Rozycki in the tip/x86/apic branch (confirmed by Márton), but those changes are too intrusive for v2.6.26 so we'll go for the less intrusive (repeated) revert now.

Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc. Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root filesystem at boot time. All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole. I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part. Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation): http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug. More memory gets the bug more rarely. Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail: Start from "mount_block_root", http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297 There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes. Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first string is no problem. But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the first in list. Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount. Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains a full page. The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()": http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540 Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault handler was not called. No problem. In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320 The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000. It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc". The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332 "vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault() got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282 No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup. This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also was not existing. The endless began... In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

Minor source code cleanup of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c. Move the definition of the groups of bits to page-flags.h. The purpose of this clean up is that the next patch will conditionally add a page flag to the groups. Doing that in a header file is cleaner than adding #ifdefs to the C code.

Commit 30f2f0eb ("block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>") extended blk_lookup_devt() to be able to look up partitions that had not yet been registered, but in the process made the assumption that the '&block_class.devices' list only contains disk devices and that you can do 'dev_to_disk(dev)' on them. That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a 'dev_to_disk()' on those. So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this file. [ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_ whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/25/25 and Ingo in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/9/39 ] Reported-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@nonada.if.usp.br> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In 2.6.26, we added some support for send with invalidate work requests, including a device capability flag to indicate whether a device supports such requests. However, the support was incomplete: the completion structure was not extended with a field for the key contained in incoming send with invalidate requests. Full support for memory management extensions (send with invalidate, local invalidate, fast register through a send queue, etc) is planned for 2.6.27. Since send with invalidate is not very useful by itself, just remove the IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV bit before the 2.6.26 final release; we will add an IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit in 2.6.27, which makes things simpler for applications, since they will not have quite as confusing an array of fine-grained bits to check.

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task -ever- used VMX. This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then "lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example) and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the registers containing values from some other task.

On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *)) will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(), since the code boils down to: while (npages) { ret = get_user_pages(...); npages -= ret; } Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of npages is never truncated. The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this, and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued. It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not. The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be pending packets which do not get sent. New semantics: tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being transferred right now set the flag right at the place where data are copied into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it was succesful tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments Tested-by: Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
