Ever since commit 45f035ab ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"), it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG turned off. Remove all the remaining references to it.

This patch kills the firmware loading requests of FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG before suspend to avoid blocking suspend because there is no timeout for these requests.

Ming Lei authored
Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware loading forever. Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so they don't hit in direct loading too.

Takashi Iwai authored
When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus blocks the reboot, too. As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before issuing usermodehelper_disable().

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop, semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check which of the sleeping tasks can proceed. do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups: - if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops - if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be scanned again And: - the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue() The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as possible.

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed. So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

Benjamin LaHaise authored
The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at exit_aio() time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by modifying the wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately. This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code posted yesterday.

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program. /proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas. Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd()) assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures. There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore VM_PFNMAP areas. The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we want to test any vma in the range. VM_PFNMAP areas are used by: - graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c - global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c - sgi special memory char/mspec.c - and probably several out-of-tree modules [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused hugetlb_vma() stub] Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

Last time we found there is lock/unlock bug in ocfs2_file_aio_write, and then we did a thorough search for all lock resources in ocfs2_inode_info, including rw, inode and open lockres and found this bug. My kernel version is 3.0.13, and it is also in the lastest version 3.9. In ocfs2_fiemap, once ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache failed, it should goto out_unlock instead of out, because we need release buffer head, up read alloc sem and unlock inode.

Commit 902c098a ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless cmpxchg-retry update. That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in account() to use cmpxchg as well. It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0 all the way from account() to the actual read() call. Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of what has been partially done by 902c098a.

Commit ec8f02da ("random: prime last_data value per fips requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements. Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics. The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with the normal routine. All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and architectures where panics were previously encoutered. The code changes are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips mode. This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips users on 3.8.x happy.

nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty for page at EOF boundary DESCRIPTION: There are use-cases when NILFS2 file system (formatted with block size lesser than 4 KB) can be remounted in RO mode because of encountering of "broken bmap" issue. The issue was reported by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>: "The machine I've been trialling nilfs on is running Debian Testing, Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2), but I've also reproduced it (identically) with Debian Unstable amd64 and Debian Experimental (using the 3.8-trunk kernel). The problematic partitions were formatted with "mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192"." SYMPTOMS: (1) System log contains error messages likewise: [63102.496756] nilfs_direct_assign: invalid pointer: 0 [63102.496786] NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28) [63102.496798] [63102.524403] Remounting filesystem read-only (2) The NILFS2 file system is remounted in RO mode. REPRODUSING PATH: (1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility. (2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>): ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- VG=unencrypted lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir sleep 2 date darcs init sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 date darcs whatsnew || true date sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% INVESTIGATION: As it was discovered, the issue takes place during segment construction after executing such sequence of user-space operations: open("_darcs/index", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0666) = 7 fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 ftruncate(7, 60) The error message "NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28)" takes place because of trying to get block number for third block of the file with logical offset #3072 bytes. As it is possible to see from above output, the file has 60 bytes of the whole size. So, it is enough one block (1 KB in size) allocation for the whole file. Trying to operate with several blocks instead of one takes place because of discovering several dirty buffers for this file in nilfs_segctor_scan_file() method. The root cause of this issue is in nilfs_set_page_dirty function which is called just before writing to an mmapped page. When nilfs_page_mkwrite function handles a page at EOF boundary, it fills hole blocks only inside EOF through __block_page_mkwrite(). The __block_page_mkwrite() function calls set_page_dirty() after filling hole blocks, thus nilfs_set_page_dirty function (= a_ops->set_page_dirty) is called. However, the current implementation of nilfs_set_page_dirty() wrongly marks all buffers dirty even for page at EOF boundary. As a result, buffers outside EOF are inconsistently marked dirty and queued for write even though they are not mapped with nilfs_get_block function. FIX: This modifies nilfs_set_page_dirty() not to mark hole blocks dirty. Thanks to Vyacheslav Dubeyko for his effort on analysis and proposals for this issue.

The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the radix tree. Otherwise there is a small race which can occur during lookup where the page can be found with the incorrect index. This will trigger the BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().

In reviewing man pages, I noticed that io_getevents is documented to update the timeout that gets passed into the library call. This doesn't happen in kernel space or in the library (even though it's documented to do so in both places). Unless there is objection, I'd like to fix the comments/docs to match the code (I will also update the man page upon consensus).
