Dave Jones hit this assert when doing a compile on recent git, with CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG enabled: XFS: Assertion failed: (char *)dup - (char *)hdr == be16_to_cpu(*xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)), file: fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_data.c, line: 828 Upon further digging, the tag found by xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup) contained "2" and not the proper offset, and I found that this value was changed after the memmoves under "Use a stale leaf for our new entry." in xfs_dir2_block_addname(), i.e. memmove(&blp[mid + 1], &blp[mid], (highstale - mid) * sizeof(*blp)); overwrote it. What has happened is that the previous call to xfs_dir2_block_compact() has rearranged things; it changes btp->count as well as the blp array. So after we make that call, we must recalculate the proper pointer to the leaf entries by making another call to xfs_dir2_block_leaf_p(). Dave provided a metadump image which led to a simple reproducer (create a particular filename in the affected directory) and this resolves the testcase as well as the bug on his live system. Thanks also to dchinner for looking at this one with me.

Commits starting at 77c1a08f introduced a multiple segment support to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied. This patch: 1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses. 2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid future confusion.

This fixes CVE-2013-0190 / XSA-40 There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing. In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like: popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor jz 5f addl $16,%esp jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault 5: addl $16,%esp # Hypervisor said segment selector fault Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected. In the PVOPS case, the code looks like: popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16 jz 5f addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again jmp iret_exc It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a failsafe_callback into the kernel. This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support in commit 5ead97c8 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.

In commit 281dc5c5 ("Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE") we already changed the actual default value, but the help-text still suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons. Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside. The main ones are: - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is horrendously bad for performance. - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$. - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

cbc0dd1f "s390/pci: CHSC PCI support for error and availability events" introduced a new SEI notification type as part of pci support. The way SEI was called with nt2 and nt0 consecutive broke the nt0 stuff used for channel subsystem notifications. The reason why this was broken with the mentioned patch is that you cannot selectively disable type 0 notifications (so even when asked for type 2 only, type 0 could be presented). The way to do it is to tell SEI which types of notification you can process and -this is the important part- look at the SEI result which notification type you actually received.

Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().

Commit 85ff6acb (xen/granttable: Grant tables V2 implementation) changed the GREFS_PER_GRANT_FRAME macro from a constant to a conditional expression. The expression depends on grant_table_version being appropriately set. Unfortunately, at init time grant_table_version will be 0. The GREFS_PER_GRANT_FRAME conditional expression checks for "grant_table_version == 1", and therefore returns the number of grant references per frame for v2. This causes gnttab_init() to allocate fewer pages for gnttab_list, as a frame can old half the number of v2 entries than v1 entries. After gnttab_resume() is called, grant_table_version is appropriately set. nr_init_grefs will then be miscalculated and gnttab_free_count will hold a value larger than the actual number of free gref entries. If a guest is heavily utilizing improperly initialized v1 grant tables, memory corruption can occur. One common manifestation is corruption of the vmalloc list, resulting in a poisoned pointer derefrence when accessing /proc/meminfo or /proc/vmallocinfo: [ 40.770064] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000200200001407 [ 40.770083] IP: [<ffffffff811a6fb0>] get_vmalloc_info+0x70/0x110 [ 40.770102] PGD 0 [ 40.770107] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 40.770114] CPU 10 This patch introduces a static variable, grefs_per_grant_frame, to cache the calculated value. gnttab_init() now calls gnttab_request_version() early so that grant_table_version and grefs_per_grant_frame can be appropriately set. A few BUG_ON()s have been added to prevent this type of bug from reoccurring in the future.
