Changing the driver to use dynamic device numbers was one of the many changes that were made in order to have the driver accepted into the mainline kernel.

2006-05-15[PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attemptedAndy Whitcroft1-0/+5
When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we have tried to mount it with. This gives the user vital diagnostics as to what is missing from their kernel. For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect stage. Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem. RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 1604KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done. XFS: bad magic number XFS: SB validate failed No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 ext2 msdos vfat iso9660 jfs xfs Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-05-15[PATCH] fix can_share_swap_page() when !CONFIG_SWAPHua Zhong1-1/+1
can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference. This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page. However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0, thus always causes a copy for the last COW page. The below simple patch fixes it.

2006-05-15[PATCH] v9fs: signal handling fixesLatchesar Ionkov4-100/+158
Multiple races can happen when v9fs is interrupted by a signal and Tflush message is sent to the server. After v9fs sends Tflush it doesn't wait until it receives Rflush, and possibly the response of the original message. This behavior may confuse v9fs what fids are allocated by the file server. This patch fixes the races and the fid allocation.

2006-05-15[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error pathJan Niehusmann1-1/+3
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb filesystem. In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499 corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being set after freeing the slab. In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found ERESTARTSYS), I found the following: if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) { /* * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the * request from the recvq/xmitq. */ smb_lock_server(server); if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) { list_del_init(&req->rq_queue); smb_rput(req); } smb_unlock_server(server); } [...] if (signal_pending(current)) req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS; I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted code. Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS). If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it. I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev pointers.

2006-05-15[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernelTrent Piepho3-7/+8
Even since a previous patch: Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000) http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel. symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course. This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address uses) ourselves.

Not doing so results in corruption if the scratch space is later overwritten: the wrong file may be hardlinked, or, if the scratch space contains garbage, the link will fail and a 0-byte file will be created instead.

2006-05-15[PATCH] VIA quirk fixup, additional PCI IDsChris Wedgwood1-0/+7
An earlier commit (75cf7456dd87335f574dcd53c4ae616a2ad71a11) changed an overly-zealous PCI quirk to only poke those VIA devices that need it. However, some PCI devices were not included in what I hope is now the full list. Consequently we're failing to run the quirk on all machines which need it, causing IRQ routing failures. This should I hope correct this. Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@masoud.ir> for pointing this out and testing the fix.

2006-05-15[PATCH] autofs4: NFY_NONE wait race fixIan Kent3-34/+58
This patch fixes two problems. First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect. Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff Moyer. The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's needed. If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is cleared.

2006-05-15[JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy codeDavid Woodhouse2-8/+20
If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal on architectures like ARM. Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that, we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised away completely in the normal case. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
