[PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reported
People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.
The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.
However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).
The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.

[PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier document
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out
with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan
Stern.
The following changes were made:
(*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory
barriers was wrong.
(*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is
a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely
true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both.
(*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the
loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the
opposite order to the stores around the write barrier.
(*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to
the stores.
(*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences"
section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more
clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier.
(*) Added a section on memory speculation.
(*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory
barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be
worthy of further documentation later.
(*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a
full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

[PATCH] elevator switching race
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.
To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.
This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

[TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming head
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet
to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd. Since the length is
entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually
quite common.
Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if
it's easily done. In this case it is trivial. Since we're discarding
all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward
or back.
However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general.
So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing.
This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial
ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild. As the return value
of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed.

[PATCH] sbp2: fix check of return value of hpsb_allocate_and_register_addrspace()
From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
I added a failure check in patch "sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix
login timeout)" --- alas for a wrong error value. This is a bug since
Linux 2.6.16. Leads to NULL pointer dereference if the call failed, and
bogus failure handling if call succeeded.

We're presently running lock_kernel() under fs_lock via nfs's ->permission
handler. That's a ranking bug and sometimes a sleep-in-spinlock bug. This
problem was introduced in the openat() patchset.
We should not need to hold the current->fs->lock for a codepath that doesn't
use current->fs.

[PATCH] alpha: SMP IRQ routing fix
From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
After removal of fixup_cpu_present_map() function Alpha ended up with an empty
cpu_present_map, so secondary CPUs on SMP systems are not being started.
Worse, on some platforms we route interrupts to secondary CPUs using
cpu_possible_map which is still populated properly. As a result, these
interrupts go nowhere so the machines like DP264 aren't able to boot even with
a primary CPU.
Fixed basically by s/cpu_present_mask/cpu_present_map/.
Thanks to Ernst Herzberg for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

The path grouping can fail due to non-unique pathgroup-IDs. The source for
the CPU-ID part of the ID was incorrectly specified on 64 bit systems.
Additionally, the length of the ID was too large due to incorrect data packing
declaration. Fix CPU-ID lowcore address and add missing packing declaration.

IPoIB: Fix AH leak at interface down
When ipoib_stop() is called it first calls netif_stop_queue() to stop
the kernel from passing more packets to the network driver. However,
the completion handler may call netif_wake_queue() re-enabling packet
transfer.
This might result in leaks (we see AH leaks which we think can be
attributed to this bug) as new packets get posted while the interface
is going down.

[SPARC64]: Fix missing fold at end of checksums.
Both csum_partial() and the csum_partial_copy*() family of routines
forget to do a final fold on the computed checksum value on sparc64.
So do the standard Sparc "add + set condition codes, add carry"
sequence, then make sure the high 32-bits of the return value are
clear.
Based upon some excellent detective work and debugging done by
Richard Braun and Samuel Thibault.
