Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change.
This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).
This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state
0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been
received). Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck
afterwards.
I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load
situations most probably caused by interference or noise.
A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition.
This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same
is done for other NACK states as well.
Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another
START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested,
I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help
as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

When fetching DDC using i2c algo bit, we were often seeing timeouts
before getting valid EDID on a retry. The VESA spec states 2ms is the
DDC timeout, so when this translates into 1 jiffie and we are close

2ms.

Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.
It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.
So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).
This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.
This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.
If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t. This patches
add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
up.
This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
member devices that are larger than 2TB.
When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this
can sometimes fail.
Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.
This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.

On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.
Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.
On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.
This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed
regions.
tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

This patch (as1229-1) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the
usb-serial driver. The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is
created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is
active.
Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected,
not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated.
Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding
port structure, and the reference should be released when
the file is closed.
serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to
resolve the classic race between open and disconnect.
serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex
and port->mutex at the same time.
Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing
all the other references, in case one of the release routines
needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module.
Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to
deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync(). Also, add a call to
cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine.
Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect().
The only place it really needs to protect is where the
"disconnected" flag is set.
Call the shutdown method from within serial_disconnect()
instead of destroy_serial(), because some subdrivers expect
the port data structures still to be in existence when
their shutdown method runs.

While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.
We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.
The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

This patch adds poisoning and sanity checking to the RX DMA buffers.
This is used for protection against buggy hardware/firmware that raises
RX interrupts without doing an actual DMA transfer.
This mechanism protects against rare "bad packets" (due to uninitialized skb data)
and rare kernel crashes due to uninitialized RX headers.
The poison is selected to not match on valid frames and to be cheap for checking.
The poison check mechanism _might_ trigger incorrectly, if we are voluntarily
receiving frames with bad PLCP headers. However, this is nonfatal, because the
chance of such a match is basically zero and in case it happens it just results
in dropping the packet.
Bad-PLCP RX defaults to off, and you should leave it off unless you want to listen
to the latest news broadcasted by your microwave oven.
This patch also moves the initialization of the RX-header "length" field in front of
the mapping of the DMA buffer. The CPU should not touch the buffer after we mapped it.

The set_blink hook code in the LED subdriver would never manage to get

of this is that the "timer" trigger would not cause the LED to blink

This problem exists since 2.6.26-rc1.
To fix it, switch the deferred LED work handling to use the

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code
This has been backported to 2.6.27.x from commit efbda86098 in Linus' tree.
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.
This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.
Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.
Original comment (Karsten):
On a MSI MS-6702E mainboard, when in rtl8169_init_one() for the first time
after BIOS has run, IntrStatus reads 5 after chip has been reset.
IntrStatus should equal 0 there, so patch changes IntrStatus reset to happen
after chip reset instead of before.
Remark (Francois):
Assuming that the loglevel of the driver is increased above NETIF_MSG_INTR,
the bug reveals itself with a typical "interrupt 0025 in poll" message
at startup. In retrospect, the message should had been read as an hint of
an unexpected hardware state several months ago :o(

Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).
It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).

The g_ether USB gadget driver currently decides whether or not there's a
link to report back for eth_get_link based on if the USB link speed is
set. The USB gadget speed is however often set even before the device is
enumerated. It seems more sensible to only report a "link" if we're
actually connected to a host that wants to talk to us. The patch below
does this for me - tested with the PXA27x UDC driver.

Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
by the result from the first time around the loop. This happens
because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
for the result.
This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.

When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux
cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having
fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege
to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0.
This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask,
restoring the old behavior.

Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb
because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in
uninterruptible sleep (D state).
Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the
load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load
average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization
to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job
scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low
priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose:
the stopped tasks do not count toward system load.
Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is
frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets
users' expectations.
Making the freeing of q->queue dependent on q->pool being set looks
really weird (although it is correct at the moment. But this seems
to be fixable in a much simpler way.
With the benefit that only the error case is slowed down. In both
cases we have a problem if q->queue contains an error value but it's
not -ENOMEM. Apparently this can't happen today, but it doesn't feel
right to assume this will always be true. Maybe it's the right time
to fix this as well.

Memory freeing in iscsi_pool_free() looks wrong to me. Either q->pool
can be NULL and this should be tested before dereferencing it, or it
can't be NULL and it shouldn't be tested at all. As far as I can see,
the only case where q->pool is NULL is on early error in
iscsi_pool_init(). One possible way to fix the bug is thus to not
call iscsi_pool_free() in this case (nothing needs to be freed anyway)
and then we can get rid of the q->pool check.

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():
- task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
- this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
pipe->inode and target inode
- ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
locked first
- __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
- this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
- task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
- this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
already held by task A
- task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
it is already held by task B
- ABBA deadlock
Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.
Commit e1b4b9f ([NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix exponential worst-case
search for loops) introduced a regression in the loop detection algorithm,
causing sporadic incorrectly detected loops.
When a chain has already been visited during the check, it is treated as
having a standard target containing a RETURN verdict directly at the
beginning in order to not check it again. The real target of the first
rule is then incorrectly treated as STANDARD target and checked not to
contain invalid verdicts.
Fix by making sure the rule does actually contain a standard target.

This bug is the cause for the heap corruption Carsten has been chasing

Jordan Hargrave diagnosed a BIOS clobbering %esi in the E820 call.
That particular BIOS has been fixed, but there is a possibility that

(ipv6: Add disable_ipv6 sysctl to disable IPv6 operaion on specific interface)
seems to have introduced a leak of sk_buff's for ipv6 traffic,
at least in some configurations where idev is NULL, or when ipv6
is disabled via sysctl.
The problem is that if the first condition of the if-statement
returns non-NULL, it returns an skb with only one reference,
and when the other conditions apply, execution jumps to the "out"
label, which does not call kfree_skb for it.
To plug this leak, change to use the "drop" label instead.
(this relies on it being ok to call kfree_skb on NULL)
This also allows us to avoid calling rcu_read_unlock here,
and removes the only user of the "out" label.

BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured.
Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs).
This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on
BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved
fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs --
because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync
fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits.
More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when
ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits,
too.
(1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get
suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch
tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that
helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it
myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the
patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110)
(2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems.
On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
(and also duplicates of this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714)
The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n.
The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when
ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When
CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it
needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)).
How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux
shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which
recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible).
This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to
fix (1) and (2).
I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as
suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs.
BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that
Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...

This patch (as1204) adds a software retry mechanism to ehci-hcd. It
gets invoked when the driver encounters transaction errors on an
asynchronous endpoint. On many systems, hardware deficiencies cause
such errors to occur if one device is unplugged while the host is
communicating with another device. With the patch, the failed
transactions are retried and generally succeed the second or third
time through.
This is based on code originally written by Koichiro Saito.

The usbfs driver manages a list of completed asynchronous URBs. But
it is too eager to free the entries on this list: destroy_async() gets
called whenever an interface is unbound or a device is removed, and it
deallocates the outstanding struct async entries for all URBs on that
interface or device. This is wrong; the user program should be able
to reap an URB any time after it has completed, regardless of whether
or not the interface is still bound or the device is still present.
This patch (as1222) moves the code for deallocating the completed list
entries from destroy_async() to usbdev_release(). The outstanding
entries won't be freed until the user program has closed the device
file, thereby eliminating any possibility that the remaining URBs
might still be reaped.
This fixes a bug in which a program can hang in the USBDEVFS_REAPURB
ioctl when the device is unplugged.
