commit 6044565a upstream. Regression since commit 10389536, "firewire: core: check for 1394a compliant IRM, fix inaccessibility of Sony camcorder": The camcorder Canon MV5i generates lots of bus resets when asynchronous requests are sent to it (e.g. Config ROM read requests or FCP Command write requests) if the camcorder is not root node. This causes drop- outs in videos or makes the camcorder entirely inaccessible. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633260 Fix this by allowing any Canon device, even if it is a pre-1394a IRM like MV5i are, to remain root node (if it is at least Cycle Master capable). With the FireWire controller cards that I tested, MV5i always becomes root node when plugged in and left to its own devices. Reported-by: Ralf Lange Signed-off-by:

commit 1f1936ff upstream. Some of those functions try to adjust the CPU features, for example to remove NAP support on some revisions. However, they seem to use r5 as an index into the CPU table entry, which might have been right a long time ago but no longer is. r4 is the right register to use. This probably caused some off behaviours on some PowerMac variants using 750cx or 7455 processor revisions. Signed-off-by:

commit 429f4d8d upstream. When converting to the new cpumask code I screwed up: - if (cpu_isset(cpu, numa_cpumask_lookup_table[node])) { - cpu_clear(cpu, numa_cpumask_lookup_table[node]); + if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, node_to_cpumask_map[node])) { + cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, node_to_cpumask_map[node]); This was introduced in commit 25863de0 (powerpc/cpumask: Convert NUMA code to new cpumask API) Fix it.

commit 57cdfdf8 upstream. Spinlocks on shared processor partitions use H_YIELD to notify the hypervisor we are waiting on another virtual CPU. Unfortunately this means the hcall tracepoints can recurse. The patch below adds a percpu depth and checks it on both the entry and exit hcall tracepoints. Signed-off-by:

commit 02a8f01b upstream. Commit 7667aa06 added logic to wait for the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request), so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the queue. This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices do not expire early. The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers. Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers. Signed-off-by:

commit 068c5cc5 upstream. By not notifying the controller of the on-exit move back to init_css_set, we fail to move the task out of the previous cgroup's cfs_rq. This leads to an opportunity for a cgroup-destroy to come in and free the cgroup (there are no active tasks left in it after all) to which the not-quite dead task is still enqueued. Reported-by:

commit 6bf41237 upstream. wait_for_completion_*_timeout() can return: 0: if the wait timed out -ve: if the wait was interrupted +ve: if the completion was completed. As they currently return an 'unsigned long', the last two cases are not easily distinguished which can easily result in buggy code, as is the case for the recently added wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() call in net/sunrpc/cache.c So change them both to return 'long'. As MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT is LONG_MAX, a large +ve return value should never overflow. Signed-off-by:

commit 88f5acf8 upstream. Commit aa454840 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low. Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least. To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive function but limiting how often it is called. When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(), zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(), zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state(). vanilla 11.6615% disable-threshold 0.2584% David said: : We had to pull aa454840 "mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate : of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake" from 2.6.36 : internally because tests showed that it would cause the machine to stall : as the result of heavy kswapd activity. I merged it back with this fix as : it is pending in the -mm tree and it solves the issue we were seeing, so I : definitely think this should be pushed to -stable (and I would seriously : consider it for 2.6.37 inclusion even at this late date).

commit 04d94879 upstream. The purpose of the locking is to prevent removal and additions of nodes when statistics are gathered for a slab cache. So we need to avoid racing with memory hotplug functionality. It is enough to take the memory hotplug locks there instead of the slub_lock. online_pages() currently does not acquire the memory_hotplug lock. Another patch will be submitted by the memory hotplug authors to take the memory hotplug lock and describe the uses of the memory hotplug lock to protect against adding and removal of nodes from non hotplug data structures.

commit 0b0abeaf upstream. This reverts commit 115e19c5. Apparently setting inode->bdi to one's own sb->s_bdi stops VFS from sending *read-aheads*. This problem was bisected to this commit. A revert fixes it. I'll investigate farther why is this happening for the next Kernel, but for now a revert. I'm sending to stable@kernel.org as well, since it exists also in 2.6.37. 2.6.36 is good and does not have this patch. Signed-off-by:

commit b0a2679d upstream. Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved region. This avoids oopses on Netwinders when NeTTrom tells the kernel that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS, resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed.

commit a50eb1c7 upstream. This patch is applied according to the commit 1a8e41cd (ARM: 6395/1: VExpress: Set bit 22 in the PL310 (cache controller) AuxCtlr register). Actually, S5PV310 has same cache controller(PL310). Following is from Catalin Marinas' commit. Clearing bit 22 in the PL310 Auxiliary Control register (shared attribute override enable) has the side effect of transforming Normal Shared Non-cacheable reads into Cacheable no-allocate reads. Coherent DMA buffers in Linux always have a Cacheable alias via the kernel linear mapping and the processor can speculatively load cache lines into the PL310 controller. With bit 22 cleared, Non-cacheable reads would unexpectedly hit such cache lines leading to buffer corruption. Signed-off-by:

commit f7448548 upstream. Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire 1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression. commit d0af9eed Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700 x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init Because of the UP configuration of that platform, native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check()) before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init() Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by:

Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Date: Sun Nov 8 00:53:51 2009 -0800 net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by:

commit 01e05e9a upstream. The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be dangerous. The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state. This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited. Signed-off-by:

commit 96a3e79e upstream. Added 0x0307 device id to support Motorola cables to the pl2303 usb serial driver. This cable has a modified chip that is a pl2303, but declares itself as 0307. Fixed by adding the right device id to the supported devices list, assigning it the code labeled PL2303_PRODUCT_ID_MOTOROLA. Signed-off-by:

commit 2770c5ea upstream. The outvq needs to be woken up on host notifications so that buffers consumed by the host can be reclaimed, outvq freed, and application writes may proceed again. The need for this is now finally noticed when I have qemu patches ready to use nonblocking IO and flow control. CC: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

commit 3e9d08ec upstream. Under harsh testing conditions, including low memory, the guest would stop receiving packets. With this patch applied we no longer see any problems in the driver while performing these tests for extended periods of time. Make sure napi is scheduled subsequent to each napi_enable.
