hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty state
__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of
huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the
event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application
creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the
hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".
drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if
there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb
file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on
application.
Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed
up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.

- the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and
didn't even parenthesize them properly
- despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for
constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the

tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close path
This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index.
When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then
pty_close() is called:
if (tty->driver->close)
tty->driver->close(tty, filp);
This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(),
being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed:
#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
if (tty->driver == ptm_driver)
devpts_pty_kill(tty->index);
#endif
But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for
&devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being
opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index:
This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is
that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and
blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.
When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the
relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps
waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev().
Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty
is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track:
/* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */
if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) {
tty = devpts_get_tty(idx);
if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER)
tty = tty->link;
} else {
tty = driver->ttys[idx];
}
if (tty) goto fast_track;
The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns
sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume.
Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases
the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still
has it.
Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0,
because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls
release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last
slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0,
slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr
index.
This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a
customer's critical application, it's never too simple:
thread1: opens master, gets index X
thread1: begin closing master
thread2: begin opening slave with index X
thread1: finishes closing master, index X released
thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released
thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <----
thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use
and healthy tty and fails
If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the
first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because
you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid.
The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail
imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's
safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev()
won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex.
Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings

POWERPC: Fix performance monitor exception
To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.
The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in
this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.
[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.
-- paulus.]
This restores the previous behaviour for these devices by ensuring that when
the voltage is changed, only one write to set the voltage is performed.
It may be that both writes are needed if the voltage is being changed between
two non-zero values or that it's safe to ensure that only one write is done
if the hardware only supports one voltage; I don't know whether either is the
case nor can I test since I have only the one SD reader (1524:0550), and it
supports just the one voltage.

UML - Fix 2.6.20 hang
A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken
interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used
elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the
actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be
reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching
between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the
inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array
had enough room.
maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on
a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous
contents were lost.
This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count
and to ensure that the proper elements are resent.
This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support
SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The
result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor
sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

Prevent pseudo garbage in SYN's advertized window
TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window
scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd
(32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling
resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the
low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when
mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch
fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested
only).
In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver
advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure
that such situation would be handled very well at all by the
receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the
first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct,
scaled window.
Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to
prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place.

However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations

The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:
The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.
This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.
