Impact: Bug fix on UP Checkin 6ec68bff: x86, mce: reinitialize per cpu features on resume introduced a call to mce_cpu_features() in the resume path, in order for the MCE machinery to get properly reinitialized after a resume. However, this function (and its successors) was flagged __cpuinit, which becomes __init on UP configurations (on SMP suspend/resume requires CPU hotplug and so this would not be seen.) Remove the offending __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features() and its successor functions. Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: H.

When two different users mount the same Windows 2003 Server share using CIFS, the first session mounted can be invalidated. Some servers invalidate the first smb session when a second similar user (e.g. two users who get mapped by server to "guest") authenticates an smb session from the same client. By making sure that we set the 2nd and subsequent vc numbers to nonzero values, this ensures that we will not have this problem. Fixes Samba bug 6004, problem description follows: How to reproduce: - configure an "open share" (full permissions to Guest user) on Windows 2003 Server (I couldn't reproduce the problem with Samba server or Windows older than 2003) - mount the share twice with different users who will be authenticated as guest. noacl,noperm,user=john,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw noacl,noperm,user=jeff,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw Result: - just the mount point mounted last is accessible: Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it, but had not added the corresponding code to file create. The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol extensions). Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic (17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip for the SetPathInfo on every file create. It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags which would have to be ignored otherwise.

Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f6. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

Johannes Weiner authored
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD itself having been marked read-only as well in split_large_page(). The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard (and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE. The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and incorrect concept at the page table level - because the pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot 'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any mixture of protections. With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive (or permissive) protections will control it. Also update the comment. This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing. [ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not realized back then. ] Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
