2007-11-14hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() for write accessAdam Litke
When calling get_user_pages(), a write flag is passed in by the caller to indicate if write access is required on the faulted-in pages. Currently, follow_hugetlb_page() ignores this flag and always faults pages for read-only access. This can cause data corruption because a device driver that calls get_user_pages() with write set will not expect COW faults to occur on the returned pages. This patch passes the write flag down to follow_hugetlb_page() and makes sure hugetlb_fault() is called with the right write_access parameter.

2007-11-14dmaengine: fix broken device refcountingHaavard Skinnemoen
When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented twice for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in dma_chan_cleanup(). This may result in the DMA device driver's remove() function completing before all channels have been cleaned up, causing lots of use-after-free fun. Fix it by incrementing the device's reference count twice for each channel during registration.

2007-11-14paride: pf driver fixesOndrej Zary
The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20 seconds, making the driver useless. The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once. The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

2007-11-14Migration: find correct vma in new_vma_page()Lee Schermerhorn
We hit the BUG_ON() in mm/rmap.c:vma_address() when trying to migrate via mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) a non-anon region that spans multiple vmas. For anon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the range. This occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by calling check_range(). check_range() walks the task's mm, spanning vmas as necessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind() calls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new pages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma of the range. For each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma() passing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get for alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving policy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas, eventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma() with the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug check in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just return EFAULT and fail the migration. This patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from page_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page() searchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does not return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to migrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch documents this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page(). If new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward search in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will result in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default policy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior with a comment. Note, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma range each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we can make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it's caller unmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages() always passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will require changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is this necessary? For this patch to work, we can't bug check in vma_address() for pages outside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other callers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status. Tested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform.

2007-11-14uml: update address space affected by pud_clearJeff Dike
pud_clear wasn't setting the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit, fooling tlb_flush into thinking that this area of the address space was up-to-date and not unmapping whatever was covered by the pud. This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at 0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.

2007-11-14RTCs: handle NVRAM betterDavid Brownell
Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs. Such NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses, etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth. This patch improves integrity and security of those files: - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where that was not yet being done. - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not be world-writable by default. Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular data that might be corrupted. (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone read it either" approach. Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't really care about security.)

When backlight_device_register() fails, return after undo initialization, do not try to use pointer that just was reset to NULL This fixes this oops: [ 1595.177672] [<c010480a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30 [ 1595.177706] [<c01052a2>] show_trace+0x12/0x20 [ 1595.177718] [<c0105305>] dump_stack+0x15/0x20 [ 1595.177728] [<c01c9375>] kobject_shadow_add+0x125/0x1c0 [ 1595.177754] [<c01c941a>] kobject_add+0xa/0x10 [ 1595.177764] [<c0239a37>] device_add+0x97/0x5d0 [ 1595.177776] [<c0239f82>] device_register+0x12/0x20 [ 1595.177786] [<dfd912df>] backlight_device_register+0x9f/0x110 [backlight] [ 1595.177814] [<df861117>] toshiba_acpi_init+0x117/0x15e [toshiba_acpi] [ 1595.177834] [<c013e28d>] sys_init_module+0xfd/0x14e0 [ 1595.177871] [<c0104112>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x99 [ 1595.177883] ======================= [ 1595.177890] Could not register toshiba backlight device [ 1595.177985] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 ...

2007-11-13cmd64x: don't clear the other channel's interruptSergei Shtylyov
Make sure to not clear the other IDE channel's interrupt when clearing an IDE interrupt via the MRDMODE register. Thanks to Bart for finding a coding mistake. Bart: This fixes regression from commit 66602c83dcb6a5d82772d88ae7a32cd4a1213528 ("cmd64x: use interrupt status from MRDMODE register (take 2)"). Extra thanks to Martin for reporting and bisecting the issue.
