70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we
ran into a NULL dereference in here:
int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc,
unsigned long from)
{
----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host;
It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below).
After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a
find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling
block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the
page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window
between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page
could get truncated and page->mapping cleared.
We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly
can be truncated.
I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the
trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been
running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not
seen this bug pop up again.

When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.
To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.
This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.
To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.
This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.

It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into
a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the
ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc.
Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes
waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear
and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called,
it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of
reading and goes nuts after it is woken.
Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops
by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed
that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and
allow the close then.
We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open
the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for
everybody to leave.
I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the
counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless
tty_ldisc_wait_idle.
On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to
reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup
path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.

There's a small window inside the flush_to_ldisc function,
where the tty is unlocked and calling ldisc's receive_buf
function. If in this window new buffer is added to the tty,
the processing might never leave the flush_to_ldisc function.
This scenario will hog the cpu, causing other tty processing
starving, and making it impossible to interface the computer
via tty.
I was able to exploit this via pty interface by sending only
control characters to the master input, causing the flush_to_ldisc
to be scheduled, but never actually generate any output.

When trying to grow an array by enlarging component devices,
rdev_size_store() expects the return value of rdev_size_change() to be
in sectors, but the actual value is returned in KBs.
Commit 4044ba58dd15cb01797c4fd034f39ef4a75f7cc3 supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error
during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in
an infinite loop.
However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
from the array. But that does not happen in this case. So add a test
so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.
This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when
recovery_disabled was introduced.

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

All event channels startbound to VCPU 0 so ensure that cpu_evtchn_mask
is initialised to reflect this. Otherwise there is a race after registering an
event channel but before the affinity is explicitly set where the event channel
can be delivered. If this happens then the event channel remains pending in the
L1 (evtchn_pending) array but is cleared in L2 (evtchn_pending_sel), this means
the event channel cannot be reraised until another event channel happens to
trigger the same L2 entry on that VCPU.
sizeof(cpu_evtchn_mask(0))==sizeof(unsigned long*) which is not correct, and
causes only the first 32 or 64 event channels (depending on architecture) to be
initially bound to VCPU0. Use sizeof(struct cpu_evtchn_s) instead.

The linker script cleanup that I did in commit 5d150a97f93 ("um: Clean up
linker script using standard macros.") (2.6.32) accidentally introduced an
ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.
I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
it is because previously
__init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext
and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
rest. So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
_sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols. But reverting the
accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
now.

When the initialization code in hpet finds a memory resource and does not
find an IRQ, it does not unmap the memory resource previously mapped.
There are buggy BIOSes which report resources exactly like this and what
is worse the memory region bases point to normal RAM. This normally would
not matter since the space is not touched. But when PAT is turned on,
ioremap causes the page to be uncached and sets this bit in page->flags.
Then when the page is about to be used by the allocator, it is reported
as:
BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:3ed00
page:ffffea0000dbd800 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0

...
2) there is no IRQ resource reported by HPET method. On the other
hand, the Intel HPET specs (1.0a) says (3.2.5.1):
_CRS (
// Report 1K of memory consumed by this Timer Block
memory range consumed
// Optional: only used if BIOS allocates Interrupts [1]
IRQs consumed
)
[1] For case where Timer Block is configured to consume IRQ0/IRQ8 AND
Legacy 8254/Legacy RTC hardware still exists, the device objects
associated with 8254 & RTC devices should not report IRQ0/IRQ8 as
"consumed resources".
So in theory we should check whether if it is the case and use those
interrupts instead.
Anyway the address reported by the BIOS here is bogus, so non-presence
of IRQ doesn't mean the "optional" part in point 2).
Since I got no reply previously, fix this by simply unmapping the space
when IRQ is not found and memory region was mapped previously. It would
be probably more safe to walk the resources again and unmap appropriately
depending on type. But as we now use only ioremap for both 2 memory
resource types, it is not necessarily needed right now.

Clearing the HPET interrupt enable bit disables interrupt generation
but does not disable the timer, so the interrupt status bit will still
be set when the timer elapses. If another interrupt arrives before
the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on
the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an
extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be
set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened.
Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and
stays cleared until we actually program the timer.

commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation)
added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port).
Problem is that following sequence :
fd = socket(...)
connect(fd, &remote, ...)
not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets
local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket
while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent)
Sequence is :
- autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables
[while local address is INADDR_ANY]
- connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP
given by a route lookup.
When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in
primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find
socket because its local address changed.
One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed.
We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and
implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper.
This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary
hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

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.

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.

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.

A few devices (such as the RCA VR5220 voice recorder) are so
non-compliant with the USB spec that they have invalid maxpacket sizes
for endpoint 0. Nevertheless, as long as we can safely use them, we
may as well do so.

high-speed devices to have ep0-maxpacket sizes other than 64. A

The bulk-read callback had two bugs:
a) The bulk-in packet's leading two zeros were returned (and the two last
bytes truncated)
b) The wrong URB was transmitted for the second (and later) read requests,
causing further reads to return the entire packet (including leading
zeros)
This patch (as1430) fixes a bug in usbcore. When a device
configuration change occurs or a device is removed, the endpoints for
the old config should be completely disabled. However it turns out
they aren't; this is because usb_unbind_interface() calls
usb_enable_interface() or usb_set_interface() to put interfaces back
in altsetting 0, which re-enables the interfaces' endpoints.
As a result, when a device goes through a config change or is
unconfigured, the ep_in[] and ep_out[] arrays may be left holding old
pointers to usb_host_endpoint structures. If the device is
deauthorized these structures get freed, and the stale pointers cause
errors when the the device is eventually unplugged.
The solution is to disable the endpoints after unbinding the
interfaces instead of before. This isn't as large a change as it
sounds, since usb_unbind_interface() disables all the interface's
endpoints anyway before calling the driver's disconnect routine,
unless the driver claims to support "soft" unbind.
This fixes Bugzilla #19192. Thanks to "Tom" Lei Ming for diagnosing
the underlying cause of the problem.

Why the separate patch? So git-bisect is your friend.
In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.
For example, have this mapping:
[W]
/ PDE1 -> |---|
P[W] | | LPA
\ PDE2 -> |---|
[R]
P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)
When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.
Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.
So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.
Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page
If the mapping is writable but the dirty flag is not set, we will find
the read-only direct sp and setup the mapping, then if the write #PF
occur, we will mark this mapping writable in the read-only direct sp,
now, other real read-only mapping will happily write it without #PF.
It may hurt guest's COW
Fixed by re-install the mapping when write #PF occur.
The copy of /proc/vmcore to a user buffer proceeds much faster

With this patch we have seen an increase in transfer rate from

transfer. This makes a big difference in time needed to save a
system dump.
Currently the redirection hint in the interrupt-remapping table entry
is set to 0, which means the remapped interrupt is directed to the
processors listed in the destination. So in logical flat mode
in the presence of intr-remapping, this results in a single
interrupt multi-casted to multiple cpu's as specified by the destination
bit mask. But what we really want is to send that interrupt to one of the cpus
based on the lowest priority delivery mode.
Set the redirection hint in the IRTE to '1' to indicate that we want
the remapped interrupt to be directed to only one of the processors
listed in the destination.
This fixes the issue of same interrupt getting delivered to multiple cpu's
in the logical flat mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping. While
there is no functional issue observed with this behavior, this will
impact performance of such configurations (<=8 cpu's using logical flat
mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping)
