Thomas Gleixner authored
The low level irq chip functions want access to irq_desc->irq_data. Provide new functions which hand down irq_data instead of the irq number so these functions avoid to call irq_to_desc() which is a radix tree lookup in case of sparse irq. This provides all the old functions except one: end(). end() is a relict of __do_IRQ() and will just go away with the __do_IRQ() code. The replacement for set_affinity() has an extra argument "bool force". The reason for this is to notify the low level code, that the move has to be done right away and cannot be delayed until the next interrupt happens. That's necessary to handle the irq fixup on cpu unplug in the generic code.

Thomas Gleixner authored
Low level chip functions need access to irq_desc->handler_data, irq_desc->chip_data and irq_desc->msi_desc. We hand down the irq number to the low level functions, so they need to lookup irq_desc. With sparse irq this means a radix tree lookup. We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to irq_desc further. Preparatory patch for new chip functions. Note, that the ugly anon union/struct is there to avoid a full tree wide clean up for now. This is not going to last 3 years like __do_IRQ() Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20100927121841.645542300@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: H.

"param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" comes from the user. We should check it so that the copy_from_user() doesn't overflow the buffer. Also further down in the function, we assume that if "param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" is set then "abyWPAIE[0]" is initialized. To make that work, I changed the test here to say that if "wpa_ie_len" is set then "wpa_ie" has to be a valid pointer or we return -EINVAL. Oddly, we only use the first element of the abyWPAIE[] array. So I suspect there may be some other issues in this function.

This reverts commit 96d592ed. The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.

Commit 461c3177(into 2.6.36-v3) is put forward to power down phy if no usb cable is connected, but does introduce the two issues below: 1), phy is not into work state if usb cable is connected with PC during poweron, so musb device mode is not usable in such case, follows the reasons: -twl4030_phy_resume is not called, so regulators are not enabled i2c access are not enabled usb mode not configurated 2), The kernel warings[1] of regulators 'unbalanced disables' is caused if poweron without usb cable connected with PC or b-device. This patch fixes the two issues above: -power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC and b-device -do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in twl4030_usb_probe. This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in twl4030_usb_ldo_init until VBUS/ID change detected, so we can save more power consumption than before. This patch is verified OK on Beagle board either connected with usb cable or not when poweron. [1]. warnings of 'unbalanced disables' of regulators.

seq_files use the private_data field of a file struct for storing a seq_file structure, data should be stored in seq_file's own private field (e.g. file->private_data->private) Otherwise seq_release() will free the private data when the file is closed.

We need to make sure that only the first do_signal() to be handled on the way out syscall will bother with syscall restarts; additionally, the check on the "signal has user handler" path had been wrong - compare with restart prevention in sigreturn()...

Use force_sigsegv() rather than force_sig(SIGSEGV, ...) as the former resets the SEGV handler pointer which will kill the process, rather than leaving it open to an infinite loop if the SEGV handler itself caused a SEGV signal.

a) sa_handler might be maliciously set to point to kernel memory; blindly dereferencing it in FDPIC case is a Bad Idea(tm). b) I'm not sure you need that set_fs(USER_DS) there at all, but if you do, you'd better do it *before* checking the frame you've decided to use with access_ok(), lest sigaltstack() becomes a convenient roothole.

Commit 4969c119 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to be incomplete. There's a race, not very much less likely than the original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that the swapcache page's swap has not changed. Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on swapoff+swapon. A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and comes through the lock_page(page1). B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon. A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte. C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed. kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B, and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference), leaving it in swap cache for now. B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes. Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1 into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite different from what A wrote there. B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.
