mtd: nand: allow NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE to be set from driver

2012-10-21T16:32:42+00:00

commit bf7a01bf7987b63b121d572b240c132ec44129c4 upstream. The NAND_CHIPOPTIONS_MSK has limited utility and is causing real bugs. It silently masks off at least one flag that might be set by the driver (NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE). This breaks the GPMI NAND driver and possibly others. Really, as long as driver writers exercise a small amount of care with NAND_* options, this mask is not necessary at all; it was only here to prevent certain options from accidentally being set by the driver. But the original thought turns out to be a bad idea occasionally. Thus, kill it. Note, this patch fixes some major gpmi-nand breakage.

mempolicy: fix a race in shared_policy_replace()

2012-10-12T20:50:32+00:00

commit b22d127a39ddd10d93deee3d96e643657ad53a49 upstream. shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

ipv4: add a fib_type to fib_info

2012-10-12T20:50:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4ef85bbda96324785097356336bc79cdd37db0a ] commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.) introduced a regression for forwarding. This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were delivered to local host instead of being forwarded. David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes. With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful hints, reproduced here : Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse from different routes. For example, when local IP address is created for subnet we have: broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.1 The "dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1" is a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes. The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and 192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24. So, this patch should solve the problem because it separates the broadcast from unicast traffic. And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just because they differ in scope and use different fib_info. Many thanks to Chris Clayton for his patience and help.

syscalls: add __NR_kcmp syscall to generic unistd.h

2012-09-26T19:26:30+00:00

Commit d97b46a64 ("syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall" ) added a new syscall to support checkpoint restore. It is currently x86-only, but that restriction will be removed in a subsequent patch. Unfortunately, the kernel checksyscalls script had a bug which suppressed any warning to other architectures that the kcmp syscall was not implemented. A patch to checksyscalls is being tested in linux-next and other architectures are seeing warnings about kcmp being unimplemented. This patch adds __NR_kcmp to so that kcmp is wired in for architectures using the generic syscall list. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to continue using pskb_may_pull(). So they could end up reading garbage. It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify the linear SKB data area. 2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...) Fixed by Eric Dumazet. 3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in place. From Andrei Emeltchenko. 5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in cfg80211, from Luis R. Rodriguez. 6) Fix interrupt double release in iwlwifi, from Emmanuel Grumbach. 7) Missing module license in bcm87xx driver, from Peter Huewe. 8) Team driver can lose port changed events when adding devices to a team, fix from Jiri Pirko. 9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie state, from Xiaodong Xu. 10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized. 11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but that doesn't program the device properly.

c/r: prctl: fix build error for no-MMU case

2012-09-25T15:59:21+00:00

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems: kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm': kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function) The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the {dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests"). This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".
