Hi, An NFS client executes a statfs("file", &buff) call. "file" exists / existed, the client has read / written it, but it has already closed it. user_path(pathname, &path) looks up "file" successfully in the directory-cache and restarts the aging timer of the directory-entry. Even if "file" has already been removed from the server, because the lookupcache=positive option I use, keeps the entries valid for a while. nfs_statfs() returns ESTALE if "file" has already been removed from the server. If the user application repeats the statfs("file", &buff) call, we are stuck: "file" remains young forever in the directory-cache. Signed-off-by:

The maximum size of the authcache is now set to 1024 (10 bits), but on our server we need at least 4096 (12 bits). Increase MAX_HASHTABLE_BITS to 14. This is a maximum of 16384 entries, each containing a pointer (8 bytes on x86_64). This is exactly the limit of kmalloc() (128K). Signed-off-by:

The do_vfs_lock function on fs/nfs/file.c is only called if NLM is not being used, via the -onolock mount option. Therefore it cannot really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking function called returns an error, as there will be no corresponding call to the NLM. For details, simply check the if/else on do_setlk and do_unlk on fs/nfs/file.c. Signed-Off-By:

This is just a minor cleanup: net/sunrpc/clnt.c clarifies the rpc client state machine by commenting each state and by laying out the functions implementing each state in the order that each state is normally executed (in the absence of errors). The previous patch "Fix null dereference in call_allocate" changed the order of the states. Move the functions and update the comments to reflect the change. Signed-off-by:

If rpc_queue_upcall() adds a new upcall to the rpci->pipe list just after rpc_pipe_release calls rpc_purge_list(), but before it calls gss_pipe_release (as rpci->ops->release_pipe(inode)), then the latter will free a message without deleting it from the rpci->pipe list. We will be left with a freed object on the rpc->pipe list. Most frequent symptoms are kernel crashes in rpc.gssd system calls on the pipe in question. Reported-by:

In call_allocate we need to reach the auth in order to factor au_cslack into the allocation. As of a17c2153 "SUNRPC: Move the bound cred to struct rpc_rqst", call_allocate attempts to do this by dereferencing tk_client->cl_auth, however this is not guaranteed to be defined--cl_auth can be zero in the case of gss context destruction (see rpc_free_auth). Reorder the client state machine to bind credentials before allocating, so that we can instead reach the auth through the cred. Signed-off-by:

When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as warnings. For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this: Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf when generating the documentation for it.

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by:

Dave Chinner authored
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal. Signed-off-by:

An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments. Signed-off-by:

The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem. Signed-off-by:

Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session keyring [CVE-2010-2960].

If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.
