iop-adma: fix platform driver hotplug/coldplug

commit ebabe2762607147d28aa395ea6df2a0ee7f795a1

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform
modalias is prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to most
of the hotpluggable platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

[ Upstream commit b7c2a75725dee9b5643a0aae3a4cb47f52e00a49 ]

We're calling request_irq() with a IRQs disabled.

No straightforward fix exists because we want to
enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before
getting into the IRQ handler the first time.

What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be
automatically enabled by request_irq().  Then we
make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the
LDC channel.

This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally
under the LDC channel lock any more.

Bump LDC version and release date.

15 years agotcp: Clear probes_out more aggressively in tcp_ack().
David S. Miller [Fri, 25 Jul 2008 23:53:38 +0000 (16:53 -0700)]
tcp: Clear probes_out more aggressively in tcp_ack().

[ Upstream commit 4b53fb67e385b856a991d402096379dab462170a ]

This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet.

tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets
outstanding.  Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have
packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the
probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and
we'll reset it.

This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x
timeframe.  In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by
tcp_ack().

Here is Eric's original report:

----------------------------------------
Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.

In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.*

Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000

iptables -N SLOWLO
iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP

iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO

Then run the attached program and see the output :

vmlinux.lds: move __attribute__((__cold__)) functions back into final .text section

commit fb5e2b379732e1a6ea32392980bb42e0212db842 upstream

Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols
without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end
up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in
.text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only
outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger.
Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of
__attribute__((__hot__)) also .text.hot) to the TEXT_TEXT() macro.

rtc-at91rm9200: avoid spurious irqs

commit 449321b39f6c6ebfa15d6da24f134240bd51db29 upstream

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-at91rm9200 by scrubbing old IRQ status
before enabling IRQs.

It also removes nonfunctional periodic IRQ support from this driver;
only update IRQs are reported, or provided by the hardware.

I suspect some other RTCs probably have versions of #11112; it's easy to
overlook, since most non-RTC drivers don't care about spurious IRQs:
they're not reported to userspace.

15 years agox86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real Mode

x86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real Mode

Commit 3bf2e77453a87c22eb57ed4926760ac131c84459 upstream

x86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real Mode

The explanation for recent video BIOS suspend quirk failures is that
the VESA BIOS expects to be entered in Big Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffffffff)
instead of ordinary Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffff).

This patch changes the segment descriptors to Big Real Mode instead.

The segment descriptor registers (what Intel calls "segment cache") is
always active.  The only thing that changes based on CR0.PE is how it is
*loaded* and the interpretation of the CS flags.

The segment descriptor registers contain of the following sub-registers:
selector (the "visible" part), base, limit and flags.  In protected mode
or long mode, they are loaded from descriptors (or fs.base or gs.base can
be manipulated directly in long mode.)  In real mode, the only thing
changed by a segment register load is the selector and the base, where the
base <- selector << 4.  In particular, *the limit and the flags are not
changed*.

As far as the handling of the CS flags: a code segment cannot be writable
in protected mode, whereas it is "just another segment" in real mode, so
there is some kind of quirk that kicks in for this when CR0.PE <- 0.  I'm
not sure if this is accomplished by actually changing the cs.flags register
or just changing the interpretation; it might be something that is
CPU-specific.  In particular, the Transmeta CPUs had an explicit "CS is
writable if you're in real mode" override, so even if you had loaded CS
with an execute-only segment it'd be writable (but not readable!) on return
to real mode.  I'm not at all sure if that is how other CPUs behave.

rcu: fix rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() to prevent grace-period stall

commit d7c0651390b6a03ad53f99faec0ba88109d7191d upstream

The comment was correct -- need to make the code match the comment.
Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever)
in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing,
grace periods stall.  The offending sequence of events (courtesy
of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded
correctly...) is as follows:

o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode.  Its dynticks_progress_counter
is (say) 10.

o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's
dynticks_progress_counter to 11.

o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(),
sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(),
which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter
into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11.  CPU 1 then
updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack().

o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments
CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12.

o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that
CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes
rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed().  This function examines the
state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot
variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11),
respectively.

Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails.

Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second
condition fails.

rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes
that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the
counter flip.

o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking
any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running
any more tasks.  (Of course, -something- will usually eventually
happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the
wild.  Still should be fixed!)

Therefore the grace period never ends.  Fix is to make the code match
the comment, as shown below.  With this fix, the above scenario
would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period
to proceed.

f2966632a134e865db3c819346a1dc7d96e05309 ("[PATCH] rock: handle directory
overflows") (included with kernel 2.6.13) the kernel ignored the rockridge
data for these files, while still allowing the files to be accessed under
their non-rockridge names.  That commit inadvertently changed things so
that files with invalid rockridge data could not be accessed at all.  (I
ran across the problem when comparing some old CDs with hard disk copies I
had made long ago under kernel 2.4: a few of the files on the hard disk
copies were no longer visible on the CDs.)

This change reverts to the pre-2.6.13 behavior.

cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage

Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:

Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,

  update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)

does the following:

/*
 * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
 * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
 * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
 * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
 */

The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.

With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:

cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()

Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.

__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).

try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

fbdev: bugfix for multiprocess defio

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating
the same framebuffer.

Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.

It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page.  Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer.  The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang.  The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist.  The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding.  Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

[SCSI] bsg: fix oops on remove

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device:  In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called.  In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

Fix reference counting race on log buffers

When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout.  However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there.  If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.

But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog.  That leads to a filesystem hang.

Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.

The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()

a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its

Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU

PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken.  The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online.  The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.

With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections.  This results in
free-before-grace bugs.

Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry
itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook

is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.

Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.
