Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection.
The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes
one more character. This one more character was added to the allocated
size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier.
This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the
user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example
a frame line).
When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported.
When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.
Since the complete re-write in 2.6.10, some PowerMacs (At least PowerMac 5500
and PowerMac G3 Beige rev A) with ATI Mach64 chip have suffered from unstable
columns in their framebuffer image. This seems to depend on a value (4) read
from PLL_EXT_CNTL register, which leads to incorrect DSP config parameters to
be written to the chip. This patch uses a value calculated by aty_init_pll_ct
instead, as a starting point.
There are questions as to whether this should be extended to other platforms
or maybe made dependent on specific chip types, but in the meantime, this has
been tested on various powermacs and works for them so let's commit it.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.
Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit

On the Asus Xonar D2 and D2X models, the SPI chip select signal for the
fourth DAC shares its pin with the serial clock for the EEPROM that
contains the PCI subdevice ID values. It appears that when DAC
registers are written and some other unknown conditions occur (probably
noise on the EEPROM's chip select line), the EEPROM gets overwritten
with garbage, which makes it impossible to properly detect the card
later.
Therefore, we better avoid DAC register writes and make sure that the
driver works with the DAC's registers' default values. Consequently,
the sample format is now I2S instead of left-justified (no user-visible
change), and the DAC's volume/mute registers cannot be used anymore
(volume changes are now done by the software volume plugin).
If the bte copy fails, the attempt to retrieve payloads merely returns a
null pointer deref and not NULL as was expected.

This patch (as1198) fixes a conceptual bug: Somewhere along the line
we managed to confuse USB class devices with USB char devices. As a
result, the code to send a disconnect signal to userspace would not be
built if both CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS and CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS were
disabled.
The usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() routine has been renamed to
usbdev_remove() and it is now called whenever any USB device is
removed, not just when a class device is unregistered. The notifier
registration and unregistration calls are no longer conditionally
compiled. And since the common removal code will always be called as
part of the char device interface, there's no need to call it again as
part of the usbfs interface; thus the invocation of
usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() has been taken out of
usbfs_remove_device().
Despite the fact that cloned rpc clients won't have the cl_autobind flag
set, they may still find themselves calling rpcb_getport_async(). For this
to happen, it suffices for a _parent_ rpc_clnt to use autobinding, in which
case any clone may find itself triggering the !xprt_bound() case in
call_bind().
The correct fix for this is to walk back up the tree of cloned rpc clients,
in order to find the parent that 'owns' the transport, either because it
has clnt->cl_autobind set, or because it originally created the
transport...

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.
Some sysfs binary files don't like having 0 passed to them as a size.
Fix this up at the root by just returning to the vfs if userspace asks
us for a zero sized buffer.

If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.
The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:

Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD. The primary motiviation is the design of my
anti-starvation code for fsync. It requires taking an inode lock over the
sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple
inodes. It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering
problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync
multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address.
Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted
anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can
be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback. In order to
satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish
writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it.
It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose.
But why complicate things by prematurely optimise? For unmounting, we
could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but
again premature IMO.
Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next.

Direct IO can invalidate and sync a lot of pagecache pages in the mapping.
A 4K direct IO will actually try to sync and/or invalidate the pagecache
of the entire file, for example (which might be many GB or TB large).
Improve this by doing range syncs. Also, memory no longer has to be
unmapped to catch the dirty bits for syncing, as dirty bits would remain
coherent due to dirty mmap accounting.
This fixes the immediate DM deadlocks when doing direct IO reads to block
device with a mounted filesystem, if only by papering over the problem
somewhat rather than addressing the fsync starvation cases.

In write_cache_pages, if we get stuck behind another process that is
cleaning pages, we will be forced to wait for them to finish, then perform
our own writeout (if it was redirtied during the long wait), then wait for
that.
If a page under writeout is still clean, we can skip waiting for it (if
we're part of a data integrity sync, we'll be waiting for all writeout
pages afterwards, so we'll still be waiting for the other guy's write
that's cleaned the page).

In write_cache_pages, nr_to_write is heeded even for data-integrity syncs,
so the function will return success after writing out nr_to_write pages,
even if that was not sufficient to guarantee data integrity.
The callers tend to set it to values that could break data interity
semantics easily in practice. For example, nr_to_write can be set to
mapping->nr_pages * 2, however if a file has a single, dirty page, then
fsync is called, subsequent pages might be concurrently added and dirtied,
then write_cache_pages might writeout two of these newly dirty pages,
while not writing out the old page that should have been written out.
Fix this by ignoring nr_to_write if it is a data integrity sync.
This is a data integrity bug.
The reason this has been done in the past is to avoid stalling sync
operations behind page dirtiers.
"If a file has one dirty page at offset 1000000000000000 then someone
does an fsync() and someone else gets in first and starts madly writing
pages at offset 0, we want to write that page at 1000000000000000.
Somehow."
What we do today is return success after an arbitrary amount of pages are
written, whether or not we have provided the data-integrity semantics that
the caller has asked for. Even this doesn't actually fix all stall cases
completely: in the above situation, if the file has a huge number of pages
in pagecache (but not dirty), then mapping->nrpages is going to be huge,
even if pages are being dirtied.
This change does indeed make the possibility of long stalls lager, and
that's not a good thing, but lying about data integrity is even worse. We
have to either perform the sync, or return -ELINUXISLAME so at least the
caller knows what has happened.
There are subsequent competing approaches in the works to solve the stall
problems properly, without compromising data integrity.

In write_cache_pages, if ret signals a real error, but we still have some
pages left in the pagevec, done would be set to 1, but the remaining pages
would continue to be processed and ret will be overwritten in the process.
It could easily be overwritten with success, and thus success will be
returned even if there is an error. Thus the caller is told all writes
succeeded, wheras in reality some did not.
Fix this by bailing immediately if there is an error, and retaining the
first error code.

page in the pagevec lookup for cyclic writeback. This is a problem if we
don't process all pages up to the final page.
Currently the code mostly keeps writeback_index reasonable and hacked
around this by not breaking out of the loop or writing pages outside the
range in these cases. Keep track of a real "done index" that enables us
to terminate the loop in a much more flexible manner.
Needed by the subsequent patch to preserve writepage errors, and then
further patches to break out of the loop early for other reasons. However
there are no functional changes with this patch alone.

In write_cache_pages, scanned == 1 is supposed to mean that cyclic
writeback has circled through zero, thus we should not circle again.
However it gets set to 1 after the first successful pagevec lookup. This
leads to cases where not enough data gets written.
Counterexample: file with first 10 pages dirty, writeback_index == 5,
nr_to_write == 10. Then the 5 last pages will be found, and scanned will
be set to 1, after writing those out, we will not cycle back to get the
first 5.
Rework this logic, now we'll always cycle unless we started off from index
0. When cycling, only write out as far as 1 page before the start page
from the first cycle (so we don't write parts of the file twice).

To keep the raw monotonic patch simple first introduce
clocksource_forward_now(), which takes care of the offset since the last
update_wall_time() call and adds it to the clock, so there is no need
anymore to deal with it explicitly at various places, which need to make
significant changes to the clock.
This is also gets rid of the timekeeping_suspend_nsecs, instead of
waiting until resume, the value is accumulated during suspend. In the end
there is only a single user of __get_nsec_offset() left, so I integrated
it back to getnstimeofday().

After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).
The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.

David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use. This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.
He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().
But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.
There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.
There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions. I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.

This patch (as1194c) makes usb-storage set the CAPACITY_HEURISTICS flag
for all devices made by Nokia, Nikon, or Motorola. These companies
seem to include the READ CAPACITY bug in all of their devices.
Since cell phones and digital cameras rely on flash storage, which
always has an even number of sectors, setting CAPACITY_HEURISTICS
shouldn't cause any problems. Not even if the companies wise up and
start making devices without the bug.
A large number of unusual_devs entries are now unnecessary, so the
patch removes them.

This patch (as1189d) adds some hacks to usb-storage for dealing with
the growing problems involving bad capacity values and last-sector
accesses:
A new flag, US_FL_CAPACITY_OK, is created to indicate that
the device is known to report its capacity correctly. An
unusual_devs entry for Linux's own File-backed Storage Gadget
is added with this flag set, since g_file_storage always
reports the correct capacity and since the capacity need
not be even (it is determined by the size of the backing
file).
An entry in unusual_devs.h which has only the CAPACITY_OK
flag set shouldn't prejudice libusual, since the device will
work perfectly well with either usb-storage or ub. So a
new macro, COMPLIANT_DEV, is added to let libusual know
about these entries.
When a last-sector access fails three times in a row and
neither the FIX_CAPACITY nor the CAPACITY_OK flag is set,
we assume the last-sector bug is present. We replace the
existing status and sense data with values that will cause
the SCSI core to fail the access immediately rather than
retry indefinitely. This should fix the difficulties
people have been having with Nokia phones.
This version of the patch differs from the version accepted into the
mainline only in that it does not trigger a WARN() when an
odd-numbered last-sector access succeeds. In a stable kernel series
we don't want to go around spamming users' logs and consoles for no
good reason.

Since interrupts will soon be disabled at PCI resume time, we need to
pre-allocate memory to save/restore PCI config space (or use GFP_ATOMIC,
but this is safer).
I don't see why the suspend and resume of PCI Express ports should be
handled with interrupts enabled and it may even lead to problems in
some situations. For this reason, move the suspending and resuming
of PCI Express ports into ->suspend_late() and ->resume_early()
callbacks executed with interrupts disabled.

Rework the handling of suspend and resume of PCI devices which have
no drivers or the drivers of which do not provide any suspend-resume
callbacks in such a way that their standard PCI configuration
registers will be saved and restored with interrupts disabled. This
should prevent such devices, including PCI bridges, from being
resumed too late to be able to function correctly during the resume
of the other PCI devices that may depend on them.
Also, to remove one possible source of future confusion, drop the
default handling of suspend and resume for PCI devices with drivers
providing the 'pm' object introduced by the new suspend-resume
framework (there are no such PCI drivers at the moment).

Don't use large pages for kernel identity mapping with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
This will remove the need to split the large page for the
allocated kernel page in the interrupt context.
This will simplify cpa code(as we don't do the split any more from the
interrupt context). cpa code simplication in the subsequent patches.
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager
(CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor.
Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request,
which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel,
the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the
previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM
driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a
negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned
value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too
large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the
kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel.
This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.

aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.
The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.
More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().
I increased the delay step by step until loading of mvsas
reliably detected the drive 200 times in sequence. A much better
approach would be to monitor the hardware for some flag which
indicates that port detection has finished, but I do not have any
hardware documentation.

An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
the gang lookup functions.
This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.
Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.

This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we
have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference
to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is
freed, then reallocated as a compound page).
It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but
it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can
put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.
While doing various error injection testing, such as cable
pulls and target moves, some issues were observed in handling
these events. This patch improves the way these events are handled
by increasing the delay waiting for the fabric to settle and also
changes the behavior of Link Up to break the CRQ to ensure everything
gets cleaned up properly on the VIOS.
