This patch fixes a null pointer exception caused by removal of
'ack()' for level interrupts in the Xilinx interrupt driver. A recent
change to the xilinx interrupt controller removed the ack hook for
level irqs.

In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot(). It is
then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir.
Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the
page remains pinned forever. Repeat that a couple times with highmem
pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls
end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole
system comes to a halt.

The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to
worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will
still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no
advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size
somehow.
And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in
this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be
written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes
as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then
caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned
zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly
failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.
This should finally fix

When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as
two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused
problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.
Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic
tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc:
"pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic").
So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write
instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just
a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test,
which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering,
it won't cause weeks of debugging.

Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since
"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d
commit in 2.6.31.
But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.
The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.
With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:
- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.
- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().
or, if exec fails,
free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation
cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once
disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked
MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call
to __rmqueue_fallback().
However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership
because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of
prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most
serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot.
This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when
anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being
prematurely broken up.
This is a fix to commit 49255c619fbd482d704289b5eb2795f8e3b7ff2e [page
allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and
the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff(). If do_mmap_shared_file() or
do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which
point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet
added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG
because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree.
To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree
before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep
nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a
transient region.

cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return. But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.
Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.
The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.
As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.
Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one
camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras. After a short
while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not
react anymore. This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are
dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer.
This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4A7C0594.2020208%40gmail.com
(Reported by Samuel Audet.)
In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two
cameras in dual buffer mode. Whether this is due to different chip
revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not
yet clear. However, as far as the current capabilities of
firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply
switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not
a problem in practice. We only need to revisit this issue if we are
going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly
choose modes.

This fixes a regression due to post 2.6.30 commit "firewire: core: do
not DMA-map stack addresses" 6fdc03709433ccc2005f0f593ae9d9dd04f7b485.
As David Moore noted, a previously correct sizeof() expression became
wrong since the commit changed its argument from an array to a pointer.
This resulted in an oops in ohci_cancel_packet in the shared workqueue
thread's context when an isochronous resource was to be freed.

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.
For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.
If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.
Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting). This patch fixes the race.
When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.
Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.
The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).
The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID). This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.
Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)
The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.
The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg
could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync.
The case involves the failure of the primary device along with
the transient failure of the log device. The problem is that
bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure)
before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure.
Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient,
a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will
reset 'log_failure'. The 'do_failures' function then resets
the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list.
The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the
primary device can be switched in the event of a failure. Since
this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed
to be not switchable.
The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one
machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines.
As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to
another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure),
the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine -
thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable.
In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure'
variable. The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually
hurt us.

The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not
be there. This patch removes it. To make the fix simpler, we first
reorder a constructor argument
The 'device size' argument is generated internally. Currently it is
placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string.
However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we
move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it.
We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log,
just in case we need to resend them. These are the same arguments that
are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one. When
creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of
the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor
table. We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a
mistake.

The logic to check for valid device areas is inverted relative to proper
use with iterate_devices.
The iterate_devices method calls its callback for every underlying
device in the target. If any callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices
exits immediately. But the callback device_area_is_valid() returns 0 on
error and 1 on success. The overall effect without is that an error is
issued only if every device is invalid.
This patch renames device_area_is_valid to device_area_is_invalid and
inverts the logic so that one invalid device is sufficient to raise
an error.

Implement the .iterate_devices for the origin and snapshot targets.
dm-snapshot's lack of .iterate_devices resulted in the inability to
properly establish queue_limits for both targets.
With 4K sector drives: an unfortunate side-effect of not establishing
proper limits in either targets' DM device was that IO to the devices
would fail even though both had been created without error.

The patch posted at http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=124539787228784&w=2
which was merged into cec47e3d4a861e1d942b3a580d0bbef2700d2bb2 ("dm:

request-based dm.
If map_request() calls dm_kill_unmapped_request() to complete a cloned
bio without dispatching it, clone->bio is still set when
dm_end_request() is called and the BUG_ON(clone->bio) is incorrect.
The patch fixes this bug by freeing bio in dm_end_request() if the clone
has bio. I've redone my tests to cover all I/O paths and confirmed
there's no other regression.
Here is the oops I hit in request-based dm when I do I/O to a multipath
device which doesn't have any active path nor queue_if_no_path setting:

Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use
tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()'
and TLB mappings to be setup.
The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --> register_one_mondo
is one such case. sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the
necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not.
Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger,
but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we
must properly mark it notrace.
While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and
prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI
watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present.
This happens when, for example:
CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to
load the firmware, then waiting for completion.
CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts. CPU 1 is where the NMI
watchdog triggers.
CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU
1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending.
This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds.
The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the
barrage of device interrupts begin. Then we have:
timer interrupt
return for softirq checking
pending, thus enable interrupts
qla2xxx interrupt
return
qla2xxx interrupt
return
... 5+ seconds pass
final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load
return
run timer softirq
return
At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger
the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler.
The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to
run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer
interrupts.
However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer
interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged. But in the above
scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last
all the way back to running the timer softirq.
The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty
low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds). So increase it to 30
seconds for now.

These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't
work 1-1 from hrtimers to tasklet_hrtimers because unlike hrtimers
tasklets can't be killed from softirq context.
And when a qdisc gets reset, that's exactly what we need to do here.
We'll work this out in the net-next-2.6 tree and if warranted we'll
backport that work to -stable.
This reverts the following 3 changesets:

(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
sk_free() frees socks conditionally and depends
on sk_wmem_alloc being set e.g. in sock_init_data(). But in some
cases sk_free() is called earlier, usually after other alloc errors.
Fix is to move sk_wmem_alloc initialization from sock_init_data()
to sk_alloc() itself.

The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
(ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.
But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS
I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
behaviour.
This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
max_sectors as it was before.

Commit 4bc5d3413503 is broken and causes regressions:
(1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on
__powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact,
->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit
42d4dc3f4e1e complained about in 4bc5d3413503.
(2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi
would never be called.
(3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume.
The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts
off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get()
necessary?
Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our
back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or
resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop,
delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain
as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we
think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying
to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ
issue.
So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts
are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()).
Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for
resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes
behind the kernel's back.

Commit log for commit 517d3cc15b36392e518abab6bacbb72089658313
("[libata] ata_piix: Enable parallel scan") says:
This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver.
This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems).
The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these
devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used
for testing (eeepc).
Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe
to do for this driver. Alan has also checked with the hardware team.
and it is all true but once we put all things together additional
constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers
have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming
the controller.
I used the following test to check whether the issue is real:
@@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_
(timings[pio][1] << 8);
}
pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data);
- if (is_slave)
+ if (is_slave) {
+ if (ap->port_no == 0) {
+ u8 tmp = slave_data;
+
+ while (slave_data == tmp) {
+ pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp);
+ msleep(50);
+ }
+
+ dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan "
+ "race detected\n");
+ }
pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data);
+ }
/* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if
UDMA is selected */
and it indeed triggered the error message.
Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode
and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers.
[ Alan: would be better to take the host lock in libata-core for these
cases so that we fix all the adapters in one swoop. "Looks fine as a
temproary quickfix tho" ]
