Btrfs: make sure nbytes are right after log replay

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit 4bc4bee4595662d8bff92180d5c32e3313a704b0 upstream. While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file. That is because the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it. So to fix this we need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay the extent. This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct. With this I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

vm: convert mtdchar mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit 8558e4a26b00225efeb085725bc319f91201b239 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The mtdchar case is actually disabled right now (and stays disabled), but I did it because it showed up on my "git grep", and I was familiar with the code due to fixing an overflow problem in the code in commit 9c603e53d380 ("mtdchar: fix offset overflow detection").

vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The HPET case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent a trivial test-program for it).

vm: convert fb_mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit fc9bbca8f650e5f738af8806317c0a041a48ae4a upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The fb_mmap() case is a good example because it is a bit more complicated than some: fb_mmap() mmaps one of two different memory areas depending on the page offset of the mmap (but happily there is never any mixing of the two, so the helper function still works).

vm: convert snd_pcm_lib_mmap_iomem() to vm_iomap_memory() helper

commit 0fe09a45c4848b5b5607b968d959fdc1821c161d upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The pcm mmap case is one of the more straightforward ones. Acked-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit b4cbb197c7e7a68dbad0d491242e3ca67420c13e upstream. Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

fbcon: fix locking harder

2013-04-26T04:23:48+00:00

commit 054430e773c9a1e26f38e30156eff02dedfffc17 upstream. Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon, however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit. In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map, this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier entry points that lead to this. This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten. Tested-by: Maarten Lankhorst Tested-by: Lu Hua Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()

2013-04-26T04:23:48+00:00

commit 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f upstream. Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy(). Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").

Revert "sysfs: fix race between readdir and lseek"

2013-04-26T04:23:48+00:00

This reverts commit 991f76f837bf22c5bb07261cfd86525a0a96650c in Linus' tree which is f366c8f271888f48e15cc7c0ab70f184c220c8a4 in linux-stable.git It depends on ef3d0fd27e90f ("vfs: do (nearly) lockless generic_file_llseek") which is available only in 3.2+. When applied on 3.0 codebase, it causes A-A deadlock, whenever anyone does seek() on sysfs, as both generic_file_llseek() and sysfs_dir_llseek() obtain i_mutex.
