2009-03-19aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus contextJeff Moyer
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list (harness/cases/3.p). Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0). The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless" (commit abf137dd7712132ee56d5b3143c2ff61a72a5faa). Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was not found.

2009-03-19eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ contextDavide Libenzi
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.

2009-03-19Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()Linus Torvalds
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without the dirty bits set when the page is dirty. I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve a real race, which we should close."

2009-03-19Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGSLinus Torvalds
This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie things like if (ptr + offset < ptr) which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597 for details. Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

2009-03-18[S390] make page table upgrade work againMartin Schwidefsky
After TASK_SIZE now gives the current size of the address space the upgrade of a 64 bit process from 3 to 4 levels of page table needs to use the arch_mmap_check hook to catch large mmap lengths. The get_unmapped_area* functions need to check for -ENOMEM from the arch_get_unmapped_area*, upgrade the page table and retry. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2009-03-18[S390] make page table walking more robustMartin Schwidefsky
Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table. To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.

2009-03-18[S390] Dont check for pfn_valid() in uaccess_pt.cGerald Schaefer
pfn_valid() actually checks for a valid struct page and not for a valid pfn. Using xip mappings w/o struct pages, this will result in -EFAULT returned by the (page table walk) user copy functions, even though there is valid memory. Those user copy functions don't need a struct page, so this patch just removes the pfn_valid() check.

2009-03-17x86: fix broken irq migration logic while cleaning up multiple vectorsSuresh Siddha
Impact: fix spurious IRQs During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches. This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(), other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled). When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler. This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors at the same time. [ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to the best of our knowledge it has never been seen.
