commit ad6759fb upstream. Aaro Koskinen reported an issue in kernel.org bugzilla #15366, where on non-GENERIC_TIME systems, accessing /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource results in an oops. It seems the timekeeper/clocksource rework missed initializing the curr_clocksource value in the !GENERIC_TIME case. Thanks to Aaro for reporting and diagnosing the issue as well as testing the fix!

commit 5311114d upstream. Since alc_auto_create_input_ctls() doesn't set the elements for the secondary ADCs, "Input Source" elemtns for these also get empty, resulting in buggy outputs of alsactl like: control.14 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type ENUMERATED comment.count 1 iface MIXER name 'Input Source' index 1 value 0 } This patch fixes alc_mux_enum_*() (and others) to fall back to the first entry if the secondary input mux is empty.

This is a resubmit backport of commit 92c6b8d1 to kernel version 2.6.32. The gentoo bug report can be found at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301091. Thanks to Matt Carlson for his assistance and working me to fix a regression caused by the initial patch. The original description is as follows: The 5906 has trouble with fragments that are less than 8 bytes in size. This patch works around the problem by pivoting the 5906's transmit routine to tg3_start_xmit_dma_bug() and introducing a new SHORT_DMA_BUG flag that enables code to detect and react to the problematic condition.

commit 98e12b5a upstream. Commit 2552fc27 changed the way the decompressor decides if it is safe to decompress the kernel directly to its final location. Unfortunately, it took the top of the compressed data as being the stack pointer, which it is for ROM=n cases. However, for ROM=y, the stack pointer is not relevant, and results in the wrong answer. Fix this by explicitly storing the end of the biggybacked data in the decompressor, and use that to calculate the compressed image size. Signed-off-by:

commit 9b3a6549 upstream. The few lines below the kfree of hdr_buf may go to the label err_free which will also free hdr_buf. The most straightforward solution seems to be to just move the kfree of hdr_buf after these gotos. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier E; expression E1; iterator I; statement S; @@ *kfree(E); ... when != E = E1 when != I(E,...)

commit 14315592 upstream. Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the price of the additional mapping operations. Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system time used from 59.737s to 55.9s. With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914) User Time 515.983 (5.85019) System Time 59.737 (1.26727) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796) Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64) Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307) With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968) User Time 515.659 (6.07012) System Time 55.9 (1.07799) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266) Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13) Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039) This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the status-quo as the default. It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold at 16G of total RAM. Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration, meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using lowmem PTEs. Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in practice 64G is still supported). It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit. Signed-off-by:

commit 83ab0aa0 upstream. setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become effective. That might result in checking a stale value. rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well. Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region. Signed-off-by:

commit 9000f05c upstream. Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads in another core (on the same socket) are busy. This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted) commit bdb94aa5 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200 sched: Try to deal with low capacity @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue() ... for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) { + unsigned long power = power_of(i); ... - wl = weighted_cpuload(i); + wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE; + wl /= power; - if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) + if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) continue; On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above) can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance. We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance, wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load. But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity, as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group. Fix it. Reported-by:

commit a97f925a upstream. Free the dm_io structure before calling bio_endio() instead of after it, to ensure that the io_pool containing it is not referenced after it is freed. This partially fixes a problem described here https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-February/msg00109.html thread 1: bio_endio(bio, io_error); /* scheduling happens */ thread 2: close the device remove the device thread 1: free_io(md, io); Thread 2, when removing the device, sees non-empty md->io_pool (because the io hasn't been freed by thread 1 yet) and may crash with BUG in mempool_free. Thread 1 may also crash, when freeing into a nonexisting mempool. To fix this we must make sure that bio_endio() is the last call and the md structure is not accessed afterwards. There is another bio_endio in process_barrier, but it is called from the thread and the thread is destroyed prior to freeing the mempools, so this call is not affected by the bug. A similar bug exists with module unloads - the module may be unloaded immediately after bio_endio - but that is more difficult to fix. Signed-off-by:

commit ab1b18f7 upstream. The 'struct svc_deferred_req's on the xpt_deferred queue do not own a reference to the owning xprt. This is seen in svc_revisit which is where things are added to this queue. dr->xprt is set to NULL and the reference to the xprt it put. So when this list is cleaned up in svc_delete_xprt, we mustn't put the reference. Also, replace the 'for' with a 'while' which is arguably simpler and more likely to compile efficiently.

commit f7410ced upstream. USB: Move hcd free_dev call into usb_disconnect I found a way to oops the kernel: 1. Open a USB device through devio. 2. Remove the hcd module in the host kernel. 3. Close the devio file descriptor. The problem is that closing the file descriptor does usb_release_dev as it is the last reference. usb_release_dev then tries to invoke the hcd free_dev function (or rather dereferencing the hcd driver struct). This causes an oops as the hcd driver has already been unloaded so the struct is gone. This patch tries to fix this by bringing the free_dev call earlier and into usb_disconnect. I have verified that repeating the above steps no longer crashes with this patch applied. Signed-off-by:

We do the right thing: disable the interrupts in the device, and do not do any processing if the interrupt is shared with other source, but it's possible that another CPU gets delayed somewhere (e.g. loops) until we started freeing. The agreed-upon solution is to wait for interrupts to play out before proceeding. No other bareers are neceesary. A backport of this patch was tested on a 2.6.18 based kernel. Testing of 2.6.32-based kernels is under way, but it takes us forever (months) to turn this around. So I think it's a good patch and we should keep it. Tracked in RH bz#516851 Signed-Off-By:
