posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD timers from signal->cpu_timers list. But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group. This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader. After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems. It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct. Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular, tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of nontrivial and hard-to-test changes. Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW, this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway: cpu timers do not work after mt exec. In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However, the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

adapter->id is deprecated and not set by any adapter driver, so this was certainly not what the author wanted to use. adapter->nr maybe, but as dev_err() already includes this value, as well as the client's address, there's no point repeating them.

We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes: - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset. - remove redundant local variable 'array'. - declare local 'pa_size' as const.

This patch is based on Dan's original patch. His original description is below: Smatch complained about a couple checking for NULL after dereferencing bugs. I'm not super familiar with the code so I did the conservative thing and move the dereferences after the checks. The dereferences in cifs_lock() and cifs_fsync() were added in ba00ba64 "cifs: make various routines use the cifsFileInfo->tcon pointer". The dereference in find_writable_file() was added in 6508d904 "cifs: have find_readable/writable_file filter by fsuid". The comments there say it's possible to trigger the NULL dereference under stress.

Radix trees are ideal when you want to track a bunch of pointers and can't embed a tracking structure within the target of those pointers. The tradeoff is an increase in memory, particularly if the tree is sparse. In CIFS, we use the tlink_tree to track tcon_link structs. A tcon_link can never be in more than one tlink_tree, so there's no impediment to using a rb_tree here instead of a radix tree. Convert the new multiuser mount code to use a rb_tree instead. This should reduce the memory required to manage the tlink_tree. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

This is the second version of this patch, the only difference between it and the first one is that this explicitly makes cifs_sb_master_tlink a static inline. Instead of keeping a tag on the master tlink in the tree, just keep a pointer to the master in the superblock. That eliminates the need for using the radix tree to look up a tagged entry.

Linus noted, and complained to me, that doing while lots of "git diff"'s of kernel sources, these spinlocks were responsible for 27% of the spinlock cost on his two-processor system as reported by perf. Git was doing lots of parallel stats, and this was putting a lot of pressure on ext4_getattr(). A spinlock to protect a single memory-to-memory copy is pointless, so remove it.

This patch adds support for Power/Status LED on Creative USB X-Fi S51. There is just one LED on the device. The LED can either be On or it can be set to Blink. There doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off. The control message to change LED status is similar to that of audigy2nx except that the index is to be set to 0 and value is 1 for Blink and 0 for On. The 'Power LED' control in alsamixer when muted will cause the LED to Blink continuously. When unmuted the LED will stay On. The Creative driver under Windows sets the LED to blink whenever audio is muted. This LED can be treated as the CMSS LED but I figured since there is just one LED, it should be treated as the Power LED. Is that alright? I've also changed the comment "Usb X-Fi" to "Usb X-Fi S51" as there are other external X-Fi devices from Creative like Usb X-Fi Go and Xmod. The volume knob and LED support patch doesn't apply to them. Signed-off-by: Mandar Joshi <emailmandar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

I noticed that sound/pci/asihpi/hpicmn.c::hpi_alloc_control_cache() does not check the return value from kmalloc(), which may fail. If kmalloc() fails we'll dereference a null pointer and things will go bad fast. There are two memory allocations in that function and there's also the problem that the first may succeed and the second may fail and nothing is done about that either which will also go wrong down the line.

Stanse found that pSMBFile in cifs_ioctl and file->f_path.dentry in cifs_user_write are dereferenced prior their test to NULL. The alternative is not to dereference them before the tests.

The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
