      agp: two-stage page destruction issue · da503fa6
      Jan Beulich authored
      besides it apparently being useful only in 2.6.24 (the changes in 2.6.25
      really mean that it could be converted back to a single-stage mechanism),
      I'm seeing an issue in Xen Dom0 kernels, which is caused by the calling
      of gart_to_virt() in the second stage invocations of the destroy function.
      I think that besides this being a real issue with Xen (where
      unmap_page_from_agp() is not just a page table attribute change), this
      also is invalid from a theoretical perspective: One should not assume that
      gart_to_virt() is still valid after unmapping a page. So minimally (keeping
      the 2-stage mechanism) a patch like the one below would be needed.

      fuse: fix thinko in max I/O size calucation · f948d564
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      Use max not min to enforce a lower limit on the max I/O size.
      
      This bug was introduced by "fuse: fix max i/o size calculation" (commit
      e5d9a0df).
      
      Thanks to Brian Wang for noticing.

      x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user() · 42a886af
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only
      really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not),
      but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how
      many bytes were copied from user space.
      
      And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would
      sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had.
      
      Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make
      this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string"
      instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this
      issue.
      
      To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared
      about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that
      doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write
      routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by
      avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug.
      
      In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only
      triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the
      behavior down to commit 08291429 ("mm:
      fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just
      enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple
      iovec's.
      
      That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the
      stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem.
      
      [ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines
        (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that
        was involved in showing this) have the right return values.
      
        We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the
        copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it
        to fail.  As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the
        limit case gracefully. ]
