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.

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.

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.

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.

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().

The change in the raid6 code is not techincally needed as we don't delay
data block recovery in the same way for raid6 yet. But making the change

This was writeable in 2.6.23 but the cpuidle merge made it read-only. But
some people's scripts (ie: Mark's) were writing to it.
As an unhappy compromise, make max_cstate writeable again if the kernel was
configured without CONFIG_CPU_IDLE.

make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code

First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock

=====================================

swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:

then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:

---[ end trace 1e9219be2b4431de ]---
the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
/* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19.
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.
Bug forensics:
The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:
commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800
[PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs
( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
historic git tree. )
Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:
commit c32b6b8e524d2c337767d312814484d9289550cf
Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800
[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
+ if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
+ return 0;
which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
shipped with this bug included.
then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

The SCSI SRP transport class currently iterates over all children
devices of the host that is being removed in srp_remove_host(). However,
not all of those children were created by the SRP transport, and
removing them will cause corruption and an oops when their creator tries
to remove them.

The DLE handling in i4l-audio seems to be broken.
It produces spurious DLEs so asterisk 1.2.24 with chan_modem_i4l
gets irritated, the error message is:
"chan_modem_i4l.c:450 i4l_read: Value of escape is ^ (17)".
-> There shouldn't be a DLE-^.
If a spurious DLE-ETX occurs, the audio connection even dies.
I use a "AVM Fritz!PCI" isdn card.
I found two issues that only appear if ISDN_AUDIO_SKB_DLECOUNT(skb) > 0:
- The loop in isdn_tty.c:isdn_tty_try_read() doesn't escape a DLE if it's
the last character.
- The loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan_tty() doesn't copy its characters,
it only remembers the last one ("last = *p;").
Compare it with the loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan(), that *does*
copy them ("*cp++ = *p;") correctly.
The special handling of the "last" character made it more difficult.
I compared it to linux-2.4.19: There was no "last"-handling and both loops
did escape and copy all characters correctly.

The ISDN tty layer doesn't produce a 'NO CARRIER' message after hangup.
I suppose it broke when tty_buffer_flush() has been added to
tty_ldisc_flush() in the commit below.
For isdn_tty_modem_result(RESULT_NO_CARRIER..) the
message inserted via isdn_tty_at_cout() -> tty_insert_flip_char()
is flushed immediately by tty_ldisc_flush() -> tty_buffer_flush().
More annoyingly, the audio abort sequence DLE-ETX is also lost.
This patch fixes only active audio connections, because I assume that nobody
changes the line discipline for audio.
For non-audio connections the problem remains.
Maybe we can remove the tty_ldisc_flush() in isdn_tty_modem_result()
at all because it's done at tty_close?

Error code should be set to EINVAL instead of ENODEV if !queue_work().
There's another call of queue_work() which may set err to EINVAL.

When re-naming an interface, the previous secondary address
labels get lost e.g.
$> brctl addbr foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.2 dev foo label foo:00
$> ip addr show dev foo | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global foo
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global foo:00
$> ip link set foo name bar
$> ip addr show dev bar | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global bar
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global bar:2
Turns out to be a simple thinko in inetdev_changename() - clearly we
want to look at the address label, rather than the device name, for
a suffix to retain.

This reverts changeset fa4f0774d7c6cccb4d1fda76b91dd8eddcb2dd6a
([CASSINI]: dont touch page_count) because it breaks the driver.
The local page counting added by this changeset did not account
for the asynchronous page count changes done by kfree_skb()
and friends.
The change adds extra atomics and on top of it all appears to be
totally unnecessary as well.
