There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the
2.6.29.4 kernel.
mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the
not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be
able to talk to an ISA card. I have tested this, and removing the !
fixes the problem.

In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.
This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion. We were
concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.
I saw several error messages.
They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
actual problem.
Things like:
handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)
which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
except that I treat is as such because it normally is).
do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
/test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1
which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times. It's hard to
accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
to if the kernel module is doing its job.
There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
can't locate a log example just now.
When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
it is a mount point. But, if a mount successfully completed while we
slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
completed so the test is not really needed.
Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
callback to the daemon. Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
real mount at the base of the tree.

Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )
Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)
When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.
Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.
This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and
should be backported to stable versions.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure
independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit
d5a877e8dd), because it would report
the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and
pending async work.
This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem,
resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init',
causing a boot-time panic.
This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if
there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any
pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list.
There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one
also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and
the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if

We do that from new_inode, so it won't race with free_inode in any interesting

corruption a lookup) since both still will wait for I_LOCK.

The nobh_truncate_page() function is used by ext2, exofs, and jfs. Of
these three, only ext2 and jfs's get_block() function pays attention
to bh->b_size --- which is normally always the filesystem blocksize
except when the get_block() function is called by either
mpage_readpage(), mpage_readpages(), or the direct I/O routines in
fs/direct_io.c.
Unfortunately, nobh_truncate_page() does not initialize map_bh before
calling the filesystem-supplied get_block() function. So ext2 and jfs
will try to calculate the number of blocks to map by taking stack
garbage and shifting it left by inode->i_blkbits. This should be
*mostly* harmless (except the filesystem will do some unnneeded work)
unless the stack garbage is less than filesystem's blocksize, in which
case maxblocks will be zero, and the attempt to find out whether or
not the filesystem has a hole at a given logical block will fail, and
the page cache entry might not get zero'ed out.
Also if the stack garbage in in map_bh->state happens to have the
BH_Mapped bit set, there could be an attempt to call readpage() on a
non-existent page, which could cause nobh_truncate_page() to return an
error when it should not.
Fix this by initializing map_bh->state and map_bh->size.
Fortunately, it's probably fairly unlikely that ext2 and jfs users
mount with nobh these days.

Commit 95a3540da9 ("ptrace_detach: the wrong
wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") removed the "extra"
wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks
the compatibility.
I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many
ways, but GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always
wakes up the tracee.
Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic,
and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another
assumption: PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in
TASK_STOPPED case. Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and
call do_signal_stop() before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process().
Revert this change for now. We need some fixes even if we we want to keep
the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.

The "trace || CLONE_PTRACE" check in tracehook_report_clone() is not right,
- If the untraced task does clone(CLONE_PTRACE) the new child is not traced,
we must not queue SIGSTOP.
- If we forked the traced task, but the tracer exits and untraces both the
forking task and the new child (after copy_process() drops tasklist_lock),
we should not queue SIGSTOP too.
Change the code to check task_ptrace() != 0 instead. This is still racy, but
the race is harmless.
We can race with another tracer attaching to this child, or the tracer can
exit and detach in parallel. But giwen that we didn't do wake_up_new_task()
yet, the child must have the pending SIGSTOP anyway.

on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes,
the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an
mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a
read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write.
The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed
that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving
zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page.
The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the
process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the
kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more
memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes.
To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during
/dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
groups when searching for free blocks. It starts off with a hint
to help find the best block group for a given allocation.
The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing. If it is being
freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted. But,
the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
leading to all kinds of fun.
The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
is on the list before we use it. list_del_init is used when removing
it from the list, so we can do a proper check.
The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
the block group in the current free space cluster. If our allocation
flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
the old block group any more.
The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
current allocation flags.

We don't set up the canary; let's disable stack protector on boot.c so
we can get into lguest_init, then set it up. As a side effect,
switch_to_new_gdt() sets up %fs for us properly too.

This could be triggered by a gtt mapping fault on 965 that decides to
remove the fence from another object that happens to be active currently.
Since the other object doesn't rely on the fence reg for its execution, we
don't wait for it to finish. We'll soon be not waiting on 915 most of the
time as well, so just drop the BUG_ON.

Pascal reported and bisected a commit:
| x86/PCI: don't call e820_all_mapped with -1 in the mmconfig case
which broke one system system.
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: MCFG area at f0000000 reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Using MMCONFIG for extended config space
it didn't have
PCI: updated MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 63
anymore, and try to use 0xf000000 - 0xffffffff for mmconfig
For 32bit, mcfg_res->end could be 32bit only (if 64 resources aren't used)
So use end - 1 to pass the value in mcfg->end to avoid overflow.
We don't need to worry about the e820 path, they are always 64 bit.

A driver will use the _DRM_DRIVER map flag to indicate that it wants
to be responsible for removing the map itself, bypassing the DRM's
automagic cleanup code.
Since the multi-master changes this has been broken, resulting in some
drivers having their registers unmapped before it's finished with them.

Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the
connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while
reducing code duplication.
That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which
could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The
new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the
drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing
the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system.
This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes
and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.

allocating devname in the i915 driver was a hack originally and I
forgot to figure out how to do this properly back then.
So this is the cleaner version that just picks devname or driver name
in the irq code.
It removes the devname allocs from the i915 driver.

Especially with Sandisk SDHC cards, the second SWITCH command was failing
with a timeout and the card was not recognized at all. However if the
system was busy, or debugging was enabled, or a udelay(100) was inserted
before the second SWITCH command in the core code, then the timing was
so that the card started to work.
With some unusual block sizes, the data FIFO status doesn't indicate a
"empty" state right away when the data transfer is done. Queuing
another data transfer in that condition results in a transfer timeout.
The empty FIFO bit eventually get set by itself in less than 50 usecs
when it is not set right away. So let's just poll for that bit before
configuring the controller with a new data transfer.

Empirical evidences show that this is causing far more problems than it
solves when this mode is enabled in the host hardware. Amongst those
cards that are known to be non functional when this bit is set are:
A-Data "Speedy" 2GB SD card
Kodak 512MB SD card
Ativa 1GB MicroSD card
Marvell 8688 (WIFI/Bluetooth) SDIO card
Since those cards do work on other host controllers which do honnor the
hs timing, the issue must be with this particular host hardware.

disable_irq() should wait for all running handlers to complete
before returning. As such, if it's used to disable an interrupt
from that interrupt's handler it will deadlock. This replaces
the dangerous instances with the _nosync() variant which doesn't

Currently, whenever an erratum workaround is enabled, it will be
applied whether or not the erratum is relevent for the CPU. This
patch changes this - we check the variant and revision fields in the
main ID register to determine which errata to apply.
We also avoid re-applying erratum 460075 if it has already been applied.
Applying this fix in non-secure mode results in the kernel failing to
boot (or even do anything.)
This fixes booting on some ARMv7 based platforms which otherwise
silently fail.
