It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the
fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS. When
we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the
fixups, not some user-level signal handler.
Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out
kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a
SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.
.. which didn't show up in my tests because it's a no-op on x86-64 and
most other architectures. But we enter the function with the last-level
page table mapped, and should unmap it at exit.
This is a rather minimally invasive patch to solve the problem of the
user stack growing into a memory mapped area below it. Whenever we fill
the first page of the stack segment, expand the segment down by one
page.
Now, admittedly some odd application might _want_ the stack to grow down
into the preceding memory mapping, and so we may at some point need to
make this a process tunable (some people might also want to have more
than a single page of guarding), but let's try the minimal approach
first.
Tested with trivial application that maps a single page just below the
stack, and then starts recursing. Without this, we will get a SIGSEGV
_after_ the stack has smashed the mapping. With this patch, we'll get a
nice SIGBUS just as the stack touches the page just above the mapping.
When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.
So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.
If a command times out resulting in EH getting invoked, we wait for the
aborted commands to come back after sending the abort. Shorten
the amount of time we wait for these responses, to ensure we don't
get stuck in EH for several minutes.

Commands which are completed by the VIOS are placed on a CRQ
in kernel memory for the ibmvfc driver to process. Each CRQ
entry is 16 bytes. The ibmvfc driver reads the first 8 bytes
to check if the entry is valid, then reads the next 8 bytes to get
the handle, which is a pointer the completed command. This fixes
an issue seen on Power 7 where the processor reordered the
loads from memory, resulting in processing command completion
with a stale handle. This could result in command timeouts,
and also early completion of commands.

In general the semantics of IPIs are that they are are expected to
continue functioning after dpm_suspend_noirq().
Specifically I have seen a deadlock between the callfunc IPI and the
stop machine used by xen's do_suspend() routine. If one CPU has already
called dpm_suspend_noirq() then there is a window where it can be sent
a callfunc IPI before all the other CPUs have entered stop_cpu().
If this happens then the first CPU ends up spinning in stop_cpu()
waiting for the other to rendezvous in state STOPMACHINE_PREPARE while
the other is spinning in csd_lock_wait().

Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the
address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable
faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches
to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a
temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current
conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues
when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use
to explicitly trigger the notification.

"The URB isn't removed from the anchor until it completes

be for quite some time after the unlink call returns.
In the meantime, the subroutine will keep trying to unlink
it, over and over again."

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded RW_MASK, RWA_MASK, READ, WRITE, READA
and SWRITE as 0, 1, 2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_*
bits. READ/WRITE didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4
instead of bit 1, breaking RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE.
This patch updates RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE such that they match the
BIO_RW_* bits again. A follow up patch will update the definitions to
directly use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen
again.
Neil also spotted missing RWA_MASK conversion.

this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval
timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data
(sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The
ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.)
This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated
signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo. It also gives
results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally
via a sigaction-registered handler.
So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER,
__SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set.

In ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower() the lower mount is not decremented
if allocation of a dentry info struct failed. As a result the lower filesystem
cant be unmounted any more (since it is considered busy). This patch corrects

Lower filesystems that only implemented unlocked_ioctl weren't being
passed ioctl calls because eCryptfs only checked for
lower_file->f_op->ioctl and returned -ENOTTY if it was NULL.
eCryptfs shouldn't implement ioctl(), since it doesn't require the BKL.
This patch introduces ecryptfs_unlocked_ioctl() and
ecryptfs_compat_ioctl(), which passes the calls on to the lower file
system.
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant

to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.

Since 2.6.31, swap_map[]'s refcounting was changed to show that a used
swap entry is just for swap-cache, can be reused. Then, while scanning
free entry in swap_map[], a swap entry may be able to be reclaimed and
reused. It was caused by commit c9e444103b5e7a5 ("mm: reuse unused swap
entry if necessary").
But this caused deta corruption at resume. The scenario is
- Assume a clean-swap cache, but mapped.
- at hibernation_snapshot[], clean-swap-cache is saved as
clean-swap-cache and swap_map[] is marked as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.
- then, save_image() is called. And reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry to save
image, and break the contents.
After resume:
- the memory reclaim runs and finds clean-not-referenced-swap-cache and
discards it because it's marked as clean. But here, the contents on
disk and swap-cache is inconsistent.
Hance memory is corrupted.
This patch avoids the bug by not reclaiming swap-entry during hibernation.
This is a quick fix for backporting.

SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.
This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.
We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.
This patch uses an RCU-inspired approach to fix it. In the RX tasklet's
find_vcc() function we first refuse to use a VCC which already has the
ATM_VF_READY bit cleared. And in the VCC close function, we synchronise
with the tasklet to ensure that it can't still be using the VCC before
we continue and allow the VCC to be destroyed.

MSI delivery from on-board ahci controller doesn't work on K8M800. At
this point, it's unclear whether the culprit is with the ahci
controller or the host bridge. Given the track record and considering
the rather minimal impact of MSI, disabling it seems reasonable.
There is no reason to run NVidia-specific quirks related to HT MSI
mappings with MSI disabled via pci=nomsi, so make
__nv_msi_ht_cap_quirk() return immediately in that case.
This allows at least one machine to boot 100% of the time with
pci=nomsi (it still doesn't boot reliably without that).
This patch prevents the code from calling parport_release and
parport_unregister_device twice with the same arguments - and thus fixes an oops.
Rationale:
After the first call the parport is already released and the
handle isn't valid anymore and calling parport_release and
parport_unregister_device twice isn't a good idea.
xchg() and cmpxchg() modify their memory operands, not merely read

This DMI quirk turns on "pci=use_crs" for the ALiveSATA2-GLAN because
amd_bus.c doesn't handle this system correctly.
The system has a single HyperTransport I/O chain, but has two PCI host
bridges to buses 00 and 80. amd_bus.c learns the MMIO range associated
with buses 00-ff and that this range is routed to the HT chain hosted at
node 0, link 0:
bus: [00, ff] on node 0 link 0
bus: 00 index 1 [mem 0x80000000-0xfcffffffff]
This includes the address space for both bus 00 and bus 80, and amd_bus.c
assumes it's all routed to bus 00.
We find device 80:01.0, which BIOS left in the middle of that space, but
we don't find a bridge from bus 00 to bus 80, so we conclude that 80:01.0
is unreachable from bus 00, and we move it from the original, working,
address to something outside the bus 00 aperture, which does not work:
The BIOS told us everything we need to know to handle this correctly,
so we're better off if we just pay attention, which lets us leave the
80:01.0 device at the original, working, address:
This was a regression between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34. In 2.6.33, amd_bus.c
was used only when we found multiple HT chains. 3e3da00c01d050, which
enabled amd_bus.c even on systems with a single HT chain, caused this
failure.
This quirk was written by Graham. If we ever enable "pci=use_crs" for
machines from 2006 or earlir, this quirk should be removed.
After every iounmap mmiotrace has to free kmmio_fault_pages, but
it can't do it directly, so it defers freeing by RCU.
It usually works, but when mmiotraced code calls ioremap-iounmap
multiple times without sleeping between (so RCU won't kick in
and start freeing) it can be given the same virtual address, so
at every iounmap mmiotrace will schedule the same pages for
release. Obviously it will explode on second free.
Fix it by marking kmmio_fault_pages which are scheduled for
release and not adding them second time.

Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause
hangs on some boxes. At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that
don't have SPROMs at all. When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts
to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box --
no console output, etc.
This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM
is present before attempting to read it. This avoids those hard hangs
on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus. The
SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box
will survive to test further patches. :-)

xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should
be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process
actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the
scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between
cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends

This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code.
The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying
to re-use sentinel directory entries.
In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a
file to another name that had the same non-trivial length.
The file being renamed happened to be the first directory
entry on the leaf block.
First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the
original directory entry and decided it could do its job by
simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore
it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed.
Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to
replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be
replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory
entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block.
Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in
that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was
looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value
for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later
it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore
must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided
to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to
grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the
inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to
reference it.
In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is
reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore
the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0
rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size.
Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work
properly.

When kernel-internal users use cfg80211_get_bss()
to get a reference to a BSS struct, they may end
up getting one that would have been removed from
the list if there had been any userspace access
to the list. This leads to inconsistencies and
problems.
Fix it by making cfg80211_get_bss() ignore BSSes
that cfg80211_bss_expire() would remove.
Ever since mac80211/drivers are no longer
fully in charge of keeping track of the
auth status, trying to make them do so will
fail. Instead of warning and reporting the
deauthentication to userspace, cfg80211 must
simply ignore it so that spurious
deauthentications, e.g. before starting
authentication, aren't seen by userspace as
actual deauthentications.

Fix possible double priv->mutex lock introduced by commit a69b03e941abae00380fc6bc1877fb797a1b31e6
"iwlwifi: cancel scan watchdog in iwl_bg_abort_scan" .
We can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->scan_check) with
priv->mutex locked because workqueue function iwl_bg_scan_check()
take that lock internally.
We do not need to synchronize when canceling priv->scan_check work.
We can avoid races (sending double abort command or send no
command at all) using STATUS_SCAN_ABORT bit. Moreover
current iwl_bg_scan_check() code seems to be broken, as
we should not send abort commands when currently aborting.

When an aggregation session is being cleaned up, while the tx status
for some frames is being processed, the TID is flushed and its buffers

Unfortunately that left the pending un-acked frames unprocessed, thus

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.
Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.
This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

The 82576 expects the second rx queue in any pool to receive L2 switch
loop back packets sent from the second tx queue in another pool. The
82576 VF driver does not enable the second rx queue so if the PF driver
sends packets destined to a VF from its second tx queue then the VF
driver will never see them. In SR-IOV mode limit the number of tx queues
used by the PF driver to one. This patch fixes a bug reported in which
the PF cannot communciate with the VF and should be considered for 2.6.34
stable.

The MAC-PHY interconnect on 82577/82578 uses a power management feature
(called K1) which must be disabled when in 1Gbps due to a hardware issue on
these parts. The #define bit setting used to enable/disable K1 is
incorrect and can cause PHY register accesses to stop working altogether
until the next device reset. This patch sets the register correctly.
This issue is present in kernels since 2.6.32.

Should e1000_test_msi() fail to see an msi interrupt, it attempts to
fallback to legacy INTx interrupts. But an error in the code may prevent
this from happening correctly.
Before calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), e1000_test_msi() disables SERR
by clearing the SERR bit from the just read PCI_COMMAND bits as it writes
them back out.
Upon return from calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), it re-enables SERR
by writing out the version of PCI_COMMAND it had previously read.
The problem with this is that e1000_test_msi_interrupt() calls
pci_disable_msi(), which eventually ends up in pci_intx(). And because
pci_intx() was called with enable set to 1, the INTX_DISABLE bit gets
cleared from PCI_COMMAND, which is what we want. But when we get back to
e1000_test_msi(), the INTX_DISABLE bit gets inadvertently re-set because
of the attempt by e1000_test_msi() to re-enable SERR.
The solution is to have e1000_test_msi() re-read the PCI_COMMAND bits as
part of its attempt to re-enable SERR.
During debugging/testing of this issue I found that not all the systems
I ran on had the SERR bit set to begin with. And on some of the systems
the same could be said for the INTX_DISABLE bit. Needless to say these
latter systems didn't have a problem falling back to legacy INTx
interrupts with the code as is.

The correct check is to verify whether in high range we're below 4GB
and not to extract the DctSelBaseAddr again. See "2.8.5 Routing DRAM
Requests" in the F10h BKDG.
The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it
(which, incidentally, had a bug in it.)
Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which,
as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use
a tab as the first character.

comedi: Uncripple 8255-based DIO subdevices
(Note: upstream comedi configuration has been overhauled, so this patch
does not apply there.)
Several comedi drivers call subdev_8255_init() (declared in
"drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/8255.h") to set up one or more DIO
subdevices. This should be provided by the 8255.ko module, but unless
the CONFIG_COMEDI_8255 or CONFIG_COMEDI_8255_MODULE macro is defined,
the 8255.h header uses a dummy inline version of the function instead.
This means the comedi devices end up with an "unused" subdevice with 0
channels instead of a "DIO" subdevice with 24 channels!
This patch provides a non-interactive COMEDI_8255 option and selects it
whenever the COMEDI_PCI_DRIVERS or COMEDI_PCMCIA_DRIVERS options are
selected.

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62dafb4a6633eae7ffbeb34c60dba5e7b1 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.
I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.
Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.
Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

after training the link. If we don't, it likely won't come back after
suspend or may not come up at all.
For unknown reasons, unlocking the panel regs before initiating a power
on sequence is necessary. There are known bugs in the PCH panel
sequencing logic, apparently this is one possible workaround.
