Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX queue. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space to add an skb after we wake a queue. To avoid invalidating existing configurations, change efx_ethtool_set_ringparam() to fix up values that are too small rather than returning -EINVAL.

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

Pull ARM DMA engine updates from Russell King: "This looks scary at first glance, but what it is is: - a rework of the sa11x0 DMA engine driver merged during the previous cycle, to extract a common set of helper functions for DMA engine implementations. - conversion of amba-pl08x.c to use these helper functions. - addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions), and conversion of some of the OMAP DMA users to use DMA engine. Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other implementations can consolidate some of their code by making use of these helpers. This has been sitting in linux-next most of the merge cycle, and has been tested by several OMAP folk. I've tested it on sa11x0 platforms, and given it my best shot on my broken platforms which have the amba-pl08x controller. The last point is the addition to feature-removal-schedule.txt, which will have a merge conflict. Between myself and TI, we're planning to remove the old TI DMA implementation next year."

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently in use. This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock as we call sector_in_part() very frequently. Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write. There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity(). v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

Hi, I'm using the old-fashioned 'dump' backup tool, and I noticed that it spews the below warning as of 3.5-rc1 and later (3.4 is fine): [ 10.886893] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 10.886904] WARNING: at include/linux/iocontext.h:140 copy_process+0x1488/0x1560() [ 10.886905] Hardware name: Bochs [ 10.886906] Modules linked in: [ 10.886908] Pid: 2430, comm: dump Not tainted 3.5.0-rc7+ #27 [ 10.886908] Call Trace: [ 10.886911] [<ffffffff8107ce8a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0 [ 10.886912] [<ffffffff8107ced5>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [ 10.886913] [<ffffffff8107c088>] copy_process+0x1488/0x1560 [ 10.886914] [<ffffffff8107c244>] do_fork+0xb4/0x340 [ 10.886918] [<ffffffff8108effa>] ? recalc_sigpending+0x1a/0x50 [ 10.886919] [<ffffffff8108f6b2>] ? __set_task_blocked+0x32/0x80 [ 10.886920] [<ffffffff81091afa>] ? __set_current_blocked+0x3a/0x60 [ 10.886923] [<ffffffff81051db3>] sys_clone+0x23/0x30 [ 10.886925] [<ffffffff8179bd73>] stub_clone+0x13/0x20 [ 10.886927] [<ffffffff8179baa2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 10.886928] ---[ end trace 32a14af7ee6a590b ]--- Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed). To hit it, just install dump (on debian/ubuntu, not sure what the package might be called on Fedora), and: dump -o -f /tmp/foo / You'll see the warning in dmesg once it forks off the I/O process and starts dumping filesystem contents. I bisected it down to the following commit: commit f6e8d01b Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Mon Mar 5 13:15:26 2012 -0800 block: add io_context->active_ref Currently ioc->nr_tasks is used to decide two things - whether an ioc is done issuing IOs and whether it's shared by multiple tasks. This patch separate out the first into ioc->active_ref, which is acquired and released using {get|put}_io_context_active() respectively. This will be used to associate bio's with a given task. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> It seems like the init of ioc->nr_tasks was removed in that patch, so it starts out at 0 instead of 1. Tejun, is the right thing here to add back the init, or should something else be done? The below patch removes the warning, but I haven't done any more extensive testing on it.

blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices' limits. But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024) doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than 1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero. It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the underlying paths).

uac_clock_source_is_valid() uses the control selector value to access the bmControls bitmap of the clock source unit. This is wrong, as control selector values start from 1, while the bitmap uses all available bits. In other words, "Clock Validity Control" is stored in D3..2, not D5..4 of the clock selector unit's bmControls.

Pull irqdomain changes from Grant Likely: "Round of refactoring and enhancements to irq_domain infrastructure. This series starts the process of simplifying irqdomain. The ultimate goal is to merge LEGACY, LINEAR and TREE mappings into a single system, but had to back off from that after some last minute bugs. Instead it mainly reorganizes the code and ensures that the reverse map gets populated when the irq is mapped instead of the first time it is looked up. Merging of the irq_domain types is deferred to v3.7 In other news, this series adds helpers for creating static mappings on a linear or tree mapping." * tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6: irqdomain: Improve diagnostics when a domain mapping fails irqdomain: eliminate slow-path revmap lookups irqdomain: Fix irq_create_direct_mapping() to test irq_domain type. irqdomain: Eliminate dedicated radix lookup functions irqdomain: Support for static IRQ mapping and association. irqdomain: Always update revmap when setting up a virq irqdomain: Split disassociating code into separate function irq_domain: correct a minor wrong comment for linear revmap irq_domain: Standardise legacy/linear domain selection irqdomain: Make ops->map hook optional irqdomain: Remove unnecessary test for IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY irqdomain: Simple NUMA awareness. devicetree: add helper inline for retrieving a node's full name

Pull VFIO core from Alex Williamson: "This series includes the VFIO userspace driver interface for the 3.6 kernel merge window. This driver is intended to provide a secure interface for device access using IOMMU protection for applications like assignment of physical devices to virtual machines. Qemu will be the first user of this interface, enabling assignment of PCI devices to Qemu guests. This interface is intended to eventually replace the x86-specific assignment mechanism currently available in KVM. This interface has the advantage of being more secure, by working with IOMMU groups to ensure device isolation and providing it's own filtered resource access mechanism, and also more flexible, in not being x86 or KVM specific (extensions to enable POWER are already working). This driver is originally the work of Tom Lyon, but has since been handed over to me and gone through a complete overhaul thanks to the input from David Gibson, Ben Herrenschmidt, Chris Wright, Joerg Roedel, and others. This driver has been available in linux-next for the last month." Paul Mackerras says: "I would be glad to see it go in since we want to use it with KVM on PowerPC. If possible we'd like the PowerPC bits for it to go in as well." * tag 'vfio-for-v3.6' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio: vfio: Add PCI device driver vfio: Type1 IOMMU implementation vfio: Add documentation vfio: VFIO core
