* [PATCH] PCI: remove bogus resource collision errorRajesh Shah2005-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When attempting to hotadd a PCI card with a bridge on it, I saw the kernel reporting resource collision errors even when there were really no collisions. The problem is that the code doesn't skip over "invalid" resources with their resource type flag not set. Others have reported similar problems at boot time and for non-bridge PCI card hotplug too, where the code flags a resource collision for disabled ROMs. This patch fixes both problems.

* [PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundaryDavid Gibson2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t. Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point. The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is triggered at the wrong point.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer. It is necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication that it actually registered the console passed in.

* [PATCH] fix do_wait() vs exec() raceOleg Nesterov2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread adds old leader to the init's ->children list in EXIT_ZOMBIE state and drops tasklist_lock. This means that release_task(leader) in de_thread() is racy vs do_wait() from init task. I think de_thread() should set old leader's state to EXIT_DEAD instead.

* [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execveJim Keniston2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

* [PATCH] mm: update split ptlock KconfigHugh Dickins2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closer attention to the arithmetic shows that neither ppc64 nor sparc really uses one page for multiple page tables: how on earth could they, while pte_alloc_one returns just a struct page pointer, with no offset? Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page pointer, harumph, then compensating in its pmd_populate. But arm26 is never SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either. And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t. But the current union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.

* [PATCH] device-mapper: mirror log bitset fixAlasdair G Kergon2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned long". dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t). The patch below fixes this problem. The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64 and can prevent pvmove terminating. In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1. Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would be 0 0 0 0 X X X X On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area). 0 0 0 0 X X X X ^ here which hasn't been cleared properly. As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the 'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete. It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means that they cannot safely be moved between computers with Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] device-mapper: list_versions fixAlasdair G Kergon2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission. This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed to supply the actual size.) Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'. Consequently, 'lvcreate --type error' doesn't work.

| | | | | | | | | | | scsi_get_command() attempts to write into a structure that may not have been successfully allocated. Move this write inside the if statement that ensures we won't panic the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference.
