| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel, which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow. The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared. The patch also makes some minimal cleanup: 1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing 2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet) 3. Put result of lookup Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | | packet: fix error handlingAndrew Morton2007-04-25
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented) request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it goes oops. Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis. (It doesn't oops, but this driver still doesn't work for William) Cc: William Heimbigner <icxcnika@mar.tar.cc> Cc: Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* | cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bugJens Axboe2007-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting oops is seen here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41 Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL. Read the more complete analysis at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57 This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls). The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Broken by 4a1728a28a193aa388900714bbb1f375e08a6d8e which switched the return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics. Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII carrier check going on, defer to that. Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

| * | sis900: Allocate rx replacement buffer before rx operationNeil Horman2007-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by platform_device_release().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with FNSAVE and cause corruption. Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time. Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* | reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bugJeff Mahoney2007-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount. This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(), into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around the entire critical section.

On x86_64 Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 64 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 16, # cpu_count 24, # cpu_delay_total 32, # blkio_count 40, # blkio_delay_total 48, # swapin_count 56, # swapin_delay_total 64, # cpu_run_real_total 72, # cpu_run_virtual_total 80, # ac_comm 112, # ac_sched 113, # ac_pad 116, # ac_uid 120, # ac_gid 124, # ac_pid 128, # ac_ppid 132, # ac_btime 136, # ac_etime 144, # ac_utime 152, # ac_stime 160, # ac_minflt 168, # ac_majflt 176, # coremem 184, # virtmem 192, # hiwater_rss 200, # hiwater_vm 208, # read_char 216, # write_char 224, # read_syscalls 232, # write_syscalls 240, # read_bytes 248, # write_bytes 256, # cancelled_write_bytes ); Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 32 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 12, # cpu_count 20, # cpu_delay_total 28, # blkio_count 36, # blkio_delay_total 44, # swapin_count 52, # swapin_delay_total 60, # cpu_run_real_total 68, # cpu_run_virtual_total 76, # ac_comm 108, # ac_sched 109, # ac_pad 112, # ac_uid 116, # ac_gid 120, # ac_pid 124, # ac_ppid 128, # ac_btime 132, # ac_etime 140, # ac_utime 148, # ac_stime 156, # ac_minflt 164, # ac_majflt 172, # coremem 180, # virtmem 188, # hiwater_rss 196, # hiwater_vm 204, # read_char 212, # write_char 220, # read_syscalls 228, # write_syscalls 236, # read_bytes 244, # write_bytes 252, # cancelled_write_bytes ); This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members is to pack the structure. The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats can work with a 64 bit kernel. Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members. The fix was tested on x86_64.
