Fix breakage caused by commit 831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69
that did not introduce the necessary call to set_freezable() in
xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.c .
The xfrm_timer calls __xfrm_state_delete, which drops the final reference
manually without triggering destruction of the state. Change it to use
xfrm_state_put to add the state to the gc list when we're dropping the
last reference. The timer function may still continue to use the state
safely since the final destruction does a del_timer_sync().

Spurious NCQ completion detection implemented in ahci was incorrect.
On AHCI receving and processing FISes and raising interrupts are not
interlocked and spurious interrupts are expected.
For example, if an interrupt occurs while interrupt handler is running
and the running interrupt handler handles the event the new IRQ
indicated, after IRQ handler finishes, it will be executed again
because IRQ pending bit is set by the new interrupt but there won't be
anything to process.
Please read the following message for more information.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/26012
This patch...
* Removes all spurious IRQ whining from ahci. Spurious NCQ completion
detection was completely wrong. Spurious D2H Register FIS taught us
that some early drives send spurious D2H Register FIS with I bit set
while NCQ commands are in progress but none of recent drives does
that and even the ones which show such behavior can do NCQ fine.
* Kills all NCQ blacklist entries which were added because of spurious
NCQ completions. I tracked down each commit and verified all
removed ones are actually added because of spurious completions.
WD740ADFD-00NLR1 wasn't deleted but moved upward because the drive
not only had spurious NCQ completions but also is slow on sequential
data transfers if NCQ is enabled.
Maxtor 7V300F0 was added by 0e3dbc01d53940fe10e5a5cfec15ede3e929c918
from Alan Cox. I can only find evidences that the drive only had
troubles with spuruious completions by searching the mailing list.
This entry needs to be verified and removed if it doesn't have other
NCQ related problems.

When xt_CONNMARK is used outside the mangle table and the user specified
"--restore-mark", the connmark_tg_check() function will (correctly)
error out, but (incorrectly) forgets to release the L3 conntrack module.

I am not absolutely sure whether this actually is a bug (as in: I've got
no clue what the standards say or what other implementations do), but at
least I was pretty surprised when I noticed that a recv() on a
non-blocking unix domain socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (which is connection
oriented, after all) where the remote end has closed the connection
returned -1 (EAGAIN) rather than 0 to indicate end of file.
Lachlan Andrew observed that my TCP-Illinois implementation uses the
beta value incorrectly:
The parameter beta in the paper specifies the amount to decrease
*by*: that is, on loss,
W <- W - beta*W
but in tcp_illinois_ssthresh() uses beta as the amount
to decrease *to*: W <- beta*W
This bug makes the Linux TCP-Illinois get less-aggressive on uncongested network,
hurting performance. Note: since the base beta value is .5, it has no
impact on a congested network.

Avaid provided test application, so bug got fixed.
IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu
changes and new value is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU (1280 bytes).
When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU,
it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac.
This patch fixes that.
Tested with Avaid's application, which works ok now.
As far as I see from the err variable initialization
the dn_nl_deladdr() routine was designed to report errors
like "EADDRNOTAVAIL" and probaby "ENODEV".
But the code sets this err to 0 after the first nlmsg_parse
and goes on, returning this 0 in any case.

Indeed my previous change to alloc_pskb has made it possible
for the TCP header to be misaligned iff the MTU is not a multiple
of 4 (and less than a page). So I suspect the optimised IPsec
MTU calculation is giving you just such an MTU :)
This patch fixes it by changing alloc_pskb to make sure that
the size is at least 32-bit aligned. This does not cause the
problem fixed by the previous patch because max_header is always
32-bit aligned which means that in the SG/NOTSO case this will
be a no-op.
I thought about putting this in the callers but all the current
callers are from TCP. If and when we get a non-TCP caller we
can always create a TCP wrapper for this function and move the
alignment over there.

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm. This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.
sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.

When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can
have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and
thus not required to be copied.
Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from
nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced.
Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>.
[ Patrick McHardy states:
I now understand whats happening:
- new connection is allocated without helper
- connection is REDIRECTed to localhost
- nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet
- nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the
new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension,
causing reallocation because of too little space
- nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension

The esp_reset_cleanup() function is called with the host lock held and
invokes starget_for_each_device() which wants to take it too. Here is a
fix along the lines of shost_for_each_device()/__shost_for_each_device()
adding a __starget_for_each_device() counterpart which assumes the lock
has already been taken.
Eventually, I think the driver should get modified so that more work is
done as a softirq rather than in the interrupt context, but for now it
fixes a bug that causes the spinlock debugger to fire.
While at it, it fixes a small number of cosmetic problems with
starget_for_each_device() too.

The code in fb_ddc_read() is said to be based on the implementation of the
radeon driver:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fc5891c8a3ba284f13994d7bc1f1bfa8283982de
However, comparing the old radeon driver code with the new fb_ddc code
reveals some differences. Most notably, the I2C bus lines are held at the
end of the function, while the original code was releasing them (as the
comment above correctly says.)
There are a few other differences, which appear to be responsible for read
failures on my system. While tracing low-level I2C code in i2c-algo-bit, I
noticed that the initial attempt to read the EDID always failed. It takes
one retry for the read to succeed. As we are about to remove this
automatic retry property from i2c-algo-bit, reading the EDID would really
fail.
As a summary, the I2C lines quirk which is supposedly needed to read EDID
on some older monitors is currently breaking the (first) read on all other
monitors (and might not even work with older ones - did anyone try since
October 2006?)
After applying the patch below, which makes the code in fb_ddc_read()
really similar to what the radeon driver used to have, the first EDID read
succeeds again.
On top of that, as it appears that this code has been broken for one year
now and nobody seems to have complained, I'm curious if it makes sense to
keep this quirk in place. It makes the code more complex and slower just
for the sake of monitors which I guess nobody uses anymore. Can't we just
get rid of it?

In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the

If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal
in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the
same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f
Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it

isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to
pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git
from mainline, I found the bug was there too. The bug he was seeing
that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a
process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on
that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is,
the timer would go off early.
Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather
nasty bug at that.
Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file)
[...]
smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val,
struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2,
u32 val3)
{
struct timespec ts;
ktime_t t, *tp = NULL;
u32 val2 = 0;
int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) {
if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0)
return -EFAULT;
if (!timespec_valid(&ts))
return -EINVAL;
t = timespec_to_ktime(ts);
if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT)
t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t);
tp = &t;
}
[...]
return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3);
}
[...]
long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout,
u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3)
{
int ret;
int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL;
if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG))
fshared = ¤t->mm->mmap_sem;
switch (cmd) {
case FUTEX_WAIT:
ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout);
So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the
hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return
back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK. The bug here is that we
save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t"
from sys_futex.
This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On
return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all
the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem
where abs_time is no longer valid.
I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time
was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart.
The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds)
was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to
use the restart with specific parameters. This way the futex code now
saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing
it on the stack.
Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64
in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that.
Not sure what that is there for. If this turns out to be a problem, I've
tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for
u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be
consistent with what the futex code uses.

The patch belows changes the access type to register from memory for
instructions that are declared as SrcMem or DstMem, but have a
ModR/M byte with Mod = 3.
It fixes (at least) the lmsw and smsw instructions on an AMD64 CPU,
which are needed for FreeBSD.
Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative
timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start().
This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an
huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock
source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost
goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code
sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that
problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers.
This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more
hardware.

We must cover this case by clear_highpage before SetPageUptodate, as before.
A recent patch added software synchronization during EHCI startup,
so ports aren't switched away from the companion controllers after

As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers
to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example,
the tg3 driver does
tp->irq_sync = 1;
smp_mb();
synchronize_irq();
and then in the IRQ handler:
if (!tp->irq_sync)
netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi);
Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in
pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the
IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't
actually protect us.
In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the
result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible.
This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin
locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

The only qdiscs that check subqueue state before dequeue'ing are PRIO
and RR. The other qdiscs, including the default pfifo_fast qdisc,
will allow traffic bound for subqueue 0 through to hard_start_xmit.
The check for netif_queue_stopped() is done above in pkt_sched.h, so
it is unnecessary for qdisc_restart(). However, if the underlying
driver is multiqueue capable, and only sets queue states on subqueues,
this will allow packets to enter the driver when it's currently unable
to process packets, resulting in expensive requeues and driver
entries. This patch re-adds the check for the subqueue status before
calling hard_start_xmit, so we can try and avoid the driver entry when
the queues are stopped.

We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping
them dirty all the time.
It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page
clean, without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure
shrink_zone runs and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a
check for buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no
releasepage callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers
has now a special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page
clean, if all buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case.
The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or
down. Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many
times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace.
This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many
times per second. Batch together scan completed events for
non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds.
Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up
without delay.

Improve the debuggability of kernel lockups by enhancing the debug
output of the softlockup detector: print the task that causes the lockup
and try to print a more intelligent backtrace.
Note that in the old format we only knew that some system call locked
up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]
This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)
The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.
x86: fix freeze in x86_64 RTC update code in time_64.c
Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls
update_persistent_clock()
A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of
spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from
ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

AK: changed to 32bit move because it's strictly an int
This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with
these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU.
Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when
splitting the huge PMD.
Some gcc versions (I checked at least 4.1.1 from RHEL5 & 4.1.2 from gentoo)
can generate incorrect code with read_crX()/write_crX() functions mix up,
due to cached results of read_crX().
The small app for x8664 below compiled with -O2 demonstrates this
(i686 does the same thing):
One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases
back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace
already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to
not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding
the old value.

The problem code has been removed in 2.6.24. The below patch disables
SCHED_FEAT_PRECISE_CPU_LOAD which causes the offending code to be skipped
but does not prevent the user from enabling it.
The divide-by-zero is here in kernel/sched.c:
static void update_cpu_load(struct rq *this_rq)
{
u64 fair_delta64, exec_delta64, idle_delta64, sample_interval64, tmp64;
unsigned long total_load = this_rq->ls.load.weight;
unsigned long this_load = total_load;
struct load_stat *ls = &this_rq->ls;
int i, scale;
this_rq->nr_load_updates++;
if (unlikely(!(sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_PRECISE_CPU_LOAD)))
goto do_avg;
/* Update delta_fair/delta_exec fields first */
update_curr_load(this_rq);
sata_sis has the same restrictions as other SFF controllers, and so must
use LIBATA_MAX_PRD to denote that SCSI may only fill ATA_MAX_PRD/2
entries, due to our need to handle IOMMU merging.
This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the
same way.
Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time.
They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync'
commands. Only `umount' can do the trick.
Marin Mitov points out that delay_tsc() can misbehave if it is preempted and
rescheduled on a different CPU which has a skewed TSC. Fix it by disabling
preemption.
(I assume that the worst-case behaviour here is a stall of 2^32 cycles)
When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented twice
for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in
dma_chan_cleanup(). This may result in the DMA device driver's remove()
function completing before all channels have been cleaned up, causing lots
of use-after-free fun.
Fix it by incrementing the device's reference count twice for each
channel during registration.

this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.
Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.
While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
