Backport of ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number. But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed. Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't guaranteed today anyway.

commit ef8aef55 in mainline Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Do not dereference iov if length is zero When msg_iovlen is zero we shouldn't try to dereference msg_iov. Right now the only thing that tries to do so is skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec. Since the total length should also be zero if msg_iovlen is zero, it's sufficient to check the total length there and simply return if it's zero.

commit 8ee4f391831cb96916a8e8a05f04b1c1d7dd30d8 in mainline. In testing our ESP/AH offload hardware, I discovered an issue with how AH handles mutable fields in IPv4. RFC 4302 (AH) states the following on the subject: For IPv4, the entire option is viewed as a unit; so even though the type and length fields within most options are immutable in transit, if an option is classified as mutable, the entire option is zeroed for ICV computation purposes. The current implementation does not zero the type and length fields, resulting in authentication failures when communicating with hosts that do (i.e. FreeBSD). I have tested record route and timestamp options (ping -R and ping -T) on a small network involving Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux hosts, with one router. In the presence of these options, the FreeBSD and Linux hosts (with the patch or with the hardware) can communicate. The Windows XP host simply fails to accept these packets with or without the patch. I have also been trying to test source routing options (using traceroute -g), but haven't had much luck getting this option to work *without* AH, let alone with.

commit e1f52208 in mainline. [IPv6]: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ip6_flush_pending_frames Some of skbs in sk->write_queue do not have skb->dst because we do not fill skb->dst when we allocate new skb in append_data(). BTW, I think we may not need to (or we should not) increment some stats when using corking; if 100 sendmsg() (with MSG_MORE) result in 2 packets, how many should we increment? If 100, we should set skb->dst for every queued skbs. If 1 (or 2 (*)), we increment the stats for the first queued skb and we should just skip incrementing OutDiscards for the rest of queued skbs, adn we should also impelement this semantics in other places; e.g., we should increment other stats just once, not 100 times. *: depends on the place we are discarding the datagram. I guess should just increment by 1 (or 2). Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This corresponds to upstream changesets e4630f9f and 32528d0f. [CRYPTO] blkcipher: Fix handling of kmalloc page straddling The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of the specified length that does not straddle a page. It has an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily. What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer that's sufficiently long for this operation. This patch fixes both problems.

The commit in Linus upstream git tree is f3da54ba. Fix race with shared tag queue maps There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps, users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug, though, as the stex smp users can attest. We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly. [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies all the required barriers. -- Linus ] Also see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7842Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Initialization of ohci1394 was broken according to one reporter if the driver was statically linked, i.e. not built as loadable module. Dmesg: PCI: Device 0000:02:07.0 not available because of resource collisions ohci1394: Failed to enable OHCI hardware. This was reported for a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503. The cause is commit 8df4083c in Linux 2.6.19-rc1 which only served purposes of early remote debugging via FireWire. This functionality is better provided by the currently out-of-tree driver ohci1394_earlyinit. Reversal of the commit was OK'd by Andi Kleen. Same as pre-2.6.23 commit be7963b7.

commit 0e2f6db8 in mainline. The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases. Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head of this list. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Acked-by: "J.

commit 179c85ea in mainline. The futex list traversal on the compat side appears to have a bug. It's loop termination condition compares: while (compat_ptr(uentry) != &head->list) But that can't be right because "uentry" has the special "pi" indicator bit still potentially set at bit 0. This is cleared by fetch_robust_entry() into the "entry" return value. What this seems to mean is that the list won't terminate when list iteration gets back to the the head. And we'll also process the list head like a normal entry, which could cause all kinds of problems. So we should check for equality with "entry". That pointer is of the non-compat type so we have to do a little casting to keep the compiler and sparse happy. The same problem can in theory occur with the 'pending' variable, although that has not been reported from users so far. Based on the original patch from David Miller.

commit 0ee6c15e in mainline. When we flush register state for FP, Altivec, or SPE in flush_*_to_thread we need to respect the task_struct that the caller has passed to us. Most cases we are called with current, however sometimes (ptrace) we may be passed a different task_struct. This showed up when using gdbserver debugging a simple program that used floating point. When gdb tried to show the FP regs they all showed up as 0, because the child's FP registers were never properly flushed to memory.

commit 60187d27 in mainline. Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>. collect_signal: sigqueue_free: list_del_init(&first->list); if (!list_empty(&q->list)) { // not taken } q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC; __sigqueue_free(first); __sigqueue_free(q); Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the obviously bad implications. In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue. Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see http://marc.info/?t=118766926500003 http://marc.info/?t=118466273000005 Alexey Dobriyan reports this patch makes the difference for the testcase, but nobody has an access to the application which opened the problems originally. Also, this patch removes tasklist lock/unlock, ->siglock is enough.

[TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg(). As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things. The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the socket, but we should never do that for TCP. Instead we should just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all of the necessary state and pending socket error checks. TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this merely brings sendmsg() in line with that. Signed-off-by: David S.

Theory : though needless, it should not have hurt. Practice: it does not play nice with DEBUG_SHIRQ + LOCKDEP + UP (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D242572).

Thus gcc thinks it doesn't need to initialize it, so result ends up undefined if the "unless" condition is true. This fixes an oops in sunrpc where the faulty atomics caused rpciod_up() to not start the workqueue as it should.

CPU time limit patch / setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, 0) cheat fix As discovered here today, the change in Kernel 2.6.17 intended to inhibit users from setting RLIMIT_CPU to 0 (as that is equivalent to unlimited) by "cheating" and setting it to 1 in such a case, does not make a difference, as the check is done in the wrong place (too late), and only applies to the profiling code. On all systems I checked running kernels above 2.6.17, no matter what the hard and soft CPU time limits were before, a user could escape them by issuing in the shell (sh/bash/zsh) "ulimit -t 0", and then the user's process was not ever killed. Attached is a trivial patch to fix that. Simply moving the check to a slightly earlier location (specifically, before the line that actually assigns the limit - *old_rlim = new_rlim), does the trick. Do note that at least the zsh (but not ash, dash, or bash) shell has the problem of "caching" the limits set by the ulimit command, so when running zsh the fix will not immediately be evident - after entering "ulimit -t 0", "ulimit -a" will show "-t: cpu time (seconds) 0", even though the actual limit as returned by getrlimit(...) will be 1. It can be verified by opening a subshell (which will not have the values of the parent shell in cache) and checking in it, or just by running a CPU intensive command like "echo '65536^1048576' | bc" and verifying that it dumps core after one second. Regardless of whether that is a misfeature in the shell, perhaps it would be better to return -EINVAL from setrlimit in such a case instead of cheating and setting to 1, as that does not really reflect the actual state of the process anymore. I do not however know what the ground for that decision was in the original 2.6.17 change, and whether there would be any "backward" compatibility issues, so I preferred not to touch that right now.

Strictly it's only needed for eax. It actually does a little more than strictly needed -- the other registers are already zero extended. Also remove the now unnecessary and non functional compat task check in ptrace.
