The savesys_ipl_nss asm function is put into the .init.text section however it is missing a ".previous" section which would restore the previous section. Luckily all functions in early.c are init functions so it doesn't matter currently.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

commit 6a985c61 ([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping) deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg) where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the user mapping. Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack. Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.

"len" hasn't been properly range checked so we shouldn't use it as an array offset.

In the default case the lock is not unlocked. The return is converted to a goto, to share the unlock at the end of the function. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression E1; identifier f; @@ f (...) { <+... * spin_lock_irq (E1,...); ... when != E1 * return ...; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

* 'upstream-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev: libata: Fix accesses at LBA28 boundary (old bug, but nasty) (v2)
-
Mark Lord authored
Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands, do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1). So instead use LBA48 for such accesses. This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems, it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at 0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting. Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open: if (hp->count++ > 0) { tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags); hvc_kick(); return 0; } /* else count == 0 */ tty->driver_data = hp; hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0 But hvc_close has: tty_kref_get(tty); if (--hp->count == 0) { ... /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */ tty_kref_put(tty); ... } tty_kref_put(tty); Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when count reaches 0. The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot before IRQs are enabled. Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the slow-patch will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems since interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled. This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally disabled.

In NOMMU mode, the FRV segment handling is broken because KERNEL_DS == USER_DS. This causes tests of the following sort: /* don't pin down non-user-based iovecs */ if (segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS)) return NULL; to malfunction. To fix this, make USER_DS the top of RAM instead of the top of the non-IO address space, and make KERNEL_DS one more than the top of the non-IO address space. Also get rid of FRV's __addr_ok() as nothing uses it.

Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with move_account (happens at rmdir()). increment page->mapcount (rmap.c) mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account() lock_page_cgroup() check page_mapped() if page_mapped(page)>1 { FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg } ..... overwrite pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() Then, old memcg (-1 file mapped) new memcg (+2 file mapped) This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous with lock_page_cgroup().

When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.)

But the change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage callback. - Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that doesn't match the natural expectation from its name. - With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the callback can become much simpler.

Commit 148f948b (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.
