2009-05-02block: include empty disks in /proc/diskstatsTejun Heo1-0/+1
commit 71982a409f12c50d011325a4471aa20666bb908d upstream. /proc/diskstats used to show stats for all disks whether they're zero-sized or not and their non-zero partitions. Commit 074a7aca7afa6f230104e8e65eba3420263714a5 accidentally changed the behavior such that it doesn't print out zero sized disks. This patch implements DISK_PITER_INCL_EMPTY_PART0 flag to partition iterator and uses it in diskstats_show() such that empty part0 is shown in /proc/diskstats. Reported and bisectd by Dianel Collins.

2009-05-02add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn1-4/+19
upstream commit: 0ad30b8fd5fe798aae80df6344b415d8309342cc When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

2009-05-02sched: do not count frozen tasks toward loadNathan Lynch1-1/+2
upstream commit: e3c8ca8336707062f3f7cb1cd7e6b3c753baccdd Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in uninterruptible sleep (D state). Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose: the stopped tasks do not count toward system load. Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets users' expectations.

2009-05-02mm: define a UNIQUE value for AS_UNEVICTABLE flagLee Schermerhorn1-4/+8
upstream commit: 9a896c9a48ac6704c0ce8ee081b836644d0afe40 A new "address_space flag"--AS_MM_ALL_LOCKS--was defined to use the next available AS flag while the Unevictable LRU was under development. The Unevictable LRU was using the same flag and "no one" noticed. Current mainline, since 2.6.28, has same value for two symbolic flag names. So, define a unique flag value for AS_UNEVICTABLE--up close to the other flags, [at the cost of an additional #ifdef] so we'll notice next time. Note that #ifdef is not actually required, if we don't mind having the unused flag value defined. Replace #defines with an enum.

upstream commit: 1662e3a7f076e51e3073faf9ce77157b529c475b Apparently the Configuration and Interface strings aren't used as often as the Vendor, Product, and Serial strings. In at least one device (a Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D joystick), attempts to read the Configuration string cause the device to stop responding to Control requests. This patch (as1226) adds a quirks flag, telling the kernel not to read a device's Configuration or Interface strings, together with a new quirk for the offending joystick.

commit 76a67ec6fb79ff3570dcb5342142c16098299911 upstream. Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special privilege, Igor Zhbanov points out that it is surprising (to say the least) that a client can, for example, create a device node on a filesystem exported with root_squash. So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd thread handles a request from a non-root user. Reported-by: Igor Zhbanov <izh1979@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2009-03-17jbd2: Avoid possible NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate()Jan Kara1-1/+2
(cherry picked from commit 7f5aa215088b817add9c71914b83650bdd49f8a9) If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could possibly dereference it. Proper locking requires the journal pointer (to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have. So we have to change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the journal pointer. Also add a more detailed comment about why the function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and how it should be used.

2009-03-178250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan portMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+4
commit b6adea334c6c89d5e6c94f9196bbf3a279cb53bd upstream. Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

2009-03-17mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-3/+16
commit f2dbcfa738368c8a40d4a5f0b65dc9879577cb21 upstream. What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages() is triggering: BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)); Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations: if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) { printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: " "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n", start_page, end_page, zone); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n", page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n", page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n", page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page)); ... And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used. I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.

commit 8f19d472935c83d823fa4cf02bcc0a7b9952db30 upstream. Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the offset it passed to user space. In the case pread this assumption is broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread. To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to the offset user space wanted.

A current problem with the pid namespace is that it is easy to do pid related work after exit_task_namespaces which drops the nsproxy pointer. However if we are doing pid namespace related work we are always operating on some struct pid which retains the pid_namespace pointer of the pid namespace it was allocated in. So provide ns_of_pid which allows us to find the pid namespace a pid was allocated in. Using this we have the needed infrastructure to do pid namespace related work at anytime we have a struct pid, removing the chance of accidentally having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing current->nsproxy.

commit 6c5979631b4b03c9288776562c18036765e398c1 upstream. With the new system call defines we get this on uml: arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table': (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask' Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel. This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because of this. To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.

2009-02-12wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvationJohannes Weiner1-2/+9
commit 777c6c5f1f6e757ae49ecca2ed72d6b1f523c007 upstream. With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished. Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone will ever wake up the next waiter. This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by waking up the next waiter. Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise. It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it. Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and __wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake up through the queue.

2009-02-07kmalloc: return NULL instead of link failureJeff Mahoney1-8/+2
commit 1cf3eb2ff6b0844c678f2f48d0053b9d12b7da67 upstream. The SLAB kmalloc with a constant value isn't consistent with the other implementations because it bails out with __you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much rather than returning NULL and properly allowing the caller to fall back to vmalloc or take other action. This doesn't happen with a non-constant value or with SLOB or SLUB. Starting with 2.6.28, I've been seeing build failures on s390x. This is due to init_section_page_cgroup trying to allocate 2.5MB when the max size for a kmalloc on s390x is 2MB. It's failing because the value is constant. The workarounds at the call size are ugly and the caller shouldn't have to change behavior depending on what the backend of the API is. So, this patch eliminates the link failure and returns NULL like the other implementations.

commit 9df04e1f25effde823a600e755b51475d438f56b upstream. Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior.

2009-01-25fs: remove WB_SYNC_HOLDNick Piggin1-1/+0
commit 4f5a99d64c17470a784a6c68064207d82e3e74a5 upstream. Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD. The primary motiviation is the design of my anti-starvation code for fsync. It requires taking an inode lock over the sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple inodes. It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address. Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback. In order to satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it. It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose. But why complicate things by prematurely optimise? For unmounting, we could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but again premature IMO. Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next.

2009-01-25usb-storage: add last-sector hacksAlan Stern1-2/+3
commit 25ff1c316f6a763f1eefe7f8984b2d8c03888432 upstream. This patch (as1189c) adds some hacks to usb-storage for dealing with the growing problems involving bad capacity values and last-sector accesses: A new flag, US_FL_CAPACITY_OK, is created to indicate that the device is known to report its capacity correctly. An unusual_devs entry for Linux's own File-backed Storage Gadget is added with this flag set, since g_file_storage always reports the correct capacity and since the capacity need not be even (it is determined by the size of the backing file). An entry in unusual_devs.h which has only the CAPACITY_OK flag set shouldn't prejudice libusual, since the device will work perfectly well with either usb-storage or ub. So a new macro, COMPLIANT_DEV, is added to let libusual know about these entries. When a last-sector access fails three times in a row and neither the FIX_CAPACITY nor the CAPACITY_OK flag is set, we assume the last-sector bug is present. We replace the existing status and sense data with values that will cause the SCSI core to fail the access immediately rather than retry indefinitely. This should fix the difficulties people have been having with Nokia phones. This version of the patch differs from the version accepted into the mainline only in that it does not trigger a WARN() when an odd-numbered last-sector access succeeds. In a stable kernel series we don't want to go around spamming users' logs and consoles for no good reason.

2009-01-18mm lockless pagecache barrier fixNick Piggin1-1/+1
commit e8c82c2e23e3527e0c9dc195e432c16784d270fa upstream. An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in the gang lookup functions. This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup. Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.

2009-01-18System call wrapper infrastructureHeiko Carstens1-0/+62
commit 1a94bc34768e463a93cb3751819709ab0ea80a01 upstream. From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments. All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function has to perform sign extension probably need this.

commit e55380edf68796d75bf41391a781c68ee678587d upstream. This way it matches the generic system call name convention. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-01-18Convert all system calls to return a longHeiko Carstens1-40/+39
commit 2ed7c03ec17779afb4fcfa3b8c61df61bd4879ba upstream. Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't matter since the system call doesn't return.
