When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b77046 and cbe9352f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

Commit 76db6d95 (nfs41: add session setup to the state manager) introduces an infinite loop possibility in the NFSv4 state manager. By first checking nfs4_has_session() before clearing the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP flag, it allows for a situation where someone sets that flag, but it never gets cleared, and so the state manager loops. In fact commit c3fad1b1 (nfs41: add session reset to state manager) causes this to happen every time we get a network partition error.

2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec1 removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy(). In detail: Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock() is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel instability. The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb(). A functions set: local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() B functions set: local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Acked-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100 chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers. This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API, allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking other architectures).

In commit a8e7d49a ("Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside __set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers. That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable. And indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen. Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla entries that look similar: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876 and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate). I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.

As noted in 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 for details.

RTL8187B always needs MSR_LINK_ENEDCA flag to be set even when it is in no link mode, otherwise it'll not be able to associate when this flag is not set after the change "mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling". By accident, setting BSSID of AP before association makes 8187B to successfuly associate even when ENEDCA flag isn't set, which was the case before the mac80211 change. But now the BSSID of AP we are trying to associate is only available after association is successful, and any attempt to associate without the needed flag doesn't work.

When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set. So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean for whether the result has any bits set.
