Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping. Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to KSM swapping in 2.6.33. Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then - if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon. If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed; then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again. We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443 "rmap: resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma. In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL. It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can). For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap() already excluded KSM pages.

Instead of waiting for the display line value to settle, we can simply wait for the pipe configuration register 'state' bit to turn off. Contrarywise, disabling the plane will not cause the display line value to stop changing, so instead we wait for the vblank interrupt bit to get set. And, we only do this when we're not about to wait for the pipe to turn off. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

While the display port is in training mode, vblank interrupts don't occur. Because we have to wait for the display port output to turn on before starting the training sequence, enable the output in 'normal' mode so that we can tell when a vblank has occurred, then start the training sequence.

flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of page tables. This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page tables for them (see paging_init()). This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the data cache is operating in WriteBack mode. To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any range in the page table mapped area. Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the page table mapped area only.

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73 will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the "containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write access, we can end up with memory corruption.

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.

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible. Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change. This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo. This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo. This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it. Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last() will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print two. By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the returned nents. Signed-off-by: Ira W.

cifs_reconnect_tcon is called from smb_init. After a successful reconnect, cifs_reconnect_tcon will call reset_cifs_unix_caps. That function will, in turn call CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo and CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo. Those functions also call smb_init. It's possible for the session and tcon reconnect to succeed, and then for another cifs_reconnect to occur before CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo or CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo to be called. That'll cause those functions to call smb_init and cifs_reconnect_tcon again, ad infinitum... Break the infinite recursion by having those functions use a new smb_init variant that doesn't attempt to perform a reconnect.
