0.90 metadata uses an unsigned 32bit number to count the number of
kilobytes used from each device.
This should allow up to 4TB per device.
However we multiply this by 2 (to get sectors) before casting to a
larger type, so sizes above 2TB get truncated.
Also we allow rdev->sectors to be larger than 4TB, so it is possible
for the array to be resized larger than the metadata can handle.
So make sure rdev->sectors never exceeds 4TB when 0.90 metadata is in
used.
Also the sanity check at the end of super_90_load should include level
1 as it used ->size too. (RAID0 and Linear don't use ->size at all).
DA850/OMAP-L138 EMAC driver uses random mac address instead of
a fixed one because the mac address is not stuffed into EMAC
platform data.
This patch provides a function which reads the mac address
stored in SPI flash (registered as MTD device) and populates the
EMAC platform data. The function which reads the mac address is
registered as a callback which gets called upon addition of MTD
device.
NOTE: In case the MAC address stored in SPI flash is erased, follow
the instructions at [1] to restore it.
Modifications in v2:
Guarded registering the mtd_notifier only when MTD is enabled.
Earlier this was handled using mtd_has_partitions() call, but
this has been removed in Linux v3.0.
Modifications in v3:
a. Guarded da850_evm_m25p80_notify_add() function and
da850evm_spi_notifier structure with CONFIG_MTD macros.
b. Renamed da850_evm_register_mtd_user() function to
da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() and removed the struct mtd_notifier
argument to this function.
c. Passed the da850evm_spi_notifier structure to register_mtd_user()
function.
Modifications in v4:
Moved the da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() function within the first
CONFIG_MTD ifdef construct.
We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to
use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those
options turn of important sources of interrupt information so
we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to
pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and
the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.
If vmalloc page_fault happens inside of interrupt handler with interrupts
disabled then on exit path from exception handler when there is no pending

We ran into an issue where it looks like we're not properly ignoring a
pci device with a non-good status property when we walk the device tree
and instanciate the Linux side PCI devices.
However, the EEH init code does look for the property and disables EEH
on these devices. This leaves us in an inconsistent where we are poking
at a supposedly bad piece of hardware and RTAS will block our config
cycles because EEH isn't enabled anyway.
I don't know what I was thinking putting 'rcu' after a dynamically

Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They
were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow
arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[].
Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust
the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and
size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb:
->data_len is not decreased at all.
->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag.
Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return
-EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall.
In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the
driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using
napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is
reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver
decides to switch from the former to the latter.
Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat:
- on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null
- on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero
- on machine1:
echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs
echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages
- See that nc has quit suddenly.

Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path.
This patch fixes this.
Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g.,
IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether,
when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead.
I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment
the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message. Someone
should add that to be 100% correct.

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.
For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.
commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw
parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It
prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW
MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by
unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get
the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it
broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this
breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a
FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a
writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE.
This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by
trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast()
fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use
cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the
ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address.
This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really
make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO
MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process
updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap()
man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping:
It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after
the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region.
So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a
RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case.
Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A).
get_futex_key() return inode based key.
sleep on the key
Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A)
Thread-B: write memory-region-A.
COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related
to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page.
Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A).
get_futex_key() return mm based key.
IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A.
Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do
something like this get what they deserve.
While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private
mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a
userspace hang.
This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to
only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced
in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the
USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of
the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with
this approach.
As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch
introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted
and given back.
That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host
controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output
stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But
it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases.

Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been

After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer

information.
Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum
HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of
course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks.
For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for
the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns

Due to the overly intelligent design of HPETs, we need to workaround
the problem that the compare value which we write is already behind
the actual counter value at the point where the value hits the real
compare register. This happens for two reasons:
1) We read out the counter, add the delta and write the result to the
compare register. When a NMI or SMI hits between the read out and
the write then the counter can be ahead of the event already
2) The write to the compare register is delayed by up to two HPET
cycles in certain chipsets.
We worked around this by reading back the compare register to make
sure that the written value has hit the hardware. For certain ICH9+
chipsets this can require two readouts, as the first one can return
the previous compare register value. That's bad performance wise for
the normal case where the event is far enough in the future.
As we already know that the write can be delayed by up to two cycles
we can avoid the read back of the compare register completely if we
make the decision whether the delta has elapsed already or not based
on the following calculation:
cmp = event - actual_count;
If cmp is less than 8 HPET clock cycles, then we decide that the event
has happened already and return -ETIME. That covers the above #1 and
#2 problems which would cause a wait for HPET wraparound (~306
seconds).

This patch (as1480) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. The
qh_update() routine needs to know the number and direction of the
endpoint corresponding to its QH argument. The number can be taken
directly from the QH data structure, but the direction isn't stored
there. The direction is taken instead from the first qTD linked to
the QH.
However, it turns out that for interrupt transfers, qh_update() gets
called before the qTDs are linked to the QH. As a result, qh_update()
computes a bogus direction value, which messes up the endpoint toggle
handling. Under the right combination of circumstances this causes
usb_reset_endpoint() not to work correctly, which causes packets to be
dropped and communications to fail.
Now, it's silly for the QH structure not to have direct access to all
the descriptor information for the corresponding endpoint. Ultimately
it may get a pointer to the usb_host_endpoint structure; for now,
adding a copy of the direction flag solves the immediate problem.
This allows the Spyder2 color-calibration system (a low-speed USB
device that sends all its interrupt data packets with the toggle set
to 0 and hance requires constant use of usb_reset_endpoint) to work
when connected through a high-speed hub. Thanks to Graeme Gill for
supplying the hardware that allowed me to track down this bug.
MAX4967 USB power supply chip we use on our boards signals over-current when
power is not enabled; once it's enabled, over-current signal returns to normal.
That unfortunately caused the endless stream of "over-current change on port"
messages. The EHCI root hub code reacts on every over-current signal change
with powering off the port -- such change event is generated the moment the
port power is enabled, so once enabled the power is immediately cut off.
I think we should only cut off power when we're seeing the active over-current
signal, so I'm adding such check to that code. I also think that the fact that
we've cut off the port power should be reflected in the result of GetPortStatus
request immediately, hence I'm adding a PORTSCn register readback after write...

Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and
ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized
because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and
ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from
writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent
allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered
or reservation structure corruption can occur.
Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize
allocations.

As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs
which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc. all visible to the system.
So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people
expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies. Without them, the
module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the
details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to
look.
This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig.

In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.
Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.
But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that
causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the
OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages.
First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type
PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer
is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to
buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit
signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided
here, bad things can happen. For example,
pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size,
which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size.
The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an
overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be
smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the
subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of
pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked.
It looks like preventing this value from being negative in
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient.

Rebooting on the Dell E5420 often hangs with the keyboard or ACPI
methods, but is reliable via the PCI method.
[ hpa: this was deferred because we believed for a long time that the
recent reshuffling of the boot priorities in commit 660e34cebf0a11d54f2d5dd8838607452355f321 fixed this platform.
Unfortunately that turned out to be incorrect. ]
To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.
Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.
Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is
reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread.

What is supposed to happen:
* bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B)
* C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state
What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as
root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU
doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that
the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state.
The root cause of this is that the configuration messages
is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before
sending.
In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be:
the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by
the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU.
Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when
recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time
elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

The subdevs are supposed to receive a valid tuner type for the g_frequency
and g/s_tuner subdev ops. Some drivers do this, others don't. So prefill
this in v4l2-ioctl.c based on whether the device node from which this is
called is a radio node or not.
The spec does not require applications to fill in the type, and if they
leave it at 0 then the 'check_mode' call in tuner-core.c will return
an error and the ioctl does nothing.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]
