2008-11-20parisc: fix bug in compat_arch_ptraceHelge Deller
Commit 81e192d6ce303b6792aa38ff35f41a1a7357f23a ("parisc: convert to generic compat_sys_ptrace") introduced a bug which segfaults the parisc 64bit kernel when stracing 32bit applications: Kernel Fault: Code=15 regs=00000000bafa42b0 (Addr=00000001baf5ab57) YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI PSW: 00001000000001101111111100001011 Tainted: G W r00-03 000000ff0806ff0b 000000004068edc0 00000000401203f8 00000000fb3e2508 r04-07 0000000040686dc0 00000000baf5a800 fffffffffffffffc fffffffffb3e2508 r08-11 00000000baf5a800 000000000004b068 00000000000402b0 0000000000040d68 r12-15 0000000000042a9c 0000000000040a9c 0000000000040d60 0000000000042e9c r16-19 000000000004b060 000000000004b058 0000000000042d9c ffffffffffffffff r20-23 000000000800000b 0000000000000000 000000000800000b fffffffffb3e2508 r24-27 00000000fffffffc 0000000000000003 00000000fffffffc 0000000040686dc0 r28-31 00000001baf5a7ff 00000000bafa4280 00000000bafa42b0 00000000000001d7 sr00-03 0000000000fca000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000fca000 sr04-07 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IASQ: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IAOQ: 0000000040120400 0000000040120404 IIR: 4b9a06b0 ISR: 0000000000000000 IOR: 00000001baf5ab57 CPU: 0 CR30: 00000000bafa4000 CR31: 00000000d22344e0 ORIG_R28: 00000000fb3e2248 IAOQ[0]: compat_arch_ptrace+0xb8/0x160 IAOQ[1]: compat_arch_ptrace+0xbc/0x160 RP(r2): compat_arch_ptrace+0xb0/0x160 Backtrace: [<00000000401612ac>] compat_sys_ptrace+0x15c/0x180 [<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this: addr = translate_usr_offset(addr) this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable. But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory: if (addr < 0) break; Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value "sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator. Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs). This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

2008-11-20[CIFS] Do not attempt to close invalidated file handlesSteve French
If a connection with open file handles has gone down and come back up and reconnected without reopening the file handle yet, do not attempt to send an SMB close request for this handle in cifs_close. We were checking for the connection being invalid in cifs_close but since the connection may have been reconnected we also need to check whether the file handle was marked invalid (otherwise we could close the wrong file handle by accident).

Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace. Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates: - fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks. - fix to is_bl_op compare.

Impact: fix incorrect __init annotation This patch removes the following section mismatch warning. A patch set was send previously (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/10/407). But introduce some other problem, reported by Rufus (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/11/46). Then Ingo Molnar suggest that, it's best to remove __init from xsave_cntxt_init(void). Which is the second patch in this series. Now, this one removes the following warning.

inet_sk_rebuild_header() does a new route lookup if the dst_entry associated with a socket becomes stale.

2008-11-19USB: usbmon: fix read(2)Pete Zaitcev
There's a bug in the usbmon binary reader: When using read() to fetch the packets and a packet's data is partially read, the next read call will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size. So, when dumping USB data with "cat /dev/usbmon0 > usbmon.trace" while reading from a USB storage device and analyzing the dump file afterwards it will get out of sync after a couple of packets.

2008-11-19USB: fix SB700 usb subsystem hang bugAndiry Xu
This patch is required for AMD SB700 south bridge revision A12 and A13 to avoid USB subsystem hang symptom. The USB subsystem hang symptom is observed when the system has multiple USB devices connected to it. In some cases a USB hub may be required to observe this symptom. This patch works around the problem by correcting the internal register setting that will help by changing the behavior of the internal logic to avoid the USB subsystem hang issue. The change in the behavior of the logic does not impact the normal operation of the USB subsystem.

2008-11-19cgroups: fix a serious bug in cgroupstatsLi Zefan
Try this, and you'll get oops immediately: # cd Documentation/accounting/ # gcc -o getdelays getdelays.c # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt # ./getdelays -C /mnt/tasks Because a normal file's dentry->d_fsdata is a pointer to struct cftype, not struct cgroup. After the patch, it returns EINVAL if we try to get cgroupstats from a normal file.

2008-11-19hostfs: fix a duplicated global function nameWANG Cong
fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.c defines do_readlink() as non-static, and so does fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl.c when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y. So rename do_readlink() in hostfs to hostfs_do_readlink(). I think it's better if XFS guys will also rename their do_readlink(), it's not necessary to use such a general name.

2008-11-19don't unlink an active swapfileHugh Dickins
Peter Cordes is sorry that he rm'ed his swapfiles while they were in use, he then had no pathname to swapoff. It's a curious little oversight, but not one worth a lot of hackery. Kudos to Willy Tarreau for turning this around from a discussion of synthetic pathnames to how to prevent unlink. Mimic immutable: prohibit unlinking an active swapfile in may_delete() (and don't worry my little head over the tiny race window).

2008-11-19vmscan: let GFP_NOFS go to swap againHugh Dickins
In the past, GFP_NOFS (but of course not GFP_NOIO) was allowed to reclaim by writing to swap. That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around, Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with __GFP_IO. In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap(): allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.
