* drm: fix leak of uninitialized data to userspaceVegard Nossum2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...so drm_getunique() is trying to copy some uninitialized data to userspace. The ECX register contains the number of words that are left to copy -- so there are 5 * 4 = 20 bytes left. The offset of the first uninitialized byte (counting from the start of the string) is also 20 (i.e. 0xf65d2294&((1 << 5)-1) == 20). So somebody tried to copy 40 bytes when the string was only 19 long. In drm_set_busid() we have this code: dev->unique_len = 40; dev->unique = drm_alloc(dev->unique_len + 1, DRM_MEM_DRIVER); ... len = snprintf(dev->unique, dev->unique_len, pci:%04x:%02x:%02x.%d", ...so it seems that dev->unique is never updated to reflect the actual length of the string. The remaining bytes (20 in this case) are random uninitialized bytes that are copied into userspace. This patch fixes the problem by setting dev->unique_len after the snprintf(). airlied- I've had to fix this up to store the alloced size so we have it for drm_free later.

* drm: move to kref per-master structures.Dave Airlie2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm device in order to get fast-user-switching to work. It splits out the information associated with the drm master into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over the hardware. It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from within the new master structures. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the tuner modules were moved to common/tuners, a separate customize option were added for tuners. However, the automatic selection of the tuners were still using the older option. This causes that the automatic selection to fail, if DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE is selected. Also, since those tuners are now under MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE menu, if you unset MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE, you can't manually select the tuners. This patch fixes this error by replacing DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE by MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE on all places were a tuner is selected. The patch were generated by this small script: for i in `find drivers/media -name Kconfig`; do cat $i|perl -ne 's/(MEDIA_TUNER.*)DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE/\1MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE/; print $_' >a mv a $i done Also, manually reordered the tuner entries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At some point the Flexcop driver was changed to support newer Flexcop cards. These modifications however broke the detection of Cablestar 2 DVB-C cards. The reason is that the earlier version of the driver used to retry unsuccessful i2c operations. The demodulator of Cablestar 2 cards (stv0297) seems to be very dependent on these retries and adding them back fixes Cablestar detection. This patch restores this behaviour for the CableStar2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A user noticed that there would continue to be 4-6 keypresses even after the user stopped holding down the button. This was because we were not reading the bulk pipe faster than the firmware was injecting information, which would result in a backlog. Make the query interval faster, and increase the number of cycles before we start repeating to compensate. Thanks to Knud Poulsen <knud.poulsen@nokia.com> for pointing this out.

Since we have no idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when it is found. EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock. In below call trace of rmmod > ... > edac_device_del_device > edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue, device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up. edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device() and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released. Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can be used to serve this purpose. The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver would result in below deadlock: root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove() EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device() EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev() (hang for a moment) INFO: task edac-poller:2030 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

I bisected the problem to the following commit: commit c8019bf3aff653cceb64f66489fc299ee5957b57 Author: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Date: Thu Nov 20 04:24:17 2008 -0800 netdevice ppp: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv 1. Use netdev_priv(dev) to replace dev->priv. 2. Alloc netdev's private data by alloc_netdev(). Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad. The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably ppp hasn't worked since the above commit. The following patch fixes both problems.

In sunrpc, the module refcount is missing to hold. So this cause kernel panic. Used following script to reproduct: while [ 1 ]; do mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.19:/ /mnt touch /mnt/file umount /mnt lsmod | grep ipv6 done This patch fixed the problem by add __module_get(newsock->ops->owner) to kernel_accept(). So we do not need to used __module_get(newsock->ops->owner) in every place when used kernel_accept(). Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice. But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume) to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being offlined. Just drop the check.

Basically, drivers are supposed to terminate commands once error handling begins on them. The fusion apparently wasn't doing this. Under the old timeout regime, completions on terminated commands would by and large get ignored because of the way command timeouts used to work. The new block timers are very intolerant to this, though, becuase the request gets cleaned and freed.
