2007-06-10libata-core/sff: Fix multiple assumptions about DMAAlan Cox1-0/+1
The ata IRQ ack functions are only used when debugging. Unfortunately almost every controller that calls them can cause crashes in some configurations as there are missing checks for bmdma presence. In addition ata_port_start insists of installing DMA buffers and pad buffers for controllers regardless. The SFF controllers actually need to make that decision dynamically at controller setup time and all need the same helper - so we add ata_sff_port_start. Future patches will switch the SFF drivers to use this. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-06-09hexdump: more output formattingRandy Dunlap1-4/+8
Add a prefix string parameter. Callers are responsible for any string length/alignment that they want to see in the output. I.e., callers should pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that. Add rowsize parameter. This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed per line. Must be 16 or 32. Add a groupsize parameter. This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers. Default is 1-byte numbers. If the total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are printed. Add an "ascii" output parameter. This causes ASCII data output following the hex data output. Clean up some doc examples. Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call. Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

2007-06-09pi-futex: fix exit races and locking problemsAlexey Kuznetsov1-0/+1
1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks. 2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious. 3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc. Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-) 4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK, when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension. I guess someone already saw this, the chunk: if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex)) ret = 0; is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid. I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi() and making all the work in context of process taking lock. From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding an additional state transition to the exit code. This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults is not able to release the futexes. Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH problem finally. Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access functions. This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state() Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi() Added some error checks for verification. The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

2007-06-09SLUB: return ZERO_SIZE_PTR for kmalloc(0)Christoph Lameter1-8/+17
Instead of returning the smallest available object return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. A ZERO_SIZE_PTR can be legitimately used as an object pointer as long as it is not deferenced. The dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR causes a distinctive fault. kfree can handle a ZERO_SIZE_PTR in the same way as NULL. This enables functions to use zero sized object. e.g. n = number of objects. objects = kmalloc(n * sizeof(object)); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) objects[i].x = y; kfree(objects); Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-06-08[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: fix compat related crashDmitry Mishin1-0/+20
check_compat_entry_size_and_hooks iterates over the matches and calls compat_check_calc_match, which loads the match and calculates the compat offsets, but unlike the non-compat version, doesn't call ->checkentry yet. On error however it calls cleanup_matches, which in turn calls ->destroy, which can result in crashes if the destroy function (validly) expects to only get called after the checkentry function. Add a compat_release_match function that only drops the module reference on error and rename compat_check_calc_match to compat_find_calc_match to reflect the fact that it doesn't call the checkentry function.

2007-06-08[IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config valuesHerbert Xu1-1/+5
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added (or rarely in ipmr). Therefore the default config values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

2007-06-08[IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_initHerbert Xu1-0/+3
Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's configuration. This creates a problem since we have moved the point where inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the device is registered. This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old behaviour while still calling inetdev_init. It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that have not had the corresponding attribute set. The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where inetdev_init was previously called. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-06-05libata: always use polling SETXFERTejun Heo1-1/+0
Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed because SETXFER fails. It seems the device raises IRQ too early after SETXFER. This is controller independent. The same problem has been reported for different controllers. So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing. This patch makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only place where SETXFER can be issued. Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement SFF TF interface and use libata HSM. More advanced controllers ignore the flag. This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are the problematic ones. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-05-30NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeoutsThomas Gleixner1-0/+6
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit value. When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for HZ=1000. In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

Currently try_to_freeze_tasks() has to wait until all of the vforked processes exit and for this reason every user can make it fail. To fix this problem we can introduce the additional process flag PF_FREEZER_SKIP to be used by tasks that do not want to be counted as freezable by the freezer and want to have TIF_FREEZE set nevertheless. Then, this flag can be set by tasks using sys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(&vfork) and cleared after they have woken up.

2007-05-24freezer: close potential race between refrigerator and thaw_tasksRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+10
If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator() before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is frozen. In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it. To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process(). Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending "freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.

2007-05-22V4L/DVB (5670): Adding new fields to v4l2_pix_format broke the ABI, reverted ↵Hans Verkuil1-2/+0
that change Reverted the change to struct v4l2_pix_format. I completely missed that this struct was used by existing ioctls so that changing it broke the ABI. I will have to think of another way of setting the top/left coordinates but for now this change is reverted to preserve compatibility.
