yield_to_task_fair() has code to resched the CPU of yielding task when the intention is to resched the CPU of the task that is being yielded to. Change here fixes the problem and also makes the resched conditional on rq != p_rq.

The current scheduler implementation returns -EPERM when trying to change from SCHED_IDLE to SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH. Since SCHED_IDLE is considered to be a nice 20 on steroids, changing to another policy should be allowed provided the RLIMIT_NICE is accounted for. This patch allows the following test-case to pass with RLIMIT_NICE=40, but still fail with RLIMIT_NICE=10 when the calling process is run from a typical shell (nice 0, or 20 in rlimit terms). int main() { int ret; struct sched_param sp; sp.sched_priority = 0; /* switch to SCHED_IDLE */ ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_IDLE, &sp); printf("setscheduler IDLE: %d\n", ret); if (ret) return ret; /* switch back to SCHED_OTHER */ ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_OTHER, &sp); printf("setscheduler OTHER: %d\n", ret); return ret; } $ ulimit -e 40 $ ./test setscheduler IDLE: 0 setscheduler OTHER: 0 $ ulimit -e 10 $ ulimit -e 10 $ ./test setscheduler IDLE: 0 setscheduler OTHER: -1 Signed-off-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> LKML-Reference: <4D657BEE.4040608@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Perform the test for SCHED_IDLE before testing for SCHED_BATCH (and ensure idle tasks don't preempt idle tasks) so the non-interactive, but still important, SCHED_BATCH tasks will run in favor of the very low priority SCHED_IDLE tasks.

The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical scheduling, this patch fixes two problems 1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not throttled. 2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue. The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued. Tested with a simple hierarchy /c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while 1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the task is throttled and runs as expected.

When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076]. Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing. Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated. The buggy code was added in: commit 4a2d7892 Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100 Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2] This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program compiled with -lkeyutils: #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #include <err.h> static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6"; int main() { key_serial_t key; key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload), KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING); if (key == -1) err(1, "add_key"); if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1) err(1, "read_key"); return 0; } What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user: dns-break: read_key: No such device or address but instead the kernel oopses. This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return -EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read. The oops looks like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 IP: [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f PGD 3bdf8067 PUD 385b9067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/irq CPU 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 2150, comm: dns-break Not tainted 2.6.38-rc7-cachefs+ #468 /DG965RY RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811b99f7>] [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP: 0018:ffff88003bf47f08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff88003b5ea378 RCX: ffffffff81972368 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88003b5ea378 RBP: ffff88003bf47f28 R08: ffff88003be56620 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000395 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffffffffffffa1 FS: 00007feab5751700(0000) GS:ffff88003e000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000010 CR3: 000000003de40000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process dns-break (pid: 2150, threadinfo ffff88003bf46000, task ffff88003be56090) Stack: ffff88003b5ea378 ffff88003b5ea3a0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff88003bf47f68 ffffffff811b708e ffff88003c442bc8 0000000000000000 00000000004005a0 00007fffba368060 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b708e>] keyctl_read_key+0xac/0xcf [<ffffffff811b7c07>] sys_keyctl+0x75/0xb6 [<ffffffff81001f7b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 75 1f 48 83 7b 28 00 75 18 c6 05 58 2b fb 00 01 be bb 00 00 00 48 c7 c7 76 1c 75 81 e8 13 c2 e9 ff 4c 8b b3 e0 00 00 00 4d 85 ed <41> 0f b7 5e 10 74 2d 4d 85 e4 74 28 e8 98 79 ee ff 49 39 dd 48 RIP [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP <ffff88003bf47f08> CR2: 0000000000000010 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> cc: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing. For example, with a sync write we get: write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + = 8 [write_test] Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request, it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more. With this patch, after a sync write we get: write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 += 8 [write_test] Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

commit 33941284 (RxRPC: Allow key payloads to be passed in XDR form) broke klog for me. I notice the v1 key struct had a kif_version field added: -struct rxkad_key { - u16 security_index; /* RxRPC header security index */ - u16 ticket_len; /* length of ticket[] */ - u32 expiry; /* time at which expires */ - u32 kvno; /* key version number */ - u8 session_key[8]; /* DES session key */ - u8 ticket[0]; /* the encrypted ticket */ -}; +struct rxrpc_key_data_v1 { + u32 kif_version; /* 1 */ + u16 security_index; + u16 ticket_length; + u32 expiry; /* time_t */ + u32 kvno; + u8 session_key[8]; + u8 ticket[0]; +}; However the code in rxrpc_instantiate strips it away: data += sizeof(kver); datalen -= sizeof(kver); Removing kif_version fixes my problem.

We service 2 queues (kcq1 and kcq2) in cnic_service_bnx2x_bh(). If the status block index has changed when servicing the kcq2, we must go back and check kcq1. The latest status block index will be used to acknowledge the interrupt, and without looping back to check kcq1, we may miss events on kcq1.

Commit e2f2a93b, "of/promtree: add package-to-path support to pdt" changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to using package-to-path. This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by eliminating conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides names like 'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like '/foo/bar/battery@0', which we stripped to 'battery@0'). However, it also breaks of_device_id table matching. The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon package-to-path ('battery@0'). This patch does just that. This changes all users (except SPARC) of promtree to use the full result from package-to-path for full_name, rather than stripping the directory out. In practice, the strings end up being exactly the same; this change saves time, code, and memory. SPARC continues to use the existing build_path_component() code. v2: combine two patches and revert of_pdt_node_name to original version v3: use dp->phandle instead of passing around node v4: warn/bail out for non-sparc archs if pkg2path is not set v5: split of_pdt_build_full_name into sparc & non-sparc versions v6: Pass NULL to pkg2path before buf gets assigned. Drop check for pkg2path hook on each and every node. v7: Don't BUG() when unable to get the full_path; create a known-unique name instead.
