Currently libata uses four methods to detect device presence.
1. PHY status if available.
2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes)
3. device signature after reset
4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine
Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there
have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary
delay during probe. In both cases, PHY status wasn't available. In
one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which
didn't qualify as #4. The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4,
it still caused failure.
In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these
cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY
failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.
In ordered mode, if a file data buffer being dirtied exists in the
committing transaction, we write the buffer to the disk, move it from the
committing transaction to the running transaction, then dirty it. But we
don't have to remove the buffer from the committing transaction when the
buffer couldn't be written out, otherwise it would miss the error and the
committing transaction would not abort.
This patch adds an error check before removing the buffer from the
committing transaction.

We could run into ENOSPC error on ext3, even when there is free blocks on
the filesystem.
The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free
blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of
"free_blocks < windowsz/2". Current code could fall back to non
reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block
groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation
window is turned off already, which is true in this case.
This patch fixed two issues:
1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has
0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups.
Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the
goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for
make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal
block group, to get better locality. But if the goal blocks have 0 free
blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for
the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely.

When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated. This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.
There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.
This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1.
We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections,
ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with
the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by
ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes
failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and
non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.

In ext4_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it,
but there may be one already in progress which will not be synced.
In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which
are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block
device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of
fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits,
seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the
backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new
or previously freed block data to userspace.
To ensure all commits are synced, we flush all journal commits now
when sync_fs'ing ext4.

Commit 23f8b79e introducd a regression because it assumed that if
there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress
could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the
journal should be aborted. This assumption is false; it could be the
case that simply calling jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the
necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing
transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in
the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction
to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.

During filesystem recovery we may be doing a truncate
which expects some of the mballoc data structures to
be initialized. So do ext4_mb_init before recovery.
ext4_xattr_set_handle() eventually ends up calling
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() which tries to expand the inode by shifting
the EAs. This leads to the xattr_sem being downed again and leading
to a deadlock.
This patch makes sure that if ext4_xattr_set_handle() is in the
call-chain, ext4_mark_inode_dirty() will not expand the inode.
Also make sure the buffer heads are marked clean before submitting bh
for writing. The previous code was marking the buffer head dirty,
which would have forced an unneeded write (and seek) to the journal
for no good reason.
The __jbd2_log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing
transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal.
However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g. because the
free space calculation is wrong due to a corrupted filesystem) it will
never progress.
Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and
abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

Also, reorder the ioctl numbers in ext4.h to avoid this sort of

If there group descriptors are corrupted we need unlock the block
group lock before returning from the function; else we will oops when

Some devices such as "cciss/c0d0p9" will cause jbd2 setup and teardown

prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pages
Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.
In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.
If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.
This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

TCP_Server_Info struct. The refcounting for the cifsSesInfo is moved to
a non-atomic variable. We have to protect it by a lock anyway, so there's
no benefit to making it an atomic. The list and refcount are protected

Disable the sharing of SMB and tcon structs for now until we can
come up with a way to do this that's race free.
We want to continue to share TCP sessions, however since they are
required for multiuser mounts. For that, implement a new (hopefully
race-free) scheme. Add a new global list of TCP sessions, and take
care to get a reference to it whenever we're dealing with one.

We're currently declaring both a sockaddr_in and sockaddr6_in on the
stack, but we really only need storage for one of them. Declare a
sockaddr struct and cast it to the proper type. Also, eliminate the
protocolType field in the TCP_Server_Info struct. It's redundant since
we have a sa_family field in the sockaddr anyway.
We may need to revisit this if SCTP is ever implemented, but for now
this will simplify the code.
CIFS over IPv6 also has a number of problems currently. This fixes all
of them that I found. Eventually, it would be nice to move more of the
code to be protocol independent, but this is a start.

and addresses a problem with ses->status and tcon->tidStatus in which we

two state fields (need reconnect was not mutually exclusive from some of the
other possible tid and ses states). In addition, a few exit cases in
cifs_mount were cleaned up, and a problem with a tcon flag (for lease support)
was not being set consistently for the 2nd mount of the same share

It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().
Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

When resizing a CQ, MTTs associated with the old CQE buffer were not
freed. As a result, if any app used resize CQ repeatedly, all MTTs
were eventually exhausted, which led to all memory registration
operations failing until the driver is reloaded.
Once the RESIZE_CQ command returns successfully from FW, FW no longer
accesses the old CQ buffer, so it is safe to deallocate the MTT
entries used by the old CQ buffer.
Finally, if the RESIZE_CQ command fails, the MTTs allocated for the
new CQEs buffer also need to be de-allocated.

When the "hpwdt" module is loaded (even if the /dev/watchdog device is not
opened), then kdump does not work. The panic kernel either does not start at
all or crash in various places.
The problem is that hpwdt_pretimeout is registered with register_die_notifier()
with the highest possible priority. Because it returns NOTIFY_STOP, the
crash_nmi_callback which is also registered with register_die_notifier()
is never executed. This causes the shutdown of other CPUs to fail.
Reverting the order is no option: The crash_nmi_callback executes HLT
and so never returns normally. Because of that, it must be executed as
last notifier, which currently is done.
So, that patch returns NOTIFY_OK to keep the crash_nmi_callback executed.

- the write's copy_from_user will fault on the ps mapping, and
signal_pending will be non-zero. Because returning from the fault

[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write path
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN
repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually
failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption.
There are three changes that were suggested by various network
developers:
1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg
(we left in the retry on failure)
2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket
(let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better
in the TCP stack now)
3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp
session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do
not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning
of the next SMB.
This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has
been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes
a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress
test cases.

For further information, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516
Instead of removing the related dmi-quirks completely we'd like to
keep them for (at least) one kernel version -- to double-check whether
the early-quirks really took effect. But the dmi-quirks need to be
called after early-quirks are executed. With this patch calling
sequence for dmi-quriks is changed as follows:
The NUMA code on x86_32 creates special memory mapping that allows
each node's pgdat to be located in this node's memory. For this
purpose it allocates a memory area at the end of each node's memory
and maps this area so that it is accessible with virtual addresses
belonging to low memory. As a result, if there is high memory,
these NUMA-allocated areas are physically located in high memory,
although they are mapped to low memory addresses.
Our hibernation code does not take that into account and for this
reason hibernation fails on all x86_32 systems with CONFIG_NUMA=y and
with high memory present. Fix this by adding a special mapping for
the NUMA-allocated memory areas to the temporary page tables created
during the last phase of resume.

When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds
an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree
which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this
can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not
supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init().
The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
too late. Move it a bit earlier.
There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the
fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same
purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this.

A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.
As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:
In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in
cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
if (stat->time_in_state)
stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}
Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is

Now that the PCI core manages the 'name' for each individual
hotplug driver, and all drivers (except rpaphp) have been converted
to use hotplug_slot_name(), there is no need for the PCI hotplug
core to drag around its own copy of name either.
We no longer need to manage our version of hotplug_slot->name
since the PCI and hotplug core manage it on our behalf.
Update the sn_hp_slot_private_alloc() interface to fill in
the correct name for us, as that function already has all
the parameters needed to determine the name.
rpaphp tends to use slot->name directly everywhere, and doesn't
ever need slot->hotplug_slot->name.
struct hotplug_slot->name is going away, so convert rpaphp directly
manipulate its own slot->name everywhere, and don't bother touching
slot->hotplug_slot->name.
In preparation for cleaning up the various hotplug drivers
such that they don't have to manage their own 'name' parameters
anymore, we provide the following convenience functions:
pci_slot_name()
hotplug_slot_name()
These helpers will be used by individual hotplug drivers.
Prevent callers of pci_create_slot() from registering slots with
duplicate names. This condition occurs most often when PCI hotplug
drivers are loaded on platforms with broken firmware that assigns
identical names to multiple slots.
We now rename these duplicate slots on behalf of the user.
If firmware assigns the name N to multiple slots, then:
The first registered slot is assigned N
The second registered slot is assigned N-1
The third registered slot is assigned N-2
etc.
This is the permanent fix mentioned in earlier commits d6a9e9b4 and 167e782e (shpchp/pciehp: Rename duplicate slot name...).
We take advantage of the new 'hotplug' parameter in pci_create_slot()
to prevent a slot create/rename race between hotplug drivers and
detection drivers.
The hotplug driver creates the slot with its desired name, and then
releases the semaphore. Now, the detection driver tries to create
the same slot, but it already exists. We don't care about renaming,
so return the existing slot.
The detection driver creates the slot with name "X". Then the hotplug
driver tries to create the same slot, but wants the name "Y" instead.
We detect that we're trying to create the same slot and that we also
want a rename, so rename the slot to "Y" and return.
Two separate hotplug drivers are attempting to claim the slot and
are passing valid hotplug_slot args to pci_create_slot(). We detect
that the slot already has a ->hotplug callback, prevent a rename,
and return -EBUSY.
Slot detection drivers can co-exist with hotplug drivers. The names
of the detected/claimed slots may be different depending on module
load order.
For legacy reasons, we need to allow hotplug drivers to override
the slot name if a detection driver is loaded first (and they find
the same slots).
Creating and overriding slot names should be an atomic operation,
otherwise you get a locking nightmare as various drivers race to
call pci_create_slot().
pci_create_slot() is already serialized by grabbing the pci_bus_sem.
We update the API and add a 'hotplug' param, which is:
set if the caller is a hotplug driver
NULL if the caller is a detection driver
pci_create_slot() does not actually use the 'hotplug' parameter in this
patch. A later patch will add the logic that uses it.
Update pci_hp_register() to take a const char *name parameter.
The motivation for this is to clean up the individual hotplug
drivers so that each one does not have to manage its own name.
The PCI core should be the place where we manage the name.
We update the interface and all callsites first, in a
"no functional change" manner, and clean up the drivers later.
after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.
I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:
This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.
This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?
I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

We should only tell the hardware its capable of DMA'ing
to us only what we asked dev_alloc_skb(). Prior to this
it is possible a large RX'd frame could have corrupted
DMA data but for us but we were saved only because we
were previously also pci_map_single()'ing the same large
value. The issue prior to this though was we were unmapping
a smaller amount which the prior DMA patch fixed.

This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811
Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:
DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0
Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).
We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.
Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

Impact: fix boot crash on AMD IOMMU if CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is off
Currently these macros evaluate to a no-op except the kernel is compiled
with GART or Calgary support. But we also need these macros when we have
SWIOTLB, VT-d or AMD IOMMU in the kernel. Since we always compile at
least with SWIOTLB we can define these macros always.
This patch is also for stable backport for the same reason the SWIOTLB
default selection patch is.
Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.
The netmos_9xx5_combo type assumes that PCI SSID provides always the
correct value for the number of parallel and serial ports, but there are
indeed broken devices with wrong numbers, which may result in Oops.
This patch simply adds the check of the array range.
The Zepto 6615WD laptop (rebranded Inventec Symphony system) needs a
key release quirk for its volume keys to work. The attached patch adds
the quirk to the atkbd driver.
This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698
"Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about
what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result
was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a
NULL pointer reference.
Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest
fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU
info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the
"Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the
cleanup will come in a later patch.

To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and
ih->mutex. That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all
other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount. We can
*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will
happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially
outliving its superblock.
Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we
can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until
we are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super().
However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with
umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore?
We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait
until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining
for fjords. That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the
window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.
the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading
for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
->s_umount.
We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather
antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed
->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that
->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with
inotify_umount_inodes().
So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just
with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had
to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch
could've been gone already.
That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
whatever's more convenient.
So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
"grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
superblock won't be going away.
And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
concept of inotify to start with.
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.
Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash
the kernel and as such enforce a DSO.
A simple testcase is available here:
http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz
The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption()
crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries to
unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack(). Since the stack contains
userspace addresses, a try to unwind the stack is dangerous and useless
and leads to the crash.
The fix is trivial: For userspace processes
a) avoid to unwind the stack, and
b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names.
While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS
printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static.
An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August:

A problem was found while reviewing the code after Bugzilla bug
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796.
In ipc_addid(), the newly allocated ipc structure is inserted into the
ipcs tree (i.e made visible to readers) without locking it. This is not
correct since its initialization continues after it has been inserted in
the tree.
This patch moves the ipc structure lock initialization + locking before
the actual insertion.
kunmap() takes as argument the struct page that orginally got kmap()'d,
however the sg_miter_stop() function passed it the kernel virtual address
instead, resulting in weird stuff.
Somehow I ended up fixing this bug by accident while looking for a bug in
the same area.

Fixes a data corruption bug in pxa2xx_spi.c when operating in full duplex
mode with DMA and using buffers that overlap.
SPI transmit and receive buffers are allowed to be the same or to overlap.
However, this driver fails if such overlap is attempted in DMA mode
because it maps the rx and tx buffers in the wrong order. By mapping
DMA_FROM_DEVICE (read) before DMA_TO_DEVICE (write), it invalidates the
cache before flushing it, thus discarding data which should have been
transmitted.
The patch corrects the order of mapping. This bug exists in all versions
of pxa2xx_spi.c; similar bugs are in the drivers for two other SPI
controllers (au1500, imx).
A version of this patch has been tested on kernel 2.6.20 using
verification of loopback data with: random transfer length, random
bits-per-word, random positive offsets (both larger and smaller than
transfer length) between the start of the rx and tx buffers, and varying
clock rates.

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.
Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.
