2011-04-10ldm: Silence "ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed" when booting ↵Nikanth Karthikesan1-1/+1
with "quiet" When the kernel does partition detection, on certain configurations with external fibre channel raid systems (e.g. clariion from EMC) the read would fail. And "ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed" messages are printed to the console. But the failure to read is not a critical error. Now since the message is flagged as KERN_CRIT, it gets printed even when booting with the "quiet" kernel parameter. Fix it by using KERN_INFO, as the failure to read here is not really an error.

2011-03-18fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2Josef Bacik1-0/+3
While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following denial type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc: denied { 0x800000 } for pid=1772 comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the security_d_instantiate. Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-03-18change the locking order for namespace_semAl Viro1-60/+73
Have it nested inside ->i_mutex. Instead of using follow_down() under namespace_sem, followed by grabbing i_mutex and checking that mountpoint to be is not dead, do the following: grab i_mutex check that it's not dead grab namespace_sem see if anything is mounted there if not, we've won otherwise drop locks put_path on what we had replace with what's mounted retry everything with new mountpoint to be New helper (lock_mount()) does that. do_add_mount(), do_move_mount(), do_loopback() and pivot_root() switched to it; in case of the last two that eliminates a race we used to have - original code didn't do follow_down().

2011-03-18x86: Flush TLB if PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE modeShaohua Li2-10/+4
According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is comment for this too in the code. But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue will be triggered. When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129915020508238&w=2 Reported-by: Yasunori Goto<y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Yasunori Goto<y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li<shaohua.li@intel.com> Cc: Mallick Asit K <asit.k.mallick@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm <linux-mm@kvack.org> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> LKML-Reference: <1300246649.2337.95.camel@sli10-conroe> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-03-18x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is availableNamhyung Kim9-30/+33
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

The user-supplied index into the adapters array needs to be checked, or an out-of-bounds kernel pointer could be accessed and used, leading to potentially exploitable memory corruption.
