when we didn't have dquot_acquire() and
dquot_release() and thus dquot_commit() could have created / removed quota
structures from the file. These days dquot_commit() only updates usage counters
/ limits in quota structure and thus there's no need to write quota info.
This also fixes an issue with journaling filesystem which didn't reserve
enough space in the transaction for write of quota info (it could have been
dirty at the time of dquot_commit() because of a race with other operation
changing it).

This patch fixes a debugging failure with which looks like this:
UBIFS error (pid 32313): dbg_check_space_info: free space changed from 6019344 to 6022654
The reason for this failure is described in the comment this patch adds
to the code. But in short - 'c->freeable_cnt' may be different before
and after re-mounting, and this is normal. So the debugging code should
make sure that free space calculations do not depend on 'c->freeable_cnt'.
A similar issue has been reported here:

On laptops with core i5/i7, there were reports that after resume
graphics workloads were performing poorly on a specific AP, while
the other cpu's were ok. This was observed on a 32bit kernel
specifically.
Debug showed that the PAT init was not happening on that AP
during resume and hence it contributing to the poor workload
performance on that cpu.
On this system, resume flow looked like this:
1. BP starts the resume sequence and we reinit BP's MTRR's/PAT
early on using mtrr_bp_restore()
2. Resume sequence brings all AP's online
3. Resume sequence now kicks off the MTRR reinit on all the AP's.
4. For some reason, between point 2 and 3, we moved from BP
to one of the AP's. My guess is that printk() during resume
sequence is contributing to this. We don't see similar
behavior with the 64bit kernel but there is no guarantee that
at this point the remaining resume sequence (after AP's bringup)
has to happen on BP.
5. set_mtrr() was assuming that we are still on BP and skipped the
MTRR/PAT init on that cpu (because of 1 above)
6. But we were on an AP and this led to not reprogramming PAT
on this cpu leading to bad performance.
Fix this by doing unconditional mtrr_if->set_all() in set_mtrr()
during MTRR/PAT init. This might be unnecessary if we are still
running on BP. But it is of no harm and will guarantee that after
resume, all the cpu's will be in sync with respect to the
MTRR/PAT registers.

root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when
a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added
readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you
may find the subvolumes in it are readonly.
To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags,
and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized.
When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if
not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

From the result of a function test of mmap, mmap write to shared pages
turned out to be broken for hole blocks. It doesn't write out filled
blocks and the data will be lost after umount. This is due to a bug
that the target file is not queued for log writer when filling hole
blocks.
Also, nilfs_page_mkwrite function exits normal code path even after
successfully filled hole blocks due to a change of block_page_mkwrite
function; just after nilfs was merged into the mainline,
block_page_mkwrite() started to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead of zero
by the patch "mm: close page_mkwrite races" (commit: b827e496c893de0c). The current nilfs_page_mkwrite() is not handling
this value properly.
This corrects nilfs_page_mkwrite() and will resolve the data loss
problem in mmap write.
[This should be applied to every kernel since 2.6.30 but a fix is
needed for 2.6.37 and prior kernels]

During device discovery, scsi mid layer sends INQUIRY command to LUN
0. If the LUN 0 is not mapped to host, it creates a temporary
scsi_device with LUN id 0 and sends REPORT_LUNS command to it. After
the REPORT_LUNS succeeds, it walks through the LUN table and adds each
LUN found to sysfs. At the end of REPORT_LUNS lun table scan, it will
delete the temporary scsi_device of LUN 0.
When scsi devices are added to sysfs, it calls add_dev function of all
the registered class interfaces. If ses driver has been registered,
ses_intf_add() of ses module will be called. This function calls
scsi_device_enclosure() to check the inquiry data for EncServ
bit. Since inquiry was not allocated for temporary LUN 0 scsi_device,
it will cause NULL pointer exception.
To fix the problem, sdev->inquiry is checked for NULL before reading it.

The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.
However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.
Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:
$ perf record ls
Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)
Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

If a device doesn't support power management (pm_cap == 0) but it is
acpi_pci_power_manageable() because there is a _PS0 method declared for
it and _EJ0 is also declared for the slot then nobody is going to set
current_state = PCI_D0 for this device. This is what I think it is
happening:
pci_enable_device
|
__pci_enable_device_flags
/* here we do not set current_state because !pm_cap */
|
do_pci_enable_device
|
pci_set_power_state
|
__pci_start_power_transition
|
pci_platform_power_transition
/* platform_pci_power_manageable() calls acpi_pci_power_manageable that
* returns true */
|
platform_pci_set_power_state
/* acpi_pci_set_power_state gets called and does nothing because the
* acpi device has _EJ0, see the comment "If the ACPI device has _EJ0,
* ignore the device" */
at this point if we refer to the commit message that introduced the
comment above (10b3dcae0f275e2546e55303d64ddbb58cec7599), it is up to
the hotplug driver to set the state to D0.
However AFAICT the pci hotplug driver never does, in fact
drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c:register_slot sets the slot flags to
(SLOT_ENABLED | SLOT_POWEREDON) but it does not set the pci device
current state to PCI_D0.
So my proposed fix is also to set current_state = PCI_D0 in
register_slot.
Comments are very welcome.

As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow. We
get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to
UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for
an unaligned address).
So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not
even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they
might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong.
Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate
error code.
[PG: In 34, var names are slightly different, 1b1f6's tot_pages is
34's nr_pages, and 1b1f6's nr_pages is 34's nr; so map accordingly.]

While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me
figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
denial
Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
security_d_instantiate.
Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok
as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With
this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.

Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory

This patch (as1453) fixes a long-standing bug in the ehci-hcd driver.
There is no need to set the Halt bit in the overlay region for an
unlinked or blocked QH. Contrary to what the comment says, setting
the Halt bit does not cause the QH to be patched later; that decision
(made in qh_refresh()) depends only on whether the QH is currently
pointing to a valid qTD. Likewise, setting the Halt bit does not
prevent completions from activating the QH while it is "stopped"; they
are prevented by the fact that qh_completions() temporarily changes
qh->qh_state to QH_STATE_COMPLETING.
On the other hand, there are circumstances in which the QH will be
reactivated _without_ being patched; this happens after an URB beyond
the head of the queue is unlinked. Setting the Halt bit will then
cause the hardware to see the QH with both the Active and Halt bits
set, an invalid combination that will prevent the queue from
advancing and may even crash some controllers.
Apparently the only reason this hasn't been reported before is that
unlinking URBs from the middle of a running queue is quite uncommon.
However Test 17, recently added to the usbtest driver, does exactly
this, and it confirms the presence of the bug.
In short, there is no reason to set the Halt bit for an unlinked or
blocked QH, and there is a very good reason not to set it. Therefore
the code that sets it is removed.

A virtualized display device is usually viewed with the vncviewer
application, either by 'xm vnc domU' or with vncviewer localhost:port.
vncviewer and the RFB protocol provides absolute coordinates to the
virtual display. These coordinates are either passed through to a PV
guest or converted to relative coordinates for a HVM guest.
A PV guest receives these coordinates and passes them to the kernels
evdev driver. There it can be picked up by applications such as the
xorg-input drivers. Using absolute coordinates avoids issues such as
guest mouse pointer not tracking host mouse pointer due to wrong mouse
acceleration settings in the guests X display.
Advertise either absolute or relative coordinates to the input system
and the evdev driver, depending on what dom0 provides. The xorg-input
driver prefers relative coordinates even if a devices provides both.

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

Unfortunately the Kconfig option is marked tristate which means the variable

Instead of relying on the data segment being below 4GB, use the static

When we are crashing, the crashing/primary CPU IPIs the secondaries to
turn off IRQs, go into real mode and wait in kexec_wait. While this
is happening, the primary tears down all the MMU maps. Unfortunately
the primary doesn't check to make sure the secondaries have entered
real mode before doing this.
On PHYP machines, the secondaries can take a long time shutting down
the IRQ controller as RTAS calls are need. These RTAS calls need to
be serialised which resilts in the secondaries contending in
lock_rtas() and hence taking a long time to shut down.
We've hit this on large POWER7 machines, where some secondaries are
still waiting in lock_rtas(), when the primary tears down the HPTEs.
This patch makes sure all secondaries are in real mode before the
primary tears down the MMU. It uses the new kexec_state entry in the
paca. It times out if the secondaries don't reach real mode after
10sec.

In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to
kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets
the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on
which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to
the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance)
but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU
-1... Kaboom!
We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines.
There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU
mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode.
Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before
guaranteeing that no more will be received.
This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the
primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the
secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs,
rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is
again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode.
It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out
any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no
trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.
Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.
Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.
Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Remove the call to tty_ldisc_flush() from the RESULT_NO_CARRIER
branch of isdn_tty_modem_result(), as already proposed in commit 00409bb045887ec5e7b9e351bc080c38ab6bfd33.
This avoids a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG
when the hardware driver calls the statcallb() callback with
command==ISDN_STAT_DHUP in atomic context, which in turn calls
isdn_tty_modem_result(RESULT_NO_CARRIER, ~), and from there,
tty_ldisc_flush() which may sleep.

According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
comment for this too in the code.
But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
will be triggered.
When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:
Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.
First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).
Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().
However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).
I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.
Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.
I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

When ext3_dx_add_entry() has to split an index node, it has to ensure that
name_len of dx_node's fake_dirent is also zero, because otherwise e2fsck
won't recognise it as an intermediate htree node and consider the htree to
be corrupted.

Events on POWER7 can roll back if a speculative event doesn't
eventually complete. Unfortunately in some rare cases they will
raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to
ensure we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be 256 or less
cycles from overflow.

This fixes a race in which the task->tk_callback() puts the rpc_task
to sleep, setting a new callback. Under certain circumstances, the current
code may end up executing the task->tk_action before it gets round to the
callback.
