[NETLINK]: Infinite recursion in netlink. Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel, which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow. The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared. The patch also makes some minimal cleanup: 1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing 2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet) 3. Put result of lookup Signed-off-by:

Revert e92a4d59. Dmitry points out "When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage." and "Unexpected file size increasing." Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different. For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks , but fs has only one free block. ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048) retry: ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here. ->ext3_prepare_failure() ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :) if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries)) goto retry; Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't help here. We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put things back the way they were for now.

2.6.21 fix lba48 bug in libata fill_result_tf() Current 2.6.21 libata does the following: void ata_tf_read(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf) { struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr; tf->command = ata_check_status(ap); ... if (tf->flags & ATA_TFLAG_LBA48) { iowrite8(tf->ctl | ATA_HOB, ioaddr->ctl_addr); tf->hob_feature = ioread8(ioaddr->error_addr); ... } } ... static void fill_result_tf(struct ata_queued_cmd *qc) { struct ata_port *ap = qc->ap; ap->ops->tf_read(ap, &qc->result_tf); qc->result_tf.flags = qc->tf.flags; } Based on this, those last two statements fill_result_tf() appear to me to be in the wrong order, in that the tf->flags are uninitialized at the point where tf_read() is invoked. So for lba48 commands, tf_read() won't be reading back the full lba48 register contents.. Correct? This patch corrects fill_result_tf() so that the flags get copied to result_tf before they are used by tf_read(). Signed-off-by:Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by:

ahci.c: walkaround for SB600 SATA internal error issue There is a HW issue in ATI SB600 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be set on some conditions, for example, when there is no media in SATA CD/DVD drive or media is not ready, AHCI controller fails to execute ATAPI commands and reports PORT_IRQ_TF_ERR, but ATI SB600 SATA controller sets PxSERR.E at the same time, which is not necessary. This patch is just to ignore the INTERNAL ERROR in such case. Without this patch, ahci error handler will report many errors as below: ----------- cut from dmesg ----------- ata9: soft resetting port ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata9.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata9: EH complete ata9.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x800 action 0x2 ata9.00: (irq_stat 0x40000001) ata9.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 0 res 51/24:03:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x40 (internal error) ata9: soft resetting port ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata9.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata9: EH complete ata9.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x800 action 0x2 ata9.00: (irq_stat 0x40000001) ata9.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x43 data 12 in res 51/24:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x40 (internal error) -------- end cut --------- Signed-off-by:Conke Hu <conke.hu@amd.com> Signed-off-by:

[PATCH] softmac: avoid assert in ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate Unconfigured bcm43xx device can hit an assert() during wx_get_rate queries. This is because bcm43xx calls ieee80211softmac_start late (i.e. during open instead of probe). bcm43xx_net_open -> bcm43xx_init_board -> bcm43xx_select_wireless_core -> ieee80211softmac_start Fix is to check that device is running before completing ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate.

ide: use correct IDE error recovery IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set. This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLEà IMMEDIATE when drive is not busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to recover using this error handling). The correct thing to do is issue a SRST followed by a SET FEATURES command. This is what Western Digital recommends for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does. à Ità also does not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell. Bart: * port the patch over the current tree * undo the recalibration code removal * send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status * don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK} type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests * some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are no pending drive->special requests * update comments and patch description * any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-) Signed-off-by:Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Acked-by:

[TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by:

[SCSI]: Fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd scatterlist handling This fixes a regression caused by commit: 2dc611de The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got. Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up in the sense buffer. Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers are on sparc64: default: printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name); __scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd); scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr); err = -EIO; This is the error Tom Callaway reported in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2 Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

HID: Do not discard truncated input reports Truncated reports should not be discarded since it prevents buggy devices from communicating with userspace. Prior to the regession introduced in 2.6.20, a shorter-than-expected report in hid_input_report() was passed thru after having the missing bytes cleared. This behavior was established over a few patches in the 2.6.early-teens days, including commit cd610457. This patch restores the previous behavior and fixes the regression. Signed-off-by:

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomic by moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later. Signed-off-by:

Commit 2e3646e5 changed the way the split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep accordingly - if changing a config option from or to m, files referencing the respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the corresponding CONFIG_...) didn't get rebuilt. The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three different symbols: SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1' SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1' But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case, so only the =y case is honoured. This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with _MODULE is found we skip that part and only look for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version. Signed-off-by:

When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says, we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch. This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim, effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg format: <Appletalk Killer> { # Ethernet header ----- XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC 00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC 00 1D # Length # LLC header ----- AA AA 03 08 00 07 80 9B # Appletalk # Appletalk header ----- 00 1B # Packet length (invalid) 00 01 # Fake checksum 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source networks 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source nodes and ports # Payload ----- 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 } The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim. The severity is mitigated by two requirements: * The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I suspect this isn't so frequent. * AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP. The bug has been reported back in June 2004: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979 But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both reporters had vanished meanwhile. This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2 And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels 2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are affected. Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the faulty frame from the network. Signed-off-by:Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by:
