* 'for-2.6.34' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux:
nfsd4: bug in read_buf
|
|
The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.
This can be tested by:
ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
keyctl request2 user debug:a a
keyctl request user debug:a $ring
keyctl list $ring
If it says:
keyring is empty
then it didn't work. If it shows something like:
1 key in keyring:
1070462727: --alswrv 0 0 user: debug:a
then it did.
request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.
If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.
Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.
If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002
He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()). As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.
This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

When we call drm_vblank_off() at DPMS off time (to wake any clients so
they don't hang) we need to make sure interrupts are actually disabled.
If drm_vblank_off() gets called before the vblank usage timer expires,
it'll prevent the timer from disabling interrupts since it also clears
the vblank_enabled flag for the pipe.

When read_buf is called to move over to the next page in the pagelist
of an NFSv4 request, it sets argp->end to essentially a random
number, certainly not an address within the page which argp->p now
points to. So subsequent calls to READ_BUF will think there is much
more than a page of spare space (the cast to u32 ensures an unsigned
comparison) so we can expect to fall off the end of the second
page.
We never encountered thsi in testing because typically the only
operations which use more than two pages are write-like operations,
which have their own decoding logic. Something like a getattr after a
write may cross a page boundary, but it would be very unusual for it to
cross another boundary after that.

A new xfsqa test (226) with a prototype xfs_fsr change to try to
handle dynamic fork offsets better triggers an assertion failure
where the inode data fork is in btree format, yet there is room in
the inode for it to be in extent format. The two inodes look like:
before: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
before: ino 0x115 (temp), num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56
after: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
after: ino 0x115 (temp), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56
Basically the target inode ends up with 5 extents in btree format,
but it had space for 6 extents in extent format, so ends up
incorrect. Notably here the broot size is the same, and that is
where the kernel code is going wrong - the btree root will fit, so
it lets the swap go ahead.
The check should not allow the swap to take place if the number of
extents while in btree format is less than the number of extents
that can fit in the inode in extent format. Adding that check will
prevent this swap and corruption from occurring.

When Steffen originally wrote the authenc async hash patch, he
correctly had EINPROGRESS checks in place so that we did not invoke
the original completion handler with it.
Unfortuantely I told him to remove it before the patch was applied.
As only MAY_BACKLOG request completion handlers are required to
handle EINPROGRESS completions, those checks are really needed.
This patch restores them.

Sizing the buffer based on block size is incorrect, leading
to a potential buffer over-run on 4K block size file systems
(because the metadata block size is always 8K). This bug
doesn't seem have triggered because 4K block size file systems
are not default, and also because metadata blocks after
compression tend to be less than 4K.

The unpack routine fails to handle the decompress_method() returning
unrecognised decompressor (compress_name == NULL). This results in the
routine looping eventually oopsing on an out of bounds memory access.
Note this bug is usually hidden, only triggering on trailing junk after
one or more correct compressed blocks. The case of the compressed archive
being complete junk is (by accident?) caught by the if (state != Reset)
check because state is initialised to Start, but not updated due to the
decompressor not having been called. Obviously if the junk is trailing a
correctly decompressed buffer, state == Reset from the previous call to
the decompressor.

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

block devices
We are seeing a large regression in database performance on recent
kernels. The database opens a block device with O_DIRECT|O_SYNC and a
number of threads write to different regions of the file at the same time.
A simple test case is below. I haven't defined DEVICE since getting it
wrong will destroy your data :) On an 3 disk LVM with a 64k chunk size we
see about 17MB/sec and only a few threads in IO wait:
procs -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------
r b bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
0 3 0 16170 656 2259 0 0 86 14 0
0 2 0 16704 695 2408 0 0 92 8 0
0 2 0 17308 744 2653 0 0 86 14 0
0 2 0 17933 759 2777 0 0 89 10 0
Most threads are blocking in vfs_fsync_range, which has:
mutex_lock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
err = fop->fsync(file, dentry, datasync);
if (!ret)
ret = err;
mutex_unlock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) offers
some explanation of what is going on:
Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.
Thanks Jan for such a good commit message! As well as dropping i_mutex,
Christoph suggests we should remove the call to sync_blockdev():
> sync_blockdev is an overcomplicated alias for filemap_write_and_wait on
> the block device inode, which is exactly what we did just before calling
> into ->fsync
The patch below incorporates both suggestions. With it the testcase improves
from 17MB/s to 68M/sec:
procs -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------

This patch fixes 2 issues with the LZO decompressor:
- It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all. In
this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just
use memcpy() instead (the upstream LZO code does something similar)
- Since commit 54291362d2a5738e1b0495df2abcb9e6b0563a3f ("initramfs: add
missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is
checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the
expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a
decompression error occured

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.
This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

Fix regression caused by commit 507e2fbaaacb6f164b4125b87c5002f95143174b
("w1: w1 temp calculation overflow fix") whereby negative temperatures for
the DS18B20 are not converted properly.
When the temperature exceeds 32767 milli-degrees the temperature overflows
to -32768 millidegrees. These are both well within the -55 - +125 degree
range for the sensor.

Description of patch:
---------------------
This is a patch for the EFI framebuffer driver to enable the framebuffer
of the NVIDIA 9400M as found in MacBook Pro (MBP) 5,1 and up. The
framebuffer of the NVIDIA graphic cards are located at the following
addresses in memory:
9400M: 0xC0010000
9600M GT: 0xB0030000
The patch delivered right here only provides the memory location of the
framebuffer of the 9400M device. The 9600M GT is not covered. It is
assumed that the 9400M is used when powered up the MBP.
The information which device is currently powered and in use is stored in
the 64 bytes large EFI variable "gpu-power-prefs". More specifically,
byte 0x3B indicates whether 9600M GT (0x00) or 9400M (0x01) is online.
The PCI bus IDs are the following:
9400M: PCI 03:00:00
9600M GT: PCI 02:00:00
The EFI variables can be easily read-out and manipulated with "rEFIt", an
MBP specific bootloader tool. For more information on how handle rEFIt
and EFI variables please consult "http://refit.sourceforge.net" and
"http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1076879.html".
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information on how to activate the 9400M device given
at "ubuntuforums.org" is not correct, since it states
gpu-power-prefs[0x3B] = 0x00 -> 9400M (PCI 02:00:00)
gpu-power-prefs[0x3B] = 0x01 -> 9600M GT (PCI 03:00:00)
Actually, the assignment of the values and the PCI bus IDs are swapped.
Suggestions:
------------
To cover framebuffers of both 9400M and 9600M GT, I would suggest to
implement a conditional on "gpu-power-prefs". Depending on the value of
byte 0x3B, the according framebuffer is selected. However, this requires
kernel access to the EFI variables.

We must tell GCC to use even register for variable passed to ldrd
instruction. Without this patch GCC 4.2.1 puts this variable to r2/r3 on
EABI and r3/r4 on OABI, so force it to r2/r3. This does not change
anything when EABI and OABI compilation works OK.
Without this patch and with OABI I get:

Commit 48b32a3553a54740d236b79a90f20147a25875e3 ("reiserfs: use generic
xattr handlers") introduced a problem that causes corruption when extended
attributes are replaced with a smaller value.
The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved
from before the write to after the write.
The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered
over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded
again while the xattr was written.
The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost.
This patch fixes it to use new_size.

Commit 677c9b2e393a0cd203bd54e9c18b012b2c73305a ("reiserfs: remove
privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide
the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time
instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via
a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty.
This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and
modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including
root.
This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was
the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never
worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of
d_compare.
This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way.
The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and
caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.

Old P1020RDB device trees were not specifing tbipa address for
MDIO nodes, which is now causing this kernel oops:
...
eth2: TX BD ring size for Q[6]: 256
eth2: TX BD ring size for Q[7]: 256
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0015504
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
...
NIP [c0015504] memcpy+0x3c/0x9c
LR [c000a9f8] __of_translate_address+0xfc/0x21c
Call Trace:

[df839e50] [c01a33e8] get_gfar_tbipa+0xb0/0xe0
...
The old device trees are buggy, though having a dead ethernet is
better than a dead kernel, so fix the issue by using of_iomap().
Also, a somewhat similar issue exist in the probe() routine, though
there the oops is only a possibility. Nonetheless, fix it too.
