2005-10-25PCI: be more verbose about resource quirksLinus Torvalds
When reserving an PCI quirk, note that in the kernel bootup messages. Also, parse the strange PIIX4 device resources - they should get their own PCI resource quirks, but for now just print out what it finds to verify that the code does the right thing.

2005-10-25[PATCH] qlogic lockup fixAndrew Morton
If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call qla2x00_free_device() to clean up. But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started yet. It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct and the kernel hangs up. Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

2005-10-24[PATCH] posix-timers: fix posix_cpu_timer_set() vs run_posix_cpu_timers() raceOleg Nesterov
This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I was unable to trigger it). I must admit, I don't understand why we can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)' without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does. posix_cpu_timer_set: read_lock(&tasklist_lock); spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock); list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry); spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock); We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing' local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe. Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers() will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case, .... if (timer->it.cpu.firing) { read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); timer->it.cpu.firing = -1; return TIMER_RETRY; } sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again, it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

2005-10-24[PATCH] posix-timers: remove false BUG_ON() from run_posix_cpu_timers()Oleg Nesterov
do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that. After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL. At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just return from irq.

2005-10-24[PATCH] posix-timers: fix cleanup_timers() and run_posix_cpu_timers() racesOleg Nesterov
1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks. That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set() lock_timer(timer); if (timer->task == NULL) return; read_lock(tasklist); put_task_struct(timer->task) is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed until timer deleted or armed. 2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del() should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We should always re-arm an event queue's interrupt in mthca_tavor_interrupt() if the corresponding bit is set in the event cause register (ECR), even if we didn't find any entries in the EQ.

2005-10-23[PATCH] inotify/idr leak fixAndrew Morton
Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk> IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some memory. Add and use idr_destroy() for this. v9fs and infiniband also need to use idr_destroy() to avoid leaks. Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably better. Later.

2005-10-23[NEIGH] Fix timer leak in neigh_changeaddrHerbert Xu
neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches NEIGH_FAILED. It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock. In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state. So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2005-10-23[NEIGH] Fix add_timer race in neigh_add_timerHerbert Xu
neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update) could have already added a new timer. So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly. This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2005-10-21[PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signalRoland McGrath
When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

2005-10-21[PATCH] cpufreq: fix pending powernow timer stuck conditionDave Jones
AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same time as a P-state change request. Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times out, but can no longer perform P-state changes. It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the southbridge will acknowledge normally. Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code.

2005-10-21[PATCH] ppc64: Fix pages marked dirty abusivelyBenjamin Herrenschmidt
While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our update_mmu_cache() implementation. The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass _PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want. In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The (hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.
