ACPI: Remove one board specific WARN when ignoring timer overriding

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit 7f68b4c2e158019c2ec494b5cfbd9c83b4e5b253 upstream. Current WARN msg is only for the ati_ixp4x0 board, while this function is used by mulitple platforms. So this one board specific warning is not appropriate any more. Signed-off-by: Feng Tang Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ACPI: Make acpi_skip_timer_override cover all source_irq==0 cases

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit ae10ccdc3093486f8c2369d227583f9d79f628e5 upstream. Currently when acpi_skip_timer_override is set, it only cover the (source_irq == 0 && global_irq == 2) cases. While there is also platform which need use this option and its global_irq is not 2. This patch will extend acpi_skip_timer_override to cover all timer overriding cases as long as the source irq is 0. This is the first part of a fix to kernel bug bugzilla 40002: "IRQ 0 assigned to VGA" https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40002 Reported-and-tested-by: Szymon Kowalczyk Signed-off-by: Feng Tang Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm: Hold a file reference in madvise_remove

commit 9ab4233dd08036fe34a89c7dc6f47a8bf2eb29eb upstream. Otherwise the code races with munmap (causing a use-after-free of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct file).

fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit fea9f718b3d68147f162ed2d870183ce5e0ad8d8 upstream. There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU: 1. create a new file 2. mmap the file and write to it 3. read the file can't get the correct value Because sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page() which causes the page to be zeroed. Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().

mm, thp: abort compaction if migration page cannot be charged to memcg

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit 4bf2bba3750f10aa9e62e6949bc7e8329990f01b upstream. If page migration cannot charge the temporary page to the memcg, migrate_pages() will return -ENOMEM. This isn't considered in memory compaction however, and the loop continues to iterate over all pageblocks trying to isolate and migrate pages. If a small number of very large memcgs happen to be oom, however, these attempts will mostly be futile leading to an enormous amout of cpu consumption due to the page migration failures. This patch will short circuit and fail memory compaction if migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. COMPACT_PARTIAL is returned in case some migrations were successful so that the page allocator will retry.

memory hotplug: fix invalid memory access caused by stale kswapd pointer

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit d8adde17e5f858427504725218c56aef90e90fc7 upstream. kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory of a NUMA node has been offlined. But kswapd_stop() only terminates the work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL. The stale pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again. Eventually the stale pointer may cause invalid memory access. An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest kernel has the same issue.

md/raid10: Don't try to recovery unmatched (and unused) chunks.

2012-07-16T15:47:52+00:00

commit fc448a18ae6219af9a73257b1fbcd009efab4a81 upstream. If a RAID10 has an odd number of chunks - as might happen when there are an odd number of devices - the last chunk has no pair and so is not mirrored. We don't store data there, but when recovering the last device in an array we retry to recover that last chunk from a non-existent location. This results in an error, and the recovery aborts. When we get to that last chunk we should just stop - there is nothing more to do anyway. This bug has been present since the introduction of RAID10, so the patch is appropriate for any -stable kernel.

md/raid5: Do not add data_offset before call to is_badblock

2012-07-16T15:47:51+00:00

commit 6c0544e255dd6582a9899572e120fb55d9f672a4 upstream. In chunk_aligned_read() we are adding data_offset before calling is_badblock. But is_badblock also adds data_offset, so that is bad. So move the addition of data_offset to after the call to is_badblock. This bug was introduced by commit 31c176ecdf3563140e639 md/raid5: avoid reading from known bad blocks. which first appeared in 3.0. So that patch is suitable for any -stable kernel from 3.0.y onwards. However it will need minor revision for most of those (as the comment didn't appear until recently).
