* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer
-
David Howells authored
Change the MN10300 fault handler to make it check in_atomic() rather than in_interrupt() as commit 6edaf68a did for other architectures: Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Wed Dec 6 20:32:18 2006 -0800 [PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic() In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've gone through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the inc_preempt_count() 'feature' works as expected. Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely on the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.

The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a bug like: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529 James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

Accesses to CR4 are intercepted even with Nested Paging enabled. But the code does not check if the guest wants to do a global TLB flush. So this flush gets lost.

This patch introduces a guest TLB flush on every NPF exit in KVM. This fixes random segfaults and #UD exceptions in the guest seen under some workloads (e.g. long running compile workloads or tbench).

This fixes a SWIOTLB oops With SWIOTLB being enabled and straight-forward page allocation failure [1], the swiotlb_alloc_coherent fall-back path hits an issue [2], resulting in my webcam failing to work. At the time of oops, RDI is clearly a pointer to a structure which has arrived as NULL, leading to the typo in swiotlb_map_single's callsite arguments. Correctly passing the device structure [3] addresses the issue and gets my webcam working again (the allocation failure still occuring). --- [1] skype: page allocation failure. order:3, mode:0x1 Pid: 5895, comm: skype Not tainted 2.6.27-rc6-235c-debug #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff802b7cf0>] __alloc_pages_internal+0x4a0/0x5d0 [<ffffffff802d5ddd>] alloc_pages_current+0xad/0x110 [<ffffffff802b4ccd>] __get_free_pages+0x1d/0x60 [<ffffffff8046cd39>] swiotlb_alloc_coherent+0x49/0x180 [<ffffffff80212731>] dma_alloc_coherent+0x281/0x310 [<ffffffff805621c0>] hcd_buffer_alloc+0x50/0x90 [<ffffffff805547fd>] usb_buffer_alloc+0x2d/0x40 [<ffffffffa0056763>] uvc_alloc_urb_buffers+0x53/0xf0 [uvcvideo] [<ffffffffa0056958>] uvc_init_video+0x158/0x3e0 [uvcvideo] [<ffffffffa0056c17>] uvc_video_enable+0x37/0x80 [uvcvideo] [<ffffffffa0055853>] uvc_v4l2_do_ioctl+0x723/0x1260 [uvcvideo] [<ffffffff8026dd61>] ?

git commit 74811f35 causes crash at module load (or boot) time on my machine with a hpt374 controller. The reason for this is that for initializing second controller which sets (hwif->dev == host->dev[1]) to true (1), adds 1 to a void ptr, which advances it by one byte instead of advancing it by sizeof(hpt_info) bytes. Because of this, all initialization functions get corrupted data in info variable which causes a crash at boot time. This patch fixes that and makes my machine boot again. The card itself is a HPT374 raid conroller: Here is the lspci -v output: 03:06.0 RAID bus controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. HPT374 (rev 07) Subsystem: HighPoint Technologies, Inc.

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where they belong.

ocfs2 will become read-only if we try to read the bytes which pass the end of i_size. This can be easily reproduced by following steps: 1. mkfs a ocfs2 volume with bs=4k cs=4k and nosparse. 2. create a small file(say less than 100 bytes) and we will create the file which is allocated 1 cluster. 3. read 8196 bytes from the kernel using O_DIRECT which exceeds the limit. 4. The ocfs2 volume becomes read-only and dmesg shows: OCFS2: ERROR (device sda13): ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks: Inode 66010 has a hole at block 1 File system is now read-only due to the potential of on-disk corruption. Please run fsck.ocfs2 once the file system is unmounted. So suppress the ERROR message. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

This fixes kernel bugzilla 11469: "TUN with 1024 neighbours: ip6_dst_lookup_tail NULL crash" dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is the wrong thing to do. This NULL check exists in other similar paths and this case was just an oversight. Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation here while we're at it.

The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected machines. The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of the min_delta_ns value.

When using kdump modifying the e820 map is yielding strange results.

The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map. This patch fixes the problem.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

When disconnected ccw devices are removed, the device has to be set offline, otherwise there will be side effects including a reference count imbalance. This patch modifies ccw_device_offline to work for devices in disconnecte/not operational state. ccw_device_offline is called by cio for devices which are online during device removal.
