Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

dev_pm_qos_add_request() can return 0, 1, or a negative error code,
therefore the correct error test is "if (error < 0)." Checking just for
non-zero return code leads to erroneous setting of the req->dev pointer
to NULL, which then leads to a repeated call to
dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request() in st1232_ts_irq_handler(). This in turn
leads to an Oops, when the I2C host adapter is unloaded and reloaded again
because of the inconsistent state of its QoS request list.

If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics

Commit 09e05d48 introduced a wait for transaction commit into
journal_unmap_buffer() in the case we are truncating a buffer undergoing commit
in the page stradding i_size on a filesystem with blocksize < pagesize. Sadly
we forgot to drop buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit and thus
deadlock is possible when kjournald wants to lock the buffer.
Fix the problem by dropping the buffer lock before waiting for transaction
commit. Since we are still holding page lock (and that is OK), buffer cannot
disappear under us.

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test
exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the
lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash.
While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with
a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a
futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and
futex_requeue() do not perform the same test.
Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and
q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.

Request based dm attempts to re-run the request queue off the
request completion path. If used with a driver that potentially does
end_io from its request_fn, we could deadlock trying to recurse
back into request dispatch. Fix this by punting the request queue
run to kblockd.
Tested to fix a quickly reproducible deadlock in such a scenario.
After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in
blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed
immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME
isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone.
Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary.
This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when
running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this
race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated
is so small.
When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully
and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to
and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev,
even if this write was to the replacement.
This means that any writes to an array while a replacement
was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary
device to go negative, so it could never be removed.
This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.
jffs2_write_begin() first acquires the page lock, then f->sem. This
causes an AB-BA deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), which first
acquires f->sem, then the page lock:
We fix this by restructuring jffs2_write_begin() to take f->sem before
the page lock. However, we make sure that f->sem is not held when
calling jffs2_reserve_space(), as this is not permitted by the locking
rules.
The deadlock above was observed multiple times on an SoC with a dual
ARMv7 (Cortex-A9), running the long-term 3.4.11 kernel; it occurred
when using scp to copy files from a host system to the ARM target
system. The fix was heavily tested on the same target system.
The pointer returned by kzalloc should be tested for NULL
to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference later. Incorrect

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as
well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area.
Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff
tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in
multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the
problem isn't often seen in practise.

When the firmware is in SNIFFER mode, it leaves
the FCS at the end of frame. Not telling mac80211
means it won't add the right flag to the radiotap

Since mac80211 doesn't have a per-packet flag, set
the HW flag dynamically. This works as the monitor
vif can only be present in the driver by itself.

need kernel_stack_pointer(), so export it using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may
point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults
while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq

Fixing this by checking if regs and ®s->sp are in the same stack

The function ext4_handle_dirty_super() was calculating the superblock
on the wrong block data. As a result, when the superblock is modified
while it is mounted (most commonly, when inodes are added or removed
from the orphan list), the superblock checksum would be wrong. We
didn't notice because the superblock *was* being correctly calculated
in ext4_commit_super(), and this would get called when the file system
was unmounted. So the problem only became obvious if the system
crashed while the file system was mounted.
Fix this by removing the poorly designed function signature for
ext4_superblock_csum_set(); if it only took a single argument, the
pointer to a struct superblock, the ambiguity which caused this
mistake would have been impossible.

If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary

it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is
executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash
most of the time.
Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the
execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous
address space control is restored on signal return. Take care
that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by

After the change "Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway"
(commit f8126f1d51) we should properly match the nexthop when
destinations are directly connected because rt_gateway can be 0.
The rt_gateway checks in H.323 helper try to avoid the creation
of an unnecessary expectation in this call-forwarding case:
It seems it is not trivial to know from the kernel if two hosts
have to go through the firewall to communicate each other, which
is the main point of the call-forwarding filter code to avoid
creating unnecessary expectations.
So this patch just gets things the way they were as before
commit f8126f1d51.
Torsten Luettgert bisected TEE regression starting with commit f8126f1d5136be1 (ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.)
The problem is that it tries to ARP-lookup the original destination
address of the forwarded packet, not the address of the gateway.
Fix this using FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH Julian added in commit c92b96553a80c1 (ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH), so that known
nexthop (info->gw.ip) has preference on resolving.
ICMP tuples have id in src and type/code in dst.
So comparing src.u.all with dst.u.all will always fail here
and ip_xfrm_me_harder() is called for every ICMP packet,
even if there was no NAT.

The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.
The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.
I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png
Interesting points:
- With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
- at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
- when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
again with further MTU increases.
- With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
- there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
- With unlimited DMA burst:
- at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
- the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
peaks.
Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52
The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

the glock was in the exclusive state. Now, instead of calling file_accessed()
while holding the shared lock in gfs2_mmap(), file_accessed() is called after
grabbing and releasing the glock to update the inode. If file_accessed() needs
to update the atime, it will grab an exclusive lock in gfs2_dirty_inode().
gfs2_dirty_inode() now also checks to make sure that if the calling process has
already locked the glock, it has an exclusive lock.

There are bug reports of a crash with USB-audio devices when PCM
prepare is performed immediately after the stream is stopped via
trigger callback. It turned out that the problem is that we don't
wait until all URBs are killed.
This patch adds a new function to synchronize the pending stop
operation on an endpoint, and calls in the prepare callback for
avoiding the crash above.
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.
order-5 allocations can fail with current kernels, we should
try vmalloc() as well.

Currently if a socket was repaired with a few packet in a write queue,
a kernel bug may be triggered:
kernel BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2330!
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8155784f>] tcp_retransmit_skb+0x5ff/0x610
According to the initial realization v3.4-rc2-963-gc0e88ff,
all skb-s should look like already posted. This patch fixes code
according with this sentence.
Here are three points, which were not done in the initial patch:
1. A tcp send head should not be changed
2. Initialize TSO state of a skb
3. Reset the retransmission time
This patch moves logic from tcp_sendmsg to tcp_write_xmit. A packet
passes the ussual way, but isn't sent to network. This patch solves
all described problems and handles tcp_sendpages.

With the latest kernel there are two things that must be done post decryption
so that the packet are forwarded.
1. Remove the mark from the packet. This will cause the packet to not match
the ipsec-policy again. However doing this causes the post-decryption check to
fail also and the packet will get dropped. (cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat).
2. Remove the sp association in the skbuff so that no policy check is done on
the packet for VTI tunnels.
Due to #2 above we must now do a security-policy check in the vti rcv path
prior to resetting the mark in the skbuff.

The sigaddset/sigdelset/sigismember functions that are implemented with
bitfield insn cannot allow the sigset argument to be placed in a data
register since the sigset is wider than 32 bits. Remove the "d"
constraint from the asm statements.
The effect of the bug is that sending RT signals does not work, the signal
number is truncated modulo 32.
The mgmt_read_index_list uses one loop to calculate the max needed size
of its response with the help of an upper-bound of the controller count.
The second loop is more strict as it checks for HCI_SETUP (which might
have gotten set after the first loop) and could result in some indexes
being skipped. Because of this the function needs to readjust the event
length and index count after filling in the response array.

The RX replenish code doesn't handle DMA mapping failures,
which will cause issues if there actually is a failure. This
was reported by Shuah Khan who found a DMA mapping framework
warning ("device driver failed to check map error").
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)

__pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
...
The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.
I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it).
This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.
The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

The TTM page can be allocated from high memory. In such case it is
wrong to use the page_address(page) as the virtual address for the high memory
page.
The commit [ad756a16: KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with
EPT] introduced the unconditional access to SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL,
and this triggers kernel warnings like below on old CPUs:
Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
which takes care of the memcg uncharge.

When walking page tables we need to make sure that everything
is within bounds of the ASCE limit of the task's address space.
Otherwise we might calculate e.g. a pud pointer which is not
within a pud and dereference it.
So check against TASK_SIZE (which is the ASCE limit) before
walking page tables.

Passing a NULL id causes a NULL pointer deference in writers such as

This is a bugfix for a problem with the following symptoms:
1. A power cut happens
2. After reboot, we try to mount UBIFS
3. Mount fails with "No space left on device" error message
UBIFS complains like this:
UBIFS error (pid 28225): grab_empty_leb: could not find an empty LEB
The root cause of this problem is that when we mount, not all LEBs are
categorized. Only those which were read are. However, the
'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' function assumes that all LEBs were
categorized and 'c->freeable_cnt' is valid, which is a false assumption.
This patch fixes the problem by teaching 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()'
to always fall back to LPT scanning if no freeable LEBs were found.
This problem was reported by few people in the past, but Brent Taylor
was able to reproduce it and send me a flash image which cannot be mounted,
which made it easy to hunt the bug. Kudos to Brent.

VT1802 codec provides the invalid connection lists of NID 0x24 and
0x33 containing the routes to a non-exist widget 0x3e. This confuses
the auto-parser. Fix it up in the driver by overriding these
connections.
In via_auto_fill_adc_nids(), the parser tries to fill dac_nids[] at
the point of the current line-out (i). When no valid path is found
for this output, this results in dac = 0, thus it creates a hole in
dac_nids[]. This confuses is_empty_dac() and trims the detected DAC
in later reference.
This patch fixes the bug by appending DAC properly to dac_nids[] in
via_auto_fill_adc_nids().
Several bug reports suggest that the forcibly resetting IEC958 status
bits is required for AD codecs to get the SPDIF output working
properly after changing streams.
