2005-09-07[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions genericPrasanna S Panchamukhi
There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(), register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler() gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes. I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section .kprobes.text. Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to .kprobes.text section. These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Fix smsc_ircc_init return valueBrice Goglin
I noticed a strange return value in smsc_ircc_init in drivers/net/irda/smsc_ircc2.c in rc4-mm1. When reaching the line "if (ircc_fir > 0 && ircc_sir > 0)", ret is 0. So I don't see the point of setting it to 0 in the "else" case. >From what I see in 2.6.12 it should probably be set to -ENODEV at the begining of the "else" case. The attached patch does this. Note that I didn't actually see any breakage caused by this.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Fix race in do_get_write_access()Jan Kara
attached patch should fix the following race: Proc 1 Proc 2 __flush_batch() ll_rw_block() do_get_write_access() lock_buffer jh is only waiting for checkpoint -> b_transaction == NULL -> do nothing unlock_buffer test_set_buffer_locked() test_clear_buffer_dirty() __journal_file_buffer() change the data submit_bh() and we have sent wrong data to disk... We now clean the dirty buffer flag under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the transaction is going to be committed. The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it. Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with IO happening).

2005-09-07[PATCH] kjournald: missing JFS_UNMOUNT checkMark Fasheh
It seems that kjournald() may be missing a check of the JFS_UNMOUNT flag before calling schedule(). This showed up in testing of OCFS2 recovery where our recovery thread would hang in journal_kill_thread() called from journal_destroy() because kjournald never got a chance to read the flag to shut down before the schedule(). Zach pointed out the missing check which led me to hack up this trivial patch. It's been tested many times now and I have yet to reproduce the hang, which was happening very regularly before. <mild rant> I'm guessing that we could really use some wait_event() calls with helper functions in, well, most of jbd these days which would make a ton of the wait code there vastly cleaner. </mild rant> As for why this doesn't happen in ext3 (or OCFS2 during normal mount/unmount of the local nodes journal), I think it may that the specific timing of events in the ocfs2 recovery thread exposes a race there. Because ocfs2_replay_journal() is only interested in playing back the journal, initialization and shutdown happen very quicky with no other metadata put into that specific journal.

2005-09-07[PATCH] w100fb: Rewrite for platform independenceRichard Purdie
The code w100fb was based on was horribly Sharp SL-C7x0 specific and there was little else that could be done as I had no access to anything else with a w100 in it. There is no real documentation about this chipset available. Ian Molton has access to other platforms with the w100 (Toshiba e-series) and so between us, we've improved w100fb and made it platform independent. Ian Molton also added support for the very similar w3220 and w3200 chipsets. There are a lot of changes here and it nearly amounts to a rewrite of the driver but it has been extensively tested and is being used in preference to the original driver in the Zaurus community. I'd therefore like to update the mainline code to reflect this.

2005-09-07[PATCH] sd: initialize SD cardsPierre Ossman
Support for the Secure Digital protocol in the MMC layer. A summary of the legal issues surrounding SD cards, as understood by yours truly: Members of the Secure Digital Association, hereafter SDA, are required to sign a NDA[1] before given access to any specifications. It has been speculated that including an SD implementation would forbid these members to redistribute Linux. This is the basic problem with SD support so it is unclear if it even is a problem since it has no effect on those of us that aren't members. The SDA doesn't seem to enforce these rules though since the patches included here are based on documentation made public by some of the members. The most complete specs[2] are actually released by Sandisk, one of the founding companies of the SDA. Because of this the NDA is considered a non-issue by most involved in the discussions concerning these patches. It might be that the SDA is only interested in protecting the so called "secure" bits of SD, which so far hasn't been found in any public spec. (The card is split into two sections, one "normal" and one "secure" which has an access scheme similar to TPM:s). (As a side note, Microsoft is working to make things easier for us since they want to be able to include the source code for a SD driver in one of their development kits. HP is making sure that the new NDA will allow a Linux implementation. So far only the SDIO specs have been opened up[3]. More will hopefully follow.)

If no MMC cards are found on a bus then the MMC layer proceeds looking for SD cards. Helper functions are extended to handle the special needs of SD cards.
