2007-01-26[PATCH] md: avoid reading past the end of a bitmap fileNeilBrown
In most cases we check the size of the bitmap file before reading data from it. However when reading the superblock, we always read the first PAGE_SIZE bytes, which might not always be appropriate. So limit that read to the size of the file if appropriate. Also, we get the count of available bytes wrong in one place, so that too can read past the end of the file.

2007-01-26[PATCH] md: make sure the events count in an md array never returns to zeroNeilBrown
Now that we sometimes step the array events count backwards (when transitioning dirty->clean where nothing else interesting has happened - so that we don't need to write to spares all the time), it is possible for the event count to return to zero, which is potentially confusing and triggers and MD_BUG. We could possibly remove the MD_BUG, but is just as easy, and probably safer, to make sure we never return to zero.

2007-01-26[PATCH] knfsd: Don't mess with the 'mode' when storing a exclusive-create cookiePeter Staubach
NFS V3 (and V4) support exclusive create by passing a 'cookie' which can get stored with the file. If the file exists but has exactly the right cookie stored, then we assume this is a retransmit and the exclusive create was successful. The cookie is 64bits and is traditionally stored in the mtime and atime fields. This causes a problem with Solaris7 as negative mtime or atime confuse it. So we moved two bits into the mode word instead. But inherited ACLs sometimes overwrite the mode word on create, so this is a problem. So we give up and just store 62 of the 64 bits and assume that is close enough.

2007-01-26[PATCH] knfsd: fix an NFSD bug with full sized, non-page-aligned readsNeilBrown
NFSd assumes that largest number of pages that will be needed for a request+response is 2+N where N pages is the size of the largest permitted read/write request. The '2' are 1 for the non-data part of the request, and 1 for the non-data part of the reply. However, when a read request is not page-aligned, and we choose to use ->sendfile to send it directly from the page cache, we may need N+1 pages to hold the whole reply. This can overflow and array and cause an Oops. This patch increases size of the array for holding pages by one and makes sure that entry is NULL when it is not in use.

2007-01-26[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regressionIngo Molnar
Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or ondemand) is used. After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following (totally correct) bug-fix commit: commit 0916bd3ebb7cefdd0f432e8491abe24f4b5a101e Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Date: Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500 [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method. This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden (BIOS) bug visible on my laptop. The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities) optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an incorrect value of '2'. My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported: 0: 1833000 1: 1333000 2: 1000000 Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance states are usable. A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 .. 2 are usable, a value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable. now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification. Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is initialized as well. So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is superfluous: [<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf [<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef [<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596 [<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8 [<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0 [<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176 [<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb [<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of '2'. Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely doesnt query it after bootup either. Maybe the value is kept at '2' normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event (such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs. So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to query it after the system has booted up. So in my opinion the best (and most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call, but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's notified during an asynchronous event. This change is more permissive than the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system. This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at 1.83 GHz now. Yay!

2007-01-26[PATCH] SPI: alternative fix for spi_busnum_to_masterAtsushi Nemoto
If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash, due to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env(). This problem was not in 2.6.19. The backtrace (on MIPS) was: [<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8 [<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c (in drivers/class.c) [<801cb14c>] subsys_attr_store+0x2c/0x50 [<801cb80c>] flush_write_buffer+0x38/0x5c [<801cb900>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x190 [<80181444>] vfs_write+0xc4/0x1a0 [<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a struct subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct class_device. The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of class_device_attr_store(). This mismatch was caused by commit 3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of master class. This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops. The commit was to fix spi_busnum_to_master(). Here is a patch fixes this function in other way, just searching children list of class_device.

This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now. It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the right thing for the vDSO vma anyway. Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed. It handles the CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does. This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from the vDSO. I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV.

2007-01-26Write back inode data pages even when the inode itself is lockedLinus Torvalds
In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not doing a data-integrity sync, we used to just skip writing entirely, since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock. However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of course!)

2007-01-26Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackeryLinus Torvalds
It's not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data=journal will clean pages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean. This, in turn, will result in the VM (and balance_dirty_pages() in particular) to never realize that the pages got cleaned, and wait forever for an event that already happened. Technically, this seems to be a problem with ext3 itself, but it used to be hidden by 'try_to_free_buffers()' noticing this situation on its own, and just working around the filesystem problem. This commit re-instates that hack, in order to avoid a regression for the 2.6.20 release. This fixes bugzilla 7844: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7844 Peter Zijlstra points out that we should probably retain the debugging code that this removes from cancel_dirty_page(), and I agree, but for the imminent release we might as well just silence the warning too (since it's not a new bug: anything that triggers that warning has been around forever).

2007-01-26[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_pptp: fix NAT setup of expected GRE connectionsPatrick McHardy
When an expected connection arrives, the NAT helper should be called to set up NAT similar to the master connection. The PPTP conntrack helper incorrectly checks whether the _expected_ connection has NAT setup before calling the NAT helper (which is never the case), instead of checkeing whether the _master_ connection is NATed.

2007-01-26[NETFILTER]: nf_nat_pptp: fix expectation removalPatrick McHardy
When removing the expectation for the opposite direction, the PPTP NAT helper initializes the tuple for lookup with the addresses of the opposite direction, which makes the lookup fail. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-01-26[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: fix ICMP translation with statically linked conntrackPatrick McHardy
When nf_nat/nf_conntrack_ipv4 are linked statically, nf_nat is initialized before nf_conntrack_ipv4, which makes the nf_ct_l3proto_find_get(AF_INET) call during nf_nat initialization return the generic l3proto instead of the AF_INET specific one. This breaks ICMP error translation since the generic protocol always initializes the IPs in the tuple to 0. Change the linking order and put nf_conntrack_ipv4 first.

2007-01-26[TCP]: Restore SKB socket owner setting in tcp_transmit_skb().David S. Miller
Revert 931731123a103cfb3f70ac4b7abfc71d94ba1f03 We can't elide the skb_set_owner_w() here because things like certain netfilter targets (such as owner MATCH) need a socket to be set on the SKB for correct operation.

On x86-64, a put_user call using a 64-bit pointer and a constant value that is > 0xffffffff will produce code that doesn't assemble.

2007-01-25libata: implement ATA_FLAG_IGN_SIMPLEX and use it in sata_uliTejun Heo
Some uli controllers have stuck SIMPLEX bit which can't be cleared with ata_pci_clear_simplex(), but the controller is capable of doing DMAs on both channels simultaneously. Implement ATA_FLAG_IGN_SIMPLEX which makes libata ignore the simplex bit and use it in sata_uli. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-01-25ahci: improve and limit spurious interrupt messages, take#3Tejun Heo
We're still seeing a lot of issues with NCQ implementation in drive firmwares. Sprious FISes during NCQ command phase occur on many drives and some of them seem potentially dangerous (at least to me). Until we find the solution, spurious messages can give us more info. Improve and limit them such that more info can be reported while not disturbing users too much. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-01-25sata_via: don't diddle with ATA_NIEN in ->freezeTejun Heo
vt6420 completely loses its ability to raise IRQ for ATAPI devices if ATA_NIEN is diddled with in ->freeze. Further investigation is necessary to determine whether this problem is shared on other controllers but it doesn't seem to be at this point. Make vt6420's ->freeze only clear IRQ to fix this problem. This makes vt6420 relatively more prone to IRQ storms but the controller is way too braindamaged to worry about that anyway.

2007-01-25[TCP]: Fix sorting of SACK blocks.Baruch Even
The sorting of SACK blocks actually munges them rather than sort, causing the TCP stack to ignore some SACK information and breaking the assumption of ordered SACK blocks after sorting. The sort takes the data from a second buffer which isn't moved causing subsequent data moves to occur from the wrong location. The fix is to use a temporary buffer as a normal sort does.
