There might be another few of these where ->name or ->dev was used before struct device or net_device was registered.

If we are managing IPv6 addresses using DHCP, it would be nice for user-space to be notified if an address configured through DHCP fails DAD. Otherwise user-space would have to poll to see whether DAD succeeds. This patch uses the existing notification mechanism and simply hooks it into the DAD failure code path.

While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334. v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666. This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in locks_remove_flock(). v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when unlocking a file.

de957628 changed setting of the x86_init.iommu.iommu_init function ptr only when GART IOMMU is found. One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges is not initialized anymore if not explicitly called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in <arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>, for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through node_to_k8_nb_misc(). Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're running before that. What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of hardware dependency should be AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD && PCI. Make it so Number One!

A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications to segfault during the test. Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would trigger the segfault within seconds: # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable # while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI. 1) | copy_user_handle_tail() { 1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | no_context() { 1) | fixup_exception() { 1) 0.319 us | search_exception_tables(); 1) 0.873 us | } [...] 1) 0.314 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 1) 0.325 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 1) 0.943 us | } 1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit(); [...] 1) 0.479 us | find_vma(); 1) | bad_area() { 1) | __bad_area() { After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I found out it was here: ffffffff8135b660 <page_fault>: ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry> What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted. The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and increase the chances of the race happening. The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context. After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less than a minute. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop() is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace output. These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these buffers between the two disables: buffer = global_trace.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); <<<--------- swap happens here buffer = max_tr.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start() we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable() must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug where a reset happens while a trace is commiting. This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent a switch from occurring. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset. buffer = tr->buffer; ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); synchronize_sched(); __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu); If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on. This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following: for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--) next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp; Will cause a kernel OOPS.

The ring buffer resizing and resetting relies on a schedule RCU action. The buffers are disabled, a synchronize_sched() is called and then the resize or reset takes place. But this only works if the disabling of the buffers are within the preempt disabled section, otherwise a window exists that the buffers can be written to while a reset or resize takes place.
