Commit 63706172 ("kthreads: rework kthread_stop()") removed the limitation that the thread function mysr not call do_exit() itself, but forgot to update the comment. Since that commit it is OK to use kthread_stop() even if kthread can exit itself.

The check_modstruct_version() needs to look up the symbol "module_layout" in the kernel, but it does so literally and not by a C identifier. The trouble is that it does not include a symbol prefix for those ports that need it (like the Blackfin and H8300 port). So make sure we tack on the MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX define to the front of it.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works. Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted, we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions. The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

Every time a request is enqueued or there is some work outstanding from the ap_tasklet, the ap_poll_timer is scheduled again. Unfortunately it was permanently called. It looked as if it was started in the past and thus imediately expired. This has been changed. First it is checked if the hrtimer is already expired. Then the expiring time is forwarded and the timer restarted. Signed-off-by: Felix Beck <felix.beck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The combination of noexec=on and a clock_gettime call with clock id CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is broken. The vdso code switches to the access register mode to get access to the per-cpu data structure to execute the magic ectg instruction. After the ectg instruction the code always switches back to the primary mode but for noexec=on the correct mode is the secondary mode. The effect of the bug is that the user space program looses the access to all mappings without PROT_EXEC, e.g. the stack. The problem is fixed by restoring the mode that has been active before the switch to the access register mode. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

swsusp_arch_suspend() actually saves all cpu register contents on hibernation. Machine checks must be disabled since swsusp_arch_suspend() stores register contents to their lowcore save areas. That's the same place where register contents on machine checks would be saved. To avoid register corruption disable machine checks. We must also disable machine checks in the new psw mask for program checks, since swsusp_arch_suspend() may generate program checks.

Our swsusp_arch_suspend() backend implementation disables prefixing by setting the contents of the prefix register to 0. However afterwards common code functions are called which might access percpu data structures. Since the lowcore contains e.g. the percpu base pointer this isn't a good idea. So fix this by copying the hibernating cpu's lowcore to absolute address zero. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Incorrect device area lengths are being passed to device_area_is_valid(). The regression appeared in 2.6.31-rc1 through commit 754c5fc7. With the dm-stripe target, the size of the target (ti->len) was used instead of the stripe_width (ti->len/#stripes). An example of a consequent incorrect error message is: device-mapper: table: 254:0: sdb too small for target Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

This patch removes DM's bio-based vs request-based conditional setting of next_ordered. For bio-based DM the next_ordered check is no longer a concern (as that check is now in the __make_request path). For request-based DM the default of QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE is now appropriate. bio-based DM was changed to work-around the previously misplaced next_ordered check with this commit: 99360b4c request-based DM does not yet support barriers but reacted to the above bio-based DM change with this commit: 5d67aa23 The above changes are no longer needed given Neil Brown's recent fix to put the next_ordered check in the __make_request path: db64f680Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Acked-by: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@ct.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

The recent commit 7513c2a7 (dm raid1: add is_remote_recovering hook for clusters) changed do_writes() to update the ms->writes list but forgot to wake up kmirrord to process it. The rule is that when anything is being added on ms->reads, ms->writes or ms->failures and the list was empty before we must call wakeup_mirrord (for immediate processing) or delayed_wake (for delayed processing). Otherwise the bios could sit on the list indefinitely. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/396780 Commit 073aaa1b "helpers for acl caching + switch to those" introduced new helper functions for acl handling but seems to have introduced a regression for jfs as the acl is released before returning it to the caller, instead of leaving this for the caller to do. This causes the acl object to be used after freeing it, leading to kernel panics in completely different places. Thanks to Christophe Dumez for reporting and bisecting into this.

This off-by-one bug causes sendfile() to not work properly. When a task calls sendfile() on a file on a CIFS filesystem, the syscall returns -1 and sets errno to EOVERFLOW. do_sendfile uses s_maxbytes to verify the returned offset of the file. The problem there is that this value is cast to a signed value (loff_t). When this is done on the s_maxbytes value that cifs uses, it becomes negative and the comparisons against it fail. Even though s_maxbytes is an unsigned value, it seems that it's not OK to set it in such a way that it'll end up negative when it's cast to a signed value. These casts happen in other codepaths besides sendfile too, but the VFS is a little hard to follow in this area and I can't be sure if there are other bugs that this will fix. It's not clear to me why s_maxbytes isn't just declared as loff_t in the first place, but either way we still need to fix these values to make sendfile work properly. This is also an opportunity to replace the magic bit-shift values here with the standard #defines for this. This fixes the reproducer program I have that does a sendfile and will probably also fix the situation where apache is serving from a CIFS share.
