The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 makes
csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However,
csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck
and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is
supposed not to check pointer validity.
This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk
data are printed to ssh terminal.
This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so
that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space
addresses.

A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.
The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.
Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.
By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

The code in remove_cache_dir() is supposed to remove the "cache"
subdirectory from the sysfs directory for a CPU when that CPU is
being offlined. It tries to do this by calling kobject_put() on
the kobject for the subdirectory. However, the subdirectory only
gets removed once the last reference goes away, and the reference
being put here may well not be the last reference. That means
that the "cache" subdirectory may still exist when the offlining
operation has finished. If the same CPU subsequently gets onlined,
the code tries to add a new "cache" subdirectory. If the old
subdirectory has not yet been removed, we get a WARN_ON in the
sysfs code, with stack trace, and an error message printed on the
console. Further, we ultimately end up with an online cpu with no
"cache" subdirectory.
This fixes it by doing an explicit kobject_del() at the point where
we want the subdirectory to go away. kobject_del() removes the sysfs
directory even though the object still exists in memory. The object
will get freed at some point in the future. A subsequent onlining
operation can create a new sysfs directory, even if the old object
still exists in memory, without causing any problems.

There is currently no facility in ACPI to express the hookup of voltage
regulators, the expectation is that the regulators that exist in the
system will be handled transparently by firmware if they need software
control at all. This means that if for some reason the regulator API is
enabled on such a system it should assume that any supplies that devices
need are provided by the system at all relevant times without any software
intervention.
Tell the regulator core to make this assumption by calling
regulator_has_full_constraints(). Do this as soon as we know we are using
ACPI so that the information is available to the regulator core as early
as possible. This will cause the regulator core to pretend that there is
an always on regulator supplying any supply that is requested but that has
not otherwise been mapped which is the behaviour expected on a system with
ACPI.
Should the ability to specify regulators be added in future revisions of
ACPI then once we have support for ACPI mappings in the kernel the same
assumptions will apply. It is also likely that systems will default to a
mode of operation which does not require any interpretation of these
mappings in order to be compatible with existing operating system releases
so it should remain safe to make these assumptions even if the mappings
exist but are not supported by the kernel.

dma_pte_free_level() has an off-by-one error when checking whether a pte
is completely covered by a range. Take for example the case of
attempting to free pfn 0x0 - 0x1ff, ie. 512 entries covering the first
2M superpage.
The level_size() is 0x200 and we test:
static void dma_pte_free_level(...
...
if (!(0 > 0 || 0x1ff < 0 + 0x200)) {
...
}
Clearly the 2nd test is true, which means we fail to take the branch to
clear and free the pagetable entry. As a result, we're leaking
pagetables and failing to install new pages over the range.
This was found with a PCI device assigned to a QEMU guest using vfio-pci
without a VGA device present. The first 1M of guest address space is
mapped with various combinations of 4K pages, but eventually the range
is entirely freed and replaced with a 2M contiguous mapping.
intel-iommu errors out with something like:
In this case 5c2b8003 is the pointer to the previous leaf page that was
neither freed nor cleared and 849c00083 is the superpage entry that
we're trying to replace it with.

For some reason, some early WD drives spin up and down drives
erratically when the link is put into slumber mode which can reduce
the life expectancy of the device significantly. Unfortunately, we
don't have full list of devices and given the nature of the issue it'd
be better to err on the side of false positives than the other way
around. Let's disable LPM on all WD devices which match one of the
known problematic model prefixes and are SATA-I.
As horkage list doesn't support matching SATA capabilities, this is
implemented as two horkages - WD_BROKEN_LPM and NOLPM. The former is
set for the known prefixes and sets the latter if the matched device
is SATA-I.
Note that this isn't optimal as this disables all LPM operations and
partial link power state reportedly works fine on these; however, the
way LPM is implemented in libata makes it difficult to precisely map
libata LPM setting to specific link power state. Well, these devices
are already fairly outdated. Let's just disable whole LPM for now.

When a cpu is downed on a system, the irqs on the cpu are assigned to
other cpus. It is possible, however, that when a cpu is downed there
aren't enough free vectors on the remaining cpus to account for the
vectors from the cpu that is being downed.
This results in an interesting "overflow" condition where irqs are
"assigned" to a CPU but are not handled.
For example, when downing cpus on a 1-64 logical processor system:
(last lines keep repeating. ixgbe driver is dead until module reload.)
If the downed cpu has more vectors than are free on the remaining cpus on the
system, it is possible that some vectors are "orphaned" even though they are
assigned to a cpu. In this case, since the ixgbe driver had a watchdog, the
watchdog fired and notified that something was wrong.
This patch adds a function, check_vectors(), to compare the number of vectors
on the CPU going down and compares it to the number of vectors available on
the system. If there aren't enough vectors for the CPU to go down, an
error is returned and propogated back to userspace.

v3: Need to check affinity to prevent counting of MSIs in IOAPIC Lowest

Before a write starts we set a bit in the write-intent bitmap.
When the write completes we clear that bit if the write was successful
to all devices. However if the write wasn't fully successful we
should not clear the bit. If the faulty drive is subsequently
re-added, the fact that the bit is still set ensure that we will
re-write the data that is missing.
This logic is mediated by the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag - we only clear the
bitmap bit when this flag is not set.
Currently we correctly set the flag if a write starts when some
devices are failed or missing. But we do *not* set the flag if some
device failed during the write attempt.
This is wrong and can result in clearing the bit inappropriately.
So: set the flag when a write fails.
This bug has been present since bitmaps were introduces, so the fix is
suitable for any -stable kernel.

This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is

The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a

calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).
To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.
The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is

The function tracer uses preempt_disable/enable_notrace() for
synchronization between reading registered ftrace_ops and unregistering
them.
Most of the ftrace_ops are global permanent structures that do not
require this synchronization. That is, ops may be added and removed from
the hlist but are never freed, and wont hurt if a synchronization is
missed.
But this is not true for dynamically created ftrace_ops or control_ops,
which are used by the perf function tracing.
The problem here is that the function tracer can be used to trace
kernel/user context switches as well as going to and from idle.
Basically, it can be used to trace blind spots of the RCU subsystem.
This means that even though preempt_disable() is done, a
synchronize_sched() will ignore CPUs that haven't made it out of user
space or idle. These can include functions that are being traced just
before entering or exiting the kernel sections.
To implement the RCU synchronization, instead of using
synchronize_sched() the use of schedule_on_each_cpu() is performed. This
means that when a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, or a control ops is
being unregistered, all CPUs must be touched and execute a ftrace_sync()
stub function via the work queues. This will rip CPUs out from idle or
in dynamic tick mode. This only happens when a user disables perf
function tracing or other dynamically allocated function tracers, but it
allows us to continue to debug RCU and context tracking with function
tracing.

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm
kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before
deallocating the mapped_device structure.
The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped
via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which
is embedded in the mapped_device structure).
This is the sequence of operations:
* when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit
* wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the
release method is called
* the release method signals the completion and should return without
delay
* the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues
* the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had
* the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that
contains the kobject
Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread:

Tegra chips have 4 or 5 identical UART modules embedded. UARTs C..E have
their MODEM-control signals tied off to a static state. However UARTs A
and B can optionally route those signals to/from package pins, depending
on the exact pinmux configuration.
When these signals are not routed to package pins, false interrupts may
trigger either temporarily, or permanently, all while not showing up in
the IIR; it will read as NO_INT. This will eventually lead to the UART
IRQ being disabled due to unhandled interrupts. When this happens, the
kernel may print e.g.:
irq 68: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
In order to prevent this, enable UART_BUG_NOMSR. This prevents
UART_IER_MSI from being enabled, which prevents the false interrupts
from triggering.
In practice, this is not needed under any of the following conditions:
* On Tegra chips after Tegra30, since the HW bug has apparently been
fixed.
* On UARTs C..E since their MODEM control signals are tied to the correct
static state which doesn't trigger the issue.
* On UARTs A..B if the MODEM control signals are routed out to package
pins, since they will then carry valid signals.
However, we ignore these exceptions for now, since they are only relevant
if a board actually hooks up more than a 4-wire UART, and no currently
supported board does this. If we ever support a board that does, we can
refine the algorithm that enables UART_BUG_NOMSR to take those exceptions
into account, and/or read a flag from DT/... that indicates that the
board has hooked up and pinmux'd more than a 4-wire UART.

Genuine FTDI chips support only CS7/8. A previous fix in commit 8704211f65a2 ("USB: ftdi_sio: fixed handling of unsupported CSIZE

The USB storage operation of Nokia Asha 502 Dual SIM smartphone running Asha
Platform 1.1.1 is unreliable in respect of data consistency (i.e. transfered

http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Asha-and-other-Nokia-Series-30/Nokia-301-USB-transfers-and-corrupted-files/td-p/1974170
The workaround is (MAX_SECTORS_64):

The patch adds the tested device to the unusual list permanently.
Some PL2303 devices are known to lose bytes if you change serial
settings even to the same values as before. Avoid this by comparing the
encoded settings with the previsouly used ones before configuring the
device.
The common case was fixed by commit bf5e5834bffc6 ("pl2303: Fix mode
switching regression"), but this problem was still possible to trigger,
for instance, by using the TCSETS2-interface to repeatedly request
115201 baud, which gets mapped to 115200 and thus always triggers a
settings update.

I can't see any other reason for having a mutex there at I2C, except
to provide such kind of protection, as the I2C core already has a
mutex to protect I2C transfers.
Note: instead of this approach, it could eventually remove the dib8000

to manually control the I2C mutex. The main advantage of the current
approach is that the changes are smaller and more puntual.

The issue below was found in 2.6.34-rt rather than mainline rt
kernel, but the issue still exists upstream as well.
So please let me describe how it was noticed on 2.6.34-rt:
On this version, each softirq has its own thread, it means there
is at least one RT FIFO task per cpu. The priority of these
tasks is set to 49 by default. If user launches an RT FIFO task
with priority lower than 49 of softirq RT tasks, it's possible
there are two RT FIFO tasks enqueued one cpu runqueue at one
moment. By current strategy of balancing RT tasks, when it comes
to RT tasks, we really need to put them off to a CPU that they
can run on as soon as possible. Even if it means a bit of cache
line flushing, we want RT tasks to be run with the least latency.
When the user RT FIFO task which just launched before is
running, the sched timer tick of the current cpu happens. In this
tick period, the timeout value of the user RT task will be
updated once. Subsequently, we try to wake up one softirq RT
task on its local cpu. As the priority of current user RT task
is lower than the softirq RT task, the current task will be
preempted by the higher priority softirq RT task. Before
preemption, we check to see if current can readily move to a
different cpu. If so, we will reschedule to allow the RT push logic
to try to move current somewhere else. Whenever the woken
softirq RT task runs, it first tries to migrate the user FIFO RT
task over to a cpu that is running a task of lesser priority. If
migration is done, it will send a reschedule request to the found
cpu by IPI interrupt. Once the target cpu responds the IPI
interrupt, it will pick the migrated user RT task to preempt its
current task. When the user RT task is running on the new cpu,
the sched timer tick of the cpu fires. So it will tick the user
RT task again. This also means the RT task timeout value will be
updated again. As the migration may be done in one tick period,
it means the user RT task timeout value will be updated twice
within one tick.
If we set a limit on the amount of cpu time for the user RT task
by setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTTIME), the SIGXCPU signal should be posted
upon reaching the soft limit.
But exactly when the SIGXCPU signal should be sent depends on the
RT task timeout value. In fact the timeout mechanism of sending
the SIGXCPU signal assumes the RT task timeout is increased once
every tick.
However, currently the timeout value may be added twice per
tick. So it results in the SIGXCPU signal being sent earlier
than expected.
To solve this issue, we prevent the timeout value from increasing
twice within one tick time by remembering the jiffies value of
last updating the timeout. As long as the RT task's jiffies is
different with the global jiffies value, we allow its timeout to
be updated.

Commit 7cb2ef56e6a8 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page->private field.
Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.
The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.
A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).
By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:
I am working with a tool that simulates oracle database I/O workload.
This tool (orion to be specific -
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/iodesign.htm#autoId24>)
allocates hugetlbfs pages using shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag. It then
does aio into these pages from flash disks using various common block
sizes used by database. I am looking at performance with two of the most
common block sizes - 1M and 64K. aio performance with these two block
sizes plunged after Transparent HugePages was introduced in the kernel.
Here are performance numbers:
I have narrowed the performance impact down to the overheads introduced by
THP in __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() routines. perf top shows
>40% of cycles being spent in these two routines. Every time direct I/O
to hugetlbfs pages starts, kernel calls get_page() to grab a reference to
the pages and calls put_page() when I/O completes to put the reference
away. THP introduced significant amount of locking overhead to get_page()
and put_page() when dealing with compound pages because hugepages can be
split underneath get_page() and put_page(). It added this overhead
irrespective of whether it is dealing with hugetlbfs pages or transparent
hugepages. This resulted in 20%-45% drop in aio performance when using
hugetlbfs pages.
Since hugetlbfs pages can not be split, there is no reason to go through
all the locking overhead for these pages from what I can see. I added
code to __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() to bypass all the
locking code when working with hugetlbfs pages. This improved performance
significantly. Performance numbers with this patch:
Performance with 64K read is still lower than what it was before THP, but
still a 53% improvement. It does mean there is more work to be done but I
will take a 53% improvement for now.
Please take a look at the following patch and let me know if it looks
reasonable.

On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from
S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization:
Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1
process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1
CPU1 is up
...
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3
Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS
vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming.
The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs
to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but
firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram
the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be
written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is
implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during
IBS setup.
This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding
resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset
reinitialization.
Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in
active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is
possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.
The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:
nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean
Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:
The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.
This is what happens:
1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
allocates a new segment
6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
8. Loop around and the collection starts again
9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
segment and causes file system corruption
This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If

When the core number exceeds 9, the size of the buffer storing the
alarm attribute name is insufficient and the attribute name is
truncated. This causes libsensors to skip these attributes as the
truncated name is not recognized.

added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad
block rather than fail the whole recovery.
Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather
than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio.
This is will crash with a null dereference.
So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.
If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and
potentially read some of it from a different device.
The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10.
1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!!
2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly
seen by comparison with raid1.c
This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10
ever had known bad blocks.
Fixed a crash in an overly simplistic way which could leave
R5_WriteError or R5_MadeGood set in the stripe cache for devices
for which it is no longer relevant.
When those devices are removed and spares added the flags are still
set and can cause incorrect behaviour.
Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files. I was not able to recreate this via normal files. But I'm not
sure they are safe. It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.
What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().
The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct. Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here. (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).
Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand. A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback. But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work. For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel. If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.
Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative. Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.
This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE. With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.
Kudos to Paulus for finding this.

The clockevents code was being told that the footbridge clock event
device ticks at 16x the rate which it actually does. This leads to
timekeeping problems since it allows the clocksource to wrap before
the kernel notices. Fix this by using the correct clock.

selinux_setprocattr() does ptrace_parent(p) under task_lock(p),
but task_struct->alloc_lock doesn't pin ->parent or ->ptrace,
this looks confusing and triggers the "suspicious RCU usage"
warning because ptrace_parent() does rcu_dereference_check().
And in theory this is wrong, spin_lock()->preempt_disable()
doesn't necessarily imply rcu_read_lock() we need to access
the ->parent.

The missing casts can cause the high 64-bits of the physical blocks to
be lost. Set up new macros which allows us to make sure the right
thing happen, even if at some point we end up supporting larger
logical block numbers.

Certain dm962x revisions contain an bug, where if a USB bulk transfer retry
(E.G. if bulk crc mismatch) happens right after a transfer with odd or
maxpacket length, the internal tx hardware fifo gets out of sync causing
the interface to stop working.
Work around it by adding up to 3 bytes of padding to ensure this situation
cannot trigger.
This workaround also means we never pass multiple-of-maxpacket size skb's
to usbnet, so the length adjustment to handle usbnet's padding of those can
be removed.

...the problem is that the receive path falls back to cpu-copy in
several locations and this trace is just one of the areas. A few
options were considered to fix this:
1/ sync all dma whenever a cpu copy branch is taken
2/ modify the page fault handler to hold off while dma is in-flight
Option 1 adds yet more cpu overhead to an "offload" that struggles to compete
with cpu-copy. Option 2 adds checks for behavior that is already documented as
broken when using get_user_pages(). At a minimum a debug mode is warranted to
catch and flag these violations of the dma-api vs get_user_pages().
Thanks to David for his reproducer.

If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with
a SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi
call. This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of
the options as having an optional_argument when they really have a
required argument. We change the structure to use required_argument to
match the short options and it resolves the issue.
