2006-08-14[PATCH] workqueue: remove lock_cpu_hotplug()Andrew Morton
Use a private lock instead. It protects all per-cpu data structures in workqueue.c, including the workqueues list. Fix a bug in schedule_on_each_cpu(): it was forgetting to lock down the per-cpu resources. Unfixed long-standing bug: if someone unplugs the CPU identified by `singlethread_cpu' the kernel will get very sick.

2006-08-14[PATCH] futex_handle_fault always failsjohn stultz
We found this issue last week w/ the -RT kernel, but it seems the same issue is in mainline as well. Basically it is possible for futex_unlock_pi to return without actually freeing the lock. This is due to buggy logic in the use of futex_handle_fault() and its attempt argument in a failure case. Looking at futex.c the logic is as follows: 1) In futex_unlock_pi() we start w/ ret=0 and we go down to the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), where we find uval==-EFAULT. We then jump to the pi_faulted label. 2) From pi_faulted: We increment attempt, unlock the sem and hit the retry label. 3) From the retry label, with ret still zero, we again hit EFAULT on the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), and again goto the pi_faulted label. 4) Again from pi_faulted: we increment attempt and enter the conditional, where we call futex_handle_fault. 5) futex_handle_fault fails, and we goto the out_unlock_release_sem label. 6) From out_unlock_release_sem we return, and since ret is still zero, we return without error, while never actually unlocking the lock. Issue #1: at the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() we should probably be setting ret=-EFAULT before jumping to pi_faulted: However in our case this doesn't really affect anything, as the glibc we're using ignores the error value from futex_unlock_pi(). Issue #2: Look at futex_handle_fault(), its first conditional will return -EFAULT if attempt is >= 2. However, from the "if(attempt++) futex_handle_fault(attempt)" logic above, we'll *never* call futex_handle_fault when attempt is less then two. So we never get a chance to even try to fault the page in. The following patch addresses these two issues by 1) Always setting ret to -EFAULT if futex_handle_fault fails, and 2) Removing the = in futex_handle_fault's (attempt >= 2) check. I'm really not sure this is the right fix, but wanted to bring it up so folks knew the issue is alive and well in the current -git tree. From looking at the git logs the logic was first introduced (then later copied to other places) in the following commit almost a year ago: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721;hp=5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385cc94be45d0823 Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-08-14[PATCH] sys_getppid oopses on debug kernelKirill Korotaev
sys_getppid() optimization can access a freed memory. On kernels with DEBUG_SLAB turned ON, this results in Oops. As Dave Hansen noted, this optimization is also unsafe for memory hotplug. So this patch always takes the lock to be safe.

2006-08-14[PATCH] Change panic_on_oops message to "Fatal exception"Horms
Previously the message was "Fatal exception: panic_on_oops", as introduced in a recent patch whith removed a somewhat dangerous call to ssleep() in the panic_on_oops path. However, Paul Mackerras suggested that this was somewhat confusing, leadind people to believe that it was panic_on_oops that was the root cause of the fatal exception. On his suggestion, this patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception". A suitable oops message should already have been displayed.

2006-08-13[INET]: Use pskb_trim_unique when trimming paged unique skbsHerbert Xu
The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet (since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system). This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions instead. This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim calls with it.

2006-08-13[NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernelsMark Huang
Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits, there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU. Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.

2006-08-13[LLC]: multicast receive device matchStephen Hemminger
Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast, and we do need to know on which interface they were received. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-08-13[IPSEC]: Validate properly in xfrm_dst_check()David S. Miller
If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the dsts that it references to be validated on every use. I misunderstood this intention when I changed xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL. Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free() on it. This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so that the socket does a relookup for the route. Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate the state, else always return NULL. In general, we need to do things more intelligently here because we flush too much state during rule changes. Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key manager gives us some help in this area. We can also use smarter state management algorithms inside of the kernel as well. Signed-off-by: David S.
