strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the incorrect original pointer. So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before). Signed-off-by:

cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() ignore the return value of strstrip(). it makes small inconsistent behavior. example: ========================= # cd /mnt/cgroup/hoge # cat memory.swappiness 60 # echo "59 " > memory.swappiness # cat memory.swappiness 59 # echo " 58" > memory.swappiness bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument This patch fixes it.

Since commit 02b51df1 (proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning: Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143 [...] Krnl PSW : 0404c00180000000 00000000001481d4 (local_bh_enable+0xb0/0xe0) [...] Call Trace: ([<000000013fe04100>] 0x13fe04100) [<000000000048a946>] sk_filter+0x9a/0xd0 [<000000000049d938>] netlink_broadcast+0x2c0/0x53c [<00000000003ba9ae>] cn_netlink_send+0x272/0x2b0 [<00000000003baef0>] proc_sid_connector+0xc4/0xd4 [<0000000000142604>] __set_special_pids+0x58/0x90 [<0000000000159938>] sys_setsid+0xb4/0xd8 [<00000000001187fe>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<00000041616cb266>] 0x41616cb266 The warning is ---> WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled()); The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the connector. After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from __set_special_pids to sys_setsid. We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM. One last thing: There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an additional patch (Scott?) Signed-off-by:

Memory failure on a KSM page currently oopses on its NULL anon_vma in page_lock_anon_vma(): that may not be much worse than the consequence of ignoring it, but it is better to be consistent with how ZERO_PAGE and hugetlb pages and other awkward cases are treated. Just skip it. We could fix it for 2.6.32 at the KSM end, by putting a dummy anon_vma pointer in there; but that would get harder next time, when KSM will put a pointer to something else there (and I'm not currently planning to do any work to open that up to memory_failure). So I would prefer this simple PageKsm test, until the other exceptions are handled. Signed-off-by:

When CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is disabled, cpufreq_get() needs a stub. Used by kvm (although it looks like a bit of the kvm code could be omitted when CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is disabled). arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `kvm_arch_init': (.text+0x10de7): undefined reference to `cpufreq_get' (Needed in linux-next's KVM tree, but it's correct in 2.6.32).

This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a". Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this. This is coming back later in a cleaner form. Signed-off-by: -

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace. CC: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by:

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance regressions for Fedora users: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695 while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag is wrong. Rationale: QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO, MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed. If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host. Signed-off-by:

Increase TEST_SUSPEND_SECONDS to 10 so the warning in suspend_test_finish() doesn't annoy the users of slower systems so much. Also, make the warning print the suspend-resume cycle time, so that we know why the warning actually triggered. Patch prepared during the hacking session at the Kernel Summit in Tokyo. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which generates the stack trace: > Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP: > [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70 > [<ffffffff8028125c>] __dentry_open+0x13c/0x230 > [<ffffffff8028143d>] do_filp_open+0x2d/0x40 > [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100 > [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67 The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script: ============================================================= while : ; do { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } & PID=$! OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep | { read PID REST ; echo $PID; } ) OUT="${OUT%% *}" DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768)) usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 )) echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1 # Trigger defect done ============================================================= Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example: static int pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) { msleep(100); mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex); Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open() functions. The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so. The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly. Signed-off-by:Earl Chew <earl_chew@agilent.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:
