commit 78c4653a upstream. The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU rate control stats. This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count from the ath_tx_status. Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which may not contain the correct rates in the tx info. This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is submitted. In my tests this change improves throughput visibly. Signed-off-by:

commit 9cc2f3e8 upstream. If the receive path gets stuck, a full hardware reset is necessary to recover from it. If this happens during a scan, the whole scan might fail, as each channel change bypasses the full reset sequence. Fix this by resetting the fast channel change flag if stopping the receive path fails. This will reduce the number of error messages that look like this: ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x40000020 Signed-off-by:

commit 2b40994c upstream. It looks like it might be possible for a TID to be paused, while still holding some queued buffers, however ath_tx_node_cleanup currently only iterates over active TIDs. Fix this by always checking every allocated TID for the STA that is being cleaned up. Signed-off-by:

commit 5fa8517f upstream. The 82576 expects the second rx queue in any pool to receive L2 switch loop back packets sent from the second tx queue in another pool. The 82576 VF driver does not enable the second rx queue so if the PF driver sends packets destined to a VF from its second tx queue then the VF driver will never see them. In SR-IOV mode limit the number of tx queues used by the PF driver to one. This patch fixes a bug reported in which the PF cannot communciate with the VF and should be considered for 2.6.34 stable.

commit ff847ac2 upstream. The MAC-PHY interconnect on 82577/82578 uses a power management feature (called K1) which must be disabled when in 1Gbps due to a hardware issue on these parts. The #define bit setting used to enable/disable K1 is incorrect and can cause PHY register accesses to stop working altogether until the next device reset. This patch sets the register correctly. This issue is present in kernels since 2.6.32. Signed-off-by:

commit 36f2407f upstream. Should e1000_test_msi() fail to see an msi interrupt, it attempts to fallback to legacy INTx interrupts. But an error in the code may prevent this from happening correctly. Before calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), e1000_test_msi() disables SERR by clearing the SERR bit from the just read PCI_COMMAND bits as it writes them back out. Upon return from calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), it re-enables SERR by writing out the version of PCI_COMMAND it had previously read. The problem with this is that e1000_test_msi_interrupt() calls pci_disable_msi(), which eventually ends up in pci_intx(). And because pci_intx() was called with enable set to 1, the INTX_DISABLE bit gets cleared from PCI_COMMAND, which is what we want. But when we get back to e1000_test_msi(), the INTX_DISABLE bit gets inadvertently re-set because of the attempt by e1000_test_msi() to re-enable SERR. The solution is to have e1000_test_msi() re-read the PCI_COMMAND bits as part of its attempt to re-enable SERR. During debugging/testing of this issue I found that not all the systems I ran on had the SERR bit set to begin with. And on some of the systems the same could be said for the INTX_DISABLE bit. Needless to say these latter systems didn't have a problem falling back to legacy INTx interrupts with the code as is. Signed-off-by:

commit 06c4648d upstream. Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use to explicitly trigger the notification. Signed-off-by:

commit e75aa858 upstream. bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are identical. This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393 __bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as those are serialized down in the call chain anyway. Fix it by always allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block. This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a disk. Signed-off-by:

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to 2.6.32 62eede62 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target. I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages. Reported-by:

I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC control register. With this patch, both card work. Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load. Signed-off-by:

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so. This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in kunmap_high_l1_vipt(). The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call to preempt_disable(). Originally by: Andrew Howe <ahowe@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by:

In root_nfs_name() it does the following: if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) { printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n"); return -1; } sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp); In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN) then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[] buffer. Signed-off-by:

Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation condition: lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held() as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held. Instead, add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. Fix __task_cred()'s comment to: (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying. (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used instead. Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too. Signed-off-by:Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by:
