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.
The Blackfin DMA controller can report one frame beyond the end of the

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 ]

Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet
is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags.
However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will
goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the
next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not
be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before
receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong.

udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine
whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead
to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs.
Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is
called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in
udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call:
But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared
from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value
of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be:
if (noblock)
return -EAGAIN;
This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to
attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the
BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if
count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get
to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case,
if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than
alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal.
Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is
an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number
that is used as the number of pages to free.
Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater
than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it.

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.
Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

This patch (as1465) continues implementation of the policy that errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep.
In this case, failure to turn on the Suspend feature for a hub port
shouldn't be reported as an error. There are situations where this
does actually occur (such as when the device plugged into that port
was disconnected in the recent past), and it turns out to be harmless.
There's no reason for it to prevent a system sleep.
Also, don't allow the hub driver to fail a system suspend if the
downstream ports aren't all suspended. This is also harmless (and
should never happen, given the change mentioned above); printing a
warning message in the kernel log is all we really need to do.

This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB
device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding:
Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will
automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying
packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not
worry about them now.)
Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the
system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system
from going to sleep.

Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.
Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.
The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.
One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
lead to a deadlock.
The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both
by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.

If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.
We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any
kernel since then.
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold
the lock protecting it around it.
This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq
io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long
time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed
to see it a lot.
Order of initialization look like this:
...
debugobjects
kmemleak
...(lots of other subsystems)...
workqueues (through early initcall)
...
debugobjects use schedule_work for batch freeing of its data and kmemleak
heavily use debugobjects, so when it comes to freeing and workqueues were
not initialized yet, kernel crashes:
When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.
The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()
What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:
A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.
Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.
Impact of this bug:
When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.
Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

While trying to switch a UAS device from the BOT configuration to the UAS
configuration via the bConfigurationValue file, Tanya ran into an issue in
the USB core. usb_disable_device() sets entries in udev->ep_out and
udev->ep_out to NULL, but doesn't call into the xHCI bandwidth management
functions to remove the BOT configuration endpoints from the xHCI host's
internal structures.
The USB core would then attempt to add endpoints for the UAS
configuration, and some of the endpoints had the same address as endpoints
in the BOT configuration. The xHCI driver blindly added the endpoints
again, but the xHCI host controller rejected the Configure Endpoint
command because active endpoints were added without being dropped.
Make the xHCI driver reject calls to xhci_add_endpoint() that attempt to
add active endpoints without first calling xhci_drop_endpoint().
This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31.
We restored tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5c (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle). We used it in the ldisc changing path to fix the
case where there are tasks in n_tty_read waiting for data and somebody
tries to change ldisc.
Similar to the case above, there may be also tasks waiting in
n_tty_read while hangup is performed. As 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn
ldisc user count into a proper refcount) removed the wait-until-idle
from all paths, hangup path won't wait for them to disappear either
now. So add it back even to the hangup path.
There is a difference, we need uninterruptible sleep as there is
obviously HUP signal pending. So tty_ldisc_wait_idle now sleeps
without possibility to be interrupted. This is what original
tty_ldisc_wait_idle did. After the wait idle reintroduction
(100eeae2c5c), we have had interruptible sleeps for the ldisc changing
path. But as there is a 5s timeout anyway, we don't allow it to be
interrupted from now on. It's not worth the added complexity of
deciding what kind of sleep we want.
Before 65b770468e98 tty_ldisc_release was called also from
tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think we
need to restore that one.

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been
observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC.
The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt
handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the
TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the
unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled
region to avoid that.

ksmd::scan_get_next_rmap_item (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/1/742) easily
triggering a NULL pointer dereference in ksmd.
ksm_scan.mm_slot == &ksm_mm_head with only one registered mm
CPU 1 (__ksm_exit) CPU 2 (scan_get_next_rmap_item)
list_empty() is false
lock slot == &ksm_mm_head
list_del(slot->mm_list)
(list now empty)
unlock
lock
slot = list_entry(slot->mm_list.next)
(list is empty, so slot is still ksm_mm_head)
unlock
slot->mm == NULL ... Oops
Close this race by revalidating that the new slot is not simply the list
head again.
It turns out this is not what we want to have happen for the .32 and
.33-longterm kernels as it does not work properly at all.
This was reported by Gentoo, Arch, and Canonical developers as causing
problems for their users:

The IPv6 header is not zeroed out in alloc_skb so we must initialize
it properly unless we want to see IPv6 packets with random TOS fields
floating around. The current implementation resets the flow label
but this could be changed if deemed necessary.
We stumbled upon this issue when trying to apply a mangle rule to
the RST packet generated by the REJECT target module.

When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

The old IDE cmd64x checks the status of the CNTRL register to see if
the ports are enabled before probing them. pata_cmd64x doesn't do
this, which causes a HPMC on parisc when it tries to poke at the
secondary port because apparently the BAR isn't wired up (and a
non-responding piece of memory causes a HPMC).
Fix this by porting the CNTRL register port detection logic from IDE
cmd64x. In addition, following converns from Alan Cox, add a check to
see if a mobility electronics bridge is the immediate parent and forgo
the check if it is (prevents problems on hotplug controllers).

The @bio->bi_phys_segments consists of active stripes count in the
lower 16 bits and processed stripes count in the upper 16 bits. So
logical-OR operator should be bitwise one.
This bug has been present since 2.6.27 and the fix is suitable for any
-stable kernel since then. Fortunately the bad code is only used on
error paths and is relatively unlikely to be hit.
Check pers->hot_remove_disk instead of pers->hot_add_disk in slot_store()

The lockdep warning below detects a possible A->B/B->A locking
dependency of mm->mmap_sem and dcookie_mutex. The order in
sync_buffer() is mm->mmap_sem/dcookie_mutex, while in

The original reporter states that sound from the internal speakers is
inaudible until using the model=auto quirk. This symptom is due to an
existing quirk mask for 0x102802b* that uses the model=dell quirk. To
limit the possible regressions, leave the existing quirk mask but add
a higher priority specific mask for the reporter's PCI SSID.

Full-speed isoc endpoints specify interval in exponent based form in
frames, not microframes, so we need to adjust accordingly.
NEC xHCI host controllers will return an error code of 0x11 if a full
speed isochronous endpoint is added with the Interval field set to
something less than 3 (2^3 = 8 microframes, or one frame). It is
impossible for a full speed device to have an interval smaller than one
frame.
This was always an issue in the xHCI driver, but commit dfa49c4ad120a784ef1ff0717168aa79f55a483a "USB: xhci - fix math in
xhci_get_endpoint_interval()" removed the clamping of the minimum value
in the Interval field, which revealed this bug.
This needs to be backported to stable kernels back to 2.6.31.

Protocol stall should not be fatal while reading port or hub status as it is
transient state. Currently hub EP0 STALL during port status read results in
failed device enumeration. This has been observed with ST-Ericsson (formerly
Philips) USB 2.0 Hub (04cc:1521) after connecting keyboard.
Some PCIe cards ship with a PCI-PCIe bridge which is not
visible as a PCI device in Linux. But the device-id of the
bridge is present in the IOMMU tables which causes a boot
crash in the IOMMU driver.
This patch fixes by removing these cards from the IOMMU
handling. This is a pure -stable fix, a real fix to handle
this situation appriatly will follow for the next merge
window.
The driver contains several loops counting on an u16 value
where the exit-condition is checked against variables that
can have values up to 0xffff. In this case the loops will
never exit. This patch fixed 3 such loops.
Unfortunatly there are systems where the AMD IOMMU does not
cover all devices. This breaks with the current driver as it
initializes the global dma_ops variable. This patch limits
the AMD IOMMU to the devices listed in the IVRS table fixing
DMA for devices not covered by the IOMMU.
On my x86_64 system with >4GB of ram and swiotlb instead of
a hardware iommu (because I have a VIA chipset), the call
to pci_set_dma_mask (see below) with 40bits returns an error.
But it seems that the radeon driver is designed to have
need_dma32 = true exactly if pci_set_dma_mask is called
with 32 bits and false if it is called with 40 bits.
I have read somewhere that the default are 32 bits. So if the
call fails I suppose that need_dma32 should be set to true.
And indeed the patch fixes the problem I have had before
and which I had described here:

The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false
assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the
lock is taken.
[ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu()

can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock
recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ]
In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for
the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the
memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with
over 32 characters were allowed to go through.
This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the
proper place.
This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4.

The following patch sets the MaxPayload setting to match the parent
reading when inserting a PCIE card into a hotplug slot. On our system,
the upstream bridge is set to 256, but when inserting a card, the card
setting defaults to 128. As soon as I/O is performed to the card it
starts receiving errors since the payload size is too small.
Al Viro observes that in the hugetlb case, handle_mm_fault() may return
a value of the kind ENOSPC when its caller is expecting a value of the
kind VM_FAULT_SIGBUS: fix alloc_huge_page()'s failure returns.
Whenever there is a channel width change from 40 Mhz to 20 Mhz,
the hardware is reconfigured to ht20. Meantime before doing
the rate control updation, the packets are being transmitted are
selected rate with IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH.
While transmitting ht40 rate packets in ht20 mode is causing
baseband panic with AR9003 based chips.
In certain circumstances, we can get an oops from a torn down device.
Most notably this is from CD roms trying to call scsi_ioctl. The root
cause of the problem is the fact that after scsi_remove_device() has
been called, the queue is fully torn down. This is actually wrong
since the queue can be used until the sdev release function is called.
Therefore, we add an extra reference to the queue which is released in
sdev->release, so the queue always exists.
The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a nbd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel oops (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).
In addition, specifying large 'nbds_max' value causes same
problem for the same reason.
On my desktop, following command results to the kernel bug:
UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write
failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object.
Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB
if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB.
Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink,
and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible
that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way
UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes:
shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788
This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.
This patch (as1335) fixes a bug in scsi_sysfs_add_sdev(). Its callers
always remove the device if anything goes wrong, so it should never
remove the device.

When an ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message is received with a MTU below 1280,
all further packets include a fragment header.
Unlike regular defragmentation, conntrack also needs to "reassemble"
those fragments in order to obtain a packet without the fragment
header for connection tracking. Currently nf_conntrack_reasm checks
whether a fragment has either IP6_MF set or an offset != 0, which
makes it ignore those fragments.
Remove the invalid check and make reassembly handle fragment queues
containing only a single fragment.
There's a race window in xen_drop_mm_ref, where remote cpu may exit
dirty bitmap between the check on this cpu and the point where remote
cpu handles drop request. So in drop_other_mm_ref we need check
whether TLB state is still lazy before calling into leave_mm. This
bug is rarely observed in earlier kernel, but exaggerated by the
commit 831d52bc153971b70e64eccfbed2b232394f22f8
