Impact: rt-mutex failure case fix futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex held. This seems like the wrong thing to do as userspace should assume -EFAULT means the lock was not taken. Even if it could figure this out, we'd be leaving the pi_state->owner in an inconsistent state. This patch unlocks the rt_mutex prior to returning -EFAULT to userspace. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation. Passes basic pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime. Signed-off-by:

Impact: cleanup The futex code uses double_lock_hb() which locks the hb->lock's in pointer value order. There is no parallel unlock routine, and the code unlocks them in name order, ignoring pointer value. This patch adds double_unlock_hb() to refactor the duplicated code segments.

Impact: fix races futex_requeue and futex_lock_pi still had some bad (get|put)_futex_key() usage. This patch adds the missing put_futex_keys() and corrects a goto in futex_lock_pi() to avoid a double get. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.

Impact: cleanup The futex_hash_bucket can be a bit confusing when first looking at the code as it is a shared queue (and futex_q isn't a queue at all, but rather an element on the queue). The mmap_sem is no longer held outside of the futex_handle_fault() routine, yet numerous comments refer to it. The fshared argument is no an integer. I left some of these comments along as they are simply removed in future patches. Some of the commentary refering to futexes by virtual page mappings was not very clear, and completely accurate (as for shared futexes both the page and the offset are used to determine the key). For the purposes of the function description, just referring to "the futex" seems sufficient. With hashed futexes we now access the page after the hash-bucket is locked, and not only after it is enqueued. Signed-off-by:

The last 8 fence registers sit at a different offset, so when we went to set fence number 8 in the lower offset, we instead set PGETBL_CTL, and the GPU got all sorts of angry at us. fd.o bug #20567.

Comparing the layouts of struct detail_pixel_timing with x.org's struct detailed_timings and how those are handled, it appears that the hsync_positive and vsync_positive fields are backwards. This patch fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20019 for me. It was tested on 2 monitors, LG FLATRON L225WS 22" and a YAKUMO 17" for which more details are unknown. Signed-off-by:

radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became a source of problems of its own. The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes, GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc... In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early code path. I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call in early resume using a system state. In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions. Signed-off-by:Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would happen if not doing so. However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland. Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global 'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given parameter structure lookup. This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library. It was also reported ( but non solved ) at: http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2008-March/004050.htmlSigned-off-by:

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

get_nid_for_pfn() returns int Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened. We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink. The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole. That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of /sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the test to skip over uninitialized pages. I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because - systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized range of leading pages are probably rare. - memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem. - lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may have simply gone unnoticed.
