nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-16T07:12:42+00:00

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream. The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken() is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to (NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1). Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value is set to the level parameter on device. This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy

2015-05-15T07:10:58+00:00

commit 7a3ef208e662f4b63d43a23f61a64a129c525bbc upstream. Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level. This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times bigger than count of vmas. This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes when it searches where page is might be mapped.

usb: define a generic USB_RESUME_TIMEOUT macro

2015-05-04T09:49:54+00:00

commit 62f0342de1f012f3e90607d39e20fce811391169 upstream. Every USB Host controller should use this new macro to define for how long resume signalling should be driven on the bus. Currently, almost every single USB controller is using a 20ms timeout for resume signalling. That's problematic for two reasons: a) sometimes that 20ms timer expires a little before 20ms, which makes us fail certification b) some (many) devices actually need more than 20ms resume signalling. Sure, in case of (b) we can state that the device is against the USB spec, but the fact is that we have no control over which device the certification lab will use. We also have no control over which host they will use. Most likely they'll be using a Windows PC which, again, we have no control over how that USB stack is written and how long resume signalling they are using. At the end of the day, we must make sure Linux passes electrical compliance when working as Host or as Device and currently we don't pass compliance as host because we're driving resume signallig for exactly 20ms and that confuses certification test setup resulting in Certification failure.

net: fix crash in build_skb()

2015-04-30T11:28:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ] When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area. In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use, and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb->head_frag and skb->pfmemalloc This means netlink no longer has to hack skb->head_frag [ 1567.700067] kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:26!

Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b upstream. SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has been set.

NFS: Add attribute update barriers to nfs_setattr_update_inode()

2015-04-09T12:13:22+00:00

commit f044636d972246d451e06226cc1675d5da389762 upstream. Ensure that other operations which raced with our setattr RPC call cannot revert the file attribute changes that were made on the server. To do so, we artificially bump the attribute generation counter on the inode so that all calls to nfs_fattr_init() that precede ours will be dropped. The motivation for the patch came from Chuck Lever's reports of readaheads racing with truncate operations and causing the file size to be reverted.
