2008-01-11ps3fb: fix deadlock on kexec()Jeremy Kerr
Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in 0333d83509c7d8496c8965b5ba9bc0c98e83c259, kexecing can cause the kernel to deadlock: ps3fb_shutdown() -> unregister_framebuffer() -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND) -> fbcon_fb_unbind() -> unbind_con_driver() -> bind_con_driver() [ acquires console_sem ] -> fbcon_deinit() -> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0) -> ps3fb_release() -> ps3fb_sync() [ acquires console_sem ] This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem() out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore. [Geert] - Corrected call sequence above - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release(). I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing crashes or lockups. Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during shutdown/kexec).

2008-01-11ps3fb: prevent use after free of fb_infoJeremy Kerr
In ps3fb_shutdown, freeing the framebuffer will cause fb_info (in dev->core.driver_data) to be free()ed, which we potentially access from the ps3fbd kthread. This change frees the framebuffer after stopping the ps3fbd kthread.

2008-01-11cache invalidation error for buffered writeMassimo Cirillo
The bug causes corruptions of data read from flash. The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len" in do_write_buffer(). Since len and adr could be updated in the code before invalidation - it causes improper setting of cache invalidation regions.

2008-01-11[MIPS] Malta: Fix software reset on big endianDmitri Vorobiev
I noticed that the commit f197465384bf7ef1af184c2ed1a4e268911a91e3 (MIPS Tech: Get rid of volatile in core code) broke the software reset functionality for MIPS Malta boards in big-endian mode. According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic 32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however, swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32. The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel() routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also included. The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional after the change. P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org Web site claims that Atlas support is scheduled for removal.

2008-01-10libata: don't normalize UNKNOWN to NONE after resetTejun Heo
After non-classifying reset, ehc->classes[] could contain ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN which used to be normalized to ATA_DEV_NONE for consistency. However, this causes unfortunate side effect for drivers which have non-classifying hardresets (e.g. sata_nv) by making hardreset report ATA_DEV_NONE for non-classifying resets and thus makes EH believe that the port is unoccupied and recovery can be skipped. The end result is that after a device is swapped with another one, the new device isn't attached after the old one is detached. This patch makes ata_eh_reset() not normalize UNKNOWN to NONE after non-classifying resets. This fixes the above problem. As UNKNOWN and NONE are handled differently by only EH hotplug logic, this doesn't cause other behavior changes.

2008-01-08[FORCEDETH]: Fix reversing the MAC address on suspend.Björn Steinbrink
For cards that initially have the MAC address stored in reverse order, the forcedeth driver uses a flag to signal whether the address was already corrected, so that it is not reversed again on a subsequent probe. Unfortunately this flag, which is stored in a register of the card, seems to get lost during suspend, resulting in the MAC address being reversed again. To fix that, the MAC address needs to be written back in reversed order before we suspend and the flag needs to be reset. The flag is still required because at least kexec will never write back the reversed address and thus needs to know what state the card is in.

2008-01-08[NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

While strace-ing -T it I also noticed that first part of route cache is fetched quite fast : recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3772 <0.000047> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3736 <0.000042> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3740 <0.000055> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3712 <0.000043> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3732 <0.000053> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3708 <0.000052> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3680 <0.000041> while the part at the end of the table is more expensive: recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3656 <0.003857> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3772 <0.003891> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3712 <0.003765> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3700 <0.003879> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3676 <0.003797> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3724 <0.003856> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3736 <0.003848> The following patch corrects this performance/latency problem, removing quadratic behavior.

2008-01-08[NET]: Make ->poll() breakout consistent in Intel ethernet drivers.David S. Miller
This makes the ->poll() routines of the E100, E1000, E1000E, IXGB, and IXGBE drivers complete ->poll() consistently. Now they will all break out when the amount of RX work done is less than 'budget'. At a later time, we may want put back code to include the TX work as well (as at least one other NAPI driver does, but by in large NAPI drivers do not do this). But if so, it should be done consistently across the board to all of these drivers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com>
2008-01-08[NET]: Stop polling when napi_disable() is pending.David S. Miller
This finally adds the code in net_rx_action() to break out of the ->poll()'ing loop when a napi_disable() is found to be pending. Now, even if a device is being flooded with packets it can be cleanly brought down. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
