* [PATCH] fix process crash caused by randomisation and 64k pagesJames Bottomley2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within 0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this is 128MB. The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away. The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're still losing the random offset of up to 8MB. The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the architectures.

* [PATCH] change misleading EFI partition support descriptionJohannes Berg2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the misleading "Presently only useful on the IA-64 platform" text from the EFI partition Kconfig. EFI partitions are also used by Apple on their Intel-based machines and thus you need EFI partition support if you (for example) want to attach such a machine in target disk mode.

* [PATCH] nfs: nfs_getattr() can't call nfs_sync_mapping_range() for ↵Trond Myklebust2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | non-regular files Looks like we need a check in nfs_getattr() for a regular file. It makes no sense to call nfs_sync_mapping_range() on anything else. I think that should fix your problem: it will stop the NFS client from interfering with dirty pages on that inode's mapping.

* [PATCH] nfs: fix congestion controlPeter Zijlstra2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it implements its own waitqueue. Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue. Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

* [PATCH] fix rescan_partitions to return errors properlysuzuki2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only error code which comes from the partition checkers is -1, when they finds an EIO. As per the discussion, ENOMEM values were ignored, as they might scare the users. So, with the current code, we end up returning -1 and not EIO for the ioctl() calls. Which doesn't give any clue to the user of what went wrong.

* [PATCH] smbfs: double free memory corruptionVasily Averin2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smbfs allocates rq_trans2buffer to handle server's multi transaction2 response messages. As struct smb_request may be reused, rq_trans2buffer is freed before each new request. However if last servers's response is not multi but single trans2 message then new rq_trans2buffer is not allocated but last smb_rput still tries to free it again. To prevent this issue rq_trans2buffer pointer should be set to NULL after kfree.

Because of if file big enough(BIG_OFFSET) we start allocate space by block, ordinary block size > page size, so we should zeroize the rest of block in truncate(except last framgnet, about which VFS should care), to not get garbage, when we extend file. Also patch corrects conversion from pointer to block to physical block number, this helps in case of not common used UFS types. And add to debug output inode number.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unregistration This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding. The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be taken directly. Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

Everything it does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in userspace trying to access the file system. Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of node coverage twice for the same inode. By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to 60.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write. At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

* | [PATCH] suspend regression: sysfs deadlockHugh Dickins2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0. This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7 "Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()". sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In fixing a bug Samba 3.0.26pre allowed some clients (including Linux cifs client) to change file size to zero in SET_FILE_UNIX_BASIC (which Linux cifs client uses for chmod). The server has been "fixed" now but that also fixes the client to net send file size zero on chmod. Fixes Samba bugzilla bug # 4418.
