2010-03-24cpuset: fix the problem that cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline nodeMiao Xie
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops. This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing memory hotplug.

2010-03-24tmpfs: fix oops on mounts with mpol=defaultRavikiran G Thirumalai
Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default mempolicy. Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount code crashed with a null pointer dereference. The initial problem report was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well. On examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy was requested. This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask resulting in oops. The following patch fixes it.

2010-03-24mm/ksm.c is doing an unneeded _notify in write_protect_page.Robin Holt
ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other kernel tracking means. It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry. An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users does not match the page_count. In that event, we are inserting the identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather the simpler set_pte_at suffices.

2010-03-24Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: correct cpu_relax() documentationRussell King
cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a memory barrier. However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier. Make the documentation reflect the general concensus. Linus sayeth: : I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything : but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might : well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like" : semantics. : : After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell : the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event. : : And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory : location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be. So it's : quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be : about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache : transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier : from a CPU standpoint. : : But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering : semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other : sources.

2010-03-22ppc64 sys_ipc breakage in 2.6.34-rc2Anton Blanchard
I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that uses shared memory was getting a SEGV. Commit baed7fc9b580bd3fb8252ff1d9b36eaf1f86b670 ("Add generic sys_ipc wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int. When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign extend second (ie the size) which truncates it. It took a while to track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated size :) The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64). Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> -- I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do that for us as well. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-03-21ipv4: Don't drop redirected route cache entry unless PTMU actually expiredGuenter Roeck
TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using those routers because of an ICMP redirect. Setup is as follows MTU1 MTU2 MTU1 A--------B------C------D with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D. There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP retransmits. After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1, tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set. If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and update PMTU. Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(), causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be dropped again. This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated. Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-21Bluetooth: Convert debug files to actually use debugfs instead of sysfsMarcel Holtmann
Some of the debug files ended up wrongly in sysfs, because at that point of time, debugfs didn't exist. Convert these files to use debugfs and also seq_file. This patch converts all of these files at once and then removes the exported symbol for the Bluetooth sysfs class. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2010-03-21Bluetooth: Fix potential bad memory access with sysfs filesMarcel Holtmann
When creating a high number of Bluetooth sockets (L2CAP, SCO and RFCOMM) it is possible to scribble repeatedly on arbitrary pages of memory. Ensure that the content of these sysfs files is always less than one page. Even if this means truncating. The files in question are scheduled to be moved over to debugfs in the future anyway.

2010-03-20netfilter: ctnetlink: fix reliable event delivery if message building failsPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch fixes a bug that allows to lose events when reliable event delivery mode is used, ie. if NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR and NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket options are set. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-20netlink: fix NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS in netlink_set_err()Pablo Neira Ayuso
Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However, that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the prototype of netlink_set_err() to return the number of sockets that have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-20NET_DMA: free skbs periodicallySteven J. Magnani
Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both). This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return. The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is available to satisfy the read. Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2010-03-19tcp: Fix tcp_mark_head_lost() with packets == 0Lennart Schulte
A packet is marked as lost in case packets == 0, although nothing should be done. This results in a too early retransmitted packet during recovery in some cases. This small patch fixes this issue by returning immediately.

2010-03-19net: ipmr/ip6mr: fix potential out-of-bounds vif_table accessPatrick McHardy
mfc_parent of cache entries is used to index into the vif_table and is initialised from mfcctl->mfcc_parent. This can take values of to 2^16-1, while the vif_table has only MAXVIFS (32) entries. The same problem affects ip6mr. Refuse invalid values to fix a potential out-of-bounds access. Unlike the other validity checks, this is checked in ipmr_mfc_add() instead of the setsockopt handler since its unused in the delete path and might be uninitialized.
