[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write path
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN
repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually
failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption.
There are three changes that were suggested by various network
developers:
1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg
(we left in the retry on failure)
2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket
(let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better
in the TCP stack now)
3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp
session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do
not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning
of the next SMB.
This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has
been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes
a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress
test cases.

Impact: make warning message disappear - functionality unchanged
Problems with bogus IRQ0 override of those laptops should be fixed
with commits
x86: SB600: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC
x86: SB450: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC
that introduce early-quirks based on chipset configuration.
For further information, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516
Instead of removing the related dmi-quirks completely we'd like to
keep them for (at least) one kernel version -- to double-check whether
the early-quirks really took effect. But the dmi-quirks need to be
called after early-quirks are executed. With this patch calling
sequence for dmi-quriks is changed as follows:
The NUMA code on x86_32 creates special memory mapping that allows
each node's pgdat to be located in this node's memory. For this
purpose it allocates a memory area at the end of each node's memory
and maps this area so that it is accessible with virtual addresses
belonging to low memory. As a result, if there is high memory,
these NUMA-allocated areas are physically located in high memory,
although they are mapped to low memory addresses.
Our hibernation code does not take that into account and for this
reason hibernation fails on all x86_32 systems with CONFIG_NUMA=y and
with high memory present. Fix this by adding a special mapping for
the NUMA-allocated memory areas to the temporary page tables created
during the last phase of resume.

When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds
an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree
which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this
can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not
supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init().
The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
too late. Move it a bit earlier.
There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the
fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same
purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this.

A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.
As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:
In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in
cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
if (stat->time_in_state)
stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}
Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

Now that the PCI core manages the 'name' for each individual
hotplug driver, and all drivers (except rpaphp) have been converted
to use hotplug_slot_name(), there is no need for the PCI hotplug
core to drag around its own copy of name either.
We no longer need to manage our version of hotplug_slot->name
since the PCI and hotplug core manage it on our behalf.
Update the sn_hp_slot_private_alloc() interface to fill in
the correct name for us, as that function already has all
the parameters needed to determine the name.
rpaphp tends to use slot->name directly everywhere, and doesn't
ever need slot->hotplug_slot->name.
struct hotplug_slot->name is going away, so convert rpaphp directly
manipulate its own slot->name everywhere, and don't bother touching
slot->hotplug_slot->name.
In preparation for cleaning up the various hotplug drivers
such that they don't have to manage their own 'name' parameters
anymore, we provide the following convenience functions:
pci_slot_name()
hotplug_slot_name()
These helpers will be used by individual hotplug drivers.
Prevent callers of pci_create_slot() from registering slots with
duplicate names. This condition occurs most often when PCI hotplug
drivers are loaded on platforms with broken firmware that assigns
identical names to multiple slots.
We now rename these duplicate slots on behalf of the user.
If firmware assigns the name N to multiple slots, then:
The first registered slot is assigned N
The second registered slot is assigned N-1
The third registered slot is assigned N-2
etc.
This is the permanent fix mentioned in earlier commits d6a9e9b4 and 167e782e (shpchp/pciehp: Rename duplicate slot name...).
We take advantage of the new 'hotplug' parameter in pci_create_slot()
to prevent a slot create/rename race between hotplug drivers and
detection drivers.
The hotplug driver creates the slot with its desired name, and then
releases the semaphore. Now, the detection driver tries to create
the same slot, but it already exists. We don't care about renaming,
so return the existing slot.
The detection driver creates the slot with name "X". Then the hotplug
driver tries to create the same slot, but wants the name "Y" instead.
We detect that we're trying to create the same slot and that we also
want a rename, so rename the slot to "Y" and return.
Two separate hotplug drivers are attempting to claim the slot and
are passing valid hotplug_slot args to pci_create_slot(). We detect
that the slot already has a ->hotplug callback, prevent a rename,
and return -EBUSY.
Slot detection drivers can co-exist with hotplug drivers. The names
of the detected/claimed slots may be different depending on module
load order.
For legacy reasons, we need to allow hotplug drivers to override
the slot name if a detection driver is loaded first (and they find
the same slots).
Creating and overriding slot names should be an atomic operation,
otherwise you get a locking nightmare as various drivers race to
call pci_create_slot().
pci_create_slot() is already serialized by grabbing the pci_bus_sem.
We update the API and add a 'hotplug' param, which is:
set if the caller is a hotplug driver
NULL if the caller is a detection driver
pci_create_slot() does not actually use the 'hotplug' parameter in this
patch. A later patch will add the logic that uses it.
Update pci_hp_register() to take a const char *name parameter.
The motivation for this is to clean up the individual hotplug
drivers so that each one does not have to manage its own name.
The PCI core should be the place where we manage the name.
We update the interface and all callsites first, in a
"no functional change" manner, and clean up the drivers later.
after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.
I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:
This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.
This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?
I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811
Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:
DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0
Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).
We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.
Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

Impact: fix boot crash on AMD IOMMU if CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is off
Currently these macros evaluate to a no-op except the kernel is compiled
with GART or Calgary support. But we also need these macros when we have
SWIOTLB, VT-d or AMD IOMMU in the kernel. Since we always compile at
least with SWIOTLB we can define these macros always.
This patch is also for stable backport for the same reason the SWIOTLB
default selection patch is.
Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.
The netmos_9xx5_combo type assumes that PCI SSID provides always the
correct value for the number of parallel and serial ports, but there are
indeed broken devices with wrong numbers, which may result in Oops.
This patch simply adds the check of the array range.
The Zepto 6615WD laptop (rebranded Inventec Symphony system) needs a
key release quirk for its volume keys to work. The attached patch adds
the quirk to the atkbd driver.
This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698
"Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about
what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result
was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a
NULL pointer reference.
Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest
fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU
info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the
"Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the
cleanup will come in a later patch.

To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and
ih->mutex. That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all
other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount. We can
*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will
happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially
outliving its superblock.
Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we
can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until
we are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super().
However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with
umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore?
We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait
until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining
for fjords. That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the
window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.
the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading
for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
->s_umount.
We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather
antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed
->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that
->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with
inotify_umount_inodes().
So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just
with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had
to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch
could've been gone already.
That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
whatever's more convenient.
So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
"grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
superblock won't be going away.
And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
concept of inotify to start with.
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.
Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash
the kernel and as such enforce a DSO.
A simple testcase is available here:
http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz
The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption()
crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries to
unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack(). Since the stack contains
userspace addresses, a try to unwind the stack is dangerous and useless
and leads to the crash.
The fix is trivial: For userspace processes
a) avoid to unwind the stack, and
b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names.
While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS
printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static.
An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August:

A problem was found while reviewing the code after Bugzilla bug
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796.
In ipc_addid(), the newly allocated ipc structure is inserted into the
ipcs tree (i.e made visible to readers) without locking it. This is not
correct since its initialization continues after it has been inserted in
the tree.
This patch moves the ipc structure lock initialization + locking before
the actual insertion.
kunmap() takes as argument the struct page that orginally got kmap()'d,
however the sg_miter_stop() function passed it the kernel virtual address
instead, resulting in weird stuff.
Somehow I ended up fixing this bug by accident while looking for a bug in
the same area.

Fixes a data corruption bug in pxa2xx_spi.c when operating in full duplex
mode with DMA and using buffers that overlap.
SPI transmit and receive buffers are allowed to be the same or to overlap.
However, this driver fails if such overlap is attempted in DMA mode
because it maps the rx and tx buffers in the wrong order. By mapping
DMA_FROM_DEVICE (read) before DMA_TO_DEVICE (write), it invalidates the
cache before flushing it, thus discarding data which should have been
transmitted.
The patch corrects the order of mapping. This bug exists in all versions
of pxa2xx_spi.c; similar bugs are in the drivers for two other SPI
controllers (au1500, imx).
A version of this patch has been tested on kernel 2.6.20 using
verification of loopback data with: random transfer length, random
bits-per-word, random positive offsets (both larger and smaller than
transfer length) between the start of the rx and tx buffers, and varying
clock rates.

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.
Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.

the packets and a packet's data is partially read, the next read call
will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter
is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size.
So, when dumping USB data with "cat /dev/usbmon0 > usbmon.trace" while
reading from a USB storage device and analyzing the dump file
afterwards it will get out of sync after a couple of packets.

Somewhere in the conversion of the RNDIS gadget code to the new
framework, the descriptor of its data interface seems to have
been copied from the CDC Ethernet driver. Unfortunately that
means it got a nonzero altsetting ... which is incorrect. Issue
uncovered by Richard Röjfors <richard.rojfors@endian.se>.
This patch fixes that problem, and resolves at least some cases
of Windows XP bluescreening itself.

It turns out that atomic_inc_return() returns the *new* value
not the original one, so the logic in rndis_response_available()
kept the first RNDIS response notification from getting out.
This prevented interoperation with MS-Windows (but not Linux).
Fix this to make RNDIS behave again.

This patch (as1155) fixes a bug in usbcore. When interfaces are
deleted, either because the device was disconnected or because of a
configuration change, the extra attribute files and child endpoint
devices may get left behind. This is because the core removes them
before calling device_del(). But during device_del(), after the
driver is unbound the core will reinstall altsetting 0 and recreate
those extra attributes and children.
The patch prevents this by adding a flag to record when the interface
is in the midst of being unregistered. When the flag is set, the
attribute files and child devices will not be created.

This patch (as1165) makes a few small changes in the logic used by
ehci-hcd when it encounters a controller error:
Instead of printing out the masked status, it prints the
original status as read directly from the hardware.
It doesn't check for the STS_HALT status bit before taking
action. The mere fact that the STS_FATAL bit is set means
that something bad has happened and the controller needs to
be reset. With the old code this test could never succeed
because the STS_HALT bit was masked out from the status.
I anticipate that this will prevent the occasional "irq X: nobody cared"
problem people encounter when their EHCI controllers die.

Fixes an obvious bug in cdc-acm by avoiding a recursive lock on

but task is already holding lock:

Add ehci_shutdown() or ohci_shutdown() calls to the USB

This fixes a deadlock appearing with some USB peripheral drivers
when running CDC ACM gadget code.
The newish (2.6.27) CDC ACM event notification mechanism sends
messages (IN to the host) which are short enough to fit in most
FIFOs. That means that with some peripheral controller drivers
(evidently not the ones used to verify the notification code!!)
the completion callback can be issued before queue() returns.
The deadlock would come because the completion callback and the
event-issuing code shared a spinlock. Fix is trivial: drop
that lock while queueing the message.

dpt_i2o.c::adpt_i2o_to_scsi() reads the value at (reply+5) which
should contain the length in bytes of the transferred data. This
would be correct if reply was a u32 *. However it is a void * here,
so we need to read the value at (reply+20) instead.
The value at (reply+5) is usually 0xff0000, which is apparently
'large enough' and didn't cause any trouble until 2.6.27 where
Mike Reed noted
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421330) that the
driver was incorrectly returning a SUCCESS status if the driver's
request to the firmware to abort a command failed. By doing so,
the mid-layer believed, incorrectly, that the command has
completed and has been returned (ultimately clearing
scsi_cmnd.request_buffer) yet the driver still has the command.
What should correctly happen is a mid-layer escalation
(device-reset, etc.) of recovery during which the driver will
eventually return the outstanding commands to the mid-layer.

According to ACPI spec when the status of some device is not present
but functional, the device is valid and the children of this device
should be enumerated. It means that the device should be added to
linux acpi device tree. But the device driver for this device should not
be loaded.
The detailed info can be found in the section 6.3.7 of ACPI 3.0b spec.
_STA may return bit 0 clear (not present) with bit 3 set (device is
functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for which no
device driver should be loaded (for example, a bridge device.).
Children of this device may be present and valid. OS should continue
enumeration below a device whose _STA returns this bit combination

cpu_coregroup_map used to grab a mutex on s390 since it was only
called from process context.
Since c7c22e4d5c1fdebfac4dba76de7d0338c2b0d832 "block: add support
for IO CPU affinity" this is not true anymore.
It now also gets called from softirq context.
To prevent possible deadlocks change this in architecture code and
use a spinlock instead of a mutex.
Not all tvaudio chips allow controlling bass/treble. So, the driver
has a table with a flag to indicate if the chip does support it.
Unfortunately, the handling of this logic were broken for a very long
time (probably since the first module version). Due to that, an OOPS
were generated for devices that don't support bass/treble.
This were the resulting OOPS message before the patch, with debug messages
enabled:
icmpmsg_put() can happily corrupt kernel memory, using a static
table and forgetting to reset an array index in a loop.
Remove the static array since its not safe without proper locking.

My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using
page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong.
pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not
present at all. This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone()
or spin_lock_irqsave().
Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page
for page_zone().
The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination
for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish
these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to
select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt.
This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was
changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq:

But blk_recalc_rq_segments might expect that req->biotail and the
previous bio in the req are supposed be merged into one
segment. blk_recalc_rq_segments might also expect that next_req->bio
and the next bio in the next_req are supposed be merged into one
segment. In such case, we merge two requests that can't be merged
here. Later, blk_rq_map_sg gives more segments than it should.
We need to keep track of segment size in blk_recalc_rq_segments and
use it to see if two requests can be merged. This patch implements it
in the similar way that we used to do for hw merging (virtual
merging).

HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of
