The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64 is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code the system leaks some of the hugepages. ------------------------------------------------------- Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 5500 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Just before shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4475 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB After shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4988 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB ---------------------------------------------------------- The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2 that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload. The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach, it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do with keys that are in module space.

I've verified (on my Initio 9100 with a DAT drive) that the 2.6.24-rc8-git6 initio module still hangs on loading. These fixes (other than the printk) are needed to get the module to load ok (and work correctly) with my adapter & tape drive. a) printk cosmetic fix b) cblk->sglen needs setting for later DMA I/O routines to use c) host->bios_addr needs setting for debug output correctness d) semaph & semaph_lock initialisation had got lost since 2.6.22 e) since 2.6.22 the bios data address was truncated to 16 bits (needs 20 when shifted left) Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that allocated it. As such it means that the first skb gets hit with a 4K charge even though it might have only used a fraction of it while all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge at all.

Changeset 16b110c3 (dmfe warning fix) bothed up the offsets read from the SROM so that it doesn't read the same datums it used to. The change made transformations like turning: "srom + 34" into "(__le32 *)srom + 34/4" which doesn't work because 4 does not divide evenly into 34 so we're using a different pointer offset than in the original code. I've changed theses cases in dmfe_parse_srom() to consistently use "(type *)(srom + offset)" preserving the offsets from the original code. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jordan Crouse authored
When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse. This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get an event, it will go to the handler. Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the event, even if the timer isn't running.

The extra rom[0] check is flagging valid temperatures as invalid when there is already a CRC data transmission check. w1_therm_read_bin() if (rom[8] == crc && rom[0]) verdict = 1; Requiring rom[0] to be non-zero will flag as invalid temperature conversions when the low byte is zero, specifically the temperatures 0C, 16C, 32C, 48C, -16C, -32C, and -48C. The CRC check is produced on the device for the previous 8 bytes and is required to ensure the data integrity in transmission. I don't see why the extra check for rom[0] being non-zero is in there. Evgeniy Polyakov didn't know either. Just for a check I unplugged the sensor, executed a temperature conversion, and read the results. The read was all ff's, which also failed the CRC, so it doesn't need to protect against a disconnected sensor. I have more extensive patches in the work, but these two trivial ones will do for today. I would like to hear from people who use the ds2490 USB to one wire dongle. 1 if you would be willing to test the patches as I currently only have the one sensor on a short parisite powered wire, 2 if there is any cheap sources for the ds2490.

Correct the decoding of negative C temperatures. The code did a binary OR of two bytes to make a 16 bit value, but assignd it to an integer. This caused the value to not be sign extended and to loose that it was a negative number in the assignment.

The IT8705F and related parts are Super I/O controllers that contain many separate devices. Some BIOSes describe IT8705F I/O port usage under a motherboard device (PNP0C02) with overlapping regions, e.g., 0x290-0x29f and 0x290-0x294. The it87 driver supports only the Environment Controller, which requires only two ISA ports, but it used to request an eight-port range. If that range exceeds a range reported by the BIOS, as 0x290-0x297 would, the request fails, and the it87 driver cannot claim the device. This patch makes the it87 driver request only the two ports used for the Environment Controller device. Systems where this problem has been reported: Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra 9 Gigabyte M56S-S3 Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 Kernel bug reports: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9514 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/4/466 Related change: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a7839e960675b549f06209d18283d5cee2ce9261 The patch above increases the number of PNP port resources we support. Prior to this patch, we ignored some port resources, which masked the it87 problem. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>

The reporter of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9791 tracked it down to this commit and confirmed that reverting the patch restores the correct behaviour.

With a sparc64 defconfig modified to set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n the following error happened during link of vmlinux: local symbol 0: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o local symbol 1: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o (The error message above is from kbuild.git but it happens in mainline too) The error happens becase there is a reference from .text/.data to a function marked __devexit. With CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n all code marked __devexit are discarded and the linker complains. It was tracked down to sparcspkr.c which were missing __devexit_p() around the function pointers. Unfortunately modpost did not catch this since modpost do not warn about references from .data to .devexit from variables named *_driver.
