myri10ge: do not use mgp->max_intr_slots before loading the firmware
part of commit 0dcffac1a329be69bab0ac604bf7283737108e68 upstream
(the upstream multislice patch contains this fix within a large
rework of the code since there is one rx_done ring per slice. The
old allocating is replaced by a call to myri10ge_probe_slices())
Allocating the rx_done ring requires mgp->max_intr_slots to
be valid, which requires that we already loaded the firmware
we are going to use with this ring.
So move the allocating after myri10ge_load_firmware()
(but keep it before myri10ge_reset() which already needs the
rx_done ring).
If fixedsa regression where loading the driver would not
appear to do anything. Regression introduced in 2.6.26-rc3 by
commit 014377a1df693ff30a9e8b69f0bbb0a38e601f75

myri10ge: do not forget to setup the single slice pointers
part of commit 0dcffac1a329be69bab0ac604bf7283737108e68 upstream
(the upstream multislice patch contains the same fix within
myri10ge_alloc_slices() which does this for every slice)
Even if we don't have multiple slices in myri10ge in 2.6.26,
we already use some multislice-aware routines that need the
slice state pointers to mgp and dev to be valid.
This patch fixes a regression where configuring the interface up
would oops in myri10ge_allocate_rings() when using ss->mgp
(and later when using ss->dev).

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.

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-at91rm9200 by scrubbing old IRQ status
before enabling IRQs.
It also removes nonfunctional periodic IRQ support from this driver;
only update IRQs are reported, or provided by the hardware.
I suspect some other RTCs probably have versions of #11112; it's easy to
overlook, since most non-RTC drivers don't care about spurious IRQs:
they're not reported to userspace.

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.

- Changelog :
- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.
The explanation for recent video BIOS suspend quirk failures is that
the VESA BIOS expects to be entered in Big Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffffffff)
instead of ordinary Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffff).
This patch changes the segment descriptors to Big Real Mode instead.
The segment descriptor registers (what Intel calls "segment cache") is
always active. The only thing that changes based on CR0.PE is how it is
*loaded* and the interpretation of the CS flags.
The segment descriptor registers contain of the following sub-registers:
selector (the "visible" part), base, limit and flags. In protected mode
or long mode, they are loaded from descriptors (or fs.base or gs.base can
be manipulated directly in long mode.) In real mode, the only thing
changed by a segment register load is the selector and the base, where the
base <- selector << 4. In particular, *the limit and the flags are not
changed*.
As far as the handling of the CS flags: a code segment cannot be writable
in protected mode, whereas it is "just another segment" in real mode, so
there is some kind of quirk that kicks in for this when CR0.PE <- 0. I'm
not sure if this is accomplished by actually changing the cs.flags register
or just changing the interpretation; it might be something that is
CPU-specific. In particular, the Transmeta CPUs had an explicit "CS is
writable if you're in real mode" override, so even if you had loaded CS
with an execute-only segment it'd be writable (but not readable!) on return
to real mode. I'm not at all sure if that is how other CPUs behave.

The comment was correct -- need to make the code match the comment.
Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever)
in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing,
grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy
of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded
correctly...) is as follows:
o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter
is (say) 10.
o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's
dynticks_progress_counter to 11.
o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(),
sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(),
which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter
into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then
updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments
CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12.
o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that
CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes
rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the
state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot
variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11),
respectively.
Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails.
Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second
condition fails.
rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes
that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the
counter flip.
o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking
any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running
any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually
happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the
wild. Still should be fixed!)
Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match
the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario
would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period
to proceed.

ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access
registers. The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more
meaningful variety of errors. The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV
for !cpu_has_fxsr hardware. Make ptrace return the traditional
-EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.
The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging)
sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling
set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens
up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area.
Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.

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

This is a trivial patch against the hdlcdrv module that fixes its CRC

each packet rather than being appended to the end.
I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed
much recently so it should work with many other kernel versions.

Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating

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.

Fix reference counting race on log buffers

we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.
But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang.

Some BIOSen enable DIPM via _GTF which causes command timeouts under
certain configuration. This didn't occur on 2.6.25 because 2.6.25
defaulted to SRST, so _GTF wasn't executed during boot probe, so ahci
host reset disabled DIPM and as _GTF wasn't executed after SRST, DIPM
wasn't enabled. On 2.6.26, hardreset is used during probe and after
probe _GTF is executed enabling DIPM and thus the failures.
This patch could theoretically disable DIPM on machines which used to
have it enabled on 2.6.25 but AFAIK ahci is currently the only driver
which uses SATA ACPI hierarchy (_SDD) and as the host reset would have
always disabled DIPM, this shouldn't happen.

tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state
The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during

The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens

there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it

Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

Add ioremap_default(), which gives a sane mapping without worrying about

Use it in /dev/mem read in place of ioremap(), as with ioremap(),
any mapping of the region (other than UC_MINUS) will cause a conflict

Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is

is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.
Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.
