umem: fix up unplugging

2012-07-16T16:04:08Z

commit 32587371ad3db2f9d335de10dbd8cffd4fff5669 upstream. Fix a regression introduced by 7eaceaccab5f40 ("block: remove per-queue plugging"). In that patch, Jens removed the whole mm_unplug_device() function, which used to be the trigger to make umem start to work. We need to implement unplugging to make umem start to work, or I/O will never be triggered.

xen/blkback: Copy id field when doing BLKIF_DISCARD.

2012-07-16T16:04:08Z

commit 8c9ce606a60e4a0cb447bdc082ce383b96b227b4 upstream. We weren't copying the id field so when we sent the response back to the frontend (especially with a 64-bit host and 32-bit guest), we ended up using a random value. This lead to the frontend crashing as it would try to pass to __blk_end_request_all a NULL 'struct request' (b/c it would use the 'id' to find the proper 'struct request' in its shadow array) and end up crashing: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000e4 IP: [] __blk_end_request_all+0xc/0x40 .. snip.. EIP is at __blk_end_request_all+0xc/0x40 .. snip.. [] blkif_interrupt+0x172/0x330 [xen_blkfront] This fixes the bug by passing in the proper id for the response.

Most of them are marked for stable as well - Fix failure to release a semaphore on error path in mtip32xx. - Fix crashable condition in bio_get_nr_vecs(). - Don't mark end-of-disk buffers as mapped, limit it to i_size. - Fix for build problem with CONFIG_BLOCK=n on arm at least. - Fix for a buffer overlow on UUID partition printing. - Trivial removal of unused variables in dac960." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: fix buffer overflow when printing partition UUIDs Fix blkdev.h build errors when BLOCK=n bio allocation failure due to bio_get_nr_vecs() block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as mapped mtip32xx: release the semaphore on an error path dac960: Remove unused variables from DAC960_CreateProcEntries()

mtip32xx: release the semaphore on an error path

2012-05-11T14:42:14Z

Release the semaphore in an error path in mtip_hw_get_scatterlist(). This fixes the smatch warning inconsistent returns. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Asai Thambi S P Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

dac960: Remove unused variables from DAC960_CreateProcEntries()

2012-05-11T14:42:14Z

The variables 'StatusProcEntry' and 'UserCommandProcEntry' are assigned to once and then never used. This patch gets rid of the variables. While I was there I also fixed the indentation of the function to use tabs rather than spaces for the lines that did not already do so. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

connector/userns: replace netlink uses of cap_raised() with capable()

2012-05-11T03:21:39Z

In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector interface needed a capability check and added the idiom cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise that netlink was asynchronous. In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which would have made calling capable() impossible. In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability. Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems the right thing to do. The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..). To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Pull virtio fixes from Michael S. Tsirkin: "Here are some virtio fixes for 3.4: a test build fix, a patch by Ren fixing naming for systems with a massive number of virtio blk devices, and balloon fixes for powerpc by David Gibson. There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming: some people wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the block core. But there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always deduplicate later. Added comments in the hope that this will stop people from copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers." * tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: virtio_balloon: fix handling of PAGE_SIZE != 4k virtio_balloon: Fix endian bug virtio_blk: helper function to format disk names tools/virtio: fix up vhost/test module build
