Prevent from recursively locking the reiserfs lock in reiserfs_unpack() because we may call journal_begin() that requires the lock to be taken only once, otherwise it won't be able to release the lock while taking other mutexes, ending up in inverted dependencies between the journal mutex and the reiserfs lock for example.

The reiserfs mutex already depends on the inode mutex, so we can't lock the inode mutex in reiserfs_unpack() without using the safe locking API, because reiserfs_unpack() is always called with the reiserfs mutex locked.

I moved couple years ago, so let's update my email and snail mail. And I do not have any access to Matrox hardware anymore, and I'm quite unresponsive to matroxfb bug reports (sorry Alan), so saying that I'm maintainer is a bit far fetched. For ncpfs I do not use ncpfs in my daily life either, but at least I can test that one, so I can stay listed here for odd fixes. Signed-off-by:

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73 will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the "containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write access, we can end up with memory corruption. Signed-off-by:

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete version of the semid_ds struct. The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the "sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers, allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory. The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl() newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of the struct.

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible. Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change. This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo. This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo. This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it. Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last() will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print two. By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the returned nents. Signed-off-by:

Avoid TLB flush IPIs for the cores in deeper c-states by voluntary leave_mm() before entering into that state. CPUs tend to flush TLB in those c-states anyways. acpi_idle does this with C3-type states, but it was not caried over when intel_idle was introduced. intel_idle can apply it to C-states in addition to those that ACPI might export as C3...

Commit c52c2ddc ("alpha: switch osf_sigprocmask() to use of sigprocmask()") had several problems. The more obvious compile issues got fixed in commit 0f44fbd2 ("alpha: fix compile problem in arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c"), but it also caused a regression. Since _BLOCKABLE is already the set of signals that can be blocked, the code should do "newmask & _BLOCKABLE" rather than inverting _BLOCKABLE before masking. Reported-by:

ocfs2 fast symlinks are NUL terminated strings stored inline in the inode data area. However, disk corruption or a local attacker could, in theory, remove that NUL. Because we're using strlen() (my fault, introduced in a731d1 when removing vfs_follow_link()), we could walk off the end of that string.

platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic. So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory which saves entry information of erst_tab. This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree. v2: Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using platform_device_add_data() Signed-off-by:Jin Dongming <jin.dongming@np.css.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:

Same situation applies to einj_tab->header_length, so corresponding table size checking is changed in similar way too. v2: - Treat both table size as valid Originally-by:

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to 30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the 50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be stuck on buffers that it could not push out. Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan- and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds, before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then things started going again. However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log. He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25% of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only 8MB? Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space. That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail. However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL first committing. The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt would occur. It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25% of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why delayed logging was tagged as experimental.... The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely. Signed-off-by:

In max8925_irq_sync_unlock(), irq control bit is set at the same time. Zero means enabling irq, and one means disabling irq. The original code is: irq_chg[0] &= irq_data->enable; It should be changed to: irq_chg[0] &= ~irq_data->enable; Otherwise, irq control bit is mess. Signed-off-by:
