I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix. Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application available from: http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount. The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in clone_mnt(). Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail. The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in clone_mnt(). clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or copy_tree(). copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or copy_namespace(). When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do. When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for all copied mounts. Jamie said: This patch is correct. The old code was buggy for more fundamental and serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).

For 64-bit BAR[i] only pci_dev->resource[i] is valid, ->resource[i+1] slot is unused and contains zeroes in all fields. So when we update a PCI BAR, all we need is just to check that we're going to update a _valid_ resource. Also make sure to write high bits - use "x >> 16 >> 16" (rather than the simpler ">> 32") to avoid warnings on 32-bit architectures where we're not going to have any high bits.

When we did the handle_mm_fault cleanup and get_user_page() race fixes, handle_mm_fault turned into an inline function that called the real __handle_mm_fault() code. The export needed for MOL on ppc wasn't updated to match the new world order, though. Turn it into a GPL export while at it, since this is all about internal interfaces and MOL is GPL'd anwyay.

This uses the new deflateBound() thing to sanity-check the input to the zlib decompressor before we even bother to start reading in the blocks. Problem noted by Tim Yamin <plasmaroo@gentoo.org>
-
Linus Torvalds authored
It's not the real deflateBound() in newer zlib libraries, partly because the upcoming usage of it won't have the "stream" available, so we can't have the same interfaces anyway.

semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while another thread has it locked. This causes major problems for PREEMPT kernels.

My patch in commit fa72b903 incorrectly removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth. The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following points. * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size, but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access beyond the allocated area. * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved. In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed immediately during resize. Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting thread on linux-scsi. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2 To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2 Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for dynamic shrinking.

This patch fixes a crash in the hugepage code. unmap_hugepage_area() was assuming that (due to prefault) PTEs must exist for all the area in question. However, this may not be the case, if mmap() encounters an error before the prefault and calls unmap_region() to clean up any partial mapping. Depending on the hugepage configuration, this crash can be triggered by an unpriveleged user.

This patch includes support for the new Infineon Trusted Platform Module SLB 9635 TT 1.2 and does further include ACPI-support for both chip versions (SLD 9630 TT 1.1 and SLB9635 TT 1.2). Since the ioports and configuration registers are not correctly set on some machines, the configuration is now done via PNPACPI, which reads out the correct values out of the DSDT-table. Note that you have to have CONFIG_PNP, CONFIG_ACPI_BUS and CONFIG_PNPACPI enabled to run this driver (assuming that mainboards including a TPM do have the need for ACPI anyway).

Since the beginning of July my Opteron box was randomly crashing and being rebooted by hardware watchdog. Today it finally did it in front of me, and this patch will hopefully fix it. The problem is that at the end of June (the 28th, to be exact: commit 47f176fd, "[PATCH] Using msleep() instead of HZ") rtc_get_rtc_time was converted to use msleep() instead of busy waiting. But rtc_get_rtc_time is used by hpet_rtc_interrupt, and scheduling is not allowed during interrupt. So I'm reverting this part of original change, replacing msleep() back with busy loop. The original code was busy waiting for up to 20ms, but on my hardware in the worst case update-in-progress bit was asserted for at most 363 passes through loop (on 2GHz dual Opteron), much less than even one jiffie, not even talking about 20ms. So I changed code to just wait only as long as necessary. Otherwise when RTC was set to generate 8192Hz timer, it stopped doing anything for 20ms (160 pulses were skipped!) from time to time, and this is rather suboptimal as far as I can tell.

We have found what seems to be a small bug in __vm_enough_memory() when sysctl_overcommit_memory is set to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. When this bug occurs the systems fails to boot, with /sbin/init whining about fork() returning ENOMEM. We hunted down the problem to this: The deferred update mecanism used in vm_acct_memory(), on a SMP system, allows the vm_committed_space counter to have a negative value. This should not be a problem since this counter is known to be inaccurate. But in __vm_enough_memory() this counter is compared to the `allowed' variable, which is an unsigned long. This comparison is broken since it will consider the negative values of vm_committed_space to be huge positive values, resulting in a memory allocation failure.

tcp_write_xmit caches the cwnd value indirectly in cwnd_quota. When tcp_transmit_skb reduces the cwnd because of tcp_enter_cwr, the cached value becomes invalid.

MSS changes can be lost since we preemptively initialize the tso_segs count for an SKB before we %100 commit to sending it out. So, by the time we send it out, the tso_size information can be stale due to PMTU events. This mucks up all of the logic in our send engine, and can even result in the BUG() triggering in tcp_tso_should_defer(). Another problem we have is that we're storing the tp->mss_cache, not the SACK block normalized MSS, as the tso_size. That's wrong too. Signed-off-by: David S.

This avoids the whole #ifdef mess by just getting a copy of dentry->d_inode before d_delete is called - that makes the codepaths the same for the INOTIFY/DNOTIFY cases as for the regular no-notify case.

This patch has a one line oops fix, plus related cleanups. - The bugfix uses microframe scheduling data given to the hardware to test "is this a periodic QH", rather than testing for nonzero period. (Prevents an oops by providing the correct answer.) - The cleanup going along with the patch should make it clearer what's going on whenever those bitfields are accessed. The bug came about when, around January, two new kinds of EHCI interrupt scheduling operation were added, involving both the high speed (24 KBytes per millisec) and low/full speed (1-64 bytes per millisec) microframe scheduling. A driver for the Edirol UA-1000 Audio Capture Unit ran into the oops; it used one of the newly supported high speed modes.
