free_uid() and free_user_ns() are corecursive when CONFIG_USER_SCHED=n, but free_user_ns() is called from free_uid() by way of uid_hash_remove(), which requires uidhash_lock to be held. free_user_ns() then calls free_uid() to complete the destruction. Fix this by deferring the destruction of the user_namespace. Signed-off-by:

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
The PCI 2.x cells used on some 44x SoCs only let us configure the decode for the low 32-bit of the incoming PLB addresses. The top 4 bits (this is a 36-bit bus) are hard wired to different values depending on the specific SoC in use. Our code used to work "by accident" until I added support for the ISA memory holes and while at it added more validity checking of the addresses. This patch should bring it back to working condition. It still relies on the device-tree being correct but that's somewhat a pre-requisite for anything to work anyway. Signed-off-by:

In dlm_assert_master_handler(), if we get an incorrect assert master from a node that, we reply with EINVAL asking the asserter to die. The problem is that an assert is sent after so many hoops, it is invariably the node that thinks the asserter is wrong, is actually wrong. So instead of killing the asserter, this patch kills the assertee. This patch papers over a race that is still being addressed. Signed-off-by:

Mainline commit d4f7e650 attempts to delay the dlm_thread from sending the drop ref message if the lockres is being migrated. The problem is that we make the dlm_thread wait for the migration to complete. This causes a deadlock as dlm_thread also participates in the lockres migration process. A better fix for the original oss bugzilla#1012 is in testing. Signed-off-by:

It needs to happen before any firewire driver actually registers itself, and that was previously handled by having the Makefile list the core ieee1394 files before the drivers. But now there are firewire drivers in drivers/media, and the Makefile games aren't enough. So just make ieee1394_init happen earlier in the init sequence, the way all other bus layers already do.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit a4e22f02 ("powerpc: Update 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"). The same bug that existed in the 64bit memcpy() also exists here so fix it here too. The fix is the same as that applied to memcpy() with the addition of fixes for the exception handling code required for __copy_tofrom_user(). This stops us reading beyond the end of the source region we were told to copy. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a regression introduced by commit 25d6e2d7 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"). This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But, along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that. In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the original do_tail for the src_unaligned case. Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc00000003f380000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000039574 cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000003baf3020] pc: c000000000039574: .memcpy+0x74/0x244 lr: d00000000244916c: .ext3_xattr_get+0x288/0x2f4 [ext3] sp: c00000003baf32a0 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: c00000003f380000 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000003e54b010 paca = 0xc000000000a53680 pid = 1840, comm = readahead enter ? for help [link register ] d00000000244916c .ext3_xattr_get+0x288/0x2f4 [ext3] [c00000003baf32a0] d000000002449104 .ext3_xattr_get+0x220/0x2f4 [ext3] (unreliab le) [c00000003baf3390] d00000000244a6e8 .ext3_xattr_security_get+0x40/0x5c [ext3] [c00000003baf3400] c000000000148154 .generic_getxattr+0x74/0x9c [c00000003baf34a0] c000000000333400 .inode_doinit_with_dentry+0x1c4/0x678 [c00000003baf3560] c00000000032c6b0 .security_d_instantiate+0x50/0x68 [c00000003baf35e0] c00000000013c818 .d_instantiate+0x78/0x9c [c00000003baf3680] c00000000013ced0 .d_splice_alias+0xf0/0x120 [c00000003baf3720] d00000000243e05c .ext3_lookup+0xec/0x134 [ext3] [c00000003baf37c0] c000000000131e74 .do_lookup+0x110/0x260 [c00000003baf3880] c000000000134ed0 .__link_path_walk+0xa98/0x1010 [c00000003baf3970] c0000000001354a0 .path_walk+0x58/0xc4 [c00000003baf3a20] c000000000135720 .do_path_lookup+0x138/0x1e4 [c00000003baf3ad0] c00000000013645c .path_lookup_open+0x6c/0xc8 [c00000003baf3b70] c000000000136780 .do_filp_open+0xcc/0x874 [c00000003baf3d10] c0000000001251e0 .do_sys_open+0x80/0x140 [c00000003baf3dc0] c00000000016aaec .compat_sys_open+0x24/0x38 [c00000003baf3e30] c00000000000855c syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 Signed-off-by:
