Commit b4846251727a38a7f248e41308c060995371dd05 ("edac: mpc85xx add
mpc83xx support") accidentally broke how a chip select's first and last
page addresses are calculated. The page addresses are being shifted too
far right by PAGE_SHIFT. This results in errors such as:
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: Err addr: 0x003075c0
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: PFN: 0x00000307
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: PFN out of range!
EDAC MC1: INTERNAL ERROR: row out of range (4 >= 4)
EDAC MC1: CE - no information available: INTERNAL ERROR
The vaule of PAGE_SHIFT is already being taken into consideration during
the calculation of the 'start' and 'end' variables, thus it is not
necessary to account for it again when setting a chip select's first and
last page address.

This patch fixes a bug in the multiblock write tests where the written
data is read back for verifying one block at a time. The tests in
mmc_test assumes that all cards are byte addressable.
This will cause the multi block write tests to fail, leading the user of
the mmc_test driver thinking there is something wrong with the sdhci
driver they are testing.
The start address for the block is calculated as: blocknum * 512. For
block addressable cards the blocknum alone should be used.

When suspending, tpm_infineon calls the generic suspend function of the
TPM framework. However, the TPM framework does not return and the system
hangs upon suspend. When sending the necessary command "TPM_SaveState"
directly within the driver, suspending and resuming works fine.

Commit f71dc176aa06359681c30ba6877ffccab6fba3a6 'Make
hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced
bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run
on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we
emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in
hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from
the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to
go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware
subpages of the logical page.
This patch corrects the error. It has been tested on pSeries bare
metal by Michael Neuling.

* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs.
md: fix 'degraded' calculation when starting a reshape.
|
|
======
This fix is related to
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
but does not address that exact issue.
======
sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
(i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.
As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.
This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.
Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.
In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock. This call is
only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set. However we can be sure
that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
was originally written. This is because do_md_run is called in three
different contexts:
1/ from md_ioctl. This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
fails if ->gendisk is not set.
2/ from writing a sysfs attribute. This can only happen if the
mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
after ->gendisk has been set.
3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
->gendisk can also go.
In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
component rdevs) to complete. However there really isn't any need to
wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
ways.
The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
while the lock is held. There is already some infrastructure in place
to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
schedule_work). So extend that infrastructure to remove the
raid5_attrs_group.
This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
"s_active" lock. The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

may fail and the qdio device stays in state STOPPED until the shutdown is

the STOPPED state triggers a WARN_ON in the interrupt handler.

This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
reshape a degraded array. Now it is so the current level of
degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account. Also newly addded
devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
in-sync.
In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.
If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
"degraded".
This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.

Commit f39bde24b275ddc45d fixed the error return from PUTROOTFH in the
case where there is no pseudofilesystem.
This is really a case we shouldn't hit on a correctly configured server:
in the absence of a root filehandle, there's no point accepting version
4 NFS rpc calls at all.
But the shared responsibility between kernel and userspace here means
the kernel on its own can't eliminate the possiblity of this happening.
And we have indeed gotten this wrong in distro's, so new client-side
mount code that attempts to negotiate v4 by default first has to work
around this case.
Therefore when commit f39bde24b275ddc45d arrived at roughly the same
time as the new v4-default mount code, which explicitly checked only for
the previous error, the result was previously fine mounts suddenly
failing.
We'll fix both sides for now: revert the error change, and make the
client-side mount workaround more robust.

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.
We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).
If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
namespace to another one.

As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked"
conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally
freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack
is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized.
The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per
namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is
not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily
available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack
initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference
count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup
function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked
conntrack is in use in other namespaces.
