commit 2b7aaf50 upstream. This patch (as1463) fixes a regression caused by commit 3df7169e (OHCI: work around for nVidia shutdown problem). The original problem encountered by people using NVIDIA chipsets was that USB devices were not turning off when the system shut down. For example, the LED on an optical mouse would remain on, draining a laptop's battery. The problem was caused by a bug in the chipset; an OHCI controller in the Reset state would continue to drive a bus reset signal even after system shutdown. The workaround was to put the controllers into the Suspend state instead. It turns out that later NVIDIA chipsets do not suffer from this bug. Instead some have the opposite bug: If a system is shut down while an OHCI controller is in the Suspend state, USB devices remain powered! On other systems, shutting down with a Suspended controller causes the system to reboot immediately. Thus, working around the original bug on some machines exposes other bugs on other machines. The best solution seems to be to limit the workaround to OHCI controllers with a low-numbered PCI product ID. I don't know exactly at what point NVIDIA changed their chipsets; the value used here is a guess. So far it was worked out okay for all the people who have tested it. This fixes Bugzilla #35032.

commit b513d447 upstream. Dmitry's patch dfa49c4a USB: xhci - fix math in xhci_get_endpoint_interval() introduced a bug. The USB 2.0 spec says that full speed isochronous endpoints' bInterval must be decoded as an exponent to a power of two (e.g. interval = 2^(bInterval - 1)). Full speed interrupt endpoints, on the other hand, don't use exponents, and the interval in frames is encoded straight into bInterval. Dmitry's patch was supposed to fix up the full speed isochronous to parse bInterval as an exponent, but instead it changed the *interrupt* endpoint bInterval decoding. The isochronous endpoint encoding was the same. This caused full speed devices with interrupt endpoints (including mice, hubs, and USB to ethernet devices) to fail under NEC 0.96 xHCI host controllers: [ 100.909818] xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: add ep 0x83, slot id 1, new drop flags = 0x0, new add flags = 0x99, new slot info = 0x38100000 [ 100.909821] xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: xhci_check_bandwidth called for udev ffff88011f0ea000 ...

[ 100.910190] xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: xhci_reset_bandwidth called for udev ffff88011f0ea000 When the interrupt endpoint was added and a Configure Endpoint command was issued to the host, the host controller would return a very odd error message (0x11 means "Slot Not Enabled", which isn't true because the slot was enabled). Probably the host controller was getting very confused with the bad encoding. Signed-off-by:

commit 472b9127 upstream. composite.c always sets req->length to zero and expects function driver's setup handlers to return the amount of bytes to be used on req->length. If we test against req->length w_length will always be greater than req->length thus making us always stall that particular SEND_ENCAPSULATED_COMMAND request. Tested against a Windows XP SP3.

commit a1c15c59 upstream. When finding or allocating a loop device, loop_probe() did not take partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different device.

It does not need to be limited by partition numbers unless 'max_loop' param was specified. Signed-off-by:

commit 78f4bb36 upstream. The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device nodes in some cases). On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu, it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive: $ sudo modprobe loop max_part0000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /media/Linux_Data/project/linux/fs/sysfs/group.c:65! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 0 Modules linked in: loop(+) Pid: 43, comm: insmod Tainted: G W 2.6.39-qemu+ #155 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8113ce61>] [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group= +0x2a/0x170 RSP: 0018:ffff880007b3fde8 EFLAGS: 00000246 RAX: 00000000ffffffef RBX: ffff880007b3d878 RCX: 00000000000007b4 RDX: ffffffff8152da50 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff880007b3d878 RBP: ffff880007b3fe38 R08: ffff880007b3fde8 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88000783b4a8 R11: ffff880007b3d878 R12: ffffffff8152da50 R13: ffff880007b3d868 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff880007b3d800 FS: 0000000002137880(0063) GS:ffff880007c00000(0000) knlGS:00000000000000= 00 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000422680 CR3: 0000000007b50000 CR4: 00000000000006b0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 0000000000000000 DR7: 0000000000000000 Process insmod (pid: 43, threadinfo ffff880007b3e000, task ffff880007afb9c= 0) Stack: ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e66dd ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e570b 0000000000000010 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007a7b390 ffff880007b3d868 0000000000400920 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007b3fe48 ffffffff8113cfc8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811e66dd>] ? device_add+0x4bc/0x5af [<ffffffff811e570b>] ? dev_set_name+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff8113cfc8>] sysfs_create_group+0xe/0x12 [<ffffffff810b420e>] blk_trace_init_sysfs+0x14/0x16 [<ffffffff8116a090>] blk_register_queue+0x47/0xf7 [<ffffffff8116f527>] add_disk+0xdf/0x290 [<ffffffffa00060eb>] loop_init+0xeb/0x1b8 [loop] [<ffffffffa0006000>] ? 0xffffffffa0005fff [<ffffffff8100020a>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x12e [<ffffffff81096804>] sys_init_module+0x9c/0x1e0 [<ffffffff813329bb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: c3 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 41 89 f6 41 55 41 54 49 89 d4 53 48 89 fb= 48 83 ec 28 48 85 ff 74 0b 85 f6 75 0b 48 83 7f 30 00 75 14 <0f> 0b eb fe = 48 83 7f 30 00 b9 ea ff ff ff 0f 84 18 01 00 00 49 RIP [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group+0x2a/0x170 RSP <ffff880007b3fde8> ---[ end trace a123eb592043acad ]--- Signed-off-by:

commit 8c8def26 upstream. I'm not entirely sure it needs to go into 32, but it's probably the right thing to do. Another way of explaining the patch is: - we currently pick the _first_ exactly matching bus resource entry, but the _last_ inexactly matching one. Normally first/last shouldn't matter, but bus resource entries aren't actually all created equal: in a transparent bus, the last resources will be the parent resources, which we should generally try to avoid unless we have no choice. So "first matching" is the thing we should always aim for. - the patch is a bit bigger than it needs to be, because I simplified the logic at the same time. It used to be a fairly incomprehensible if ((res->flags & IORESOURCE_PREFETCH) && !(r->flags & IORESOURCE_PREFETCH)) best = r; /* Approximating prefetchable by non-prefetchable */ and technically, all the patch did was to make that complex choice be even more complex (it basically added a "&& !best" to say that if we already gound a non-prefetchable window for the prefetchable resource, then we won't override an earlier one with that later one: remember "first matching"). - So instead of that complex one with three separate conditionals in one, I split it up a bit, and am taking advantage of the fact that we already handled the exact case, so if 'res->flags' has the PREFETCH bit, then we already know that 'r->flags' will _not_ have it. So the simplified code drops the redundant test, and does the new '!best' test separately. It also uses 'continue' as a way to ignore the bus resource we know doesn't work (ie a prefetchable bus resource is _not_ acceptable for anything but an exact match), so it turns into: /* We can't insert a non-prefetch resource inside a prefetchable parent .. */ if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_PREFETCH) continue; /* .. but we can put a prefetchable resource inside a non-prefetchable one */ if (!best) best = r; instead. With the comments, it's now six lines instead of two, but it's conceptually simpler, and I _could_ have written it as two lines: if ((res->flags & IORESOURCE_PREFETCH) && !best) best = r; /* Approximating prefetchable by non-prefetchable */ but I thought that was too damn subtle.

commit cfa54a0f upstream. I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is available. Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed by the oom-kill of the stress-test. The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0, __alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with __alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested, then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely. The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node. Signed-off-by:

commit 5db1256a upstream. Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent. A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed af5ab277 (clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall. Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang. A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock reader has interrupts disabled. At first I was confused why the refactor in 3c22cd57 (kernel: optimise seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future. While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.

commit ba9f207c upstream. HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter(). But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call rcu_irq_exit(). So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled, we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state internal state. As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period delays (as in grace periods extending for hours). To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle. As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore "rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof", which eventually helped finding this bug. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit d47cc0db upstream. The workaround for Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012 introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr. Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying this workaround when running inside KVM. This issue was reported as: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132 and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the _safe msr access methods. Reported-by:

commit e9cdd343 upstream. Commit b87cf80a added support for ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it is in a deep C state, including C1E state. Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to broadcasting timer when going idle. Signed-off-by:

commit d9b01934 upstream. If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

commit 2842bb20 upstream. In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier. Reported-by:

This lead to only some of these buffers being written out and thus effectively corrupting the directory. Fix the issue by marking all changed data dirty even in the error failure case. Signed-off-by:

commit 26afb7c6 upstream. As reported in BZ #30352: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352 there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64. The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following check for address limit: if (buf + size >= limit) fail(); while it should be more permissive: if (buf + size > limit) fail(); That's because the size represents the number of bytes being read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address. So the copy function will actually never touch the limit address even if "buf + size == limit". Following program fails to use the last page as buffer due to the wrong limit check: #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <assert.h> #define PAGE_SIZE (4096) #define LAST_PAGE ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000)) int main() { int fds[2], err; void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE); err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds); assert(err == 0); err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0); perror("send"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL); perror("recv"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); return 0; } The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function, which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well. The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus (#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor Hang). However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page. The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place. This bug would normally not show up because the last page is part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls. Signed-off-by:

commit 0a58e077 upstream. blk_cleanup_queue() calls elevator_exit() and after this, we can't touch the elevator without oopsing. __elv_next_request() must check for this state because in the refcounted queue model, we can still call it after blk_cleanup_queue() has been called. This was reported as causing an oops attributable to scsi. Signed-off-by:

commit 02e35228 upstream. __blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails, which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal is known to both the kernel and userland. The behavior also creates a subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to work around the problem from userland. Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after -ENOMEDIA too. This was reported in the following bz. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13029 Stable: 2.6.38 Signed-off-by:

commit ad5d5292 upstream. Commit 0837e324 fixes a situation on POWER7 where events can roll back if a specualtive event doesn't actually complete. This can raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to ensure that we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be less than 256 cycles from overflow. This patch lifts Anton's fix for the problem in perf and applies it to oprofile as well. Signed-off-by:

commit 3d2cea73 upstream. Commit 1fc711f7 (powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown) moved the write to signal the cpu had exited the kernel from before the transition to real mode in kexec_smp_wait to kexec_wait. Unfornately it missed that kexec_wait is used both by cpus leaving the kernel and by secondary slave cpus that were not allocated a paca for what ever reason -- they could be beyond nr_cpus or not described in the current device tree for whatever reason (for example, kexec-load was not refreshed after a cpu hotplug operation). Cpus coming through that path they will write to paca[NR_CPUS] which is beyond the space allocated for the paca data and overwrite memory not allocated to pacas but very likely still real mode accessable). Move the write back to kexec_smp_wait, which is used only by cpus that found their paca, but after the transition to real mode. Signed-off-by:

commit 98586ed8 upstream. When a CPU is taken offline in an SMP system, cpufreq_remove_dev() nulls out the per-cpu policy before cpufreq_stats_free_table() can make use of it. cpufreq_stats_free_table() then skips the call to sysfs_remove_group(), leaving about 100 bytes of sysfs-related memory unclaimed each time a CPU-removal occurs. Break up cpu_stats_free_table into sysfs and table portions, and call the sysfs portion early. Signed-off-by:

commit 27ecddc2 upstream. When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by cpufreq. This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings. Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken care of near the top of the function). Signed-off-by:

commit 52c3ce4e upstream. The kmemleak_seq_next() function tries to get an object (and increment its use count) before returning it. If it could not get the last object during list traversal (because it may have been freed), the function should return NULL rather than a pointer to such object that it did not get. Signed-off-by:

Commit c23a103f wrongly introduced references to the unified firmware file "phanfw.bin", which is not supported by netxen in 2.6.32. The driver reports this filename when loading firmware from flash, and includes a MODULE_FIRMWARE hint for the filename even though it will never use it. Signed-off-by:

commit ebde6f8a upstream. During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.
