scsi: Silence unnecessary warnings about ioctl to partition

2012-12-10T18:45:08+00:00

commit 6d9359280753d2955f86d6411047516a9431eb51 upstream. Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems when ioctl is refused. Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

i915: Quirk no_lvds on Gigabyte GA-D525TUD ITX motherboard

2012-12-10T18:45:08+00:00

commit a51d4ed01e5bb39d2cf36a12f9976ab08872c192 upstream. This board is incorrectly detected as having an LVDS connector, resulting in the VGA output (the only available output on the board) showing the console only in the top-left 1024x768 pixels, and an extra LVDS connector appearing in X. It's a desktop Mini-ITX board using an Atom D525 CPU with an NM10 chipset. I've had this board for about a year, but this is the first time I noticed the issue because I've been running it headless for most of its life.

route: release dst_entry.hh_cache when handling redirects

2012-12-10T18:45:08+00:00

Stable-3.0 commit 42ab5316 (ipv4: fix redirect handling) was backport of mainline commit 9cc20b26 from 3.2-rc3 where hh member of struct dst_entry was already gone. However, in 3.0 we still have it and we have to clean it as well, otherwise it keeps pointing to the cleaned up (and unusable) hh_cache entry and packets cannot be sent out.

Revert "sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"

2012-12-10T18:45:08+00:00

commit fd8ef11730f1d03d5d6555aa53126e9e34f52f12 upstream. This reverts commit 800d4d30c8f20bd728e5741a3b77c4859a613f7c. Between commits 8323f26ce342 ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and 800d4d30c8f2 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"), autogroup is a wreck. With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer dereference due to commit 800d4d30c8f2 not allowing autogroup to move things, and commit 8323f26ce342 making that the only way to switch runqueues: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Pid: 7047, comm: systemd-user-se Not tainted 3.6.8-smp #7 MEDIONPC MS-7502/MS-7502 RIP: effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Process systemd-user-se (pid: 7047, threadinfo ffff880221dde000, task ffff88022618b3a0) Call Trace: select_task_rq_fair+0x255/0x780 try_to_wake_up+0x156/0x2c0 wake_up_state+0xb/0x10 signal_wake_up+0x28/0x40 complete_signal+0x1d6/0x250 __send_signal+0x170/0x310 send_signal+0x40/0x80 do_send_sig_info+0x47/0x90 group_send_sig_info+0x4a/0x70 kill_pid_info+0x3a/0x60 sys_kill+0x97/0x1a0 ? vfs_read+0x120/0x160 ? sys_read+0x45/0x90 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 49 0f af 41 50 31 d2 49 f7 f0 48 83 f8 01 48 0f 46 c6 48 2b 07 48 8b bf 40 01 00 00 48 85 ff 74 3a 45 31 c0 48 8b 8f 50 01 00 00 <48> 8b 11 4c 8b 89 80 00 00 00 49 89 d2 48 01 d0 45 8b 59 58 4c RIP [] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 RSP CR2: 0000000000000000 Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Yong Zhang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit 783657a7dc20e5c0efbc9a09a9dd38e238a723da upstream. When we try to soft-offline a thp tail page, put_page() is called on the tail page unthinkingly and VM_BUG_ON is triggered in put_compound_page(). This patch splits thp before going into the main body of soft-offlining.

mm/vmemmap: fix wrong use of virt_to_page

commit ae64ffcac35de0db628ba9631edf8ff34c5cd7ac upstream. I enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, when doing memory hotremove, there is a kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:20. It is caused by free_section_usemap()->virt_to_page(), virt_to_page() is only used for kernel direct mapping address, but sparse-vmemmap uses vmemmap address, so it is going wrong here. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:20! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: acpihp_drv acpihp_slot edd cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave acpi_cpufreq mperf fuse vfat fat loop dm_mod coretemp kvm crc32c_intel ipv6 ixgbe igb iTCO_wdt i7core_edac edac_core pcspkr iTCO_vendor_support ioatdma microcode joydev sr_mod i2c_i801 dca lpc_ich mfd_core mdio tpm_tis i2c_core hid_generic tpm cdrom sg tpm_bios rtc_cmos button ext3 jbd mbcache usbhid hid uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore usb_common sd_mod crc_t10dif processor thermal_sys hwmon scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh_hp_sw scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh ata_generic ata_piix libata megaraid_sas scsi_mod CPU 39 Pid: 6454, comm: sh Not tainted 3.7.0-rc1-acpihp-final+ #45 QCI QSSC-S4R/QSSC-S4R RIP: 0010:[] [] __phys_addr+0x88/0x90 RSP: 0018:ffff8804440d7c08 EFLAGS: 00010006 RAX: 0000000000000006 RBX: ffffea0012000000 RCX: 000000000000002c ...
