During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
gets out of sync with netdev->features.
This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
setup and is hitting many VMware users.
Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.
3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
netdev->features shows it's disabled.
Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.
The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
in net-next, see commit a0d2730c9571aeba793cb5d3009094ee1d8fda35

This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.
The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.
This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.
This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

Fix time() inconsistencies caused by intermediate xtime_cache values being read
Currently with 2.6.32-longterm, its possible for time() to occasionally
return values one second earlier then the previous time() call.
This happens because update_xtime_cache() does:
xtime_cache = xtime;
timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec);
Its possible that xtime is 1sec,999msecs, and nsecs is 1ms, resulting in
a xtime_cache that is 2sec,0ms.
get_seconds() (which is used by sys_time()) does not take the
xtime_lock, which is ok as the xtime.tv_sec value is a long and can be
atomically read safely.
The problem occurs the next call to update_xtime_cache() if xtime has
not increased:
/* This sets xtime_cache back to 1sec, 999msec */
xtime_cache = xtime;
/* get_seconds, calls here, and sees a 1second inconsistency */
timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec);
In order to resolve this, we could add locking to get_seconds(), but it
needs to be lock free, as it is called from the machine check handler,
opening a possible deadlock.
So instead, this patch introduces an intermediate value for the
calculations, so that we only assign xtime_cache once with the correct
time, using ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the compiler doesn't optimize out
any intermediate values.
The xtime_cache manipulations were removed with 2.6.35, so that kernel
and later do not need this change.
In 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the logarithmic accumulation should make it so
xtime is updated each tick, so it is unlikely that two updates to
xtime_cache could occur while the difference between xtime and
xtime_cache crosses the second boundary. However, the paranoid might
want to pull this into 2.6.33/34-longterm just to be sure.
Thanks to Stephen for helping finally narrow down the root cause and
many hours of help with testing and validation. Also thanks to Max,
Andi, Eric and Paul for review of earlier attempts and helping clarify
what is possible with regard to out of order execution.

If preempted after kvmclock values are updated, but before hardware
virtualization is entered, the last tsc time as read by the guest is
never set. It underflows the next time kvmclock is updated if there
has not yet been a successful entry / exit into hardware virt.
Fix this by simply setting last_tsc to the newly read tsc value so
that any computed nsec advance of kvmclock is nulled.
Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower
than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the
apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled
rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have
a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled tsc) than the value to which we are
setting it (kernel_ns + 0).
We must instead compute the clock as potentially observed by the guest
for kernel_ns to make sure it does not go backwards.

ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to be contained in a
single page; otherwise, it ends up overrunning the first page. This
is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller
than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for
each sector is always contained in a single page.
This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed
as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of
udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the
problem and causing oops.
This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to
ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to
sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still
possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which
case the alignment wouldn't be enough.

This patch fixes UDP socket refcnt bugs in the pppol2tp driver.
A bug can cause a kernel stack trace when a tunnel socket is closed.
A way to reproduce the issue is to prepare the UDP socket for L2TP (by
opening a tunnel pppol2tp socket) and then close it before any L2TP
sessions are added to it. The sequence is
Create UDP socket
Create tunnel pppol2tp socket to prepare UDP socket for L2TP
pppol2tp_connect: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0
L2TP SCCRP control frame received (tunnel_id==0)
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold()
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put
L2TP ZLB control frame received (tunnel_id=nnn)
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold()
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put
Close tunnel management socket
pppol2tp_release: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0
Close UDP socket
udp_lib_close: BUG
The addition of sock_hold() in pppol2tp_connect() solves the problem.
For data frames, two sock_put() calls were added to plug a refcnt leak
per received data frame. The ref that is grabbed at the top of
pppol2tp_recv_core() must always be released, but this wasn't done for
accepted data frames or data frames discarded because of bad UDP
checksums. This leak meant that any UDP socket that had passed L2TP
data traffic (i.e. L2TP data frames, not just L2TP control frames)
using pppol2tp would not be released by the kernel.

Except sometimes, the physical address is actually written back to the
_real_ GTT, not the shadow GTT. Thus we start to see faults when that
physical address is fed through translation again.

Resulted from bonding driver registering packet handlers via dev_add_pack and
then trying to call pskb_may_pull. If another packet handler (like for AF_PACKET
sockets) gets called first, the delivered skb will have a user count > 1, which
causes pskb_may_pull to BUG halt when it does its skb_shared check. Fix this by
calling skb_share_check prior to the may_pull call sites in the bonding driver
to clone the skb when needed. Tested by myself and the reported successfully.

Ilya reported that on a very slow machine he could reliably
reproduce a race between forking init and kthreadd. We first
fork init so that it obtains pid-1, however since the scheduler
is already fully running at this point it can preempt and run
the init thread before we spawn and set kthreadd_task.
The init thread can then attempt spawning kthreads without
kthreadd being present which results in an OOPS.
Vegard Nossum found a unix socket OOM was possible, posting an exploit
program.
My analysis is we can eat all LOWMEM memory before unix_gc() being
called from unix_release_sock(). Moreover, the thread blocked in
unix_gc() can consume huge amount of time to perform cleanup because of
huge working set.
One way to handle this is to have a sensible limit on unix_tot_inflight,
tested from wait_for_unix_gc() and to force a call to unix_gc() if this
limit is hit.
This solves the OOM and also reduce overall latencies, and should not
slowdown normal workloads.

Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an

This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.
Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.
Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.
Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.

Several users report issues with 32-bit adapters when plugged
into PCI slots in machines with >= 4GB ram. In particular AMD
systems with HyperTransport to PCI bridges seem to trigger the
issue, but it isn't limited to only them.
This issue is not easily reproducible here, yet still continues
to occur in the field. For e1000 on PCI devices, just disable DMA
addresses over the 4GB boundary when in PCI (not PCI-X) mode, to
prevent the issue from continuing to pop up. The performance
impact for this is negligible.
The code was refactored to move the init of the hw struct to its
own function. This allows the init to be called very early in
probe, which then allows using hw-> members for this fix.
A slight refactor to the DMA mask code was done for minor
correctness based on the instructions in DMA-API-HOWTO.

If you don't use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, as soon as you attempt to
suspend, the card will be removed, therefore this patch doesn't change the
behavior of this option.
However the removal will be done by pm notifier, which runs while
userspace is still not frozen and thus can freely use del_gendisk, without
the risk of deadlock which would happen otherwise.
Card detect workqueue is now disabled while userspace is frozen, Therefore
if you do use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, and remove the card during
suspend, the removal will be detected as soon as userspace is unfrozen,
again at the moment it is safe to call del_gendisk.
Tested with and without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME with suspend and hibernate.

on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.)
If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked against us,
since they're both in binutils-static in the buildroot.

So we test that and use /dev/null in environments where it
works, while using an .INTERMEDIATE file on those where it can't
be used, so that the .perf.dev.null file can be used instead and
then deleted when make exits.

It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
the on-disk partition structure.
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data
from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF
partitions.
In more detail:
for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {
iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from
the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an
array of at most 8 d_partitions.
Add the proper and obvious validation.
