commit d220980b upstream. This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware. Signed-off-by:

commit bdbc29c1 upstream. On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of gcc as something like: addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least. To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator, and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.) Signed-off-by:

commit fb615499 upstream. The recent commit to delay the release of kobject triggered NULL dereferences of opti9xx drivers. The cause is that all snd-opti92x-ad1848, snd-opti92x-cs4231 and snd-opti93x drivers register the PnP card driver with the very same name, and also snd-opti92x-ad1848 and -cs4231 drivers register the ISA driver with the same name, too. When these drivers are built in, quick "register-release-and-re-register" actions occur, and this results in Oops because of the same name is assigned to the kobject. The fix is simply to assign individual names. As a bonus, by using KBUILD_MODNAME, the patch reduces more lines than it adds. The fix is based on the suggestion by Russell King.

commit 44512449 upstream. NFSv4 reserves readdir cookie values 0-2 for special entries (. and ..), but jfs allows a value of 2 for a non-special entry. This incompatibility can result in the nfs client reporting a readdir loop. This patch doesn't change the value stored internally, but adds one to the value exposed to the iterate method.

commit 3bc38cbc upstream. If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel will crash. There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0 kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and treat it as RAM. We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up. A PV domU could have an UNUSABLE region in its pseudo-physical map and would need to be handled in another patch. This fixes a boot failure on hosts with tboot. tboot marks a region in the e820 map as unusable and the dom0 kernel would attempt to map this region and Xen does not permit unusable regions to be mapped by guests.

Unfortunately, execute_in_process_context() decides to immediately execute that device removal function, instead of scheduling asynchronous execution, since it detects process context and thinks it is safe to do so. But almost all calls to shost_for_each_device() in our lldd are inside spin_lock_irq, even in thread context. Obviously, schedule() inside spin_lock_irq sections is a bad idea. Change the lldd to use the proper iterator function, __shost_for_each_device(), in combination with required locking. Occurences that need to be changed include all calls in zfcp_erp.c, since those might be executed in zfcp error recovery thread context with a lock held. Other occurences of shost_for_each_device() in zfcp_fsf.c do not need to be changed (no process context, no surrounding locking). The problem was introduced in Linux 2.6.37 by commit b62a8d9b "[SCSI] zfcp: Use SCSI device data zfcp_scsi_dev instead of zfcp_unit". Reported-by:

commit d79ff142 upstream. This patch adds wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout(), which is a straight-forward descendant of wait_event_interruptible_timeout() and wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq(). The zfcp driver used to call wait_event_interruptible_timeout() in combination with some intricate and error-prone locking. Using wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() as a replacement nicely cleans up that locking. This rework removes a situation that resulted in a locking imbalance in zfcp_qdio_sbal_get(): BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: events/1/0xffffff00/10 last function: zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline+0x0/0xa0 [zfcp] It was introduced by commit c2af7545 "[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wait for SBALs on stopped queue", which had a new code path related to ZFCP_STATUS_ADAPTER_QDIOUP that took an early exit without a required lock being held. The problem occured when a special, non-SCSI I/O request was being submitted in process context, when the adapter's queues had been torn down. In this case the bug surfaced when the Fibre Channel port connection for a well-known address was closed during a concurrent adapter shut-down procedure, which is a rare constellation. This patch also fixes these warnings from the sparse tool (make C=1): drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:224:12: warning: context imbalance in 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_check' - wrong count at exit drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:244:5: warning: context imbalance in 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_get' - unexpected unlock Last but not least, we get rid of that crappy lock-unlock-lock sequence at the beginning of the critical section. It is okay to call zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() with req_q_lock held. Reported-by:

commit 4bf93b50 upstream. Fix the issue with improper counting number of flying bio requests for BIO_EOPNOTSUPP error detection case. The sb_nbio must be incremented exactly the same number of times as complete() function was called (or will be called) because nilfs_segbuf_wait() will call wail_for_completion() for the number of times set to sb_nbio: do { wait_for_completion(&segbuf->sb_bio_event); } while (--segbuf->sb_nbio > 0); Two functions complete() and wait_for_completion() must be called the same number of times for the same sb_bio_event. Otherwise, wait_for_completion() will hang or leak. Signed-off-by:

commit 9e401275 upstream. Already existing property flags are filled wrong for properties created from initial FDT. This could cause problems if this DYNAMIC device-tree functions are used later, i.e. properties are attached/detached/replaced. Simply dumping flags from the running system show, that some initial static (not allocated via kzmalloc()) nodes are marked as dynamic. I putted some debug extensions to property_proc_show(..) : .. + if (OF_IS_DYNAMIC(pp)) + pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DYNAMIC\n"); + if (OF_IS_DETACHED(pp)) + pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DETACHED\n"); when you operate on the nodes (e.g.: ~$ cat /proc/device-tree/*some_node*) you will see that those flags are filled wrong, basically in most cases it will dump a DYNAMIC or DETACHED status, which is in not true. (BTW. this OF_IS_DETACHED is a own define for debug purposes which which just make a test_bit(OF_DETACHED, &x->_flags) If nodes are dynamic kernel is allowed to kfree() them. But it will crash attempting to do so on the nodes from FDT -- they are not allocated via kzmalloc(). Signed-off-by:

commit 884020bf upstream. After any "soft gfx reset" we must manually invalidate the TLBs associated with each ring. Empirically, it seems that a suspend/resume or D3-D0 cycle count as a "soft reset". The symptom is that the hardware would fail to note the new address for its status page, and so it would continue to write the shadow registers and breadcrumbs into the old physical address (now used by something completely different, scary). Whereas the driver would read the new status page and never see any progress, it would appear that the GPU hung immediately upon resume.

commit 84ca7a8e upstream. The sizeof() argument in init_evtchn_cpu_bindings() is incorrect resulting in only the first 64 (or 32 in 32-bit guests) ports having their bindings being initialized to VCPU 0. In most cases this does not cause a problem as request_irq() will set the irq affinity which will set the correct local per-cpu mask. However, if the request_irq() is called on a VCPU other than 0, there is a window between the unmasking of the event and the affinity being set were an event may be lost because it is not locally unmasked on any VCPU. If request_irq() is called on VCPU 0 then local irqs are disabled during the window and the race does not occur. Fix this by initializing all NR_EVENT_CHANNEL bits in the local per-cpu masks.

commit a2c1c57b upstream. To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item. If there already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the current execution finishes. Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus recycled for different purposes. If it gets recycled for a different work item and queued while the previous execution is still in progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one although the two aren't really related in any way. In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items. To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each busy worker and match it together with the work item address in find_worker_executing_work(). While this isn't complete, it ensures that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

commit 3aa62497 upstream. Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works. The linked work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and may cause the whole cwq to stall. For example, state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1 one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works. step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it. step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked work item increasing ->nr_active. step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are NO_COLOR. When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls. Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing PENDING in try_to_grab_pending(). This ensures that all the linked work items are activated without incorrectly bumping cwq->nr_active. tj: Updated comment and description. Signed-off-by:

commit 91aa11fa upstream. When jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() returns error, __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() stops the handle. However callers of this function do not count with that fact and still happily used now freed handle. This use after free can result in various issues but very likely we oops soon. The motivation of adding __ext4_journal_stop() into __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() in commit 9ea7a0df seems to be only to improve error reporting. So replace __ext4_journal_stop() with ext4_journal_abort_handle() which was there before that commit and add WARN_ON_ONCE() to dump stack to provide useful information. Reported-by:

commit e8184e10 upstream. As pointed out by Andreas Schwab, pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls should be physical addresses, not virtual addresses. Fortunately on Atari, physical and virtual kernel addresses are the same, as long as normal kernel memory is concerned, so this usually worked fine without conversion. But for modules, pointers to literal strings are located in vmalloc()ed memory. Depending on the version of ARAnyM, this causes the nf_get_id() call to just fail, or worse, crash ARAnyM itself with e.g. Gotcha! Illegal memory access. Atari PC = $968c This is a big issue for distro kernels, who want to have all drivers as loadable modules in an initrd. Add a wrapper for nf_get_id() that copies the literal to the stack to work around this issue. Reported-by:

commit c95eb318 upstream. It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group. This results in the event group being validated by adding all members of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on their respective PMU. Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx function pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with multiple hardware PMUs anyway. Reported-by:

commit 3c322a56 upstream. Fix possibly wrong memcpy() bytes length since some CAN records received from PCAN-USB could define a DLC field in range [9..15]. In that case, the real DLC value MUST be used to move forward the record pointer but, only 8 bytes max. MUST be copied into the data field of the struct can_frame object of the skb given to the network core. Signed-off-by:

Upstream commit 8b923214. This fixes: MODPOST 393 modules ERROR: "min_low_pfn" [arch/mips/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined! make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 It would have been possible to just export min_low_pfn but in the end pfn_valid should return 1 for any pfn argument for which a struct page exists so using min_low_pfn was wrong anyway. [Backport to 3.4 kernel. Applies cleanly on top of current 3.4 patch queue, and fixes "make ARCH=mips allmodconfig; make ARCH=mips" build problem. - Guenter] Signed-off-by:

commit de36e66d upstream. Based on copy from microblaze add ucmpdi2 implementation. This fixes build of niu driver which failed with: drivers/built-in.o: In function `niu_get_nfc': niu.c:(.text+0x91494): undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2' This driver will never be used on a sparc32 system, but patch added to fix build breakage with all*config builds.

commit e2d59925 upstream. Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they really should call freeze_array. The former is only intended to be called from "make_request". The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the management thread. Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock. Using freeze_array should not. As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore. The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits 050b6615 (raid10) and 6b740b8d (raid1) which appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable kernel since then. This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and will need to be applied by hand. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

commit cd8d2331 upstream. Due to all of the goodness being packed into today's kernels, the resulting image isn't as slim as it once was. In light of this, don't pass -msmall-data to gcc, which otherwise results in link failures due to impossible relocations when compiling anything but the most trivial configurations. Reviewed-by:

commit cce4517f upstream. alloc_task_struct_node() allocates THREAD_SIZE and maintains some weird refcount in the allocated memory. This never blew up as task_struct size on 32bit machines was always less than THREAD_SIZE Allocate just sizeof(struct task_struct) and get rid of the magic refcounting. Signed-off-by:

commit 13d60f4b upstream. The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex. Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses page->index. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0 and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs mapping. The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as their keys solely depend on the user space address. 2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2 3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1. 4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2. 5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2 still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1. To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping. Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still use page->index. Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific details to the futex code.
