2008-01-10sata_qstor: use hardreset instead of softresetTejun Heo
During conversion to new EH, sata_qstor was accidentaly changed to use softreset, which is buggy on this chip, instead of hardreset. This patch updates sata_qstor such that it uses hardreset again. This fixes bugzilla bug 9631. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2008-01-09[ATM]: Check IP header validity in mpc_send_packetHerbert Xu
Al went through the ip_fast_csum callers and found this piece of code that did not validate the IP header.

2008-01-08[FORCEDETH]: Fix reversing the MAC address on suspend.Björn Steinbrink
For cards that initially have the MAC address stored in reverse order, the forcedeth driver uses a flag to signal whether the address was already corrected, so that it is not reversed again on a subsequent probe. Unfortunately this flag, which is stored in a register of the card, seems to get lost during suspend, resulting in the MAC address being reversed again. To fix that, the MAC address needs to be written back in reversed order before we suspend and the flag needs to be reset. The flag is still required because at least kexec will never write back the reversed address and thus needs to know what state the card is in.

2008-01-08[NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This makes the ->poll() routines of the E100, E1000, E1000E, IXGB, and IXGBE drivers complete ->poll() consistently. Now they will all break out when the amount of RX work done is less than 'budget'. At a later time, we may want put back code to include the TX work as well (as at least one other NAPI driver does, but by in large NAPI drivers do not do this). But if so, it should be done consistently across the board to all of these drivers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com>

2008-01-08[NET]: Fix drivers to handle napi_disable() disabling interrupts.David S. Miller
When we add the generic napi_disable_pending() breakout logic to net_rx_action() it means that napi_disable() can cause NAPI poll interrupt events to be disabled. And this is exactly what we want. If a napi_disable() is pending, and we are looping in the ->poll(), we want ->poll() event interrupts to stay disabled and we want to complete the NAPI poll ASAP. When ->poll() break out during device down was being handled on a per-driver basis, often these drivers would turn interrupts back on when '!netif_running()' was detected. And this would just cause a reschedule of the NAPI ->poll() in the interrupt handler before the napi_disable() could get in there and grab the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. The vast majority of drivers don't care if napi_disable() might have the side effect of disabling NAPI ->poll() event interrupts. In all such cases, when a napi_disable() is performed, the driver just disabled interrupts or is about to. However there were three exceptions to this in PCNET32, R8169, and SKY2. To fix those cases, at the subsequent napi_enable() points, I added code to ensure that the ->poll() interrupt events are enabled in the hardware. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-08[NET]: Do not check netif_running() and carrier state in ->poll()David S. Miller

2008-01-08[NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.David S. Miller
Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress. This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-08[NET]: Do not grab device reference when scheduling a NAPI poll.David S. Miller
It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-01-08[NIU]: Fix potentially stuck TCP socket send queues.David S. Miller
It is possible for the TX ring to have packets sit in it for unbounded amounts of time. The only way to defer TX interrupts in the chip is to periodically set "mark" bits, when processing of a TX descriptor with the mark bit set is complete it triggers the interrupt for the TX queue's LDG. A consequence of this kind of scheme is that if packet flow suddenly stops, the remaining TX packets will just sit there. If this happens, since those packets could be charged to TCP socket send queues, such sockets could get stuck. The simplest solution is to divorce the socket ownership of the packet once the device takes the SKB, by using skb_orphan() in niu_start_xmit(). In hindsight, it would have been much nicer if the chip provided two interrupt sources for TX (like basically every other ethernet chip does). Namely, keep the "mark" bit, but also signal the LDG when the TX queue becomes completely empty. That way there is no need to have a deadlock breaker like this. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-08futex: Prevent stale futex owner when interrupted/timeoutThomas Gleixner
Roland Westrelin did a great analysis of a long standing thinko in the return path of futex_lock_pi. While we fixed the lock steal case long ago, which was easy to trigger, we never had a test case which exposed this problem and stupidly never thought about the reverse lock stealing scenario and the return to user space with a stale state. When a blocked tasks returns from rt_mutex_timed_locked without holding the rt_mutex (due to a signal or timeout) and at the same time the task holding the futex is releasing the futex and assigning the ownership of the futex to the returning task, then it might happen that a third task acquires the rt_mutex before the final rt_mutex_trylock() of the returning task happens under the futex hash bucket lock. The returning task returns to user space with ETIMEOUT or EINTR, but the user space futex value is assigned to this task. The task which acquired the rt_mutex fixes the user space futex value right after the hash bucket lock has been released by the returning task, but for a short period of time the user space value is wrong. Detailed description is available at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400541 The fix for this is the same as we do when the rt_mutex was acquired by a higher priority task via lock stealing from the designated new owner. In that case we already fix the user space value and the internal pi_state up before we return. This mechanism can be used to fixup the above corner case as well. When the returning task, which failed to acquire the rt_mutex, notices that it is the designated owner of the futex, then it fixes up the stale user space value and the pi_state, before returning to user space. This happens with the futex hash bucket lock held, so the task which acquired the rt_mutex is guaranteed to be blocked on the hash bucket lock. We can access the rt_mutex owner, which gives us the pid of the new owner, safely here as the owner is not able to modify (release) it while waiting on the hash bucket lock. Rename the "curr" argument of fixup_pi_state_owner() to "newowner" to avoid confusion with current and add the check for the stale state into the failure path of rt_mutex_trylock() in the return path of unlock_futex_pi(). If the situation is detected use fixup_pi_state_owner() to assign everything to the owner of the rt_mutex.

2008-01-08pl2303: Fix mode switching regressionAlan Cox
Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with a real world application. To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

2008-01-08hfs: handle more on-disk corruptions without oopsingEric Sandeen
hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example. This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases. o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount (these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ) o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer we were trying to set up: HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open() ... failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.

2008-01-08vmcoreinfo: add the array length of "free_list" for filtering free pagesKen'ichi Ohmichi
This patch adds the array length of "free_area.free_list" to the vmcoreinfo data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can exclude all free pages in linux-2.6.24. makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.

2008-01-08eCryptfs: fix dentry handling on create error, unlink, and inode destroyMichael Halcrow
This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs. If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs. Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs dentry to correct this. eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().
