The OR has verified with 2.6.32.11 and the latest alsa-driver stable
daily snapshot that position_fix=1 is necessary for the external mic
to work and for PulseAudio not to crash constantly.
This patch is necessary also for 2.6.32.11 and 2.6.33.2.

The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
and removed.
The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
CPU that has had siblings previously removed.
This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
maps when a cpu is added.

One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges
is not initialized anymore if not explicitly
called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in
<arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>,
for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through
node_to_k8_nb_misc().
Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI
subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization
in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're
running before that.
What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other
places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU
support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained
K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU
which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of
hardware dependency should be
AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD &&
PCI. Make it so Number One!
"If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page
directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this
PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
incorrect addresses."
Where as commit 211b3d03c7400f48a781977a50104c9d12f4e229 seems to
workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of
opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This
patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page
splitting and not tripping this processor issue.
This is based on an original patch by Colin King.

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().
Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().

Use correct bit positions in DM_SHARED_CTRL register for writes.
Michael Planes recently encountered a 'KY-RS9600 USB-LAN converter', which
came with a driver CD containing a Linux driver. This driver turns out to
be a copy of dm9601.c with symbols renamed and my copyright stripped.
That aside, it did contain 1 functional change in dm_write_shared_word(),
and after checking the datasheet the original value was indeed wrong
(read versus write bits).
On Michaels HW, this change bumps receive speed from ~30KB/s to ~900KB/s.
On other devices the difference is less spectacular, but still significant
(~30%).

blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a
timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b8dd18e78a523513749e5b54bda07b0cb
removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero.
Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the
timeout value correctly.
This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so
handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one
function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

Some FSC hardware monitoring chips (Syleus at least) doesn't like
quick writes we typically use to probe for I2C chips. Use a regular
byte read instead for the address they live at (0x73). These are the
only known chips living at this address on PC systems.
For clarity, this fix should not be needed for kernels 2.6.30 and
later, as we started instantiating the hwmon devices explicitly based
on DMI data. Still, this fix is valuable in the following two cases:
* Support for recent FSC chips on older kernels. The DMI-based device
instantiation is more difficult to backport than the device support
itself.
* Case where the DMI-based device instantiation fails, whatever the
reason. We fall back to probing in that case, so it should work.

This patch makes the HyperV network device use the same naming scheme as
other virtual drivers (Xen, KVM). In an ideal world, userspace tools
would not care what the name is, but some users and applications do
care. Vyatta CLI is one of the tools that does depend on what the name
is.
NFSv4 mounts ignore the rsize and wsize mount options, and always use
the default transfer size for both. This seems to be because all
NFSv4 mounts are now cloned, and the cloning logic doesn't copy the
rsize and wsize settings from the parent nfs_server.
I tested Fedora's 2.6.32.11-99 and it seems to have this problem as
well, so I'm guessing that .33, .32, and perhaps older kernels have
this issue as well.
If dentry found stale happens to be a root of disconnected tree, we
can't d_drop() it; its d_hash is actually part of s_anon and d_drop()
would simply hide it from shrink_dcache_for_umount(), leading to
all sorts of fun, including busy inodes on umount and oopsen after
that.
Bug had been there since at least 2006 (commit c636eb already has it),
so it's definitely -stable fodder.

For periodic endpoints, we must let the xHCI hardware know the maximum
payload an endpoint can transfer in one service interval. The xHCI
specification refers to this as the Maximum Endpoint Service Interval Time
Payload (Max ESIT Payload). This is used by the hardware for bandwidth
management and scheduling of packets.
For SuperSpeed endpoints, the maximum is calculated by multiplying the max
packet size by the number of bursts and the number of opportunities to
transfer within a service interval (the Mult field of the SuperSpeed
Endpoint companion descriptor). Devices advertise this in the
wBytesPerInterval field of their SuperSpeed Endpoint Companion Descriptor.
For high speed devices, this is taken by multiplying the max packet size by the
"number of additional transaction opportunities per microframe" (the high
bits of the wMaxPacketSize field in the endpoint descriptor).
For FS/LS devices, this is just the max packet size.
The other thing we must set in the endpoint context is the Average TRB
Length. This is supposed to be the average of the total bytes in the
transfer descriptor (TD), divided by the number of transfer request blocks
(TRBs) it takes to describe the TD. This gives the host controller an
indication of whether the driver will be enqueuing a scatter gather list
with many entries comprised of small buffers, or one contiguous buffer.
It also takes into account the number of extra TRBs you need for every TD.
This includes No-op TRBs and Link TRBs used to link ring segments
together. Some drivers may choose to chain an Event Data TRB on the end
of every TD, thus increasing the average number of TRBs per TD. The Linux
xHCI driver does not use Event Data TRBs.
In theory, if there was an API to allow drivers to state what their
bandwidth requirements are, we could set this field accurately. For now,
we set it to the same number as the Max ESIT payload.
The Average TRB Length should also be set for bulk and control endpoints,
but I have no idea how to guess what it should be.

A SuperSpeed interrupt or isochronous endpoint can define the number of
"burst transactions" it can handle in a service interval. This is
indicated by the "Mult" bits in the bmAttributes of the SuperSpeed
Endpoint Companion Descriptor. For example, if it has a max packet size
of 1024, a max burst of 11, and a mult of 3, the host may send 33
1024-byte packets in one service interval.
We must tell the xHCI host controller the number of multiple service
opportunities (mults) the device can handle when the endpoint is
installed. We do that by setting the Mult field of the Endpoint Context
before a configure endpoint command is sent down. The Mult field is
invalid for control or bulk SuperSpeed endpoints.

This patch (as1363b) changes the way USB remote wakeup is handled
during system sleeps. It won't be enabled unless an interface driver
specifically needs it. Also, it won't be enabled during the FREEZE or
QUIESCE phases of hibernation, when the system doesn't respond to
wakeup events anyway.
This will fix problems people have reported with certain USB webcams
that generate wakeup requests when they shouldn't, and as a result
cause system suspends to fail. See
When detaching a port from the client side (usbip --detach 0),
the event thread, on the server side, is going to deadlock.
The "eh" server thread is getting USBIP_EH_RESET event and calls:
-> stub_device_reset() -> usb_reset_device()
the USB framework is then calling back _in the same "eh" thread_ :
-> stub_disconnect() -> usbip_stop_eh() -> wait_for_completion()
the "eh" thread is being asleep forever, waiting for its own completion.
This patch checks if "eh" is the current thread, in usbip_stop_eh().

The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.
This can be tested by:
ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
keyctl request2 user debug:a a
keyctl request user debug:a $ring
keyctl list $ring
If it says:
keyring is empty
then it didn't work. If it shows something like:
1 key in keyring: 1070462727: --alswrv 0 0 user: debug:a
then it did.
request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.
If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.
Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.
If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

When read_buf is called to move over to the next page in the pagelist
of an NFSv4 request, it sets argp->end to essentially a random
number, certainly not an address within the page which argp->p now
points to. So subsequent calls to READ_BUF will think there is much
more than a page of spare space (the cast to u32 ensures an unsigned
comparison) so we can expect to fall off the end of the second
page.
We never encountered thsi in testing because typically the only
operations which use more than two pages are write-like operations,
which have their own decoding logic. Something like a getattr after a
write may cross a page boundary, but it would be very unusual for it to
cross another boundary after that.

Commit 48b32a3553a54740d236b79a90f20147a25875e3 ("reiserfs: use generic
xattr handlers") introduced a problem that causes corruption when extended
attributes are replaced with a smaller value.
The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved
from before the write to after the write.
The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered
over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded
again while the xattr was written.
The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost.
Commit 677c9b2e393a0cd203bd54e9c18b012b2c73305a ("reiserfs: remove
privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide
the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time
instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via
a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty.
This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and
modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including
root.
This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was
the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never
worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of
d_compare.
This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way.
The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and
caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped

This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.
To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.
Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

Creating many small files in rapid succession on a small
filesystem can lead to spurious ENOSPC; on a 104MB filesystem:
for i in `seq 1 22500`; do
echo -n > $SCRATCH_MNT/$i
echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > $SCRATCH_MNT/$i
done
leads to ENOSPC even though after a sync, 40% of the fs is free
again.
This is because we reserve worst-case metadata for delalloc writes,
and when data is allocated that worst-case reservation is not
usually needed.
When freespace is low, kicking off an async writeback will start
converting that worst-case space usage into something more realistic,
almost always freeing up space to continue.
This resolves the testcase for me, and survives all 4 generic
ENOSPC tests in xfstests.
We'll still need a hard synchronous sync to squeeze out the last bit,
but this fixes things up to a large degree.

ext4, at least, would like to start pushing on writeback if it starts

Reinette found the reason for the warnings that
happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan
finished; her description of the problem:
mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is
busy with management work at the time. The scan requests
are deferred and run after the work has completed. When
this occurs there are currently two problems.
* The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated
with the band and channels to scan not initialized.
* When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated
to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is
that when the driver completes the scan and calls
ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered
since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress.
The reason is that the queued scan work will start
the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct
has already been allocated. However, in the first
pass it will not have been filled, which happens
at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this,
simply move the allocation after the pending work
test as well, so that the first iteration of the
scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even
in the hardware scan case.

This is insufficient. The recvfrom methods must always call
svc_xprt_received on completion so that the socket gets re-queued if
there is any more work to do. This particular path did not make that
call because it actually destroyed the svsk, making requeue pointless.
When the svc_delete_socket was change to just set a bit, we should have
added a call to svc_xprt_received,
This is the problem that b0401d7253 attempted to fix, incorrectly.

For nfsd we provide users the option of mapping uid's to server-side
supplementary group lists. That makes sense for nfsd, but not
necessarily for other rpc users (such as the callback client).
So move that lookup to svcauth_unix_set_client, which is a
program-specific method.

If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to. Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.
So instead set max_phys_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.
This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.
It causes a NULL pointer exception on some configurations when CONFIG_TRACING is
enabled on 2.6.33. This patch fixes the problem (acknowledged by Randy who
reported the bug).
It did not appear to hurt previously because most of the accesses were done
through local_inc, which probably obfuscated the access enough that no compiler
optimizations were done. But with local_read() done when CONFIG_TRACING is
active, this becomes a problem. Non-CONFIG_TRACING is probably affected as well
(module.c contains local_set and local_read that use __module_ref_addr()), but I
guess nobody noticed because we've been lucky enough that the compiler did not
generate the inappropriate optimization pattern there.
This patch should be queued for the 2.6.29.x through 2.6.33.x stable branches.

When Wacom devices wake up from a sleep, the switch mode command
(wacom_query_tablet_data) is needed before wacom_open is called.
wacom_query_tablet_data should not be executed inside wacom_open
since wacom_open is called more than once during probe.
access_bit_width field is u8 in ACPICA, thus 256 value written to it
becomes 0, causing divide by zero later.
Proper fix would be to remove access_bit_width at all, just because
we already have access_byte_width, which is access_bit_width / 8.
Limit access width to 64 bit for now.

Make sure, that TCP has a nonzero RTT estimation after three-way
handshake. Currently, a listening TCP has a value of 0 for srtt,
rttvar and rto right after the three-way handshake is completed
with TCP timestamps disabled.
This will lead to corrupt RTO recalculation and retransmission
flood when RTO is recalculated on backoff reversion as introduced
in "Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable"
(f1ecd5d9e7366609d640ff4040304ea197fbc618).
This behaviour can be provoked by connecting to a server which
"responds first" (like SMTP) and rejecting every packet after
the handshake with dest-unreachable, which will lead to softirq
load on the server (up to 30% per socket in some tests).

Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error.
Based on this initial thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1
This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169
driver. As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance
hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating
the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was
for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any).
Summary:
A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper
allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too
much data. This was done in commit fdd7b4c3302c93f6833e338903ea77245eb510b4. A
long time prior to that however, Francois posted 126fa4b9ca5d9d7cb7d46f779ad3bd3631ca387c, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize
setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong
frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver. This was mentioned in a
security conference recently:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html
It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly
noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing
corruption. As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which
is ready to handle a maximally sized receive.
This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this
patch does two things:
1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force
appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k
buffer.
2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC
open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation
to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous).
Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can
otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure
is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu
such that performance is restored easily.

There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a
mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within
the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success
and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been
fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true
because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan
completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the
internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan)
will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211
will receive a scan completion.
Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan
request arrives from mac80211.

sched: Fix a race between ttwu() and migrate_task()
Based on commit e2912009fb7b715728311b0d8fe327a1432b3f79 upstream, but
done differently as this issue is not present in .33 or .34 kernels due
to rework in this area.
If a task is in the TASK_WAITING state, then try_to_wake_up() is working
on it, and it will place it on the correct cpu.
This commit ensures that neither migrate_task() nor __migrate_task()
calls set_task_cpu(p) while p is in the TASK_WAKING state. Otherwise,
there could be two concurrent calls to set_task_cpu(p), resulting in
the task's cfs_rq being inconsistent with its cpu.

If the lower file system driver has extended attributes disabled,
ecryptfs' own access functions return -ENOSYS instead of -EOPNOTSUPP.
This breaks execution of programs in the ecryptfs mount, since the
kernel expects the latter error when checking for security
capabilities in xattrs.
Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of
reading the lower target and decrypting its path. Prior to this patch,
a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path,
while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path. This
could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two
values should be equal.
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.
When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.
The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.
As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().
This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed the string in info->hardware_id from a static
array to a pointer and added a length field. But instead of changing
"sizeof(array)" to "length", we changed it to "sizeof(length)" (== 4),
which corrupts the string we're trying to null-terminate.
We no longer even need to null-terminate the string, but we *do* need to
check whether we found a HID. If there's no HID, we used to have an empty
array, but now we have a null pointer.
The combination of these defects causes this oops:

The Biostar mobo seems to give a wrong DMA position, resulting in
stuttering or skipping sounds on 2.6.34. Since the commit 7b3a177b0d4f92b3431b8dca777313a07533a710, "ALSA: pcm_lib: fix "something
must be really wrong" condition", makes the position check more strictly,
the DMA position problem is revealed more clearly now.
The fix is to use only LPIB for obtaining the position, i.e. passing
position_fix=1. This patch adds a static quirk to achieve it as default.

This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when
DMA doesn't work.
The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user
reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it
automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is
wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO
case.

If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.
