Doug Chapman noticed that mincore() will doa "copy_to_user()" of the
result while holding the mmap semaphore for reading, which is a big
no-no. While a recursive read-lock on a semaphore in the case of a page
fault happens to work, we don't actually allow them due to deadlock
schenarios with writers due to fairness issues.
Doug and Marcel sent in a patch to fix it, but I decided to just rewrite
the mess instead - not just fixing the locking problem, but making the
code smaller and (imho) much easier to understand.

These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do
its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held
here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any
moment, but that doesn't really matter).

On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel
unaligned access errors.
If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks
forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process.
Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

Back when the original NetLabel patches were being changed to use Netlink
attributes correctly some code was accidentially dropped which set all of the
undefined CIPSOv4 level and category mappings to a sentinel value. The result
is the mappings data in the kernel contains bogus mappings which always map to
zero. Having level and category mappings that map to zero could result in the
kernel assigning incorrect security attributes to packets.
This patch restores the old/correct behavior by initializing the mapping
data to the correct sentinel value.

The VM layer (on the face of it, fairly reasonably) expected that when
it does a ->writepage() call to the filesystem, it would write out the
full page at that point in time. Especially since it had earlier marked
the whole page dirty with "set_page_dirty()".
But that isn't actually the case: ->writepage() does not actually write
a page, it writes the parts of the page that have been explicitly marked
dirty before, *and* that had not got written out for other reasons since
the last time we told it they were dirty.
That last caveat is the important one.
Which _most_ of the time ends up being the whole page (since we had
called "set_page_dirty()" on the page earlier), but if the filesystem
had done any dirty flushing of its own (for example, to honor some
internal write ordering guarantees), it might end up doing only a
partial page IO (or none at all) when ->writepage() is actually called.
That is the correct thing in general (since we actually often _want_
only the known-dirty parts of the page to be written out), but the
shared dirty page handling had implicitly forgotten about these details,
and had a number of cases where it was doing just the "->writepage()"
part, without telling the low-level filesystem that the whole page might
have been re-dirtied as part of being mapped writably into user space.
Since most of the time the FS did actually write out the full page, we
didn't notice this for a loong time, and this needed some really odd
patterns to trigger. But it caused occasional corruption with rtorrent
and with the Debian "apt" database, because both use shared mmaps to
update the end result.
This fixes it. Finally. After way too much hair-pulling.

(CVE-2006-6054)
This one was pointed out on the MOKB site:
http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html
If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing
pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated
with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking
so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there
can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode.
This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this
year.

Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/
fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause
Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block(). The cause of the oops
is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage().
This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the
block length field is sensible. The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is
intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than
the original source data. Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is
always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1. Of course Cramfs could
use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext3 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext3_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext3_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext3.

When this code was converted to use sk_for_each() the
logic for the "best hash chain length" code was reversed,
breaking everything.
The original code was of the form:
size = 0;
do {
if (++size >= best_size_so_far)
goto next;
} while ((sk = sk->next) != NULL);
best_size_so_far = size;
best = result;
next:;
and this got converted into:
sk_for_each(sk2, node, head)
if (++size < best_size_so_far) {
best_size_so_far = size;
best = result;
}
Which does something very very different from the original.

APM idle code
Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.
After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:
_------=> CPU#

<...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0)
what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
commit 495ab9c045e1b0e5c82951b762257fe1c9d81564
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200
[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
the problem is this type of change:
if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
- clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
while (!need_resched()) {
local_irq_disable();
this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btrl %1,%0"
hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
#define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier()
but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.
CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]
Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

On a custom board with ds1337 RTC I found that upgrade from 2.6.15 to
2.6.18 broke RTC support.
The main problem are changes to ds1337_init_client().
When a ds1337 recognizes a problem (e.g. power or clock failure) bit 7
in status register is set. This has to be reset by writing 0 to status
register. But since there are only 16 byte written to the chip and the
first byte is interpreted as an address, the status register (which is
the 16th) is never written.
The other problem is, that initializing all registers to zero is not
valid for day, date and month register. Funny enough this is checked by
ds1337_detect(), which depends on this values not being zero. So then
treated by ds1337_init_client() the ds1337 is not detected anymore,
whereas the failure bit in the status register is still set.
Broken by commit f9e8957937ebf60d22732a5ca9130f48a7603f60 (2.6.16-rc1,

checks to prevent these kinds of remote attacks.

Clear-garbage-after-CDB patch missed scsi_execute() and it causes some
ODDs (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H30N) choke during SCSI scan. Note that
this patch is only for -stable. There is another more reliable fix
for this problem proposed for devel tree.

struct srp_device.fmr_page_mask was unsigned long, which means that
the top part of addresses above 4G was being chopped off on 32-bit
architectures. Of course nothing good happens when data from SRP
targets is DMAed to the wrong place.
Fix this by changing fmr_page_mask to u64, to match the addresses
actually used by IB devices.

The structure cpu_isolated_map is used not only during initialization.
Multi-core scheduler configuration changes and exclusive cpusets
use this during run time. During setting of sched_mc_power_savings
policy, this structure is accessed to update sched_domains.

The as-instr/ld-option need to create temporary files, but create them in the

use $(CC) instead of $(AS) as the former is used by kbuild to assemble files.

libata waits for !BSY even when the status register reports 0xff.
This causes long boot delays when D8 isn't pulled down properly. This
patch does the followings.
* don't wait if status register is 0xff in all wait functions
* make ata_busy_sleep() return 0 on success and -errno on failure.
-ENODEV is returned on 0xff status and -EBUSY on other failures.
* make ata_bus_softreset() succeed on 0xff status. 0xff status is not
reset failure. It indicates no device. This removes unnecessary
retries on such ports. Note that the code change assumes unoccupied
port reporting 0xff status does not produce valid device signature.

The TUNER_LG_NTSC_TAPE is identical in all respects to the
TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3. So use the params struct for the Philips tuner.
Also add this LG_NTSC_TAPE tuner to the switches where radio specific
parameters are set so it behaves like a TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3. This
change fixes the radio support for this tuner (the wrong bandswitch byte
was used).

In some cases when using VSB, the AGC status register has been known to
falsely report "no signal" when in fact there is a carrier lock. The
datasheet labels these status flags as QAM only, yet the lgdt330x
module is using these flags for both QAM and VSB.
This patch allows for the carrier recovery lock status register to be
tested, even if the agc signal status register falsely reports no signal.
Thanks to jcrews from #linuxtv in irc, for initially reporting this bug.

This is a small fix-up to finish out the work done by Jay Vosburgh to
add carrier-state support for bonding devices. The output in
/proc/net/bonding/bondX was correct, but when collecting the same info
via an iotcl it could still be incorrect.

On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined
in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep
speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go
backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel
already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is
simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15...
The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a
dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a
really-going-forward tsc counter.

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.
