      pcmcia: fix socket refcount decrementing on each resume · 025e4ab3
      Russell King authored 
      This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has
references, causing slab caches corruption.  A fatal oops quickly
follows this warning - often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning
causes the kernel to oops.

While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and a
CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.

  WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()

As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
right before each get_device():

  printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));

and on the 3rd s2ram cycle, the following behaviour observed:

Looking at commit 7b24e798 ("pcmcia: split up central event handler"),
the following change was made to cs.c:

                return 0;
        }
 #endif
-
-       send_event(skt, CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME, CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
+       if (!(skt->state & SOCKET_CARDBUS) && (skt->callback))
+               skt->callback->early_resume(skt);
        return 0;
 }

And the corresponding change in ds.c is from:

-static int ds_event(struct pcmcia_socket *skt, event_t event, int priority)
-{
-       struct pcmcia_socket *s = pcmcia_get_socket(skt);
...
-       switch (event) {
...
-       case CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME:
-               if (verify_cis_cache(skt) != 0) {
-                       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
-                       /* first, remove the card */
-                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL, CS_EVENT_PRI_HIGH);
-                       mutex_lock(&s->ops_mutex);
-                       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
-                       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
-                       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
-                       s->functions = 0;
-                       mutex_unlock(&s->ops_mutex);
-                       /* now, add the new card */
-                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION,
-                                CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
-               }
-               break;
...
-    }

-    pcmcia_put_socket(s);

-    return 0;
-} /* ds_event */

to:

+static int pcmcia_bus_early_resume(struct pcmcia_socket *skt)
+{
+       if (!verify_cis_cache(skt)) {
+               pcmcia_put_socket(skt);
+               return 0;
+       }

+       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");

+       /* first, remove the card */
+       pcmcia_bus_remove(skt);
+       mutex_lock(&skt->ops_mutex);
+       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
+       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
+       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
+       skt->functions = 0;
+       mutex_unlock(&skt->ops_mutex);

+       /* now, add the new card */
+       pcmcia_bus_add(skt);
+       return 0;
+}

As can be seen, the original function called pcmcia_get_socket() and
pcmcia_put_socket() around the guts, whereas the replacement code
calls pcmcia_put_socket() only in one path.  This creates an imbalance
in the refcounting.

Testing with pcmcia_put_socket() put removed shows that the bug is gone:

and so triggers some BUGs in Transparent HugePage codepaths.

asm-generic/bug.h mentions this problem, and provides a WARN_ON_SMP(x);
but being too lazy to add VM_BUG_ON_SMP, BUG_ON_SMP, WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE,
VM_WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE, just test NR_CPUS != 1 in the existing VM_BUG_ONs.

      drivers/leds/leds-lm3530.c: fix setting pltfm->als_vmax · ec44fd42
      Axel Lin authored 
      In current code, pltfm->als_vmin is set to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV and
pltfm->als_vmax is 0.  This does not make sense.  I think what we want
here is setting pltfm->als_vmax to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV.

Both als_vmin and als_vmax local variables will be set to
pltfm->als_vmin and pltfm->als_vmax by a few lines latter.  Thus also
remove a redundant assignment for als_vmin and als_vmax in this patch.

      mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migration · dc908600
      Mel Gorman authored 
      When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a
zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone.  Migration
avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned.

Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap.  When this happens,
migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists
which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the
following oops

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but
is unrelated to the bug triggering.  The real problem was because the PFN
layout looks like this

  Zone PFN ranges:
    DMA      0x00000010 -> 0x00001000
    DMA32    0x00001000 -> 0x00100000
    Normal   0x00100000 -> 0x01e80000
  Movable zone start PFN for each node
  early_node_map[14] active PFN ranges
      0: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009b
      0: 0x00000100 -> 0x0007a1ec
      0: 0x0007a354 -> 0x0007a379
      0: 0x0007f7ff -> 0x0007f800
      0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00680000
      1: 0x00680000 -> 0x00e80000
      0: 0x00e80000 -> 0x01080000
      1: 0x01080000 -> 0x01280000
      0: 0x01280000 -> 0x01480000
      1: 0x01480000 -> 0x01680000
      0: 0x01680000 -> 0x01880000
      1: 0x01880000 -> 0x01a80000
      0: 0x01a80000 -> 0x01c80000
      1: 0x01c80000 -> 0x01e80000

The fix is straight-forward.  isolate_migratepages() has to make a
similar check to isolate_freepage to ensure that it never isolates pages
from a zone it does not hold the LRU lock for.

This was discovered in a 3.0-based kernel but it affects 3.1.x, 3.2.x
and current mainline.

      Power management fixes for 3.3-rc3

Three power management regression fixes, one for a recent regression introcuded
by the freezer changes during the 3.3 merge window and two for regressions
in cpuidle (resulting from PM QoS changes) and in the hibernate user space
interface, both introduced during the 3.2 development cycle.

They include:

* Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for
 regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2
 development cycle).

* A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS
 changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly
 for CONFIG_PM unset.

      PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change · d020283d
      Venkatesh Pallipadi authored 
      Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).

That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
enabled.

Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.

[rjw: Modified the changelog slightly.]

      PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails · 379e0be8
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored 
      If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically
thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter
situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path
to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do
some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like:

error = freeze_kernel_threads();
if (error) {
	/* Do some cleanup */

	/* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/
	thaw_processes();
}

An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems
during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads
fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing
the userspace tasks.

So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in
case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes()
accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather
cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.)

[rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the
 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called
 before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive
 memory allocation failures.]
