When a PCI bus has two resources with the same start/end, e.g., pci_bus 0000:04: resource 2 [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref] pci_bus 0000:04: resource 7 [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff] the previous pci_bus_find_resource_prev() implementation would alternate between them forever: pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref]) returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff] pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff]) returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref] pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref]) returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff] ... This happened because there was no ordering between two resources with the same start and end. A resource that had the same start and end as the cursor, but was not itself the cursor, was considered to be before the cursor. This patch fixes the hang by making a fixed ordering between any two resources. In addition, it tries to allocate from positively decoded regions before using any subtractively decoded resources. This means we will use a positive decode region before a subtractive decode one, even if it means using a smaller address.

When we enable a PCI device, we avoid doing a lot of the initial setup work if the device's enable count is non-zero. If we don't fetch the power state though, we may later fail to set up MSI due to the unknown status. So pick it up before we short circuit the rest due to a pre-existing enable or mismatched enable/disable pair (as happens with VGA devices, which are special in a special way).

The checks for valid mmaps of PCI resources made through /proc/bus/pci files that were introduced in 9eff02e2 have several problems: 1. mmap() calls on /proc/bus/pci files are made with real file offsets > 0, whereas under /sys/bus/pci/devices, the start of the resource corresponds to offset 0. This may lead to false negatives in pci_mmap_fits(), which implicitly assumes the /sys/bus/pci/devices layout. 2. The loop in proc_bus_pci_mmap doesn't skip empty resouces. This leads to false positives, because pci_mmap_fits() doesn't treat empty resources correctly (the calculated size is 1 << (8*sizeof(resource_size_t)-PAGE_SHIFT) in this case!). 3. If a user maps resources with BAR > 0, pci_mmap_fits will emit bogus WARNINGS for the first resources that don't fit until the correct one is found. On many controllers the first 2-4 BARs are used, and the others are empty. In this case, an mmap attempt will first fail on the non-empty BARs (including the "right" BAR because of 1.) and emit bogus WARNINGS because of 3., and finally succeed on the first empty BAR because of 2. This is certainly not the intended behaviour. This patch addresses all 3 issues. Updated with an enum type for the additional parameter for pci_mmap_fits().

Some BIOSes provide PCI host bridge windows that overlap, e.g., pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xb0000000-0xffffffff] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xdfffffff] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff] If we simply insert these as children of iomem_resource, the second window fails because it conflicts with the first, and the third is inserted as a child of the first, i.e., b0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00 f0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00 When we claim PCI device resources, this can cause collisions like this if we put them in the first window: pci 0000:00:01.0: address space collision: [mem 0xff300000-0xff4fffff] conflicts with PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff] Host bridge windows are top-level resources by definition, so it doesn't make sense to make the third window a child of the first. This patch coalesces any host bridge windows that overlap. For the example above, the result is this single window: pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xffffffff] This fixes a 2.6.34 regression.

While testing various randconfigs with ktest.pl, I hit the following panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7e54b03 IP: [<c0d63409>] ibmphp_access_ebda+0x101/0x19bb Adding printks, I found that the loop that reads the ebda blocks can move out of the mapped section. ibmphp_access_ebda: start=f7e44c00 size=5120 end=f7e46000 ibmphp_access_ebda: io_mem=f7e44d80 offset=384 ibmphp_access_ebda: io_mem=f7e54b03 offset=65283 The start of the iomap was at f7e44c00 and had a size of 5120, making the end f7e46000. We start with an offset of 0x180 or 384, giving the first read at 0xf7e44d80. Reading that location yields 65283, which is much bigger than the 5120 that was allocated and makes the next read at f7e54b03 which is outside the mapped area. Perhaps this is a bug in the driver, or buggy hardware, but this patch is more about not crashing my box on start up and just giving a warning if it detects this error. This patch at least lets my box boot with just a warning.

As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855b ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to mprotect_fixup(). Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is executable.

Commit 13cfb733 made cifs_ioctl use the tlink attached to the cifsFileInfo for a filp. This ignores the case of an open directory however, which in CIFS can have a NULL private_data until a readdir is done on it. This patch re-adds the NULL pointer checks that were removed in commit 50ae28f0 and moves the setting of tcon and "caps" variables lower. Long term, a better fix would be to establish a f_op->open routine for directories that populates that field at open time, but that requires some other changes to how readdir calls are handled.

Commit 5c521830 (ext4: Support discard requests when running in no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932ed (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context. For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this: BUG: scheduling while atomic: rc.sysinit/1376/0x00000002 Pid: 1376, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810397ce>] __schedule_bug+0x5e/0x70 [<ffffffff81403110>] schedule+0x950/0xa70 [<ffffffff81060bad>] ? insert_work+0x7d/0x90 [<ffffffff81060fbd>] ? queue_work_on+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81061127>] ? queue_work+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8140377d>] schedule_timeout+0x21d/0x360 [<ffffffff812031c3>] ? generic_make_request+0x2c3/0x540 [<ffffffff81402680>] wait_for_common+0xc0/0x150 [<ffffffff81041490>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff812034bc>] ? submit_bio+0x7c/0x100 [<ffffffff810680a0>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff814027b8>] wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8120a969>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x1b9/0x210 [<ffffffff811ba03e>] ext4_free_blocks+0x68e/0xb60 [<ffffffff811b1650>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x110/0x120 [<ffffffff811b098c>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x8cc/0xa70 [<ffffffff810d713e>] ? pagevec_lookup+0x1e/0x30 [<ffffffff81191618>] ext4_truncate+0x178/0x5d0 [<ffffffff810eacbb>] ? unmap_mapping_range+0xab/0x280 [<ffffffff810d8976>] vmtruncate+0x56/0x70 [<ffffffff811925cb>] ext4_setattr+0x14b/0x460 [<ffffffff811319e4>] notify_change+0x194/0x380 [<ffffffff81117f80>] do_truncate+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffff811e08fa>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811eaec1>] ? tomoyo_path_truncate+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff81127539>] do_last+0x5d9/0x770 [<ffffffff811278bd>] do_filp_open+0x1ed/0x680 [<ffffffff8140644f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81132bfc>] ? alloc_fd+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81118db1>] do_sys_open+0x61/0x120 [<ffffffff81118e8b>] sys_open+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff81002e6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302Reported-by: Mathias Burén <mathias.buren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: jiayingz@google.com

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/ directory. For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained "ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead. Which made it all fail badly. For example, on module unload as reported by Randy: WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e() name 'libipw' because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously doesn't even exist.

Commit 48821184 ("floppy: switch to one queue per drive instead of sharing a queue") introduced a use-after-free. We do "put_disk()" on the disk device _before_ we then clean up the queue associated with that disk. Move the put_disk() down to avoid dereferencing a free'd data structure.

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD timers from signal->cpu_timers list. But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group. This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader. After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems. It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct. Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular, tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of nontrivial and hard-to-test changes. Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW, this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway: cpu timers do not work after mt exec. In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However, the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().
