      Audit: Log TIOCSTI · 1e641743
      Al Viro authored 
      AUDIT_TTY records currently log all data read by processes marked for
TTY input auditing, even if the data was "pushed back" using the TIOCSTI
ioctl, not typed by the user.

This patch records all TIOCSTI calls to disambiguate the input.  It
generates one audit message per character pushed back; considering
TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good
enough.  (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail
in "header editing" mode, e.g. using the ~h escape.  mailx is used very
rarely, and the escapes are used even rarer.)

      powerpc/83xx: Fix MCU support merge issue in mpc8349emitx.dts · dafdb613
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      Just found the merge issue in 44274698
("powerpc/83xx: Add support for MCU microcontroller in .dts files"):
the commit adds the MCU controller node into the DMA node, which is
wrong because the MCU sits on the I2C bus. Fix this by moving the MCU
node into the I2C controller node.

The original patch[1] was OK though. ;-)

      block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask · 0e435ac2
      Milan Broz authored 
      Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
devices.

When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.

If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.

Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
- queue attributes are set in DM this way:

request_queue   max_segment_size  seg_boundary_mask
SCSI                65536             0xffffffff
MD RAID1                0                      0
LVM                 65536                 -1 (64bit)

Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp.  bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
physical segments according to these parameters.

During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit.  (After
bio_clone() in stack operation.)

Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here

    BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);

(MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)

Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:

  dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10

This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
(last page uses only 1024 bytes).

For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().

The patch tries to fix it by:

 * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
   blk_queue_make_request()

 * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting

 (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
 blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later.  It should probably switch
 to use generic stack limit function too.)

 * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)

 * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

      block: internal dequeue shouldn't start timer · 53a08807
      Tejun Heo authored 
      blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer.  Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it.  If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.

Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO.  This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().

      powerpc: Fix dma_map_sg() cache flushing on non coherent platforms · 2434bbb3
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      On PowerPC 4xx or other non cache-coherent platforms, we lost the
appropriate cache flushing in dma_map_sg() when merging the 32 and
64-bit DMA code (commit 4fc665b8,
"powerpc: Merge 32 and 64-bit dma code").  This restores it.
