Bonding: fix zero address hole bug in arp_ip_target list

upstream commit: 5a31bec014449dc9ca994e4c1dbf2802b7ca458a

Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end.  With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.

Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel:

skge: fix occasional BUG during MTU change

upstream commit: d119b3927994e3d620d6adb0dd1ea6bf24427875

The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up()
was sometimes observed when setting MTU.

skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via
skge_tx_clean().
Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the
other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another
CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable().

The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes
failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.

When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error
which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO
packets are normally non-linear in the payload).

These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun
driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible.
This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier
it is still the norm.

Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun
in 2.6.29.

reported here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.

This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.

Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock
is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add
the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush
the tlb after freeing the page (otherwise it would never be safe) so we can do

sg_rq_end_io() is called via rq->end_io. In some rare cases,
sg_rq_end_io calls blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user (when a program
issuing a command has gone before the command completion; e.g. by
interrupting a program issuing a command before the command
completes).

We can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user in interrupt so the
commit c96952ed7031e7c576ecf90cf95b8ec099d5295a uses
execute_in_process_context().

The problem is that scsi_error_handler() calls rq->end_io too. We
can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user too in this path (we hold
q->queue_lock).

To avoid the above problem, in these rare cases, this patch always
uses schedule_work() instead of execute_in_process_context().

This fixes the following oops:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123316111415677&w=2

You can reproduce this bug by interrupting a program before a sg
response completes. This leads to the special sg state (the orphan
state), then sg calls blk_put_request in interrupt (rq->end_io).

The above bug report shows the recursive lock problem because sg calls
blk_put_request in interrupt. We could call __blk_put_request here
instead however we also need to handle blk_rq_unmap_user here, which
can't be called in interrupt too.

In the orphan state, we don't need to care about the data transfer
(the program revoked the command) so adding 'just free the resource'
mode to blk_rq_unmap_user is a possible option.

I prefer to avoid complicating the blk mapping API when possible. I
change the orphan state to call sg_finish_rem_req via
execute_in_process_context. We hold sg_fd->kref so sg_fd doesn't go
away until keventd_wq finishes our work. copy_from_user/to_user fails
so blk_rq_unmap_user just frees the resource without the data
transfer.

upstream commit: c6517b7942fad663cc1cf3235cbe4207cf769332

sg has the following problems related to device removal:

* opening a sg fd races with removing a device
* closing a sg fd races with removing a device
* /proc/scsi/sg/* access races with removing a device
* command completion races with removing a device
* command completion races with closing a sg fd
* can rmmod sg with active commands

These problems can cause kernel oopses, memory-use-after-free, or
double-free errors.  This patch fixes these problems by using krefs
to manage the lifetime of sg_device and sg_fd.

Each command submitted to the midlevel holds a reference to sg_fd
until the completion callback.  This ensures that sg_fd doesn't go
away if the fd is closed with commands still outstanding.

sg_fd gets the reference of sg_device (with scsi_device) and also
makes sure that the sg module doesn't go away.

/proc/scsi/sg/* functions don't play nicely with krefs because they
give information about sg_fds which have been closed but not yet
freed due to still having outstanding commands and sg_devices which
have been removed but not yet freed due to still being referenced
by one or more sg_fds.  To deal with this safely without removing
functionality, /proc functions now access sg_device and sg_fd while
holding a lock instead of using kref_get()/kref_put().

This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as
multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While
there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup
IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler
can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can
see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple
vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(),
other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local
cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled).

When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that
vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and
do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to
service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector
allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler.

This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors
at the same time.

[ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to
  the best of our knowledge it has never been seen.  The stable
  maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ]

15 years agosched: do not count frozen tasks toward load

sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load

upstream commit: e3c8ca8336707062f3f7cb1cd7e6b3c753baccdd

Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb
because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in
uninterruptible sleep (D state).

Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the
load average when making decisions.  If a cgroup is frozen, the load
average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization
to such applications.  This is especially inconvenient if the job
scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low
priority jobs.  Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose:
the stopped tasks do not count toward system load.

Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is
frozen.  This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets
users' expectations.

dm kcopyd: fix callback race

upstream commit: 340cd44451fb0bfa542365e6b4b565bbd44836e2

If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.

dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()

Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().

This patch fixes two problems:

1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).

- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.

2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete
reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors.

- Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits
  (it is done already in run_complete_job)

Impact: Regression fix (against clock_gettime() backwarding bug)

This patch re-introduces a couple of functions, task_sched_runtime
and thread_group_sched_runtime, which was once removed at the
time of 2.6.28-rc1.

These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with
rq lock.  This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during
the sampling.

i.e.
  The clock_gettime() may return
   ((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update))
  that is less than what it should be.

v2 -> v3:
- Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec()
  to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has
  a __task_delta_exec() of different version.

v1 -> v2:
- Revises comments of function and patch description.
- Add note about accuracy of thread group's runtime.

Making the freeing of q->queue dependent on q->pool being set looks
really weird (although it is correct at the moment. But this seems
to be fixable in a much simpler way.

With the benefit that only the error case is slowed down. In both
cases we have a problem if q->queue contains an error value but it's
not -ENOMEM. Apparently this can't happen today, but it doesn't feel

splice: fix deadlock in splicing to file

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():

 - task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
 - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
   pipe->inode and target inode
 - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
   locked first
 - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
 - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
 - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
 - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
   already held by task A
 - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
   it is already held by task B
 - ABBA deadlock

Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode.  This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

The Aspire One's ACPI-WMI interface is a placeholder that does nothing,

problems as acer-wmi always returns that the rfkill is enabled (i.e. the

We need to check if the exception was completed after dropping the lock.

After regaining the lock, __find_pending_exception checks if the exception
was already placed into &s->pending hash.

But we don't check if the exception was already completed and placed into
&s->complete hash. If the process waiting in alloc_pending_exception was
delayed at this point because of a scheduling latency and the exception
was meanwhile completed, we'd miss that and allocate another pending
exception for already completed chunk.

It would lead to a situation where two records for the same chunk exist
and potential data corruption because multiple snapshot I/Os to the
affected chunk could be redirected to different locations in the

If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call,
the kernel may crash.

The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal,
however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io
requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory.

sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out
of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered
while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen.

There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore
signals at this point.

The structure dm_raid1_read_record used to be allocated with kmalloc,

slightly greater than 4096 will allocate 8192 bytes of memory and half of
that memory will be wasted.

This patch turns kmalloc into a slab cache which doesn't have this

A new "address_space flag"--AS_MM_ALL_LOCKS--was defined to use the next

So, define a unique flag value for AS_UNEVICTABLE--up close to the other
flags, [at the cost of an additional #ifdef] so we'll notice next time.
Note that #ifdef is not actually required, if we don't mind having the
unused flag value defined.

Fix slab corruption caused by alloc_cpumask_var_node() overwriting the
tail end of an off-stack cpumask.

The function zeros out cpumask bits beyond the last possible cpu.  The

byte count derived from the number of possible cpus.  The offset was

On a MSI MS-6702E mainboard, when in rtl8169_init_one() for the first time
after BIOS has run, IntrStatus reads 5 after chip has been reset.
IntrStatus should equal 0 there, so patch changes IntrStatus reset to happen
after chip reset instead of before.

Remark (Francois):
Assuming that the loglevel of the driver is increased above NETIF_MSG_INTR,
the bug reveals itself with a typical "interrupt 0025 in poll" message
at startup. In retrospect, the message should had been read as an hint of
an unexpected hardware state several months ago :o(

Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.

One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.

cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.

Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.

Through sys_llseek() arguably should do exactly that it doesn't which
means llseek(2) will fail for o32 processes if offset_low has bit 31 set.

As suggested by Heiko Carstens.

PCI/x86: detect host bridge config space size w/o using quirks

upstream commit: dfadd9edff498d767008edc6b2a6e86a7a19934d

Many host bridges support a 4k config space, so check them directy
instead of using quirks to add them.

We only need to do this extra check for host bridges at this point,
because only host bridges are known to have extended address space
without also having a PCI-X/PCI-E caps.  Other devices with this
property could be done with quirks (if there are any).

As a bonus, we can remove the quirks for AMD host bridges with family
10h and 11h since they're not needed any more.

With this patch, we can get correct pci cfg size of new Intel CPUs/IOHs
with host bridges.

fbdev: fix info->lock deadlock in fbcon_event_notify()

upstream commit: 513adb58685615b0b1d47a3f0d40f5352beff189

fb_notifier_call_chain() is called with info->lock held, i.e.  in
do_fb_ioctl() => FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO => fb_set_var() and the some
notifier callbacks, like fbcon_event_notify(), try to re-acquire
info->lock again.

Remove the lock/unlock_fb_info() in all the framebuffer notifier
callbacks' and be sure to always call fb_notifier_call_chain() with
info->lock held.

Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver

Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking
fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held.  Notifier callbacks can
try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the
