There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.
The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.
SYMPTOMS:
Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).
REPRODUCING PATH:
1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.
2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
dd if=/dev/zero of=<file_name> bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of
file defines duration of GC working.
3. Then it needs to delete file.
4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you
start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.
5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a
result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.
For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their
paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with
interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the
observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is
enabled.
David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can
be taken to count as an ack from him.

Update efi_call_phys_prelog to install an identity mapping of all available
memory. This corrects a bug on very large systems with more then 512 GB in
which bios would not be able to access addresses above not in the mapping.
At the moment the MSR driver only relies upon file system
checks. This means that anything as root with any capability set
can write to MSRs. Historically that wasn't very interesting but
on modern processors the MSRs are such that writing to them
provides several ways to execute arbitary code in kernel space.
Sample code and documentation on doing this is circulating and
MSR attacks are used on Windows 64bit rootkits already.
In the Linux case you still need to be able to open the device
file so the impact is fairly limited and reduces the security of
some capability and security model based systems down towards
that of a generic "root owns the box" setup.
Therefore they should require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to prevent an
elevation of capabilities. The impact of this is fairly minimal
on most setups because they don't have heavy use of
capabilities. Those using SELinux, SMACK or AppArmor rules might
want to consider if their rulesets on the MSR driver could be
tighter.

The length parameter should be sizeof(req->name) - 1 because there is no

Commit 23caaf19b11e (ALSA: usb-mixer: Add support for Audio Class v2.0)
forgot to adjust the length check for UAC 2.0 feature unit descriptors.
This would make the code abort on encountering a feature unit without
per-channel controls, and thus prevented the driver to work with any
device having such a unit, such as the RME Babyface or Fireface UCX.

We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap
would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down
due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received.
This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into
xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel
which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very
large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the
end of the deactivate.
I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code
to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead
to a system to continue on to call die().

With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much
work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output
is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low
PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message.
I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no
problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now?
From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
network byte order.
So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the

If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe
to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points),
when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well
as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points.
A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load.
But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace
didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and
simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1).
Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry
into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op
and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down.
The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority.
This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification
also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification
closer to core modification.
In the slow path, we are forced to copy the relocations prior to
acquiring the struct mutex in order to handle pagefaults. We forgo
copying the new offsets back into the relocation entries in order to
prevent a recursive locking bug should we trigger a pagefault whilst
holding the mutex for the reservations of the execbuffer. Therefore, we
need to reset the presumed_offsets just in case the objects are rebound
back into their old locations after relocating for this exexbuffer - if
that were to happen we would assume the relocations were valid and leave
the actual pointers to the kernels dangling, instant hang.

vt6656 has several headers that use the #pragma pack(1) directive to
enable structure packing, but never disable it. The layout of
structures defined in other headers can then depend on which order the
various headers are included in, breaking the One Definition Rule.
In practice this resulted in crashes on x86_64 until the order of header
inclusion was changed for some files in commit 11d404cb56ecd ('staging:
vt6656: fix headers and add cfg80211.'). But we need a proper fix that
won't be affected by future changes to the order of inclusion.
This removes the #pragma pack(1) directives and adds __packed to the
structure definitions for which packing appears to have been intended.
When shut down SPI port, it's possible that MRDY has been asserted and a SPI
timer was activated waiting for SRDY assert, in the case, it needs to delete
this timer.
There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed
iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the
iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing.
In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like:
popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp
jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault
5: addl $16,%esp
# Hypervisor said segment selector fault
Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which
appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and
converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected.
In the PVOPS case, the code looks like:
popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor
lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again
jmp iret_exc
It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this
behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing
the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race
condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to
userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a
failsafe_callback into the kernel.
This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support
in commit 5ead97c84 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.

xhci_alloc_segments_for_ring() builds a list of xhci_segments and links
the tail to head at the end (forming a ring). When it bails out for OOM
reasons half-way through, it tries to destroy its half-built list with
xhci_free_segments_for_ring(), even though it is not a ring yet. This
causes a null-pointer dereference upon hitting the last element.
Furthermore, one of its callers (xhci_ring_alloc()) mistakenly believes
the output parameters to be valid upon this kind of OOM failure, and
calls xhci_ring_free() on them. Since the (incomplete) list/ring should
already be destroyed in that case, this would lead to a use after free.
This patch fixes those issues by having xhci_alloc_segments_for_ring()
destroy its half-built, non-circular list manually and destroying the
invalid struct xhci_ring in xhci_ring_alloc() with a plain kfree().
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that

This patch (as1631) fixes a bug that shows up when a config change
fails for a device under an xHCI controller. The controller needs to
be told to disable the endpoints that have been enabled for the new
config. The existing code does this, but before storing the
information about which endpoints were enabled! As a result, any
second attempt to install the new config is doomed to fail because
xhci-hcd will refuse to enable an endpoint that is already enabled.
The patch optimistically initializes the new endpoints' device
structures before asking the device to switch to the new config. If
the request fails then the endpoint information is already stored, so
we can use usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to disable the endpoints with no
trouble. The rest of the error path is slightly more complex now; we
have to disable the new interfaces and call put_device() rather than
simply deallocating them.

Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value
must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125
and divide by 512.
When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr.
417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller
than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in
subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour.
To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD
values without overflow and call this function from both places that
open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().

comedi_auto_config() associates a Comedi minor device number with an
auto-configured hardware device and comedi_auto_unconfig() disassociates
it. Currently, these use the hardware device's private data pointer to
point to some allocated storage holding the minor device number. This
is a bit of a waste of the hardware device's private data pointer,
preventing it from being used for something more useful by the low-level
comedi device drivers. For example, it would make more sense if
comedi_usb_auto_config() was passed a pointer to the struct
usb_interface instead of the struct usb_device, but this cannot be done
currently because the low-level comedi drivers already use the private
data pointer in the struct usb_interface for something more useful.
This patch stops the comedi core hijacking the hardware device's private
data pointer. Instead, comedi_auto_config() stores a pointer to the

The dma_pte_free_pagetable() function will only free a page table page
if it is asked to free the *entire* 2MiB range that it covers. So if a
page table page was used for one or more small mappings, it's likely to
end up still present in the page tables... but with no valid PTEs.
This was fine when we'd only be repopulating it with 4KiB PTEs anyway
but the same virtual address range can end up being reused for a
*large-page* mapping. And in that case were were trying to insert the
large page into the second-level page table, and getting a complaint
from the sanity check in __domain_mapping() because there was already a
corresponding entry. This was *relatively* harmless; it led to a memory
leak of the old page table page, but no other ill-effects.
Fix it by calling dma_pte_clear_range (hopefully redundant) and
dma_pte_free_pagetable() before setting up the new large page.

In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the
buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would
stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log
lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any
time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd
already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking.
There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list,
and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

A high speed control or bulk endpoint may have bInterval set to zero,
which means it does not NAK. If bInterval is non-zero, it means the
endpoint NAKs at a rate of 2^(bInterval - 1).
The xHCI code to compute the NAK interval does not handle the special
case of zero properly. The current code unconditionally subtracts one
from bInterval and uses it as an exponent. This causes a very large
bInterval to be used, and warning messages like these will be printed:
usb 1-1: ep 0x1 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes
This may cause the xHCI host hardware to reject the Configure Endpoint
command, which means the HS device will be unusable under xHCI ports.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain
commit dfa49c4ad120a784ef1ff0717168aa79f55a483a "USB: xhci - fix math in

John's NEC 0.96 xHCI host controller needs a longer timeout for a warm
reset to complete. The logs show it takes 650ms to complete the warm
reset, so extend the hub reset timeout to 800ms to be on the safe side.
If we do have endpoints named like "ep-a" then bEndpointAddress is
counted internally by the gadget framework.
If we do have endpoints named like "ep-1" then bEndpointAddress is
assigned from the digit after "ep-".
If we do have both, then it is likely that after we used up the
"generic" endpoints we will use the digits and thus assign one
bEndpointAddress to multiple endpoints.
This theory can be proofed by using the completely enabled g_multi.
Without this patch, the mass storage won't enumerate and times out
because it shares endpoints with RNDIS.
This patch also adds fills up the endpoints list so we have in total
endpoints 1 to 15 in + out available while some of them are restricted
to certain types like BULK or ISO. Without this change the nokia gadget
won't load because the system does not provide enough (BULK) endpoints
but it did before ep-a - ep-f were removed.

Those rn50 chip are often connected to console remoting hw and load
detection often fails with those. Just don't try to load detect and
report connect.
Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a
NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a
timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous
command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing
the device file).
This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()`
which on return from that function goes and tears down the running
command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular,
`async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by
`do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled
`waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer
regardless, leading to the oops.
Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()`
with `del_timer_sync()`.
When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct
comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct
comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the
hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct
comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver
auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie
to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi
device from the driver, clean it up and free it.
A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the
comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer
associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the
cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from
the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free
it.
Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device`
cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to
ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest
mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to
ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback.
We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past
events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this
barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper().
This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both)
will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask
is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that
certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application.
At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to
indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information
about the VFs belonging to the interface.
This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have
large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned
by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions.
Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with
the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will
not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel.
Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net
devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the
info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed
in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter
mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink
attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible
in the future.

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of
some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache.
This patch disables it on the affected CPUs.
The issue is similar to that one of last year:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html
This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another
quirk for newer CPUs.
The performance penalty without the patch depends on the
circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%.
The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same
physical page under different virtual addresses, so different
processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of
PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both
cores of the same compute unit.
More details can be found here:
http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf
CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver.
That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the
just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera).
The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2,
A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the
range of model ids.
On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

Commit c278531d39 added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is
called without i_mutex being taken. It had previously not been taken
during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in
the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d39, we will now see
a kernel WARN_ON in this case. Take the i_mutex in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.

When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block
device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated,
flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages
from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device.
This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount():
if (sbi->s_journal == NULL)
ext4_commit_super(sb, 1);
at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of
a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem
is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not.
We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been
previously mounted read/write.
