With the recent guest page fault change, we perform access checks on our own instead of relying on the cpu. This means we have to perform the nx checks as well. Software like the google toolbar on windows appears to rely on this somehow.

Check pte permission bits in walk_addr(), instead of scattering the checks all over the code. This has the following benefits: 1. We no longer set the accessed bit for accessed which fail permission checks. 2. Setting the accessed bit is simplified. 3. Under some circumstances, we used to pretend a page fault was fixed when it would actually fail the access checks. This caused an unnecessary vmexit. 4. The error code for guest page faults is now correct. The fix helps netbsd further along booting, and allows kvm to pass the new mmu testsuite.

There's an obvious typo in svm_{get,set}_idt, causing it to access the ldt instead. Because these functions are only called for save/load on AMD, the bug does not impact normal operation. With the fix, save/load works as expected on AMD hosts.

In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not doing a data-integrity sync, we used to just skip writing entirely, since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock. However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of course!)

It's not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data=journal will clean pages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean. This, in turn, will result in the VM (and balance_dirty_pages() in particular) to never realize that the pages got cleaned, and wait forever for an event that already happened. Technically, this seems to be a problem with ext3 itself, but it used to be hidden by 'try_to_free_buffers()' noticing this situation on its own, and just working around the filesystem problem. This commit re-instates that hack, in order to avoid a regression for the 2.6.20 release. This fixes bugzilla 7844: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7844 Peter Zijlstra points out that we should probably retain the debugging code that this removes from cancel_dirty_page(), and I agree, but for the imminent release we might as well just silence the warning too (since it's not a new bug: anything that triggers that warning has been around forever).

The commit 8e3d8433 ([NET]: MIPS checksum annotations and cleanups) broke 64-bit MIPS. The problem is the commit replaces some unsigned long with __be32. On 64bit MIPS, a __be32 (i.e. unsigned int) value is represented as a sign-extented 32-bit value in a 64-bit argument register. So the address 192.168.0.1 (0xc0a80001) is passed as 0xffffffffc0a80001 to csum_tcpudp_nofold() but the asm code in the function expects 0x00000000c0a80001, therefore it returns a wrong checksum. Explicit cast to unsigned long is needed to drop high 32bit. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Some ATA/ATAPI devices act weirdly after the link is put into slumber mode. Some hang completely requiring physical power removal while others fail to wake up till the link is hardreset a couple of times. The addition of slumber on power down was never driven by real need. It just followed what ahci spec said literally. The spec itself seems faulty in that it doesn't consider devices (not controllers) which don't support link powersaving mode. Theory never matches reality when it comes to dark allys of cheap ATA/ATAPI world. It's just unrealistic to expect vendors to test rarely used link powersaving feature rigorously. This patch makes ahci more friendly to the coldness of reality. This shouldn't have any negative effect - when suspend operation succeeds, we power off the whole machine; otherwise, we wake up everything. I can't see any reason to be so elaborate with powering down the link in the first place. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT. From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode. When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state is always checked by ata_host_intr. This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned "unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could cause interrupts to be lost. Signed-off-by: Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger. On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility with old iptables binaries. Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very simple IPv6 client-server program. The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me know. I can provide it.) This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in tcp_rcv_state_process(). When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet, then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb(). However, in case of a listening socket which was already set IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the kernel panic. I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

The recent hashing introduced an off-by-one bug in policy list insertion. Instead of adding after the last entry with a lesser or equal priority, we're adding after the successor of that entry. This patch fixes this and also adds a warning if we detect a duplicate entry in the policy list. This should never happen due to this if clause.

Since we stop using dev_alloc_skb on the IrDA TX frame, we constantly run into the case of the skb headroom being 0, and thus we call skb_cow for every IrDA TX frame.
