lockd: don't clear sm_monitored on nsm_reboot_lookup

When lockd gets a notify downcall from statd, it'll search its hosts
cache and then clear the sm_monitored bit on the host it finds. The idea
is apparently to make lockd redo a SM_MON on the next lock request.

This is unnecessary and causes the kernel's NSM cache to go out of sync
with statd. statd doesn't stop monitoring a host when it gets a
SM_NOTIFY and there's no guarantee that another lock will occur after
the reclaim and before the unmount. In that event, no SM_UNMON will
occur.

SUNRPC: NFS kernel APIs shouldn't return ENOENT for "transport not found"

EPROTONOSUPPORT so that rpc.nfsd (in user space) can report an error
message that makes sense.

It turns out that several of the other kernel APIs rpc.nfsd use can
also return ENOENT from svc_create_xprt(), by way of lockd_up().

On the client side, an NFSv2 or NFSv3 mount request can also return
the result of lockd_up().  This error may also be returned during an
NFSv4 mount request, since the NFSv4 callback service uses
svc_create_xprt() to create the callback listener.  An ENOENT error
return results in a confusing error message from the mount command.

14 years agosata_promise: don't classify overruns as HSM errors
Mikael Pettersson [Sat, 9 Jan 2010 22:32:06 +0000 (23:32 +0100)]
sata_promise: don't classify overruns as HSM errors

When sata_promise encounters an overrun or underrun error it
translates that to a libata AC_ERR_HSM, causing a hard reset.
Since over/under-runs were thought to be rare and transient,
this action seemed reasonable.

Unfortunately it turns out that the controller throws overrun
errors when e.g. hal polls a CD or DVD writer containing blank
media, causing long sequences of hard resets and retries before
EH finally gives up.

This patch updates sata_promise to classify over/under-runs as
AC_ERR_OTHER instead. This allows libata EH and upper layers to
retry or fail the operation as they see fit without the disruption
caused by repeated hard resets.

This fixes a problem using a DVD-RAM drive with sata_promise,
reported by Thomas Schorpp. I also tested it on a DVD-RW drive.

core, x86: make LIST_POISON less deadly

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.

device could still be in use, for example, because the card was removed
while files were still open.

In addition, to be sure that 'mmc_request()' will get called for all new
requests (so it can error them out), the queue is emptied during cleanup.
This is done after the worker thread is stopped to avoid racing with it.

Finally, it is not a device error for this to be happening, so quiet the

 1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to

 2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.

I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

14 years agokernel/signal.c: fix kernel information leak with print-fatal-signals=1

kernel/signal.c: fix kernel information leak with print-fatal-signals=1

When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.

Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.

The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.

In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)

Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.

But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.
