* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too

check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite event loop between the driver and userland event handler. As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after detecting the device doesn't support disk events.

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive, which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth between the driver and userland event handler. This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent generation is suppressed. This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it occured. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

This call was disabled as hot-unplugging one virtconsole port led to another virtconsole port freezing. Upon testing it again, this now works, so enable it. In addition, a bug was found in qemu wherein removing a port of one type caused the guest output from another port to stop working. I doubt it was just this bug that caused it (since disabling the hvc_remove() call did allow other ports to continue working), but since it's all solved now, we're fine with hot-unplugging of virtconsole ports.

In the case where a virtio-console port is in use (opened by a program) and a virtio-console device is removed, the port is kept around but all the virtio-related state is assumed to be gone. When the port is finally released (close() called), we call device_destroy() on the port's device. This results in the parent device's structures to be freed as well. This includes the PCI regions for the virtio-console PCI device. Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr); pci_release_regions(pci_dev); pci_disable_device(pci_dev); which results in a double-free warning. Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove() function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of the vp_dev.

When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be decremented as well. This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were just 'disowned'). qemu reported 'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256' when any IO was attempted on the new port.

Intel VT-d Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) are supposed to be disabled, on each VT-d engine, after DMA remapping is enabled on the engines. This is because the behavior of having both enabled is not deterministic and because, if TXT has been used to launch the kernel, the PMRs may be programmed to cover memory regions that will be used for DMA. Under some circumstances (certain quirks detected, lack of multiple devices, etc.), the current code does not set up DMA remapping on some VT-d engines. In such cases it also skips disabling the PMRs. This causes failures when the kernel is launched with TXT (most often this occurs on the graphics engine and results in colored vertical bars on the display). This patch detects when the kernel has been launched with TXT and then disables the PMRs on all VT-d engines. In some cases where the reason that remapping is not being enabled is due to possible ACPI DMAR table errors, the VT-d engine addresses may not be correct and thus not able to be safely programmed even to disable PMRs. Because part of the TXT launch process is the verification of these addresses, it will always be safe to disable PMRs if the TXT launch has succeeded and hence only doing this in such cases.

The cpu<->node mappings under CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y when NUMA emulation is enabled is currently broken because it does not iterate through every emulated node and bind cpus that have affinity to it. NUMA emulation should bind each cpu to every local node to accurately represent the true NUMA topology of the underlying machine. debug_cpumask_set_cpu() needs to be fixed at the same time so that the debugging information that it emits shows the new cpumask of the node being assigned when the cpu is being added or removed. It can now take responsibility of setting or clearing the cpu itself to remove the need for duplicate code. Also change its last parameter, "enable", to have the correct bool type since it can only be true or false. -v2: Fix the return statements, by Kosaki Motohiro Acked-and-Tested-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@googlemail.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.00.1104201918470.12634@chino.kir.corp.google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Andreas Herrmann reported that 7d6b4670 ("x86, NUMA: Fix fakenuma boot failure") causes certain physical NUMA topologies (for example AMD Magny-Cours) to move sibling cpus to a single node when in reality they are in separate domains. This may result in some nodes being completely void of cpus, which doesn't accurately represent the correct topology. The system will boot, but will have suboptimal NUMA performance. This commit was intended as a fix for NUMA emulation, but should not cause a regression for real NUMA machines as a side effect. ( There will be a separate fix for the numa-debug code, which will not affect physical topologies. ) Reported-by: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.00.1104201918110.12634@chino.kir.corp.google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

pg_start is copied from userspace on AGPIOC_BIND and AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl cmds of agp_ioctl() and passed to agpioc_bind_wrap(). As said in the comment, (pg_start + mem->page_count) may wrap in case of AGPIOC_BIND, and it is not checked at all in case of AGPIOC_UNBIND. As a result, user with sufficient privileges (usually "video" group) may generate either local DoS or privilege escalation.

page_count is copied from userspace. agp_allocate_memory() tries to check whether this number is too big, but doesn't take into account the wrap case. Also agp_create_user_memory() doesn't check whether alloc_size is calculated from num_agp_pages variable without overflow. This may lead to allocation of too small buffer with following buffer overflow. Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory exhaustion (AGPIOC_RESERVE and AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls). It is not checked whether requested pid is a pid of the caller (no check in agpioc_reserve_wrap()). Each allocation is limited to 16KB, though, there is no per-process limit. This might lead to OOM situation, which is not even solved in case of the caller death by OOM killer - the memory is allocated for another (faked) process.

An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no write permissions will fail with EACCES. A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory. The patch adds a conditional statement to check for create permissions only if the file doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Sachin S. Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial pagetable on x86_32. Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages. Fix the issue and improve the readability of the code providing two different implementation of mask_rw_pte for x86_32 and x86_64.

Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from older kernel) the field is removed from the output list. Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events (ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file). Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather than for each sample. v1 -> v2: - addressed comments from acme Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1302148460-570-1-git-send-email-daahern@cisco.comSigned-off-by: David Ahern <daahern@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

A raid0 array doesn't set 'dev_sectors' as each device might contribute a different number of sectors. So when converting to a RAID4 or RAID5 we need to set dev_sectors as they need the number.
