Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a
given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance
of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to
simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to
become non-responsive shortly there after.

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>
When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when
compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later.
Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical
delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x
and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay.
But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes.
Use a real udelay() to fix this. Fix verified on SunBlade100.

throttle_vm_writeout() is designed to wait for the dirty levels to subside.
But if the caller holds IO or FS locks, we might be holding up that writeout.
So change it to take a single nap to give other devices a chance to clean some
memory, then return.

lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places
outside __init code. This causes following warnings:
$ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105)

WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2)
The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not
altered.
Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which
seems obviously wrong.

unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without
ensuring that the critical section is closed.
Mingming later sent the same patch, saying:
We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended
attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in
ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by
multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree.
The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the
lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update.
That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that
we have seen.
Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock
bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is
cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit
instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered.
The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1,
cpu 0: cpu1

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k.
Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which
uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we
have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we
cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h,
linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in
a C file as the only simple solution.

__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of
huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the
event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application
creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the
hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".
drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if
there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb
file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on
application.
Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed
up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.

This is a fix of regression, which triggered by ~2.6.16.
Patch with name ufs-directory-and-page-cache-from-blocks-to-pages.patch: in
additional to conversation from block to page cache mechanism added new
checks of directory integrity, one of them that directory entry do not
across directory chunks.
But some kinds of UFS: OpenStep UFS and Apple UFS (looks like these are the
same filesystems) have different directory chunk size, then common
UFSes(BSD and Solaris UFS).
So this patch adds ability to works with variable size of directory chunks,
and set it for ufstype=openstep to right size.
Tested on darwin ufs.

on a constant"
Revert "[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant"
This reverts commit 39d61db0edb34d60b83c5e0d62d0e906578cc707.
The commit was buggy in multiple ways:
- the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with
- it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd
never see the bug except for constant arguments.
- the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and
didn't even parenthesize them properly
- despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for
constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the
generic page.h header file.
All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to:
better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

The SMT scheduler incorrectly skips kernel threads even if they are
runnable (but they are preempted by a higher-prio user-space task which got
SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU).
Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the
to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task. (This should cover most of
the real-life cases anyway.)
This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only
been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code.

This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index.
When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then
pty_close() is called:
if (tty->driver->close)
tty->driver->close(tty, filp);
This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(),
being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed:
#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
if (tty->driver == ptm_driver)
devpts_pty_kill(tty->index);
#endif
But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for
&devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being
opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index:
driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index);
if (!driver) {
mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex);
return -ENODEV;
}
This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is
that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and
blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.
When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the
relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps
waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev().
Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty
is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track:
/* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */
if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) {
tty = devpts_get_tty(idx);
if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER)
tty = tty->link;
} else {
tty = driver->ttys[idx];
}
if (tty) goto fast_track;
The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns
sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume.
Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases
the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still
has it.
Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0,
because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls
release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last
slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0,
slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr
index.
This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a
customer's critical application, it's never too simple:
thread1: opens master, gets index X
thread1: begin closing master
thread2: begin opening slave with index X
thread1: finishes closing master, index X released
thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released
thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <----
thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use
and healthy tty and fails
If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the
first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because
you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid.
The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail
imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's
safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev()
won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex.
Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings
like this one:
idr_remove called for id=15 which is not allocated.

configured. This patch disables MSI-X until the issue is root caused.

[IPV6]: /proc/net/anycast6 unbalanced inet6_dev refcnt
From: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com>
Reading /proc/net/anycast6 when there is no anycast address
on an interface results in an ever-increasing inet6_dev reference
count, as well as a reference to the netdevice you can't get rid of.

[IPV6]: anycast refcnt fix
This patch fixes a bug in Linux IPv6 stack which caused anycast address
to be added to a device prior DAD has been completed. This led to
incorrect reference count which resulted in infinite wait for
unregister_netdevice completion on interface removal.

[SPARC64]: Fix PCI interrupts on E450 et al.
When the PCI controller OBP node lacks an interrupt-map
and interrupt-map-mask property, we need to form the
INO by hand. The PCI swizzle logic was not doing that
properly.
This was a regression added by the of_device code.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.
The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in
this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.
[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.

mmc: Power quirk for ENE controllers
Support for these devices was broken for 2.6.18-rc1 and later by commit
146ad66eac836c0b976c98f428d73e1f6a75270d, which added voltage level support.
This restores the previous behaviour for these devices by ensuring that when
the voltage is changed, only one write to set the voltage is performed.
It may be that both writes are needed if the voltage is being changed between
two non-zero values or that it's safe to ensure that only one write is done
if the hardware only supports one voltage; I don't know whether either is the
case nor can I test since I have only the one SD reader (1524:0550), and it
supports just the one voltage.

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken
interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used
elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the
actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be
reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching
between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the
inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array
had enough room.
maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on
a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous
contents were lost.
This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count
and to ensure that the proper elements are resent.
This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support
SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The
result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor
sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2
or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by
a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.
This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.
We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).
Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.
