In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full
but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write
didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly
full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available.
This patch fixes the problem.

It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels
for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue
but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some
time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following:
The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send
things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be
updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata
now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in
block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct
sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine
instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the
translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and
correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However,
a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply
copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds.
Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the
timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the
timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times
too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the
FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW,
the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because
it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() incorrectly reports information
to userspace without first checking for the validity of the
device number, leading to possible information leak (CVE-2008-3272).
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.

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.

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.

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

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

But alc262_sony_unsol[] does not have it.
And it causes gcc-4.3's buggy behavior
with snd_hda_sequence_write().
arm's fls() is implemented as a macro, causing it to misbehave when passed
64-bit arguments. Fix.

When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed. This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0
It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.
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
[If you backport this for 2.6.24 you will need to pull in the 2.6.25
removal of the bogus WARN_ON() in pcim_enagle]

No straightforward fix exists because we want to
enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before
getting into the IRQ handler the first time.
What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be
automatically enabled by request_irq(). Then we
make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the
LDC channel.
This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally
under the LDC channel lock any more.
Bump LDC version and release date.

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().
Here is Eric's original report:
----------------------------------------
Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.
In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.*
Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000
iptables -N SLOWLO
iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO
Then run the attached program and see the output :

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.

I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed

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.

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.

I had 8250.nr_uarts=16 in the boot line of a test kernel and I had a weird
mysterious crash in sysfs. After taking an in-depth look I realized that
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to 4 and I was walking off the end of
the serial8250_ports array.
Ouch!!!
Don't let this happen to someone else.

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.
