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
the reference counting.
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
permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of
blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk.
Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition
on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access
to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.
The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a
partition.
If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's
fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super()
called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
we are holding another active reference to it.
What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag
isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).
Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

On some platforms (MacPro3,1) the BIOS assigns the ioatdma device to the
incorrect iommu causing faults when the driver initializes. Add a quirk
to catch this misconfiguration and try falling back to untranslated
operation (which works in the MacPro3,1 case).
Assuming there are other platforms with misconfigured iommus teach the
ioatdma driver to treat initialization failures as non-fatal (just fail
the driver load and emit a warning instead of triggering a BUG_ON).
This can be classified as a boot regression since 2.6.32 on affected
platforms since the ioatdma module did not autoload prior to that
kernel.

Based on patches from Sonny Rao and Milton Miller...
Combined the patches to fix up clean_tx_irq and clean_rx_irq.
The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes
to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier.
In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.
The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header
and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order
we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use
hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it
all the way to the application.
This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has
been shown to fix it. The bug can manifest as a data integrity issue
(bad payload data) or as a BUG in skb_pull().
This was a nasty bug to hunt down, if people agree with the fix I think
it's a candidate for stable.
Previously Submitted to e1000-devel only for ixgbe
We've now seen this problem hit with other device drivers (e1000e mostly)
So I'm resubmitting with fixes for other Intel Device Drivers with
similar issues.

If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while
resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock.
Fix this be elevating ->nr_waiting for the duration of both
parts of the split request.
This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22
but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons.
It is suitable for and -stable since then.
Move the deletion of sysfs attributes from reconfig_mutex to
open_mutex didn't really help as a process can try to take
open_mutex while holding reconfig_mutex, so the same deadlock can
happen, just requiring one more process to be involved in the chain.
I looks like I cannot easily use locking to wait for the sysfs
deletion to complete, so don't.
The only things that we cannot do while the deletions are still
pending is other things which can change the sysfs namespace: run,
takeover, stop. Each of these can fail with -EBUSY.
So set a flag while doing a sysfs deletion, and fail run, takeover,
stop if that flag is set.
ide_cd_error_cmd() can complete an erroneous request with leftover
buffers. Signal this with its return value so that the request is not
accessed after its completion in the irq handler and we oops.

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.

Use the stop machine context rather than IPI's to rendezvous all the cpus for
MTRR initialization that happens during cpu bringup or for MTRR modifications
during runtime.
This avoids deadlock scenario (reported by Prarit) like:
cpu A holds a read_lock (tasklist_lock for example) with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for the same lock with irqs disabled using write_lock_irq
cpu C doing set_mtrr() (during AP bringup for example), which will try to
rendezvous all the cpus using IPI's
This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the lock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.
Using stop cpu (run in the process context of per cpu based keventd) to do
this rendezvous, avoids this deadlock scenario.
Also make sure all the cpu's are in the rendezvous handler before we proceed
with the local_irq_save() on each cpu. This lock step disabling irqs on all
the cpus will avoid other deadlock scenarios (for example involving
with the blocking smp_call_function's etc).
[ This problem is very old. Marking -stable only for 2.6.35 as the
stop_one_cpu_nowait() API is present only in 2.6.35. Any older
kernel interested in this fix need to do some more work in backporting
this patch. ]
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).
LBDAF is not available nor necessary on 64BIT kernel. This patch
fixed the dependency for hv_blkvsc module on 64BIT kernel.
Thanks vrataj2 [vrataj2@comcast.net] for reporting this problem.
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
them. For some versions of gcc the "memory" clobber has apparently
dealt with the situation, but not for all.

NR_IRQS may be as low as 16, causing a (harmless?) buffer overflow in

...
if ((try < 32) && pcmcia_used_irq[irq])

This is read-only, so if this address would be non-zero, it would just
mean we would not attempt an IRQ >= NR_IRQS -- which would fail anyway!

is never reached as well.

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.

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
sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful.
So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds
for sched_clock.

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

actual deauthentications.

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of

Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.

When ath_tx_complete_aggr() is called, it's responsible for returning
all buffers in the linked list. This was not done when the STA lookup
failed, leading to a race condition that could leak a few buffers when
a STA just disconnected.
Fix this by immediately returning all buffers to the free list in this case.

The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.

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.

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.

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.
bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for
exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are
identical. This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393
__bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing
multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
those are serialized down in the call chain anyway. Fix it by always
allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.
This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
disk.

yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when

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.

It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.
We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.
Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:
