When we tear down a device we try to flush all outstanding
commands in scsi_free_queue(). However the check in
scsi_request_fn() is imperfect as it only signals that
we _might start_ aborting commands, not that we've actually
aborted some.
So move the printk inside the scsi_kill_request function,
this will also give us a hint about which commands are aborted.

Interrupts must be disabled prior to calling usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep.
If interrupts are not disabled, it can potentially lead to a deadlock.
The deadlock is readily reproduceable on a slower (ARM based) device

vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.
The bulk of that commit is a rework of the hardware assisted vlan tagging
driver interface, and as such doesn't classify for -stable inclusion. The fix
that is needed is a part of that commit but can work independently of the
rest.
This patch can avoid panics on the 2.6.32.y -stable kernels and is in the same
spirit as mainline commits 66c46d7 gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse 6d152e2 gro: reset skb_iif on reuse
which are already in -stable.
For drivers using the vlan_gro_frags() interface, a packet with an invalid tci
leads to GRO_DROP and napi_reuse_skb(). The skb has to be sanitized before
being reused or we may send an skb with an invalid vlan_tci field up the stack
where it is not expected.

ktime_get and ktime_get_ts were calling timekeeping_get_ns()
but later they were not calling arch_gettimeoffset() so architectures
using this mechanism returned 0 ns when calling these functions.
This happened for example when running Busybox's ping which calls
syscall(__NR_clock_gettime, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts) which eventually
calls ktime_get. As a result the returned ping travel time was zero.
By returning '0' instead of 'EAGAIN' when the tests in xs_nospace() fail
to find evidence of socket congestion, we are making the RPC engine believe
that the message was incorrectly sent and so it disconnects the socket
instead of just retrying.

commit 6175ddf06b6172046a329e3abfd9c901a43efd2e optimized the mem*io
functions that have been used to send commands to the device. these
optimizations somehow corrupted the communication with the lx6464es,
that resulted the device to be unusable with kernels after 2.6.33.
this patch emulates the memcpy_*_io functions via a loop to avoid these
problems.
This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On
revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not
automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be
retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O
performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems
with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

Previously we claimed device ID 0x7450, regardless of the vendor, which is
clearly wrong. Now we'll claim that device ID only for AMD.
I suspect this was just a typo in the original code, but it's possible this
change will break shpchp on non-7450 AMD bridges. If so, we'll have to fix
them as we find them.
Characters with ASCII values greater than the size of
filename_rev_map[] are valid filename characters.
ecryptfs_decode_from_filename() will access kernel memory beyond
that array, and ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet() will then decrypt
those characters. The attacker, using the FNEK of the crafted file,
can then re-encrypt the characters to reveal the kernel memory past
the end of the filename_rev_map[] array. I expect low security
impact since this array is statically allocated in the text area,
and the amount of memory past the array that is accessible is
limited by the largest possible ASCII filename character.
This patch solves the issue reported by mhalcrow but with an
implementation suggested by Linus to simply extend the length of
filename_rev_map[] to 256. Characters greater than 0x7A are mapped to
0x00, which is how invalid characters less than 0x7A were previously
being handled.
Dan Rosenberg noted that various drivers return the struct with uncleared
fields. Instead of spending forever trying to stomp all the drivers that
get it wrong (and every new driver) do the job in one place.
This first patch adds the needed operations and hooks them up, including

The 8020i protocol (also 8070i and QIC-157) uses 12-byte commands;
shorter commands must be padded. Simon Detheridge reports that his
3-TB USB disk drive claims to use the 8020i protocol (which is
normally meant for ATAPI devices like CD drives), and because of its
large size, the disk drive requires the use of 16-byte commands.
However the usb_stor_pad12_command() routine in usb-storage always
sets the command length to 12, making the drive impossible to use.
Since the SFF-8020i specification allows for 16-byte commands in
future extensions, we may as well accept them. This patch (as1490)
changes usb_stor_pad12_command() to leave commands larger than 12
bytes alone rather than truncating them.

The /proc/vmallocinfo shows information about vmalloc allocations in vmlist
that is a linklist of vm_struct. It, however, may access pages field of
vm_struct where a page was not allocated. This results in a null pointer
access and leads to a kernel panic.
Why this happen:
In __vmalloc_node() called from vmalloc(), newly allocated vm_struct
is added to vmlist at __get_vm_area_node() and then, some fields of
vm_struct such as nr_pages and pages are set at __vmalloc_area_node(). In
other words, it is added to vmlist before it is fully initialized. At the
same time, when the /proc/vmallocinfo is read, it accesses the pages field
of vm_struct according to the nr_pages field at show_numa_info(). Thus, a
null pointer access happens.
Patch:
This patch adds newly allocated vm_struct to the vmlist *after* it is fully
initialized. So, it can avoid accessing the pages field with unallocated
page when show_numa_info() is called.

On writes in MODE_RAW the mtd_oob_ops struct is not sufficiently

it is possible to write raw nand/oob data without additional ECC
(either for testing or when some sectors need different oob layout
e.g. bootloader) like
nandwrite -n -r -o /dev/mtd0 <myfile>
L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this:
policy:
[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, },
code:
if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT])
cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]);
As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the
conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly
reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough
and might overrun the message.
Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the
size properly.

The sunrpc layer keeps a cache of recently used credentials and
'unx_match' is used to find the credential which matches the current
process.
However unx_match allows a match when the cached credential has extra
groups at the end of uc_gids list which are not in the process group list.
So if a process with a list of (say) 4 group accesses a file and gains
access because of the last group in the list, then another process
with the same uid and gid, and a gid list being the first tree of the
gids of the original process tries to access the file, it will be
granted access even though it shouldn't as the wrong rpc credential
will be used.

attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using

discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all

The reason is that it forgot to mark dirty when splitting two extents in
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(). Althrough ex has been updated in
memory, it is not dirtied both in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() and
ext4_ext_insert_extent(). The disk layout is corrupted. Then it will

vcpu->last_guest_tsc is updated in vcpu_enter_guest() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put()
by getting the last value of the TSC from the guest.
On reset, the SeaBIOS resets the TSC to 0, which triggers a bug on the next
call to kvm_write_guest_time(): Since vcpu->hw_clock.tsc_timestamp still
contains the old value before the reset, "max_kernel_ns = vcpu->last_guest_tsc
- vcpu->hw_clock.tsc_timestamp" gets negative. Since the variable is u64, it
gets translated to a large positive value.
For completeness, here are the values for my 3 GHz CPU:
vcpu->hv_clock.tsc_shift =-1
vcpu->hv_clock.tsc_to_system_mul =2_863_019_502
This makes the guest kernel crawl very slowly when clocksource=kvmclock is
used: sleeps take way longer than expected and don't match wall clock any more.
The times printed with printk() don't match real time and the reboot often
stalls for long times.
In linux-git this isn't a problem, since on every MSR_IA32_TSC write
vcpu->arch.hv_clock.tsc_timestamp is reset to 0, which disables above logic.
The code there is only in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, since much of the kvm-clock

new_cfqq->new_cfqq = cfqq;
atomic_add(new_process_refs, &cfqq->ref);
}
}
When a merge candidate is found, we add the process references for the
queue with less references to the queue with more. The actual merging
of queues happens when a new request is issued for a given cfqq. In the
case of the test program, it only does a single pread call to read in
1MB, so the actual merge never happens.
Normally, this is fine, as when the queue exits, we simply drop the
references we took on the other cfqqs in the merge chain:
/*
* If this queue was scheduled to merge with another queue, be
* sure to drop the reference taken on that queue (and others in
* the merge chain). See cfq_setup_merge and cfq_merge_cfqqs.
*/
__cfqq = cfqq->new_cfqq;
while (__cfqq) {
if (__cfqq == cfqq) {
WARN(1, "cfqq->new_cfqq loop detected\n");
break;
}
next = __cfqq->new_cfqq;
cfq_put_queue(__cfqq);
__cfqq = next;
}
However, there is a hole in this logic. Consider the following (and
keep in mind that each I/O keeps a reference to the cfqq):
q1->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 2 process references
q3->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 3 process references
// the process associated with q2 exits
// q2 now has 2 process references
// queue 1 exits, drops its reference on q2
// q2 now has 1 process reference
// q3 exits, so has 0 process references, and hence drops its references
// to q2, which leaves q2 also with 0 process references
q4 comes along and wants to merge with q3
q3->new_cfqq still points at q2! We follow that link and end up at an
already freed cfqq.
So, the fix is to not follow a merge chain if the top-most queue does
not have a process reference, otherwise any queue in the chain could be
already freed. I also changed the logic to disallow merging with a
queue that does not have any process references. Previously, we did
this check for one of the merge candidates, but not the other. That
doesn't really make sense.
Without the attached patch, my system would BUG within a couple of
seconds of running the reproducer program. With the patch applied, my
system ran the program for over an hour without issues.
This addresses the following bugzilla:

Thanks a ton to Phil Carns for providing the bug report and an excellent
reproducer.

cfq_queues are merged if they are issuing requests within the mean seek
distance of one another. This patch detects when the coopearting stops and
breaks the queues back up.
The flag used to indicate that a cfqq was allowed to jump ahead in the
scheduling order due to submitting a request close to the queue that
just executed. Since closely cooperating queues are now merged, the flag
holds little meaning. Change it to indicate that multiple queues were
merged. This will later be used to allow the breaking up of merged queues
when they are no longer cooperating.
When cooperating cfq_queues are detected currently, they are allowed to
skip ahead in the scheduling order. It is much more efficient to
automatically share the cfq_queue data structure between cooperating processes.
Performance of the read-test2 benchmark (which is written to emulate the
dump(8) utility) went from 12MB/s to 90MB/s on my SATA disk. NFS servers
with multiple nfsd threads also saw performance increases.
async cfq_queue's are already shared between processes within the same
priority, and forthcoming patches will change the mapping of cic to sync
cfq_queue from 1:1 to 1:N. So, calculate the seekiness of a process
based on the cfq_queue instead of the cfq_io_context.
ubd_file_size() cannot use ubd_dev->cow.file because at this time
ubd_dev->cow.file is not initialized.
Therefore, ubd_file_size() will always report a wrong disk size when
COW files are used.
Reading from /dev/ubd* would crash the kernel.
We have to read the correct disk size from the COW file's backing
file.

To configure pads during the initialisation a set of special constants
is used, e.g.
#define MX25_PAD_FEC_MDIO__FEC_MDIO IOMUX_PAD(0x3c4, 0x1cc, 0x10, 0, 0, PAD_CTL_HYS | PAD_CTL_PUS_22K_UP)
The problem is that no pull-up/down is getting activated unless both
PAD_CTL_PUE (pull-up enable) and PAD_CTL_PKE (pull/keeper module
enable) set. This is clearly stated in the i.MX25 datasheet and is
confirmed by the measurements on hardware. This leads to some rather
hard to understand bugs such as misdetecting an absent ethernet PHY (a
real bug i had), unstable data transfer etc. This might affect mx25,
mx35, mx50, mx51 and mx53 SoCs.
It's reasonable to expect that if the pullup value is specified, the
intention was to have it actually active, so we implicitly add the
needed bits.
This device is not using the proper demod IF. Instead of using the
IF macro, it is specifying a IF frequency. This doesn't work, as xc3028
needs to load an specific SCODE for the tuner. In this case, there's
no IF table for 5 MHz.
If the bus has been reset on resume, set the alternate setting to 0.
This should be the default value, but some devices crash or otherwise
misbehave if they don't receive a SET_INTERFACE request before any other
video control request.
Microdia's 0c45:6437 camera has been found to require this change or it
will stop sending video data after resume.

Fan Yong <yong.fan@whamcloud.com> noticed setting
FMODE_32bithash wouldn't work with nfsd v4, as
nfsd4_readdir() checks for 32 bit cookies. However, according to RFC 3530
cookies have a 64 bit type and cookies are also defined as u64 in
'struct nfsd4_readdir'. So remove the test for >32-bit values.

The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it
to a sign-extended u64 type.
Change the type to unsigned long so we get the correct result.

Due to post-increment in condition of kmod_loop_msg in __request_module(),
the system log can be spammed by much more than 5 instances of the 'runaway
loop' message if the number of events triggering it makes the kmod_loop_msg
to overflow.
Fix that by making sure we never increment it past the threshold.

Some Stellaris evaluation kits have the JTAG/SWD FTDI chip onboard,
and some, like EK-LM3S9B90, come with a separate In-Circuit Debugger
Interface Board. The ICDI board can also be used stand-alone, for
other boards and chips than the kit it came with. The ICDI has both
old style 20-pin JTAG connector and new style JTAG/SWD 10-pin 1.27mm
pitch connector.
Tested with EK-LM3S9B90, where the BD-ICDI board is included.
