commit c99af375 upstream. Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module. This was previously GPLed but is now under a proprietary license, but the module continues to declare MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and makes use of some EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols. Forcibly taint it in order to avoid this. Signed-off-by:

commit 49999ab2 upstream. In autofs4_d_automount(), if a mount fail occurs the AUTOFS_INF_PENDING mount pending flag is not cleared. One effect of this is when using the "browse" option, directory entry attributes show up with all "?"s due to the incorrect callback and subsequent failure return (when in fact no callback should be made).

commit 60ea8226 upstream. A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers, blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the initial bypass is still in effect. In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags instead of overwriting. Signed-off-by:

commit 790198f7 upstream. Fix two bugs of the /dev/fw* character device concerning the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl with nonzero fw_cdev_get_info.bus_reset. (Practically all /dev/fw* clients issue this ioctl right after opening the device.) Both bugs are caused by sizeof(struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset) being 36 without natural alignment and 40 with natural alignment. 1) Memory corruption, affecting i386 userland on amd64 kernel: Userland reserves a 36 bytes large buffer, kernel writes 40 bytes. This has been first found and reported against libraw1394 if compiled with gcc 4.7 which happens to order libraw1394's stack such that the bug became visible as data corruption. 2) Information leak, affecting all kernel architectures except i386: 4 bytes of random kernel stack data were leaked to userspace. Hence limit the respective copy_to_user() to the 32-bit aligned size of struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset. Reported-by:

commit f0a996ee upstream. This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature looks like this: kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed Call Trace: [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed to happen.

commit a520d52e upstream. The Linux EC driver includes a mechanism to detect GPE storms, and switch from interrupt-mode to polling mode. However, polling mode sometimes doesn't work, so the workaround is problematic. Also, different systems seem to need the threshold for detecting the GPE storm at different levels. ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and was changed to 8 in 2.6.28 commit 06cf7d3c "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm threshold" to fix kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt mode if we lift the threshold back to 20. This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a flexible option to debug/workaround this issue. The default is unchanged. This is also a preparation patch to fix specific systems: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45151Signed-off-by:

commit 846a1368 upstream. Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with -O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7 CPUs: volatile int x = 2; volatile int64_t y = 2; int main() { volatile int a = 0; volatile int64_t b = 0; while (1) { a = (a + x) % (1 << 30); b = (b + y) % (1 << 30); assert(a == b); } } and two instances are run. When built for just v7 CPUs, this program works fine. It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction. It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs. Fix that. Tested-By:

commit d35be8ba upstream. In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations. However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to exactly the same state it was in before suspend. In order to achieve that, do the following: 1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all. In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the suspend/resume path. 2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.) 3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in before suspend. Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

commit 00442ad0 upstream. Commit cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption. shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED. get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs, alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the reference count and frees the policy prematurely. Signed-off-by:

commit 63f74ca2 upstream. When shared_policy_replace() fails to allocate new->policy is not freed correctly by mpol_set_shared_policy(). The problem is that shared mempolicy code directly call kmem_cache_free() in multiple places where it is easy to make a mistake. This patch creates an sp_free wrapper function and uses it. The bug was introduced pre-git age (IOW, before 2.6.12-rc2). [mgorman@suse.de: Editted changelog] Signed-off-by:

commit b22d127a upstream. shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

In the following case mbind(addr, len) should replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the MPOL_F_SHARED flag. +-------------------+-------------------+ | vma1 | vma2(shmem) | +-------------------+-------------------+ | | addr addr+len alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED! The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit [52cd3b07: mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting] in 2008. There is another serious bug with the sharing of memory policies. Currently, mempolicy rebind logic (it is called from cpuset rebinding) ignores a refcount of mempolicy and override it forcibly. Thus, any mempolicy sharing may cause mempolicy corruption. The bug was introduced by commit [68860ec1: cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy rebinding]. Ideally, the shared policy handling would be rewritten to either properly handle COW of the policy structures or at least reference count MPOL_F_SHARED based exclusively on information within the policy. However, this patch takes the easier approach of disabling any policy sharing between VMAs. Each new range allocated with sp_alloc will allocate a new policy, set the reference count to 1 and drop the reference count of the old policy. This increases the memory footprint but is not expected to be a major problem as mbind() is unlikely to be used for fine-grained ranges. It is also inefficient because it means we allocate a new policy even in cases where mbind_range() could use the new_policy passed to it. However, it is more straight-forward and the change should be invisible to the user. [mgorman@suse.de: Edited changelog] Reported-by:

commit 8d34694c upstream. Commit 05f144a0 ("mm: mempolicy: Let vma_merge and vma_split handle vma->vm_policy linkages") removed vma->vm_policy updates code but it is the purpose of mbind_range(). Now, mbind_range() is virtually a no-op and while it does not allow memory corruption it is not the right fix. This patch is a revert. [mgorman@suse.de: Edited changelog] Signed-off-by:

commit 477206a0 upstream. The r8169 may get stuck or show bad behaviour after activating TSO : the net_device is not stopped when it has no more TX descriptors. This problem comes from TX_BUFS_AVAIL which may reach -1 when all transmit descriptors are in use. The patch simply tries to keep positive values. Tested with 8111d(onboard) on a D510MO, and with 8111e(onboard) on a Zotac 890GXITX. Signed-off-by:

commit 2a15cd2f upstream. With runtime PM, if the ethernet cable is disconnected, the device is transitioned to D3 state to conserve energy. If the system is shutdown in this state, any register accesses in rtl_shutdown are dropped on the floor. As the device was programmed by .runtime_suspend() to wake on link changes, it is thus brought back up as soon as the link recovers. Resuming every suspended device through the driver core would slow things down and it is not clear how many devices really need it now. Original report and D0 transition patch by Sameer Nanda. Patch has been changed to comply with advices by Rafael J. Wysocki and the PM folks. Reported-by:

commit 811fd301 upstream. Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post 8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow. The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and it should rather avoid messing it. The implementation deserves some explanation: 1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there or should be ignored. 2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions: - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12 ("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset."). This one should now be correctly handled. - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO overflow processing. Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17. Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways. Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant. 3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself. Signed-off-by:

commit 10953db8 upstream The link down would occur when reseting PHY. And it would take about 2 ~ 5 seconds from link down to link up. If the delay of pm_schedule_suspend is not long enough, the device would enter runtime_suspend before link up. After link up, the device would wake up and reset PHY again. Then, you would find the driver keep in a loop of runtime_suspend and rumtime_resume. Signed-off-by:

commit deb9d93c upstream. 8168d and above allow jumbo frames beyond 8k. Bump the received packet length check before enabling jumbo frames on these chipsets. Frame length indication covers bits 0..13 of the first Rx descriptor 32 bits for the 8169 and 8168. I only have authoritative documentation for the allowed use of the extra (13) bit with the 8169 and 8168c. Realtek's drivers use the same mask for the 816x and the fast ethernet only 810x.

commit d58d46b5 upstream. - fix features : jumbo frames and checksumming can not be used at the same time. - introduce hw_jumbo_{enable / disable} helpers. Their content has been creatively extracted from Realtek's own drivers. As an illustration, it would be nice to know how/if the MaxTxPacketSize register operates when the device can work with a 9k jumbo frame as its documentation (8168c) can not be applied beyond ~7k. - rtl_tx_performance_tweak is moved forward. No change. Signed-off-by:
