While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 20`; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 &
done
wait
on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes,
the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an
mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a
read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write.
The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed
that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by
557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving
zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page.
The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the
process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the
kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more
memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes.
To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during
/dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

We don't set up the canary; let's disable stack protector on boot.c so

Ideally we should have a directory of drivers and a link to the 'active'
driver. For now just show the first device which is effectively the existing
semantics without a warning.
This is an update on the original buggy patch that I then forgot to
resubmit. Confusingly it was proposed by Red Hat, written by Etched Pixels
fixed and submitted by Intel ...

This matches Bartlomiej's patch for ide_pci_generic:

In the libata case netcell has its own mini driver. I suspect this fix is
actually only needed for some firmware revs but it does no harm either way.

panic when we use cls_cgroup
This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps
chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in
cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup.
When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained. After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change(). When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.
In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init(). It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two
things:
1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put
Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the
phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always
leave the phy powered up.
The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and
older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing
users to remove all power to get the interface working (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072). Leaving the phy
powered on is the safest default behavior. Users accustomed to seeing
the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize
power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other
OSes is not an issue.

In the case where growing a filesystem would leave the last AG
too small, the fixup code has an overflow in the calculation
of the new size with one fewer ag, because "nagcount" is a 32
bit number. If the new filesystem has > 2^32 blocks in it
this causes a problem resulting in an EINVAL return from growfs:

Regreesion from commit ef8f7fc, which rearranged the code in
xfs_swap_extents() leading to double unlock of xfs inode ilock.
That resulted in xfs_fsr deadlocking itself on platforms, which
don't handle double unlock of rw_semaphore nicely. It caused the
count go negative, which represents the write holder, without
really having one. ia64 is one of the platforms where deadlock
was easily reproduced and the fix was tested.

A quirk that we've always supported is having an sg entry that's
bigger than a page, or more generally an sg entry that crosses
page boundaries. Even though it would be better to explicitly have
to sg entries for this, we need to support it for the existing users,
in particular, IPsec.
The new ahash sg walking code did try to handle this, but there was
a bug where we didn't increment the page so kept on walking on the
first page over an dover again.
This patch fixes it.

When BIOS SETUP is changed to disable EIST, some BIOS
hand the OS an un-initialized _PSS:
Name (_PSS, Package (0x06)
{
Package (0x06)
{
0x80000000, // frequency [MHz]
0x80000000, // power [mW]
0x80000000, // latency [us]
0x80000000, // BM latency [us]
0x80000000, // control
0x80000000 // status
},
...
These are outrageous values for frequency,
power and latency, raising the question where to draw
the line between legal and illegal. We tend to survive
garbage in the power and latency fields, but we can BUG_ON
when garbage is in the frequency field.
Cpufreq multiplies the frequency by 1000 and stores it in a u32 KHz.
So disregard a _PSS with a frequency so large
that it can't be represented by cpufreq.
