Commit 859ddf09 tried to fix misallocation bug but broke full bit marking by not clearing pa[idp->layers] and also is causing X failures due to lookup failure in drm code. The cause of the latter hasn't been found yet. Revert the fix for now. Signed-off-by:

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the user space futex is completely bogus. The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way for user space to spam the syslog. Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created. This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the pi_state->owner pid with the futex value. Reported-by:

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it. Reported-by:

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'. Signed-off-by:

The VM/VFS does not allow mapping->a_ops->invalidatepage() to fail. Unfortunately, nfs_wb_page_cancel() may fail if a fatal signal occurs. Since the NFS code assumes that the page stays mapped for as long as the writeback is active, we can end up Oopsing (among other things). The only safe fix here is to convert nfs_wait_on_request(), so as to make it uninterruptible (as is already the case with wait_on_page_writeback()). Signed-off-by: -

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by:Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This is the counterpart to cba76717 ("pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices"). Device is not registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy which looks up the device by dev_t. This will fail and adding the device again will fail with the "duplicate name" error. This is fixed using device_unregister instead of device_destroy. Signed-off-by:

The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be: flush_dcache_page(page); kmap_atomic(page); write to page; kunmap_atomic(page); flush_dcache_page(page); More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly. Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is not ARM-specific: int val = 0x11111111; fd = open("abc", O_RDWR); addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *(addr+0) = 0x44444444; tmp = *(addr+0); *(addr+1) = 0x77777777; write(fd, &val, sizeof(int)); close(fd); The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Eric Paris located a bug in idr. With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three layers when id 4096 is first allocated. When that happens, idr wraps incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits. The following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely. #include <linux/idr.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); int init_module(void) { int ret, forty95, forty96; void *addr; /* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */ again1: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again1; return ret; } if (forty95 != 4095) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95); again2: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again2; return ret; } if (forty96 != 4096) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96); /* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95); if ((int)addr != forty95) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr); addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96); if ((int)addr != forty96) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty96=%d addr=%d\n", forty96, (int)addr); /* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0); if ((int)addr) printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty95); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty96); return 0; } void cleanup_module(void) { } MODULE_AUTHOR("Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Simple idr test"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step backtracking. The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following. restart: clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection l = top level while (true) { search for empty slot at this level if (not found) { push id to the next possible value l++ A: if (pa[l] is clear) failed, return asking caller to grow the tree if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search) continue the while loop above with the incremented l else C: goto restart } adjust id accordingly to the found slot if (l == 0) return found id; create lower level if not there yet record pa[l] and l-- } Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is above the possible limit with the current layers. sub_alloc() assumes the start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring high set bit. So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid pointer. However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit set beyond the top level. This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full id limit check.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).
