This patch (as1480) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. The
qh_update() routine needs to know the number and direction of the
endpoint corresponding to its QH argument. The number can be taken
directly from the QH data structure, but the direction isn't stored
there. The direction is taken instead from the first qTD linked to
the QH.
However, it turns out that for interrupt transfers, qh_update() gets
called before the qTDs are linked to the QH. As a result, qh_update()
computes a bogus direction value, which messes up the endpoint toggle
handling. Under the right combination of circumstances this causes
usb_reset_endpoint() not to work correctly, which causes packets to be
dropped and communications to fail.
Now, it's silly for the QH structure not to have direct access to all
the descriptor information for the corresponding endpoint. Ultimately
it may get a pointer to the usb_host_endpoint structure; for now,
adding a copy of the direction flag solves the immediate problem.
This allows the Spyder2 color-calibration system (a low-speed USB
device that sends all its interrupt data packets with the toggle set
to 0 and hance requires constant use of usb_reset_endpoint) to work
when connected through a high-speed hub. Thanks to Graeme Gill for
supplying the hardware that allowed me to track down this bug.
MAX4967 USB power supply chip we use on our boards signals over-current when
power is not enabled; once it's enabled, over-current signal returns to normal.
That unfortunately caused the endless stream of "over-current change on port"
messages. The EHCI root hub code reacts on every over-current signal change
with powering off the port -- such change event is generated the moment the
port power is enabled, so once enabled the power is immediately cut off.
I think we should only cut off power when we're seeing the active over-current
signal, so I'm adding such check to that code. I also think that the fact that
we've cut off the port power should be reflected in the result of GetPortStatus
request immediately, hence I'm adding a PORTSCn register readback after write...

After commit 3262c816a3d7fb1eaabce633caa317887ed549ae "[PATCH] knfsd:

was on, noting that there was no point since the whole list was about to

That was mostly true, but forgot that a few svc_xprt_enqueue()'s might

could get themselves into trouble writing to freed memory if we left
this xprt on the list after freeing it.

Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and
ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized
because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and
ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from
writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent
allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered
or reservation structure corruption can occur.
Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize
allocations.

As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs
which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc. all visible to the system.
So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people
expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies. Without them, the
module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the
details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to
look.
This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig.

In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.
Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.
But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that
causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the
OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages.
First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type
PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer
is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to
buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit
signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided
here, bad things can happen. For example,
pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size,
which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size.
The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an
overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be
smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the
subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of
pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked.
It looks like preventing this value from being negative in
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient.

[ hpa: this was deferred because we believed for a long time that the

Unfortunately that turned out to be incorrect. ]
To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.
Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.
Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is
reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread.

What is supposed to happen:
* bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B)
* C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state
What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as
root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU
doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that
the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state.
The root cause of this is that the configuration messages
is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before
sending.
In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be:
the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by
the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU.
Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when
recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time
elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

The subdevs are supposed to receive a valid tuner type for the g_frequency
and g/s_tuner subdev ops. Some drivers do this, others don't. So prefill
this in v4l2-ioctl.c based on whether the device node from which this is
called is a radio node or not.
The spec does not require applications to fill in the type, and if they
leave it at 0 then the 'check_mode' call in tuner-core.c will return
an error and the ioctl does nothing.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]

However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will
goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the

udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call:
But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared
from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value
of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be:

There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to
attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the
BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if
count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get
to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case,
if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than
alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal.
Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is
an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number
that is used as the number of pages to free.
Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater
than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it.

can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by

This patch (as1465) continues implementation of the policy that errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep.
In this case, failure to turn on the Suspend feature for a hub port
shouldn't be reported as an error. There are situations where this
does actually occur (such as when the device plugged into that port
was disconnected in the recent past), and it turns out to be harmless.
There's no reason for it to prevent a system sleep.
Also, don't allow the hub driver to fail a system suspend if the
downstream ports aren't all suspended. This is also harmless (and
should never happen, given the change mentioned above); printing a
warning message in the kernel log is all we really need to do.

This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB
device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding:
Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will
automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying
packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not
worry about them now.)
Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the
system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system
from going to sleep.

Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.
Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.
The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.
One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
lead to a deadlock.

If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.
We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any
kernel since then.
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold
the lock protecting it around it.
This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq
io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long
time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed
to see it a lot.
Order of initialization look like this:
...
debugobjects
kmemleak
...(lots of other subsystems)...
workqueues (through early initcall)
...
debugobjects use schedule_work for batch freeing of its data and kmemleak
heavily use debugobjects, so when it comes to freeing and workqueues were
not initialized yet, kernel crashes:
When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.
The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()
What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:
A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.
Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.
Impact of this bug:
When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.
Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

While trying to switch a UAS device from the BOT configuration to the UAS
configuration via the bConfigurationValue file, Tanya ran into an issue in
the USB core. usb_disable_device() sets entries in udev->ep_out and
udev->ep_out to NULL, but doesn't call into the xHCI bandwidth management
functions to remove the BOT configuration endpoints from the xHCI host's
internal structures.
The USB core would then attempt to add endpoints for the UAS
configuration, and some of the endpoints had the same address as endpoints
in the BOT configuration. The xHCI driver blindly added the endpoints
again, but the xHCI host controller rejected the Configure Endpoint
command because active endpoints were added without being dropped.
Make the xHCI driver reject calls to xhci_add_endpoint() that attempt to
add active endpoints without first calling xhci_drop_endpoint().
This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31.
We restored tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5c (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle). We used it in the ldisc changing path to fix the
case where there are tasks in n_tty_read waiting for data and somebody
tries to change ldisc.
Similar to the case above, there may be also tasks waiting in
n_tty_read while hangup is performed. As 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn
ldisc user count into a proper refcount) removed the wait-until-idle
from all paths, hangup path won't wait for them to disappear either
now. So add it back even to the hangup path.
There is a difference, we need uninterruptible sleep as there is
obviously HUP signal pending. So tty_ldisc_wait_idle now sleeps
without possibility to be interrupted. This is what original
tty_ldisc_wait_idle did. After the wait idle reintroduction
(100eeae2c5c), we have had interruptible sleeps for the ldisc changing
path. But as there is a 5s timeout anyway, we don't allow it to be
interrupted from now on. It's not worth the added complexity of
deciding what kind of sleep we want.
Before 65b770468e98 tty_ldisc_release was called also from
tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think we
need to restore that one.
This is nicely reproducible after constifying the timing when
drivers/tty/n_tty.c is patched as follows ("TTY: ntty, add one more

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been
observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC.
The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt
handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the
TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the
unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled
region to avoid that.

We only need to set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped on x86_64 to
make sure that cleanup_highmap doesn't remove important mappings at
_end.
We don't need to do this on x86_32 because cleanup_highmap is not called
on x86_32. Besides lowering max_pfn_mapped on x86_32 has the unwanted
side effect of limiting the amount of memory available for the 1:1
kernel pagetable allocation.
This patch reverts the x86_32 part of the original patch.
Andrea Righi reported a case where an exiting task can race against
ksmd::scan_get_next_rmap_item (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/1/742) easily
triggering a NULL pointer dereference in ksmd.
ksm_scan.mm_slot == &ksm_mm_head with only one registered mm
CPU 1 (__ksm_exit) CPU 2 (scan_get_next_rmap_item)
list_empty() is false
lock slot == &ksm_mm_head
list_del(slot->mm_list)
(list now empty)
unlock
lock
slot = list_entry(slot->mm_list.next)
(list is empty, so slot is still ksm_mm_head)
unlock
slot->mm == NULL ... Oops
Close this race by revalidating that the new slot is not simply the list
head again.
It turns out this is not what we want to have happen for the .32 and

When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

The old IDE cmd64x checks the status of the CNTRL register to see if
the ports are enabled before probing them. pata_cmd64x doesn't do
this, which causes a HPMC on parisc when it tries to poke at the
secondary port because apparently the BAR isn't wired up (and a
non-responding piece of memory causes a HPMC).
Fix this by porting the CNTRL register port detection logic from IDE
cmd64x. In addition, following converns from Alan Cox, add a check to
see if a mobility electronics bridge is the immediate parent and forgo
the check if it is (prevents problems on hotplug controllers).

Full-speed isoc endpoints specify interval in exponent based form in
frames, not microframes, so we need to adjust accordingly.
NEC xHCI host controllers will return an error code of 0x11 if a full
speed isochronous endpoint is added with the Interval field set to
something less than 3 (2^3 = 8 microframes, or one frame). It is
impossible for a full speed device to have an interval smaller than one
frame.
This was always an issue in the xHCI driver, but commit dfa49c4ad120a784ef1ff0717168aa79f55a483a "USB: xhci - fix math in
xhci_get_endpoint_interval()" removed the clamping of the minimum value
in the Interval field, which revealed this bug.

Protocol stall should not be fatal while reading port or hub status as it is

Some PCIe cards ship with a PCI-PCIe bridge which is not
visible as a PCI device in Linux. But the device-id of the
bridge is present in the IOMMU tables which causes a boot
crash in the IOMMU driver.
This patch fixes by removing these cards from the IOMMU
handling. This is a pure -stable fix, a real fix to handle
this situation appriatly will follow for the next merge
window.
The driver contains several loops counting on an u16 value
where the exit-condition is checked against variables that
can have values up to 0xffff. In this case the loops will
never exit. This patch fixed 3 such loops.
Unfortunatly there are systems where the AMD IOMMU does not
cover all devices. This breaks with the current driver as it
initializes the global dma_ops variable. This patch limits
the AMD IOMMU to the devices listed in the IVRS table fixing
DMA for devices not covered by the IOMMU.
On my x86_64 system with >4GB of ram and swiotlb instead of
a hardware iommu (because I have a VIA chipset), the call
to pci_set_dma_mask (see below) with 40bits returns an error.
But it seems that the radeon driver is designed to have
need_dma32 = true exactly if pci_set_dma_mask is called
with 32 bits and false if it is called with 40 bits.
I have read somewhere that the default are 32 bits. So if the
call fails I suppose that need_dma32 should be set to true.
And indeed the patch fixes the problem I have had before
and which I had described here:
