* | driver core: fix small mem leak in driver_add_kobj()Jesper Juhl2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code : int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj, const char *fmt, ...) { va_list args; char *name; int ret; va_start(args, fmt); name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args); ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space... va_end(args); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name); ^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated } Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some configmation before the patch is applied. This should fix it.

* | dm crypt: fix ctx pendingMilan Broz2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit 3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef ("dm crypt: use async crypto"). If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not process them in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared. So there can be parallel crypto operations on one part of the write, but only one write bio can be processed at a time. This is not optimal and the workqueue code needs to be optimized for parallel processing, but for now it solves the problem without affecting the performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current dm-crypt users). http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10242 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10207 Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

* | pci: revert SMBus unhide on HP Compaq nx6110Jean Delvare2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3c0a654e390d00fef9d8faed758f5e1e8078adb5 and fixes kernel bug #10245: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10245 The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should not attach a native driver to it. This means that this quirk is unsafe and has to be removed. I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.

This patch is required because 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf ("platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"") changed the modalias string to have the extra prefix.

It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It simply contains garbage from pagecache and result in data leakage. #TEST_CASE_BEGIN: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In fact issue triggered by classical testcase open("/mnt/test", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 ftruncate(3, 409600) = 0 writev(3, [{"a", 1}, {NULL, 4095}], 2) = 1 ##TESTCASE_SOURCE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <errno.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, ret; void* p; struct iovec iov[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666); ftruncate(fd, 409600); iov[0].iov_base="a"; iov[0].iov_len=1; iov[1].iov_base=NULL; iov[1].iov_len=4096; ret = writev(fd, iov, sizeof(iov)/sizeof(struct iovec)); printf("writev = %d, err = %d\n", ret, errno); return 0; } ##TESTCASE RESULT: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@ts63 ~]# mount | grep mnt2 /dev/mapper/test on /mnt2 type ext2 (rw,nobh) [root@ts63 ~]# /tmp/writev /mnt2/test writev = 1, err = 0 [root@ts63 ~]# hexdump -C /mnt2/test 00000000 61 65 62 6f 6f 74 00 00 f0 b9 b4 59 3a 00 00 00 |aeboot.....Y:...| 00000010 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000020 df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df |................| 00000030 3a 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |:...*...!.......| 00000040 60 c0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 40 4a 8d 00 00 00 00 00 |`.......@J......| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000060 74 69 6d 65 20 64 64 20 69 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f |time dd if=/dev/| 00000070 6c 6f 6f 70 30 20 20 6f 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 6e |loop0 of=/dev/n| skip.. 00000f50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........1.......| 00000f60 6d 6b 66 73 2e 65 78 74 33 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 |mkfs.ext3 /dev/v| 00000f70 7a 76 67 2f 74 65 73 74 20 2d 62 34 30 39 36 00 |zvg/test -b4096.| 00000f80 a0 fe 8c 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........!.......| 00000f90 23 31 32 30 35 39 35 30 34 30 34 00 3a 00 00 00 |#1205950404.:...| 00000fa0 20 00 8d 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000fb0 d0 cf 8c 00 00 00 00 00 10 d0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000fc0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000fd0 6d 6f 75 6e 74 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 7a 76 67 2f |mount /dev/vzvg/| 00000fe0 74 65 73 74 20 20 2f 76 7a 20 2d 6f 20 64 61 74 |test /vz -o dat| 00000ff0 61 3d 77 72 69 74 65 62 61 63 6b 00 00 00 00 00 |a=writeback.....| 00001000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros. #TEST_CASE_END Attached patch: - Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller, This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero *fadata pointer at the same time. - Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case. - Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers. This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin was called previously.

* | RDMA/cxgb3: Program hardware IRD with correct valueRoland Dreier2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of a typo in iwch_accept_cr(), the cxgb3 connection handling code programs the hardware IRD (incoming RDMA read queue depth) with the value that is passed in for the ORD (outgoing RDMA read queue depth). In particular this means that if an application passes in IRD > 0 and ORD = 0 (which is a completely sane and valid thing to do for an app that expects only incoming RDMA read requests), then the hardware will end up programmed with IRD = 0 and the app will fail in a mysterious way. Fix this by using "ep->ird" instead of "ep->ord" in the intended place.

The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR value on the way out to userspace. If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match we don't set the DABR in hardware. So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR, the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware. The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we can't forget to do it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup has been done.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock. The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will be processed. This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.
