The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data. If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways. Just don't do it. Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just format the array contents once. The only user of the u32_array interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end result is much simpler code without the bug.

u32_array_open() is racy when multiple threads read from a file with a seek position of zero, i.e. when two or more simultaneous reads are occurring after the non-seekable files are created. It is possible that file->private_data is double-freed because the threads races between kfree(file->private-data); and file->private_data = NULL; The fix is to only do format_array_alloc() when the file is opened and free it when it is closed. Note that because the file has always been non-seekable, you can't open it and read it multiple times anyway, so the data has always been generated just once. The difference is that now it is generated at open time rather than at the time of the first read, and that avoids the race.

fixes a resume regression on pre-r6xx asics. * 'drm-fixes-3.6' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux: drm/radeon: Prevent leak of scratch register on resume from suspend
-
Simon Kitching authored
Cards typically have 5-7 scratch registers; one of these is reserved for rdev->rptr_save_reg. Unfortunately the reservation is done in function r100_cp_init, which is called by all drivers except r600 - and this function is also invoked on resume from suspend. After several resumes, no scratch registers are free and graphics acceleration is disabled. Dmesg then reports either: *ERROR* radeon: cp failed to get scratch reg (-22). *ERROR* radeon: cp isn't working(-22). radeon 0000:01:00.0: failed initializing CP (-22). or: *ERROR* radeon: failed to get scratch reg (-22). *ERROR* radeon: failed testing IB on GFX ring (-22). *ERROR* ib ring test failed (-22). The chain of calls on boot for all except r600 is: radeon_init -> ... -> (rXXX_init) -> rXXX_startup -> r100_cp_init The chain of calls on resume for all except r600 is: rXXX_resume -> rXXX_startup -> r100_cp_init. R600 correctly allocates rptr_save_reg in r600_init (ie once only, not in resume). However moving the code into the init functions for all drivers means touching 4 drivers. So instead, this patch just adds a test in r100_cp_init to avoid reallocating on resume. As the rdev structure is allocated via kzalloc in radeon_driver_load_kms, and zero is not a valid registerid, zero safely implies not-yet-allocated.

As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT (so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR. The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables. Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching for BIOS SMP tables. This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6: 9f->100 for 1:1 PTE Freeing 9f-100 pfn range: 97 pages freed 1-1 mapping on 9f->100 .. snip.. e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable Xen: [mem 0x000000000009f400-0x00000000000fffff] reserved Xen: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000cfd1dfff] usable .. snip..

Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461. Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example 0x80140.

This reverts commit ca3b3faf. There was a plan to place ab8500_irq_get_virq() calls in each AB8500 child device prior to requesting an IRQ, but as we're no longer using Device Tree to collect our IRQ numbers, it's actually better to allow the core to do this during device registration time. So the IRQ number we pull from its resource has already been converted to a virtual IRQ.

powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on fidvid_mutex and sleeps. It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on 3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know. This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells me is the case. stable: ed48ece2 ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the behavior could be horrible.

Tejun Heo authored
The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the kthread die on each invocation. Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq which makes it simpler and way more efficient. stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this shouldn't break other existing users.

After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends), the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra): warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison. Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone, and that the result is still correct: i=-4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=-1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=0: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=0 i=1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 i=4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 Code size is the same as before.

NeilBrown authored
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to the integrity of an array. Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient. However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement' flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed. So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations). This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as introduced.

When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed. However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is wrong. So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary device is faulty. This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can confuse md and could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

This reverts commit 895e3c5c. While this patch seemed like a good idea and did help some workloads, it hurts other workloads. Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster, Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower. Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch is definitely negative. So revert it.

IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock deadlock. Commit c83ce989 ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit. The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too, which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry tree. This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag. IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

Since i.MX has SPARSE_IRQ enabled the i.MX25 timer is broken. This is because the internal irqs now start at an offset of NR_IRQS_LEGACY. The patch fixed this up, but missed the i.MX25 timer which used a hardcoded value instead of a define. This patch introduces a define for the timer irq and uses it. This is broken since introduced with 3.6-rc1: | commit 8842a9e2 | Author: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org> | Date: Thu Jun 14 11:16:14 2012 +0800 | | ARM: imx: enable SPARSE_IRQ for imx platform Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org>
