commit 8c56cacc upstream. To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to lost devices or missed hotplug events. Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port unresponsive to further hotplug events. Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1123265 stable: I think we should weather this patch a bit longer in -rcX before sending it to -stable. Please wait at least a month after this patch makes upstream. Thanks. -v2: Fixed spelling in the comment per Dave Howorth. Signed-off-by:

commit 0c03150e upstream. A bridge topology with three systems: +------+ +------+ | A(2) |--| B(1) | +------+ +------+ \ / +------+ | C(3) | +------+ What is supposed to happen: * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B) * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state. The root cause of this is that the configuration messages is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before sending. In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be: the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU. Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

commit 227690df upstream. The subdevs are supposed to receive a valid tuner type for the g_frequency and g/s_tuner subdev ops. Some drivers do this, others don't. So prefill this in v4l2-ioctl.c based on whether the device node from which this is called is a radio node or not. The spec does not require applications to fill in the type, and if they leave it at 0 then the 'check_mode' call in tuner-core.c will return an error and the ioctl does nothing. Signed-off-by:

commit 2aa15890 upstream. Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping. [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ] Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 9cfaa8de ] Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong. Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 32c90254 ] udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs. Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call: err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(iocb, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); i.e. with udpv6_recvmsg() getting these values: int noblock = flags & MSG_DONTWAIT int flags = flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT So, when udp checksum error occurs, the execution will go to csum_copy_err, and then the problem happens: csum_copy_err: ............... if (flags & MSG_DONTWAIT) return -EAGAIN; goto try_again; ............... But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be: if (noblock) return -EAGAIN; This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

commit 4d4cf23c upstream. There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case, if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal. Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number that is used as the number of pages to free. Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it. Signed-off-by:

commit 6715045d upstream. There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by:

commit cbb33004 upstream. This patch (as1465) continues implementation of the policy that errors during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going to sleep. In this case, failure to turn on the Suspend feature for a hub port shouldn't be reported as an error. There are situations where this does actually occur (such as when the device plugged into that port was disconnected in the recent past), and it turns out to be harmless. There's no reason for it to prevent a system sleep. Also, don't allow the hub driver to fail a system suspend if the downstream ports aren't all suspended. This is also harmless (and should never happen, given the change mentioned above); printing a warning message in the kernel log is all we really need to do. Signed-off-by:

commit 0af212ba upstream. This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding: Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not worry about them now.) Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system from going to sleep. Signed-off-by:

commit 26c4caea upstream. Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times. It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process terminations. Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7 seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits on a single CPU. The patch limits the number of times a single process may register itself on a single CPU to one. One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes. Signed-off-by:

commit 4274215d upstream. If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the array in remove_and_add_spares. It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to recover it even though it is failed. This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over and over again. We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot proceed. This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any kernel since then. Reported-by:

commit b0320c7b upstream. When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number. The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to 'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages() What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c: allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages()) * sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages; A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c. Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory. Impact of this bug: When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory == OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning -ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall system's performance, depending on the workload. Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).
