commit 14216561 upstream. This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem. SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2) if the device is in the stopped state as the result of processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED; mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive. This bit us badly because commit 85ef06d1 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2) Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command) resulting in lots of failed commands. The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we have to work around it. The fix for this is twofold: 1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been suspended 2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

commit bd8d6dd4 upstream. The following patch moves the poll_aen_lock initializer from megasas_probe_one() to megasas_init(). This prevents a crash when a user loads the driver and tries to issue a poll() system call on the ioctl interface with no adapters present. Signed-off-by:

mpt2sas: Fix for Driver oops, when loading driver with max_queue_depth command line option to a very small value commit 338b131a upstream. If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned 16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request. So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either (max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global credits. Signed-off-by:

commit 54f32a35 upstream. Calling the dmtimer function omap_dm_timer_set_source() fails if following a call to pm_runtime_put() to disable the timer. For example the following sequence would fail to set the parent clock ... omap_dm_timer_stop(gptimer); omap_dm_timer_set_source(gptimer, OMAP_TIMER_SRC_32_KHZ); The following error message would be seen ... omap_dm_timer_set_source: failed to set timer_32k_ck as parent The problem is that, by design, pm_runtime_put() simply decrements the usage count and returns before the timer has actually been disabled. Therefore, setting the parent clock failed because the timer was still active when the trying to set the parent clock. Setting a parent clock will fail if the clock you are setting the parent of has a non-zero usage count. To ensure that this does not fail use pm_runtime_put_sync() when disabling the timer. Note that this will not be seen on OMAP1 devices, because these devices do not use the clock framework for dmtimers. Signed-off-by:

commit bba3d8c3 upstream. The following build error occured during a parisc build with swap-over-NFS patches applied. net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks') net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant Dave Anglin says: > Here is the line in sock.i: > > struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled = > ((atomic_t) { (0) }) }); The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a constant expression. The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must consist of constant expressions. Reported-by:

commit fe35004f upstream. Sometimes we'd like to avoid swapping out anonymous memory. In particular, avoid swapping out pages of important process or process groups while there is a reasonable amount of pagecache on RAM so that we can satisfy our customers' requirements. OTOH, we can control how aggressive the kernel will swap memory pages with /proc/sys/vm/swappiness for global and /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.swappiness for each memcg. But with current reclaim implementation, the kernel may swap out even if we set swappiness=0 and there is pagecache in RAM. This patch changes the behavior with swappiness==0. If we set swappiness==0, the kernel does not swap out completely (for global reclaim until the amount of free pages and filebacked pages in a zone has been reduced to something very very small (nr_free + nr_filebacked < high watermark)).

commit 483001c7 upstream. blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail. 1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is full, the q->request_fn() will not be called. blk_drain_queue() { while(true) { ... if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) __blk_run_queue(q) { if (queue is not stoped) q->request_fn() } ... } } Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done(). 2) In commit b79d866c, We abort requests dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the drain process.

commit 02e2b124 upstream. del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the /sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is trying to read it. virtblk_remove() vdev->config->reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt del_gendisk() device_del() kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero sysfs_open_file(): user space process read /sys/block/vda/serial sysfs_get_active() : got sysfs entry ref count dev_attr_show() virtblk_serial_show() blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled request cannot be finished This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be finished and del_gendisk() will success. This fixes another race in hot-unplug process. It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).

commit b79d866c upstream. If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail. blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not finish. How to reproduce the race: 1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device 2. keep reading/writing the device in guest 3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O Test: ~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch. Changes in v3: - Drop blk_abort_queue and blk_abort_request - Use __blk_end_request_all to complete request dispatched to driver Changes in v2: - Drop req_in_flight - Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver Signed-off-by:

It will then cause the config work to run during or after reset. Two problems with this: - if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free - access of config while reset is in progress is racy (as layout is changing). As a solution 1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts 2. add a flag to disable config access before reset Signed-off-by:

commit cbc96b75 upstream. Many platforms have per-machine instance data (serial numbers, asset tags, etc.) squirreled away in areas that are accessed during early system bringup. Mixing this data into the random pools has a very high value in providing better random data, so we should allow (and even encourage) architecture code to call add_device_randomness() from the setup_arch() paths. However, this limits our options for internal structure of the random driver since random_initialize() is not called until long after setup_arch(). Add a big fat comment to rand_initialize() spelling out this requirement. Suggested-by:

commit 44e4360f upstream. /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id can be read concurrently by userspace processes. If two (or more) user-space processes concurrently read boot_id when sysctl_bootid is not yet assigned, a race can occur making boot_id differ between the reads. Because the whole point of the boot id is to be unique across a kernel execution, fix this by protecting this operation with a spinlock. Given that this operation is not frequently used, hitting the spinlock on each call should not be an issue. Signed-off-by:

commit 676ce6d5 upstream. Commit 91f68c89 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow") is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to __find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there. Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595: inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console, which pointed to this commit. I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7 itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between 18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2). (I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.) Revert 91f68c89, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers() and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()), returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case. And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird" comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the following chain of events: alloc_page_buffers(): bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS); if (!bh) goto no_grow; <= path taken grow_dev_page(): bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0); if (!bh) goto failed; <= taken, consequence of the above and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel. The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box. Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just too much. As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then. Signed-off-by:

commit 3670e7e1 upstream. Make sure that there is no doorbell messages left behind due to disabled interrupts during inbound doorbell processing. The most common case for this bug is loss of rionet JOIN messages in systems with three or more rionet participants and MSI or MSI-X enabled. As result, requests for packet transfers may finish with "destination unreachable" error message. This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.2. Signed-off-by:

commit 7dbfb315 upstream. Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the modulo 12. [ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did. Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly - included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define. So it's really subtracting out that bit to get "hour+12". But then because it does things modulo 12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway. This code is confused. It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't need to do the silly subtract either. Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same. - Linus ] Reported-by:

commit 7838f994 upstream. On many of our larger systems, CPU 0 has had all of its IRQ resources consumed before XPC loads. Worst cases on machines with multiple 10 GigE cards and multiple IB cards have depleted the entire first socket of IRQs. This patch makes selecting the node upon which IRQs are allocated (as well as all the other GRU Message Queue structures) specifiable as a module load param and has a default behavior of searching all nodes/cpus for an available resources.

commit eb48c071 upstream. Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount remains the same. If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by Larry Woodman: kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:135! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 22 Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc binfmt_misc dcdbas microcode pcspkr acpi_pad acpi] Pid: 18001, comm: mpitest Tainted: G W 3.3.0+ #4 Dell Inc.

The logic is if the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this diagram: parent | ------------>pmd src_pte----------> data page ^ other--------->pmd--------------------| ^ child-----------| dst_pte For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is possible due to the following style of race. PROC A PROC B copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset !src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing (time passes) hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) pmd_alloc pmd_alloc LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient. As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in (harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a shared page table leading to the BUG_ON. This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud and pmd populated together. Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman. {akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to make the huge_pmd_share() comment comprehensible, clean up coding style] Reported-by:

commit d8636a27 upstream. So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of days to finding the problem. Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer message and that was all. So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race. Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread) unbind_con_driver -> | bind_con_driver -> | vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> | fbcon_deinit -> | console_lock() | | | | fbcon_flashcursor timer fires | console_lock() <- blocked for A | | fbcon_del_cursor_timer -> del_timer_sync (BOOM) Of course because all of this is under the console lock, we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active console guess what we never see anything. Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms driver handoff. v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan. Signed-off-by:

commit d10f27a7 upstream. The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply before it receives a request. It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket. Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not space, it then subtracts the estimate back out. This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is space after all. The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing server threads to loop without doing any actual work. Reported-by:

commit f06f00a2 upstream. svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply. However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look to the client like further read data. Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging something like kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket Reported-by:
