Doug Chapman noticed that mincore() will doa "copy_to_user()" of the result while holding the mmap semaphore for reading, which is a big no-no. While a recursive read-lock on a semaphore in the case of a page fault happens to work, we don't actually allow them due to deadlock schenarios with writers due to fairness issues. Doug and Marcel sent in a patch to fix it, but I decided to just rewrite the mess instead - not just fixing the locking problem, but making the code smaller and (imho) much easier to understand.

Also PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted, as done by kernel/ptrace.c and forced by binary compatibility. UML/32bit breaks because of this - since it is wise enough to use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to be binary compatible with 2.4 host kernels. Until 2.6.17 (commit f0f2d653) we had: default: return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data); Instead here we have: case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA: case ...: return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data); default: return -EINVAL; This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be explicitly tested this way. In this case, not enough testing was done. Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

Roland Dreier authored
When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However, this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed before the send is fully flushed. This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as a use-after-free in IPoIB. Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same check to the search of the wait_list. Signed-off-by:

If grow_buffers() is for some reason passed a block number which wants to lie outside the maximum-addressable pagecache range (PAGE_SIZE * 4G bytes) then it will accidentally truncate `index' and will then instnatiate a page at the wrong pagecache offset. This causes __getblk_slow() to go into an infinite loop. This can happen with corrupted disks, or with software errors elsewhere. Detect that, and handle it. Signed-off-by:

On a custom board with ds1337 RTC I found that upgrade from 2.6.15 to 2.6.18 broke RTC support. The main problem are changes to ds1337_init_client(). When a ds1337 recognizes a problem (e.g. power or clock failure) bit 7 in status register is set. This has to be reset by writing 0 to status register. But since there are only 16 byte written to the chip and the first byte is interpreted as an address, the status register (which is the 16th) is never written. The other problem is, that initializing all registers to zero is not valid for day, date and month register. Funny enough this is checked by ds1337_detect(), which depends on this values not being zero. So then treated by ds1337_init_client() the ds1337 is not detected anymore, whereas the failure bit in the status register is still set. Broken by commit f9e89579 (2.6.16-rc1, 2006-01-06). This fix is in Linus' tree since 2.6.20-rc1 (commit 763d9c04). Signed-off-by:

struct srp_device.fmr_page_mask was unsigned long, which means that the top part of addresses above 4G was being chopped off on 32-bit architectures. Of course nothing good happens when data from SRP targets is DMAed to the wrong place. Fix this by changing fmr_page_mask to u64, to match the addresses actually used by IB devices.

On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15... The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a really-going-forward tsc counter. Signed-off-by:

At least some nforce cards continue to send legacy interrupts when MSI is enabled, and these interrupts are treated as unhandled by the kernel. This patch disables legacy interrupts explicitly when enabling MSI mode. The correct fix is to change the MSI infrastructure to disable legacy interrupts when enabling MSI, but this is potentially risky if the device isn't PCI-2.3 or is quirky, so the correct fix is going into mainline, while patches like this one go into -stable. Legend has it that it is most correct to disable legacy interrupts before enabling MSI, but the mainline patch does it in the other order, and this patch is "obviously" the same as mainline.

The m32r kernel 2.6.18-rc1 or after cause build errors of "unknown isa configuration" for userspace application programs, such as glibc, gdb, etc. This is because the recent kernel do not include linux/config.h not to expose kernel headers for userspace. To fix the above compile errors, this patch fixes two headers ptrace.h and sigcontext.h for m32r and makes them platform-independent. Signed-off-by:

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were already pending. In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug. Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd, although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that. Signed-off-by:

In some cases when using VSB, the AGC status register has been known to falsely report "no signal" when in fact there is a carrier lock. The datasheet labels these status flags as QAM only, yet the lgdt330x module is using these flags for both QAM and VSB. This patch allows for the carrier recovery lock status register to be tested, even if the agc signal status register falsely reports no signal.

Currently the behaviour of disable_xfrm is inconsistent between locally generated and forwarded packets. For locally generated packets disable_xfrm disables the policy lookup if it is set on the output device, for forwarded traffic however it looks at the input device. This makes it impossible to disable xfrm on all devices but a dummy device and use normal routing to direct traffic to that device. Always use the output device when checking disable_xfrm.
