commit a229fc61ef0ee3c30fd193beee0eeb87410227f1 upstream.
bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode
consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications
that want to interface with the bsg driver.
Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into
the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need
to provide source and devel packages for distros.
This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had
a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header
for these kernels a swell

commit 9df04e1f25effde823a600e755b51475d438f56b upstream.
Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches
already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the
advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous
default behavior.
Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches,
we have:
LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user)
512MB ~178000
1GB ~356000
2GB ~712000
A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K
watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances
limits then.

commit eb83bbf57429ab80f49b413e3e44d3b19c3fdc5a upstream.
After reports of poor performance, a review of the latest vendor driver
(rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007) for RTL8187L devices was undertaken.
A difference was found in the code used to index the OFDM power tables. When
the Linux driver was changed, my unit works at a much greater range than
before. I think this fixes Bugzilla #12380 and has been tested by at least
two other users.

This patch differs from the upstream commit
de33c8db5910cda599899dd431cc30d7c1018cbf written by Linus, as it aims to
only prevent the oops from happening, not attempt to change anything
else.
The problem was introduced by commit
ba470de43188cdbff795b5da43a1474523c6c2fb
which added new references to *vma after we've potentially freed it.

commit 3ac52669c7a24b93663acfcab606d1065ed1accd upstream.
Impact: reduce false positives in iomem_map_sanity_check()
Some drivers (vesafb) only map/reserve a portion of a resource.
If then some other driver comes in and maps the whole resource,
the current code WARN_ON's. This is not the intent of the checks
in iomem_map_sanity_check(); rather these checks want to
warn when crossing *hardware* resources only.
This patch skips BUSY resources as suggested by Linus.
Note: having two drivers talk to the same hardware at the same
time is obviously not optimal behavior, but that's a separate story.

commit 822c18f2e38cbc775792ab65ace4f9198678dec9 upstream.
On alpha, we have to map some stuff in the VMALLOC space very early in the
boot process (to make SRM console callbacks work and so on, see
arch/alpha/mm/init.c). For old VM allocator, we just manually placed a
vm_struct onto the global vmlist and this worked for ages.
Unfortunately, the new allocator isn't aware of this, so it constantly
tries to allocate the VM space which is already in use, making vmalloc on
alpha defunct.
This patch forces KVA to import vmlist entries on init.

commit 70b66cbfd3316b792a855cb9a2574e85f1a63d0f upstream.
init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc
array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3
complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though
this function is never called on those systems.
This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes
init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms.
Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis

commit 501950d846218ed80a776d2aae5aed9c8b92e778 upstream.
This patch (as1198) fixes a conceptual bug: Somewhere along the line
we managed to confuse USB class devices with USB char devices. As a
result, the code to send a disconnect signal to userspace would not be
built if both CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS and CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS were
disabled.
The usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() routine has been renamed to
usbdev_remove() and it is now called whenever any USB device is
removed, not just when a class device is unregistered. The notifier
registration and unregistration calls are no longer conditionally
compiled. And since the common removal code will always be called as
part of the char device interface, there's no need to call it again as
part of the usbfs interface; thus the invocation of
usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() has been taken out of
usbfs_remove_device().

commit 7abce6bedc118eb39fe177c2c26be5d008505c14 upstream.
Running a 32-bit usbmon(8) on 2.6.28-rc9 produces the following:
ioctl32(usbmon:28563): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(400c9206){t:ffffff92;sz:12} arg(ffd3f458) on /dev/usbmon0
It happens because the compatibility mode was implemented for 2.6.18
and not updated for the fsops.compat_ioctl API.
This patch relocates the pieces from under #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT into
compat_ioctl with no other changes except one new whitespace.

commit ddeac4e75f2527a340f9dc655bde49bb2429b39b upstream.
This patch (as1200) finishes some fixes that were left incomplete by
an earlier patch.
Although nobody has addressed this issue in the past, it turns out
that we need to distinguish between two different modes of disabling
and enabling endpoints. In one mode only the data structures in
usbcore are affected, and in the other mode the host controller and
device hardware states are affected as well.
The earlier patch added an extra argument to the routines in the
enable_endpoint pathways to reflect this difference. This patch adds
corresponding arguments to the disable_endpoint pathways. Without
this change, the endpoint toggle state can get out of sync between
the host and the device. The exact mechanism depends on the details
of the host controller (whether or not it stores its own copy of the
toggle values).

commit a1e46212a410793d575718818e81ddc442a65283 upstream.
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

That works, but we need to do it not for the struct klist_node,
but for the struct we insert into the void * in klist_node,

[<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a
This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

commit 3632dee2f8b8a9720329f29eeaa4ec4669a3aff8 upstream.
If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.
The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:

commit b706e65b40417e03c2451bb3f92488f3736843fa upstream.
This patch fixes mesh point operation (thanks to YanBo for pointing
out the problem): make mesh point interfaces start beaconing when
they come up and configure the RX filter in mesh mode so that mesh
beacons and action frames are received. Add mesh point to the check
in ath5k_add_interface. Tested with multiple AR5211 cards.

commit 856bf4d717feb8c55d4e2f817b71ebb70cfbc67b upstream.
s_syncing livelock avoidance was breaking data integrity guarantee of
sys_sync, by allowing sys_sync to skip writing or waiting for superblocks
if there is a concurrent sys_sync happening.
This livelock avoidance is much less important now that we don't have the
get_super_to_sync() call after every sb that we sync. This was replaced
by __put_super_and_need_restart.

commit 4f5a99d64c17470a784a6c68064207d82e3e74a5 upstream.
Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD. The primary motiviation is the design of my
anti-starvation code for fsync. It requires taking an inode lock over the
sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple
inodes. It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering
problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync
multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address.
Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted
anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can
be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback. In order to
satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish
writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it.
It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose.
But why complicate things by prematurely optimise? For unmounting, we
could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but
again premature IMO.
Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next.

commit 48b47c561e41525061b5bc0cfd67d6367fd11dc4 upstream.
Direct IO can invalidate and sync a lot of pagecache pages in the mapping.
A 4K direct IO will actually try to sync and/or invalidate the pagecache
of the entire file, for example (which might be many GB or TB large).
Improve this by doing range syncs. Also, memory no longer has to be
unmapped to catch the dirty bits for syncing, as dirty bits would remain
coherent due to dirty mmap accounting.
This fixes the immediate DM deadlocks when doing direct IO reads to block
device with a mounted filesystem, if only by papering over the problem
somewhat rather than addressing the fsync starvation cases.

end, without locking the page. Pages cannot have their index change when
we have a reference on them (truncate, eg truncate_inode_pages_range

commit 515f4a037fb9ab736f8bad733fcd2ffd350cf265 upstream.
In write_cache_pages, if we get stuck behind another process that is
cleaning pages, we will be forced to wait for them to finish, then perform
our own writeout (if it was redirtied during the long wait), then wait for
that.
If a page under writeout is still clean, we can skip waiting for it (if
we're part of a data integrity sync, we'll be waiting for all writeout
pages afterwards, so we'll still be waiting for the other guy's write
that's cleaned the page).

commit 05fe478dd04e02fa230c305ab9b5616669821dd3 upstream.
In write_cache_pages, nr_to_write is heeded even for data-integrity syncs,
so the function will return success after writing out nr_to_write pages,
even if that was not sufficient to guarantee data integrity.
The callers tend to set it to values that could break data interity
semantics easily in practice. For example, nr_to_write can be set to
mapping->nr_pages * 2, however if a file has a single, dirty page, then
fsync is called, subsequent pages might be concurrently added and dirtied,
then write_cache_pages might writeout two of these newly dirty pages,
while not writing out the old page that should have been written out.
Fix this by ignoring nr_to_write if it is a data integrity sync.
This is a data integrity bug.
The reason this has been done in the past is to avoid stalling sync
operations behind page dirtiers.
"If a file has one dirty page at offset 1000000000000000 then someone
does an fsync() and someone else gets in first and starts madly writing
pages at offset 0, we want to write that page at 1000000000000000.
Somehow."
What we do today is return success after an arbitrary amount of pages are
written, whether or not we have provided the data-integrity semantics that
the caller has asked for. Even this doesn't actually fix all stall cases
completely: in the above situation, if the file has a huge number of pages
in pagecache (but not dirty), then mapping->nrpages is going to be huge,
even if pages are being dirtied.
This change does indeed make the possibility of long stalls lager, and
that's not a good thing, but lying about data integrity is even worse. We
have to either perform the sync, or return -ELINUXISLAME so at least the
caller knows what has happened.
There are subsequent competing approaches in the works to solve the stall
problems properly, without compromising data integrity.

commit 00266770b8b3a6a77f896ca501a0613739086832 upstream.
In write_cache_pages, if ret signals a real error, but we still have some
pages left in the pagevec, done would be set to 1, but the remaining pages
would continue to be processed and ret will be overwritten in the process.
It could easily be overwritten with success, and thus success will be
returned even if there is an error. Thus the caller is told all writes
succeeded, wheras in reality some did not.
Fix this by bailing immediately if there is an error, and retaining the
first error code.
This is a data integrity bug.

commit bd19e012f6fd3b7309689165ea865cbb7bb88c1e upstream.
We'd like to break out of the loop early in many situations, however the
existing code has been setting mapping->writeback_index past the final
page in the pagevec lookup for cyclic writeback. This is a problem if we
don't process all pages up to the final page.
Currently the code mostly keeps writeback_index reasonable and hacked
around this by not breaking out of the loop or writing pages outside the
range in these cases. Keep track of a real "done index" that enables us
to terminate the loop in a much more flexible manner.
Needed by the subsequent patch to preserve writepage errors, and then
further patches to break out of the loop early for other reasons. However
there are no functional changes with this patch alone.

commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 upstream.
In write_cache_pages, scanned == 1 is supposed to mean that cyclic
writeback has circled through zero, thus we should not circle again.
However it gets set to 1 after the first successful pagevec lookup. This
leads to cases where not enough data gets written.
Counterexample: file with first 10 pages dirty, writeback_index == 5,
nr_to_write == 10. Then the 5 last pages will be found, and scanned will
be set to 1, after writing those out, we will not cycle back to get the
first 5.
Rework this logic, now we'll always cycle unless we started off from index
0. When cycling, only write out as far as 1 page before the start page
from the first cycle (so we don't write parts of the file twice).
