commit 1ff2f403 upstream. Commit c7510859 Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Date: Sun Apr 12 20:06:56 2009 +0200 PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume Broke the scsi_wait_scan module in 2.6.30. Apparently debian still uses it so fix it and backport to stable before removing it in 3.6. The breakage is caused because the function template in include/scsi/scsi_scan.h is defined to be a nop unless SCSI is built in. That means that in the modular case (which is every distro), the scsi_wait_scan module does a simple async_synchronize_full() instead of waiting for scans. Signed-off-by:

commit dbda591d upstream. The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped. va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed by __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given vm_struct. Also initialise va->vm. If it is not set, find_vm_area() for the early vm regions will always fail. Signed-off-by:

commit c50ac050 upstream. When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages() does a resv_map_alloc(). It depends on code in hugetlbfs's vm_ops->close() to release that allocation. However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close(). This is a decent fix. This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say, after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return an error. But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway.

commit e4898273 upstream. Commit 64574746 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once") made mapped pages have another round in inactive list because they might be just short lived and so we could consider them again next time. This heuristic helps to reduce pressure on the active list with a streaming IO worklods. This patch fixes a regression introduced by this commit for heavy shmem based workloads because unlike Anon pages, which are excluded from this heuristic because they are usually long lived, shmem pages are handled as a regular page cache. This doesn't work quite well, unfortunately, if the workload is mostly backed by shmem (in memory database sitting on 80% of memory) with a streaming IO in the background (backup - up to 20% of memory). Anon inactive list is full of (dirty) shmem pages when watermarks are hit. Shmem pages are kept in the inactive list (they are referenced) in the first round and it is hard to reclaim anything else so we reach lower scanning priorities very quickly which leads to an excessive swap out. Let's fix this by excluding all swap backed pages (they tend to be long lived wrt. the regular page cache anyway) from used-once heuristic and rather activate them if they are referenced. The customer's workload is shmem backed database (80% of RAM) and they are measuring transactions/s with an IO in the background (20%). Transactions touch more or less random rows in the table. The transaction rate fell by a factor of 3 (in the worst case) because of commit 64574746. This patch restores the previous numbers. Signed-off-by:

commit 7edc8b0a upstream. The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int, which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond 16TB). The following program demonstrates this: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L #define EXTENT 16393 int main(void) { int i, r; void *m; char buf[1024]; for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) { m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); if (m == (void *)-1) printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m); else printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m); r = fork(); if (r == 0) { printf("%d: successed\n", i); return 0; } else if (r < 0) printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r); else if (r > 0) wait(NULL); } return 0; } Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

commit f380f2c4 upstream. This driver disables interrupt just after requesting it and enables it later, after interface is up. However currently there is a time window between request_irq() and disable_irq() where if interrupt arrives, the driver oopses because it's not yet ready to process it. This can be reproduced by inserting the module, associating and removing the module multiple times. Eliminate this race by setting IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag before request_irq(). Signed-off-by:

commit 882dde8e upstream. When BT traffic load changes from its previous state, a new LQ command needs to be sent down to the firmware. This needs to be done only once per change. The state variable that keeps track of this change is last_bt_traffic_load. However, it was not being updated when the change had been handled. Not updating this variable was causing a flood of advanced BT config commands to be sent to the firmware. Fix this. Signed-off-by:

commit b4bd8ad9 upstream. DMA support has finally made its way to the top of the TODO list, having realised that a Geode using MMIO can't keep up with two ADSL2+ lines each running at 21Mb/s. This patch fixes a couple of bugs in the DMA support in the driver, so once the corresponding FPGA update is complete and tested everything should work properly. We weren't storing the currently-transmitting skb, so we were never unmapping it and never freeing/popping it when the TX was done. And the addition of pci_set_master() is fairly self-explanatory.

commit b7e94a16 upstream. block congestion control doesn't have any concept of fairness across multiple queues. This means that if SCSI reports the host as busy in the queue congestion control it can result in an unfair starvation situation in dm-mp if there are multiple multipath devices on the same host. For example: http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2012-May/msg00123.html The fix for this is to report only the sdev busy state (and ignore the host busy state) in the block congestion control call back. The host is still congested, but the SCSI subsystem will sort out the congestion in a fair way because it knows the relation between the queues and the host.

commit ea17e741 upstream. The symbol jiffies is created in the linker script as an alias to jiffies_64. Unfortunately this is done outside any section, and apparently GNU ld 2.21 doesn't carry the section with it, so we end up with an absolute symbol and therefore a broken kernel. Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the whitelist. The most disturbing bit with this discovery is that it shows that we have had multiple linker bugs in this area crossing multiple generations, and have been silently building bad kernels for some time.

commit fd952815 upstream. As noted in checkin: a3e854d9 x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug ld version 2.22.52.0.[12] can incorrectly promote relative symbols to absolute, if the output section they appear in is otherwise empty. Since checkin: 6520fe55 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool we actually check for this and error out rather than silently creating a kernel which will malfunction if relocated. Ingo found a configuration in which __start_builtin_fw triggered the warning. Go through the linker script sources and look for more symbols that could plausibly get bogusly promoted to absolute, and add them to the whitelist. In general, if the following error triggers: Invalid absolute R_386_32 relocation: <symbol> ... then we should verify that <symbol> is really meant to be relocated, and add it and any related symbols manually to the S_REL regexp. Please note that 6520fe55 does not introduce the error, only the check for the error -- without 6520fe55 this version of ld will simply produce a corrupt kernel if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set on x86-32.

commit 6520fe55 upstream. A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
