So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

Since we may not have a pci_dev for the device we need to access, we can't
use pci_read_config_word. But raw_pci_read is an internal implementation
detail; it's better to use the architected pci_bus_read_config_word
interface. Using PCI_DEVFN instead of a mysterious constant helps
reassure everyone that we really do intend to access device 8.
[ Thanks to Grant Grundler for pointing out to me that this is exactly
what the write immediately above this is doing -- enabling device 8 to
respond to config space cycles.

ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests
...
broke flush requests.
Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not
a very brilliant idea:
- idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait
for it to be completed
- there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue
Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by:
- dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC)
- adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN)
- calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set
(while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage)
[ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather
critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ]

problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting

I have reviewed all blk-end-request patches again to confirm whether
there are any similar problems with the last week's ide-cd panic:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/29/140
And I found a possible similar bug in ide-io change:
ide_end_drive_cmd() could be called for blk_pc_request() which could
have bios. To complete such requests correctly, we need to pass
the actual size of the request.
Otherwise, __blk_end_request() returns 1 because the request still has
bios, and the system will BUG() unnecessarily.
The following patch fixes the bug and should be applied on top of
Linus' git.

apparently makes some compilers complain.
While we're there, clean up a little (e.g. the switch statement had a
minor style problem and seemed overkill as long as there's only one
case).
Thanks to Trond for noticing this.

It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback
is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block
back into the nlm_blocked list.
This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing
that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked.

With the current scheme in nlmsvc_grant_blocked, we can end up with more
than one GRANT_MSG callback for a block in flight. Right now, we requeue
the block unconditionally so that a GRANT_MSG callback is done again in
30s. If the client is unresponsive, it can take more than 30s for the
call already in flight to time out.
There's no benefit to having more than one GRANT_MSG RPC queued up at a
time, so put it on the list with a timeout of NLM_NEVER before doing the
RPC call. If the RPC call submission fails, we requeue it with a short
timeout. If it works, then nlmsvc_grant_callback will end up requeueing
it with a shorter timeout after it completes.

Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing
an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block
for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're
calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in
the RPC queue.
Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks.
lockd requeues the block anyway, so this should be OK.

It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely
lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this:
1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file
2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and
awaits the callback
3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc)
4) client1 releases the lock
...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG
callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of
30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and
will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is
unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times
out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats.
Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until
the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls.
Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes
nlm_async_call return quickly when called.

.. and I really need to call it something else. Maybe it is time to
bring back the weasel series, since weasels always make me feel good
about a kernel.

We want to allow different implementations of pci_raw_ops for standard
and extended config space on x86. Rather than clutter generic code with
knowledge of this, we make pci_raw_ops private to x86 and use it to
implement the new raw interface -- raw_pci_read() and raw_pci_write().

Thanks to Loic Prylli <loic@myri.com>, who originally proposed
this idea.
Always using legacy configuration mechanism for the legacy config space
and extended mechanism (mmconf) for the extended config space is
a simple and very logical approach. It's supposed to resolve all
known mmconf problems. It still allows per-device quirks (tweaking
dev->cfg_size). It also allows to get rid of mmconf fallback code.
