This patch (as999) fixes a problem that sometimes shows up when host
controller driver modules are loaded in the wrong order. If ehci-hcd
happens to initialize an EHCI controller while the companion OHCI or
UHCI controller is in the middle of a port reset, the reset can fail
and the companion may get very confused. The patch adds an
rw-semaphore and uses it to keep EHCI initialization and port resets
mutually exclusive.

Fix a longstanding race in the Ethernet gadget driver, which can cause an
oops on device disconnect. The fix is just to make the TX path check
whether its freelist is empty. That check is otherwise not necessary,
since the queue is always stopped when that list empties (and restarted
when request completion puts an entry back on that freelist).
The race window starts when the network code decides to transmit a packet,
and ends when hard_start_xmit() grabs the freelist lock. When disconnect()
is called inside that window, it shuts down the TX queue and breaks the
otherwise-solid assumption that packets are never sent through a TX queue
that's stopped.

This patch (as995) cleans up the remains of the former NO_AUTOSUSPEND
quirk. Since autosuspend is disabled by default, we will let
userspace worry about which devices can safely be suspended. Thus the
lengthy series of quirk entries is no longer needed, and neither is
the quirk ID. I suppose someone might eventually run across a hub
that can't be suspended; let's ignore the possibility for now.
The patch also cleans up the hasty way in which autosuspend gets
disabled. Setting udev->autosuspend_delay to -1 wasn't quite right,
because the value is always supposed to be a multiple of HZ. It's
better to leave the delay value alone and set autosuspend_disabled,
which is what the quirk routine used to do.

This is the correct merge of the two upstream patches for this issue (it

ops_complete_biofill() runs outside of spin_lock(&sh->lock) and clears the
'pending' and 'ack' bits. Since the test_and_ack_op() macro only checks
against 'complete' it can get an inconsistent snapshot of pending work.
Move the clearing of these bits to handle_stripe5(), under the lock.

This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper.
thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the
device.
Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter.
struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache
and be reused later.
Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead.
unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev()
by checking the device is frozen or not.
Easy reproducer is:
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
dmsetup --notable create a
dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a
dmsetup remove a
done
It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore.
So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode():
if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1)
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n",
atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count),
&ei->bdev);
Without the patch, I saw something like:
Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0)
With the patch, the message didn't appear.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix:
Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with
inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem.
and backported to 2.6.15.5.
It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is
removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is
non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without
noflush.
The number of mixer elements for SPDIF control don't match with the
actual array size (3). This may result in a memory corruption that
overwrites the i2c_capture_source field (ALSA bug#3095).

Firmware commands are sent to the HCA by writing multiple words to a
command register block. Access to this block of registers is
serialized with a mutex. However, on large SGI systems, problems were
seen with multiple CPUs issuing FW commands at the same time, because
the writes to the register block may be reordered within the system
interconnect and reach the HCA in a different order than they were
issued (even with the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before
dropping the mutex.

[PKT_SCHED] CLS_U32: Fix endianness problem with u32 classifier hash masks.
While trying to implement u32 hashes in my shaping machine I ran into
a possible bug in the u32 hash/bucket computing algorithm
(net/sched/cls_u32.c).
The problem occurs only with hash masks that extend over the octet
boundary, on little endian machines (where htonl() actually does
something).
Let's say that I would like to use 0x3fc0 as the hash mask. This means
8 contiguous "1" bits starting at b6. With such a mask, the expected
(and logical) behavior is to hash any address in, for instance,
192.168.0.0/26 in bucket 0, then any address in 192.168.0.64/26 in
bucket 1, then 192.168.0.128/26 in bucket 2 and so on.
This is exactly what would happen on a big endian machine, but on
little endian machines, what would actually happen with current
implementation is 0x3fc0 being reversed (into 0xc03f0000) by htonl()
in the userspace tool and then applied to 192.168.x.x in the u32
classifier. When shifting right by 16 bits (rank of first "1" bit in
the reversed mask) and applying the divisor mask (0xff for divisor
256), what would actually remain is 0x3f applied on the "168" octet of
the address.
One could say is this can be easily worked around by taking endianness
into account in userspace and supplying an appropriate mask (0xfc03)
that would be turned into contiguous "1" bits when reversed
(0x03fc0000). But the actual problem is the network address (inside
the packet) not being converted to host order, but used as a
host-order value when computing the bucket.
Let's say the network address is written as n31 n30 ... n0, with n0
being the least significant bit. When used directly (without any
conversion) on a little endian machine, it becomes n7 ... n0 n8 ..n15
etc in the machine's registers. Thus bits n7 and n8 would no longer be
adjacent and 192.168.64.0/26 and 192.168.128.0/26 would no longer be
consecutive.
The fix is to apply ntohl() on the hmask before computing fshift,
and in u32_hash_fold() convert the packet data to host order before
shifting down by fshift.
With helpful feedback from Jamal Hadi Salim and Jarek Poplawski.

We round up the header size in sk_stream_alloc_pskb so that
TSO packets get zero tail room. Unfortunately this rounding
up is not coordinated with the select_size() function used by
TCP to calculate the second parameter of sk_stream_alloc_pskb.
As a result, we may allocate more than a page of data in the
non-TSO case when exactly one page is desired.
In fact, rounding up the head room is detrimental in the non-TSO
case because it makes memory that would otherwise be available to
the payload head room. TSO doesn't need this either, all it wants
is the guarantee that there is no tail room.
So this patch fixes this by adjusting the skb_reserve call so that
exactly the requested amount (which all callers have calculated in
a precise way) is made available as tail room.

The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause
an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent.
In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with
skb_shared_info. The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header
has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is.
Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of
skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length. The resulting
quantity L satisfies the following inequality:
This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the
bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just
being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that
this ever affected.

I ran into this problem on a system that was unable to obtain NTP sync
because the clock was running very slow (over 10000ppm slow). ntpd had
declared all of its peers 'reject' with 'peer_dist' reason.
On investigation, the tsc_khz variable was significantly incorrect
causing xtime to run slow. After a reboot tsc_khz was correct so I
did a reboot test to see how often the problem occurred:
Test was done on a 2000 Mhz Xeon system. Of 689 reboots, 8 of them
had unacceptable tsc_khz values (>500ppm):
It appears that on rare occasions, mach_countup() is taking longer to
complete than necessary.
I suspect that this is caused by the CPU taking a periodic SMI
interrupt right at the end of the 30ms calibration loop. This would
cause the loop to delay while the SMI BIOS hander runs. The resulting
TSC value is beyond what it actually should be resulting in a higher
tsc_khz.
The below patch makes native_calculate_cpu_khz() take the best
(shortest duration, lowest khz) run of it's 3 calibration loops. If a
SMI goes off causing a bad result (long duration, higher khz) it will
be discarded.
With the patch applied, 300 boots of the same system produce good
results:
We use signed values for limit checking since the values can go
negative under certain circumstances. However, sizeof() is unsigned
and forces the comparison to be unsigned, so move the comparison into
the heap_free() macros so we can ensure it is a signed comparison.

XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it
virtually contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being
recycled into a pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of
the page.
This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS
always eagerly unmap its mappings.
[ Stable: This works around a bug in 2.6.23. We may come up with a
better solution for mainline, but this seems like a low-impact fix for
the stable kernel. ]

The kernel's copy of struct vcpu_register_vcpu_info was out of date,

When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its
pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no
stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the
usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but
is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time
the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed.
This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 -
which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once
the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors
wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3
values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running
in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel
thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode
linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by
host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit
when user mode linux kernel abort.

Stop including asm/user.h from libc - it seems to be disappearing from
distros. It's replaced with sys/user.h which defines user_fpregs_struct and
user_fpxregs_struct instead of user_i387_struct and struct user_fxsr_struct on
i386.
As a bonus, on x86_64, I get to dump some stupid typedefs which were needed in
order to get asm/user.h to compile.

Tested with Malta; inflates malta_defconfig by 3932 bytes. Ideally there
should be additional configuration to allow getting rid of this overhead
but that would be too much complexity at this stage of the release cycle.
When GDB writes a breakpoint into address area of inferior process the
kernel needs to invalidate the modified memory in the inferior which
is done by calling flush_cache_page which in turns calls
r4k_flush_cache_page and local_r4k_flush_cache_page for VSMP or SMTC
kernel via r4k_on_each_cpu().
As the VSMP and SMTC SMP kernels for 34K are running on a single shared
caches it is possible to get away without interprocessor function calls.
This optimization is implemented in r4k_on_each_cpu, so
local_r4k_flush_cache_page is only ever called on the local CPU.
This is where the following code in local_r4k_flush_cache_page() strikes:
/*
* If ownes no valid ASID yet, cannot possibly have gotten
* this page into the cache.
*/
if (cpu_context(smp_processor_id(), mm) == 0)
return;
On VSMP and SMTC had a function of cpu_context() for each CPU(TC).
So in case another CPU than the CPU executing local_r4k_cache_flush_page
has not accessed the mm but one of the other CPUs has there may be data
to be flushed in the cache yet local_r4k_cache_flush_page will falsely
return leaving the I-cache inconsistent for the breakpoint.
While the issue was discovered with GDB it also exists in
local_r4k_flush_cache_range() and local_r4k_flush_cache().
Fixed by introducing a new function has_valid_asid which on MT kernels
returns true if a mm is active on any processor in the system.
This is relativly expensive since for memory acccesses in that loop
cache misses have to be assumed but it seems the most viable solution
for 2.6.23 and older -stable kernels.

For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list! The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.
So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.
It's possible to provoke unionfs (not yet in mainline, though in mm and
some distros) to hit shmem_writepage's BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)). I expect
it's possible to provoke the 2.6.23 ecryptfs in the same way (but the
2.6.24 ecryptfs no longer calls lower level's ->writepage).
This came to light with the recent find that AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE could
leak from tmpfs via write_cache_pages and unionfs to userspace. There's
already a fix (e423003028183df54f039dfda8b58c49e78c89d7 - writeback: don't
propagate AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE) in the tree for that, and it's okay so
far as it goes; but insufficient because it doesn't address the underlying
issue, that shmem_writepage expects to be called only by vmscan (relying on
backing_dev_info capabilities to prevent the normal writeback path from
ever approaching it).
That's an increasingly fragile assumption, and ramdisk_writepage (the other
source of AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEs) is already careful to check
wbc->for_reclaim before returning it. Make the same check in
shmem_writepage, thereby sidestepping the page_mapped BUG also.
compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:
(void __user *)entry + futex_offset
'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').
Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.
Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.
This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().
Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.
Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.
Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():
1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1

Fix the memory leak that may occur when we attempt to reuse a cpu_slab
that was allocated while we reenabled interrupts in order to be able to
grow a slab cache. The per cpu freelist may contain objects and in that
situation we may overwrite the per cpu freelist pointer loosing objects.
This only occurs if we find that the concurrently allocated slab fits
our allocation needs.
If we simply always deactivate the slab then the freelist will be properly
reintegrated and the memory leak will go away.

Remove broken ptrace() special-case code from file mapping
The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses
to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the
file.
However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in
commit 54cb8821de07f2ffcd28c380ce9b93d5784b40d7 ("mm: merge populate and
nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with
gdb when trying to access the invalid page.
The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is
wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity
standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the
ptrace() hang in the process.
Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case
(quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had,
thanks Duane!").
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite
loop (under the BKL).
For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may
want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of
deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix
is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to
be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

It is possible for the current->curr_chain_key to become inconsistent with the
current index if the chain fails to validate. The end result is that future
lock_acquire() operations may inadvertently fail to find a hit in the cache
resulting in a new node being added to the graph for every acquire.
