Due to a race it was possible for a fence to be destroyed while another
thread was trying to synchronise with it. If this happened in the fallback
non-semaphore path, it lead to the following oops due to fence->channel
being NULL.
The value of this register is transferred to the V_COUNTER register at the
beginning of vertical blank. V_COUNTER is the reference for VLINE waits and
goes from VIEWPORT_Y_START to VIEWPORT_Y_START+VIEWPORT_HEIGHT during scanout,
so if VIEWPORT_Y_START is not 0, V_COUNTER actually went backwards at the
beginning of vertical blank, and VLINE waits excluding the whole scanout area
could never finish (possibly only if VIEWPORT_Y_START is larger than the length
of vertical blank in scanlines). Setting DESKTOP_HEIGHT to the framebuffer
height should prevent this for any kind of VLINE wait.
When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone
which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating
when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally
not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on
an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported
against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.
The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond
the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to
migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks
pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are
not necessarily valid struct pages.
This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when
necessary.

Fix a race condition that shows in conjunction with xip_file_fault() when
two threads of the same user process fault on the same memory page.
In this case, the race winner will install the page table entry and the
unlucky loser will cause an oops: xip_file_fault calls vm_insert_pfn (via
vm_insert_mixed) which drops out at this check:
retval = -EBUSY;
if (!pte_none(*pte))
goto out_unlock;
The resulting -EBUSY return value will trigger a BUG_ON() in
xip_file_fault.
This fix simply considers the fault as fixed in this case, because the
race winner has successfully installed the pte.

commit 463894705e4089d0ff69e7d877312d496ac70e5b deleted redundant
chan_id and chancnt initialization in dma drivers as this is done
in dma_async_device_register().
However, atc_enable_irq() relied on chan_id set before registering
the device, what left only channel 0 functional for this driver.
This patch introduces atc_enable/disable_chan_irq() as a variant
of atc_enable/disable_irq() with the channel as explicit argument.
In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance
object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero.
This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted.
This issue can be reproduced by changing
samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix
is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back
onto the free_instances list.

In the current code, vendor-specific MADs (e.g with the FDR-10

at the sending side and inability to query/configure the relevant

For unsupported attributes, the firmware returns a GET_RESPONSE MAD
containing an error status.
For example, for a FDR-10 node with LID 11:

Once /proc/pid/mem is opened, the memory can't be released until
mem_release() even if its owner exits.
Change mem_open() to do atomic_inc(mm_count) + mmput(), this only
pins mm_struct. Change mem_rw() to do atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_count)
before access_remote_vm(), this verifies that this mm is still alive.
I am not sure what should mem_rw() return if atomic_inc_not_zero()
fails. With this patch it returns zero to match the "mm == NULL" case,
may be it should return -EINVAL like it did before e268337d.
Perhaps it makes sense to add the additional fatal_signal_pending()

the target task was oom-killed.

In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the
hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is
being read and modified. This leads to a race condition which can
cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context
save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate
is read and the time the modified state is written back.
This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a
ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread.
Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios --
none has been reported, so far as I am aware. Only uniprocessor
systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently
lazy in SMP kernels.
The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use
regsets to implement ptrace.
This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading
thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not
live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.
Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP
context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying
from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then
flushing the new data out to the hardware registers.
This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be
context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current
thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP
notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct,
overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code.
Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so
instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the
vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the
effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer,
therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on
the next context switch.

Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39. The test
is a simple dd read, but with big block size. The reason is:
T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k)
T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k
T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted
because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k
because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory
T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't
submitted again.
T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is
waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish.
There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks.
We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered
I/O. The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O
should be submitted. Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression.
One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k
without it. This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we
need plug here.
Vivek said:

Right now we forcibly clear ASPM state on all devices if the BIOS indicates
that the feature isn't supported. Based on the Microsoft presentation
"PCI Express In Depth for Windows Vista and Beyond", I'm starting to think
that this may be an error. The implication is that unless the platform
grants full control via _OSC, Windows will not touch any PCIe features -
including ASPM. In that case clearing ASPM state would be an error unless
the platform has granted us that control.
This patch reworks the ASPM disabling code such that the actual clearing
of state is triggered by a successful handoff of PCIe control to the OS.
The general ASPM code undergoes some changes in order to ensure that the
ability to clear the bits isn't overridden by ASPM having already been
disabled. Further, this theoretically now allows for situations where
only a subset of PCIe roots hand over control, leaving the others in the
BIOS state.
It's difficult to know for sure that this is the right thing to do -
there's zero public documentation on the interaction between all of these
components. But enough vendors enable ASPM on platforms and then set this
bit that it seems likely that they're expecting the OS to leave them alone.
Measured to save around 5W on an idle Thinkpad X220.
This fix changes the way baudrates are set on the CP210x devices from
Silicon Labs. The CP2101/2/3 will respond to both a GET/SET_BAUDDIV
command, and GET/SET_BAUDRATE command, while CP2104 and higher devices
only respond to GET/SET_BAUDRATE. The current cp210x.ko driver in
kernel version 3.2.0 only implements the GET/SET_BAUDDIV command.
This patch implements the two new codes for the GET/SET_BAUDRATE
commands. Then there is a change in the way that the baudrate is
assigned or retrieved. This is done according to the CP210x USB
specification in AN571. This document can be found here:
http://www.silabs.com/pages/DownloadDoc.aspx?FILEURL=Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN571.pdf&src=DocumentationWebPart
Sections 5.3/5.4 describe the USB packets for the old baudrate method.
Sections 5.5/5.6 describe the USB packets for the new method. This
patch also implements the new request scheme, and eliminates the
unnecessary baudrate calculations since it uses the "actual baudrate"
method.
This patch solves the problem reported for the CP2104 in bug 42586,
and also keeps support for all other devices (CP2101/2/3).
This patchfile is also attached to the bug report on
bugzilla.kernel.org. This patch has been developed and test on the
3.2.0 mainline kernel version under Ubuntu 10.11.

This commit fixes tcp_trim_head() to recalculate the number of
segments in the skb with the skb's existing MSS, so trimming the head
causes the skb segment count to be monotonically non-increasing - it
should stay the same or go down, but not increase.
Previously tcp_trim_head() used the current MSS of the connection. But
if there was a decrease in MSS between original transmission and ACK
(e.g. due to PMTUD), this could cause tcp_trim_head() to
counter-intuitively increase the segment count when trimming bytes off
the head of an skb. This violated assumptions in tcp_tso_acked() that
tcp_trim_head() only decreases the packet count, so that packets_acked
in tcp_tso_acked() could underflow, leading tcp_clean_rtx_queue() to
pass u32 pkts_acked values as large as 0xffffffff to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().
As an aside, if tcp_trim_head() had really wanted the skb to reflect
the current MSS, it should have called tcp_set_skb_tso_segs()
unconditionally, since a decrease in MSS would mean that a
single-packet skb should now be sliced into multiple segments.

When a packet is received on an L2TP IP socket (L2TPv3 IP link
encapsulation), the l2tpip socket's backlog_rcv function calls
xfrm4_policy_check(). This is not necessary, since it was called
before the skb was added to the backlog. With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled,
xfrm4_policy_check() will oops if skb->dev is null, so this trivial

This bug has always been present, but only when CONFIG_NET_NS is

The probe does not strictly require the USB_CDC_DMM_TYPE
descriptor, which is a good thing as it makes the driver
usable on non-conforming interfaces. A user could e.g.
bind to it to a CDC ECM interface by using the new_id and
bind sysfs files. But this would fail with a 0 buffer length
due to the missing descriptor.
Fix by defining a reasonable fallback size: The minimum
device receive buffer size required by the CDC WMC standard,
revision 1.1
As it turns out, there was a mismatch between the allocated inbuf size
(desc->bMaxPacketSize0, typically something like 64) and the length we
specified in the URB (desc->wMaxCommand, typically something like 2048)
wdm_disconnect() waits for the mutex held by wdm_read() before
calling wake_up_all(). This causes a deadlock, preventing device removal
to complete. Do the wake_up_all() before we start waiting for the locks.
Properly clamp temperature limits set by the user. Without this fix,
attempts to write temperature limits above the maximum supported by
the chip (255 degrees Celsius) would arbitrarily and unexpectedly
result in the limit being set to 0 degree Celsius.
When a TD length mismatch is found during isoc TRB enqueue, it directly
returns -EINVAL. However, isoc transfer is partially enqueued at this time,
and the ring should be cleared.
This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, which contain the
commit 522989a27c7badb608155b1f1dea3487ed431f74 "xhci: Fix failed

The xHCI hub port code gets passed a zero-based port number by the USB
core. It then adds one to in order to find a device slot by port number
and device speed by calling xhci_find_slot_id_by_port. That function
clearly states it requires a one-based port number. The xHCI port
status change event handler was using a zero-based port number that it
got from find_faked_portnum_from_hw_portnum, not a one-based port
number. This lead to the doorbells never being rung for a device after
a resume, or worse, a different device with the same speed having its
doorbell rung (which could lead to bad power management in the xHCI host
controller).
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.39.

Commit 74c2107759d (serial: Use block_til_ready helper) and its fixup 3f582b8c110 (serial: fix termios settings in open) introduced a
regression on UV systems. The serial eventually freezes while being
used. It's completely unpredictable and sometimes needs a heap of
traffic to happen first.
To reproduce this, yast installation was used as it turned out to be
pretty reliable in reproducing. Especially during installation process
where one doesn't have an SSH daemon running. And no monitor as the HW
is completely headless. So this was fun to find. Given the machine
doesn't boot on vanilla before 2.6.36 final. (And the commits above
are older.)
Unless there is some bad race in the code, the hardware seems to be
pretty broken. Otherwise pure MSR read should not cause such a bug,
or?
So to prevent the bug, revert to the old behavior. I.e. read modem
status only if we really have to -- for non-CLOCAL set serials.
Non-CLOCAL works on this hardware OK, I tried. See? I don't.

The refactoring of Realtek codec driver in 3.2 kernel caused a

We've decided to provide CPU family specific container files
(starting with CPU family 15h). E.g. for family 15h we have to
load microcode_amd_fam15h.bin instead of microcode_amd.bin
Rationale is that starting with family 15h patch size is larger
than 2KB which was hard coded as maximum patch size in various
microcode loaders (not just Linux).
Container files which include patches larger than 2KB cause
different kinds of trouble with such old patch loaders. Thus we
have to ensure that the default container file provides only
patches with size less than 2KB.

Multiple users of the function tracer can register their functions
with the ftrace_ops structure. The accounting within ftrace will
update the counter on each function record that is being traced.
When the ftrace_ops filtering adds or removes functions, the
function records will be updated accordingly if the ftrace_ops is
still registered.
When a ftrace_ops is removed, the counter of the function records,
that the ftrace_ops traces, are decremented. When they reach zero
the functions that they represent are modified to stop calling the
mcount code.
When changes are made, the code is updated via stop_machine() with
a command passed to the function to tell it what to do. There is an
ENABLE and DISABLE command that tells the called function to enable
or disable the functions. But the ENABLE is really a misnomer as it
should just update the records, as records that have been enabled
and now have a count of zero should be disabled.
The DISABLE command is used to disable all functions regardless of
their counter values. This is the big off switch and is not the
complement of the ENABLE command.
To make matters worse, when a ftrace_ops is unregistered and there
is another ftrace_ops registered, neither the DISABLE nor the
ENABLE command are set when calling into the stop_machine() function
and the records will not be updated to match their counter. A command
is passed to that function that will update the mcount code to call
the registered callback directly if it is the only one left. This
means that the ftrace_ops that is still registered will have its callback
called by all functions that have been set for it as well as the ftrace_ops
that was just unregistered.
Here's a way to trigger this bug. Compile the kernel with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER set and with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH not set:
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y
# CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH is not set
This will force the function profiler to use the function tracer instead
of the function graph tracer.
The same problem could have happened with the trace_probe_ops,
but they are modified with the set_frace_filter file which does the
update at closure of the file.
The simple solution is to change ENABLE to UPDATE and call it every
time an ftrace_ops is unregistered.
Currently, if set_ftrace_filter() is called when the ftrace_ops is
active, the function filters will not be updated. They will only be updated
when tracing is disabled and re-enabled.
Update the functions immediately during set_ftrace_filter().

Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts
must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set
in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set
in the updated hash.
Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the
hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace
triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter
is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure
happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered.
The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will.

For rounds 16--79, W[i] only depends on W[i - 2], W[i - 7], W[i - 15] and W[i - 16].
Consequently, keeping all W[80] array on stack is unnecessary,
only 16 values are really needed.
Using W[16] instead of W[80] greatly reduces stack usage
(~750 bytes to ~340 bytes on x86_64).
Line by line explanation:
* BLEND_OP
array is "circular" now, all indexes have to be modulo 16.
Round number is positive, so remainder operation should be
without surprises.
* initial full message scheduling is trimmed to first 16 values which
come from data block, the rest is calculated before it's needed.
* original loop body is unrolled version of new SHA512_0_15 and
SHA512_16_79 macros, unrolling was done to not do explicit variable
renaming. Otherwise it's the very same code after preprocessing.
See sha1_transform() code which does the same trick.
Patch survives in-tree crypto test and original bugreport test
(ping flood with hmac(sha512).
See FIPS 180-2 for SHA-512 definition
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-2/fips180-2withchangenotice.pdf
If sha512_update will ever be entered twice, hash will be silently
calculated incorrectly.
Probably the easiest way to notice incorrect hashes being calculated is
to run 2 ping floods over AH with hmac(sha512):
#!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
flush;
spdflush;
add IP1 IP2 ah 25 -A hmac-sha512 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000025;
add IP2 IP1 ah 52 -A hmac-sha512 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000052;
spdadd IP1 IP2 any -P out ipsec ah/transport//require;
spdadd IP2 IP1 any -P in ipsec ah/transport//require;
XfrmInStateProtoError will start ticking with -EBADMSG being returned
from ah_input(). This never happens with, say, hmac(sha1).
With patch applied (on BOTH sides), XfrmInStateProtoError does not tick
with multiple bidirectional ping flood streams like it doesn't tick
with SHA-1.
After this patch sha512_transform() will start using ~750 bytes of stack on x86_64.
This is OK for simple loads, for something more heavy, stack reduction will be done
separatedly.

If pages passed to the eCryptfs extent-based crypto functions are not
mapped and the module parameter ecryptfs_verbosity=1 was specified at
loading time, a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Note that this wouldn't happen on a production system, as you wouldn't
pass ecryptfs_verbosity=1 on a production system. It leaks private
information to the system logs and is for debugging only.
The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful
and rather than doing a kmap() in these debugging paths, it will be
better to simply remove the debugging paths completely.
Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.
Print inode on metadata read failure. The only real
way of dealing with metadata read failures is to delete
the underlying file system file. Having the inode
allows one to 'find . -inum INODE`.

The recent change of the power-widget handling for IDT codecs caused
the silent output from the docking-station line-out jack. This was
partially fixed by the commit f2cbba7602383cd9cdd21f0a5d0b8bd1aad47b33
"ALSA: hda - Fix the lost power-setup of seconary pins after PM resume".
But the line-out on the docking-station is still silent when booted
with the jack plugged even by this fix.
The remainig bug is that the power-widget is set off in stac92xx_init()
because the pins in cfg->line_out_pins[] aren't checked there properly
but only hp_pins[] are checked in is_nid_hp_pin().
This patch fixes the problem by checking both HP and line-out pins
and leaving the power-map correctly.
We switch to dynamic debugging in commit 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 but did not take into account that

So now we lock the "dbg_lock" and release it in every debugging macro, which
make them not so light-weight.
This commit removes the "dbg_lock" protection from the debugging macros to
fix the issue.
The downside is that now our DBGKEY() stuff is broken, but this is not
critical at all and will be fixed later.

We are crashing because we are trying to dereference NULL zone which
came from pfn=0 (struct page ffffea0000000000). According to the boot
log this page is marked reserved:
e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved)
and early_node_map confirms that:
early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges
1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c
1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3
1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000
The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned
blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This
also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved
pages and they stay uninitialized.
When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available
sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section.
But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized.
We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1
(rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will
return 0 and there are no zones on the node.
Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its
boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some
false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out
whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for
whatever other reasons.

/proc/pid/clear_refs is used to clear the Referenced and YOUNG bits for
pages and corresponding page table entries of the task with PID pid, which
includes any special mappings inserted into the page tables in order to
provide things like vDSOs and user helper functions.
On ARM this causes a problem because the vectors page is mapped as a
global mapping and since ec706dab ("ARM: add a vma entry for the user
accessible vector page"), a VMA is also inserted into each task for this
page to aid unwinding through signals and syscall restarts. Since the
vectors page is required for handling faults, clearing the YOUNG bit (and
subsequently writing a faulting pte) means that we lose the vectors page
*globally* and cannot fault it back in. This results in a system deadlock
on the next exception.
To see this problem in action, just run:
$ echo 1 > /proc/self/clear_refs
on an ARM platform (as any user) and watch your system hang. I think this
has been the case since 2.6.37
This patch avoids clearing the aforementioned bits for reserved pages,
therefore leaving the vectors page intact on ARM. Since reserved pages
are not candidates for swap, this change should not have any impact on the
usefulness of clear_refs.

immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do
anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall
entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the
system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.
Since commit
"7488876... dt/net: Eliminate users of of_platform_{,un}register_driver"
there are two platform drivers named "mdio-gpio" registered.
I renamed the of variant to "mdio-ofgpio".

As mandated by the standard. In case of an IO error, a pNFS
objects layout driver must return it's layout. This is because
all device errors are reported to the server as part of the
layout return buffer.
This is implemented the same way PNFS_LAYOUTRET_ON_SETATTR
is done, through a bit flag on the pnfs_layoutdriver_type->flags
member. The flag is set by the layout driver that wants a
layout_return preformed at pnfs_ld_{write,read}_done in case
of an error.
(Though I have not defined a wrapper like pnfs_ld_layoutret_on_setattr
because this code is never called outside of pnfs.c and pnfs IO
paths)
Without this patch 3.[0-2] Kernels leak memory and have an annoying
WARN_ON after every IO error utilizing the pnfs-obj driver.
