mmc: wbsd: initialize tasklets before requesting interrupt

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ set we will get an interrupt as soon as we
allocate one.  Tasklets may be scheduled in the interrupt handler but they
will be initialized after the handler returns, causing a BUG() in
kernel/softirq.c when they run.

Should fix this Fedora bug report:

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

This looks relevant:

16 years agox86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6
Henry Nestler [Mon, 12 May 2008 13:44:39 +0000 (15:44 +0200)]
x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6

Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.

Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.

All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.

Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.

Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:

Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540

Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.

In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320

The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332

"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282

No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.

This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...

In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

Paul Mundt [Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:29:55 +0000 (16:29 +0900)]
nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.

This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring
introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03670c7a544a56d441eb1a6cc800d72b.

As Christoph points out:

virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also
does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to
figure out if a page is valid.  Otherwise the page struct
reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set
to indicate that it is not a valid page.

As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable
way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing
up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the
hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d07f15b267eecb20e76a48fd5c524ef on
the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in
kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre
memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin
decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved
for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work
fine.

It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for
non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just
use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

# echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares
# echo $$ > sub/tasks
oops here! divide by zero.

This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits,
but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64.

Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the
shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more
expensive divide.

Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large":

pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0
pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2

if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000
then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0%

if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000
then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100%

And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited
to a smaller value.

I think that (1UL << 18) is a good limited value:

1) it's not too large, we can create a lot of group before overflow
2) it's several times the weight value for nice=-19 (not too small)

common implementation of iterative div/mod

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.

The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.

This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

PNPACPI: use _CRS IRQ descriptor length for _SRS

When configuring the resources of an ACPI device, we first evaluate _CRS
to get a template of resource descriptors, then fill in the specific
resource values we want, and finally evaluate _SRS to actually configure
the device.

Some resources have optional fields, so the size of encoded descriptors
varies depending on the specific values.  For example, IRQ descriptors can
be either two or three bytes long.  The third byte contains triggering
information and can be omitted if the IRQ is edge-triggered and active
high.

The BIOS often assumes that IRQ descriptors in the _SRS buffer use the
same format as those in the _CRS buffer, so this patch enforces that
constraint.

The "Start Dependent Function" descriptor also has an optional byte, but
we don't currently encode those descriptors, so I didn't do anything for
those.

I have tested this patch on a Toshiba Portege 4000.  Without the patch,
parport_pc claims the parallel port only if I use "pnpacpi=off".  This

Fix the bug by refactoring the entire code to be far more obvious on what
it wants to do.  Also do some defensive "constification".

Issue reported by Karol Lewandowski <lmctlx@gmail.com> (he's an lucky guy
and got an OOPS instead of silent corruption :-) ).

Root cause of the OOPS identified by Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>.

cpuidle acpi driver: fix oops on AC<->DC

cpuidle and acpi driver interaction bug with the way cpuidle_register_driver()
is called. Due to this bug, there will be oops on
AC<->DC on some systems, where they support C-states in one DC and not in AC.

The current code does
ON BOOT:
Look at CST and other C-state info to see whether more than C1 is
supported. If it is, then acpi processor_idle does a
cpuidle_register_driver() call, which internally enables the device.

ON CST change notification (AC<->DC) and on suspend-resume:
acpi driver temporarily disables device, updates the device with
any new C-states, and reenables the device.

The problem is is on boot, there are no C2, C3 states supported and we skip
the register. Later on AC<->DC, we may get a CST notification and we try
to reevaluate CST and enabled the device, without actually registering it.
This causes breakage as we try to create /sys fs sub directory, without the
parent directory which is created at register time.

pppoe: Unshare skb before anything else

We need to unshare the skb first as otherwise pskb_may_pull may
write to a shared skb which could be bad.

16 years agonet pppoe: Check packet length on all receive paths

net pppoe: Check packet length on all receive paths

The length field in the PPPOE header wasn't checked completely.
This patch causes all packets shorter than the declared length
to be dropped.

It also changes the memcpy_toiovec call to skb_copy_datagram_iovec
so that paged packets (rare for PPPOE) are handled properly.

Thanks to Ilja of the Netric Security Team for discovering and
reporting this bug, and Chris Wright for the total_len check.
