2007-05-01Fix possible NULL pointer access in 8250 serial driverTaku Izumi
I encountered the following kernel panic. The cause of this problem was NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c. I confirmed this problem is fixed by the attached patch, but I don't know this is the correct fix. sadc[4378]: NaT consumption 2216203124768 [1] Modules linked in: binfmt_misc dm_mirror dm_mod thermal processor fan container button sg e100 eepro100 mii ehci_hcd ohci_hcd Pid: 4378, CPU 0, comm: sadc psr : 00001210085a2010 ifs : 8000000000000289 ip : [<a000000100482071>] Not tainted ip is at check_modem_status+0xf1/0x360 unat: 0000000000000000 pfs : 0000000000000289 rsc : 0000000000000003 rnat: 800000000000cc18 bsps: 0000000000000000 pr : 0000000000aa6a99 ldrs: 0000000000000000 ccv : 0000000000000000 fpsr: 0009804c8a70033f csd : 0000000000000000 ssd : 0000000000000000 b0 : a000000100481fb0 b6 : a0000001004822e0 b7 : a000000100477f20 f6 : 1003e2222222222222222 f7 : 0ffdba200000000000000 f8 : 100018000000000000000 f9 : 10002a000000000000000 f10 : 0fffdccccccccc8c00000 f11 : 1003e0000000000000000 r1 : a000000100b9af40 r2 : 0000000000000008 r3 : a000000100ad4e21 r8 : 00000000000000bb r9 : 0000000000000001 r10 : 0000000000000000 r11 : a000000100ad4d58 r12 : e0000000037b7df0 r13 : e0000000037b0000 r14 : 0000000000000001 r15 : 0000000000000018 r16 : a000000100ad4d6c r17 : 0000000000000000 r18 : 0000000000000000 r19 : 0000000000000000 r20 : a00000010099bc88 r21 : 00000000000000bb r22 : 00000000000000bb r23 : c003fffffc0ff3fe r24 : c003fffffc000000 r25 : 00000000000ff3fe r26 : a0000001009b7ad0 r27 : 0000000000000001 r28 : a0000001009b7ad8 r29 : 0000000000000000 r30 : a0000001009b7ad0 r31 : a0000001009b7ad0 Call Trace: [<a000000100013940>] show_stack+0x40/0xa0 sp=e0000000037b7810 bsp=e0000000037b1118 [<a0000001000145a0>] show_regs+0x840/0x880 sp=e0000000037b79e0 bsp=e0000000037b10c0 [<a0000001000368e0>] die+0x1c0/0x2c0 sp=e0000000037b79e0 bsp=e0000000037b1078 [<a000000100036a30>] die_if_kernel+0x50/0x80 sp=e0000000037b7a00 bsp=e0000000037b1048 [<a000000100037c40>] ia64_fault+0x11e0/0x1300 sp=e0000000037b7a00 bsp=e0000000037b0fe8 [<a00000010000bdc0>] ia64_leave_kernel+0x0/0x280 sp=e0000000037b7c20 bsp=e0000000037b0fe8 [<a000000100482070>] check_modem_status+0xf0/0x360 sp=e0000000037b7df0 bsp=e0000000037b0fa0 [<a000000100482300>] serial8250_get_mctrl+0x20/0xa0 sp=e0000000037b7df0 bsp=e0000000037b0f80 [<a000000100478170>] uart_read_proc+0x250/0x860 sp=e0000000037b7df0 bsp=e0000000037b0ee0 [<a0000001001c16d0>] proc_file_read+0x1d0/0x4c0 sp=e0000000037b7e10 bsp=e0000000037b0e80 [<a0000001001394b0>] vfs_read+0x1b0/0x300 sp=e0000000037b7e20 bsp=e0000000037b0e30 [<a000000100139cd0>] sys_read+0x70/0xe0 sp=e0000000037b7e20 bsp=e0000000037b0db0 [<a00000010000bc20>] ia64_ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x20 sp=e0000000037b7e30 bsp=e0000000037b0db0 [<a000000000010620>] __kernel_syscall_via_break+0x0/0x20 sp=e0000000037b8000 bsp=e0000000037b0db0 Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.

3w-xxxx emulates a REQUEST_SENSE response by simply returning nothing. Unfortunately, it's assuming that the REQUEST_SENSE command is implemented with use_sg == 0, which is no longer the case. The oops occurs because it's clearing the scatterlist in request_buffer instead of the memory region. This is fixed by using tw_transfer_internal() to transfer correctly to the scatterlist.

2007-05-01Fix IRDA oops'erOlaf Kirch
This fixes and OOPS due to incorrect socket orpahning in the IRDA stack. [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix mmap_sem i_mutex deadlockHugh Dickins
sys_madvise has down_write of mmap_sem, then madvise_remove calls vmtruncate_range which takes i_mutex and i_alloc_sem: no, we can easily devise deadlocks from that ordering. madvise_remove drop mmap_sem while calling vmtruncate_range: luckily, since madvise_remove doesn't split or merge vmas, it's easy to handle this case with a NULL prev, without restructuring sys_madvise. (Though sad to retake mmap_sem when it's unlikely to be needed, and certainly down_read is sufficient for MADV_REMOVE, unlike the other madvices.)

2007-05-01holepunch: fix disconnected pages after second truncateHugh Dickins
shmem_truncate_range has its own truncate_inode_pages_range, to free any pages racily instantiated while it was in progress: a SHMEM_PAGEIN flag is set when this might have happened. But holepunching gets no chance to clear that flag at the start of vmtruncate_range, so it's always set (unless a truncate came just before), so holepunch almost always does this second truncate_inode_pages_range. shmem holepunch has unlikely swap<->file races hereabouts whatever we do (without a fuller rework than is fit for this release): I was going to skip the second truncate in the punch_hole case, but Miklos points out that would make holepunch correctness more vulnerable to swapoff. So keep the second truncate, but follow it by an unmap_mapping_range to eliminate the disconnected pages (freed from pagecache while still mapped in userspace) that it might have left behind.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix shmem_truncate_range punch lockingHugh Dickins
Miklos Szeredi observes that during truncation of shmem page directories, info->lock is released to improve latency (after lowering i_size and next_index to exclude races); but this is quite wrong for holepunching, which receives no such protection from i_size or next_index, and is left vulnerable to races with shmem_unuse, shmem_getpage and shmem_writepage. Hold info->lock throughout when holepunching? No, any user could prevent rescheduling for far too long. Instead take info->lock just when needed: in shmem_free_swp when removing the swap entries, and whenever removing a directory page from the level above. But so long as we remove before scanning, we can safely skip taking the lock at the lower levels, except at misaligned start and end of the hole.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix shmem_truncate_range punching too farHugh Dickins
Miklos Szeredi observes BUG_ON(!entry) in shmem_writepage() triggered in rare circumstances, because shmem_truncate_range() erroneously removes partially truncated directory pages at the end of the range: later reclaim on pages pointing to these removed directories triggers the BUG. Indeed, and it can also cause data loss beyond the hole. Fix this as in the patch proposed by Miklos, but distinguish between "limit" (how far we need to search: ignore truncation's next_index optimization in the holepunch case - if there are races it's more consistent to act on the whole range specified) and "upper_limit" (how far we can free directory pages: generally we must be careful to keep partially punched pages, but can relax at end of file - i_size being held stable by i_mutex).

2007-05-01KVM: MMU: Fix guest writes to nonpae pdeAvi Kivity
KVM shadow page tables are always in pae mode, regardless of the guest setting. This means that a guest pde (mapping 4MB of memory) is mapped to two shadow pdes (mapping 2MB each). When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it. We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the mmu did not account for the doubling in the number of pdes, it removed the wrong entry, resulting in a mismatch between shadow page tables and guest page tables, followed shortly by guest memory corruption. This patch fixes the problem by detecting the special case of writing to a non-pae pde and adjusting the address and number of shadow pdes zapped accordingly.

2007-05-01HID: zeroing of bytes in output fields is bogusJiri Kosina
HID: zeroing of bytes in output fields is bogus This patch removes bogus zeroing of unused bits in output reports, introduced in Simon's patch in commit d4ae650a. According to the specification, any sane device should not care about values of unused bits. What is worse, the zeroing is done in a way which is broken and might clear certain bits in output reports which are actually _used_ - a device that has multiple fields with one value of the size 1 bit each might serve as an example of why this is bogus - the second call of hid_output_report() would clear the first bit of report, which has already been set up previously. This patch will break LEDs on SpaceNavigator, because this device is broken and takes into account the bits which it shouldn't touch. The quirk for this particular device will be provided in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-05-01IB/mthca: Fix data corruption after FMR unmap on SinaiMichael S. Tsirkin
In mthca_arbel_fmr_unmap(), the high bits of the key are masked off. This gets rid of the effect of adjust_key(), which makes sure that bits 3 and 23 of the key are equal when the Sinai throughput optimization is enabled, and so it may happen that an FMR will end up with bits 3 and 23 in the key being different. This causes data corruption, because when enabling the throughput optimization, the driver promises the HCA firmware that bits 3 and 23 of all memory keys will always be equal. Fix by re-applying adjust_key() after masking the key. Thanks to Or Gerlitz for reproducing the problem, and Ariel Shahar for help in debug. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2007-04-13revert "retries in ext3_prepare_write() violate ordering requirements"Andrew Morton
Revert e92a4d595b464c4aae64be39ca61a9ffe9c8b278. Dmitry points out "When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage." and "Unexpected file size increasing." Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different. For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks , but fs has only one free block. ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048) retry: ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here. ->ext3_prepare_failure() ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :) if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries)) goto retry; Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't help here. We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put things back the way they were for now.

2007-04-13fix lba48 bug in libata fill_result_tf()Mark Lord
2.6.21 fix lba48 bug in libata fill_result_tf() Current 2.6.21 libata does the following: void ata_tf_read(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf) { struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr; tf->command = ata_check_status(ap); ... if (tf->flags & ATA_TFLAG_LBA48) { iowrite8(tf->ctl | ATA_HOB, ioaddr->ctl_addr); tf->hob_feature = ioread8(ioaddr->error_addr); ... } } ... static void fill_result_tf(struct ata_queued_cmd *qc) { struct ata_port *ap = qc->ap; ap->ops->tf_read(ap, &qc->result_tf); qc->result_tf.flags = qc->tf.flags; } Based on this, those last two statements fill_result_tf() appear to me to be in the wrong order, in that the tf->flags are uninitialized at the point where tf_read() is invoked. So for lba48 commands, tf_read() won't be reading back the full lba48 register contents.. Correct? This patch corrects fill_result_tf() so that the flags get copied to result_tf before they are used by tf_read().

2007-04-13ahci.c: walkaround for SB600 SATA internal error issueConke Hu
ahci.c: walkaround for SB600 SATA internal error issue There is a HW issue in ATI SB600 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be set on some conditions, for example, when there is no media in SATA CD/DVD drive or media is not ready, AHCI controller fails to execute ATAPI commands and reports PORT_IRQ_TF_ERR, but ATI SB600 SATA controller sets PxSERR.E at the same time, which is not necessary. This patch is just to ignore the INTERNAL ERROR in such case. Without this patch, ahci error handler will report many errors as below: ----------- cut from dmesg ----------- ata9: soft resetting port ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata9.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata9: EH complete ata9.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x800 action 0x2 ata9.00: (irq_stat 0x40000001) ata9.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 0 res 51/24:03:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x40 (internal error) ata9: soft resetting port ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata9.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata9: EH complete ata9.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x800 action 0x2 ata9.00: (irq_stat 0x40000001) ata9.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x43 data 12 in res 51/24:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x40 (internal error) -------- end cut --------- Signed-off-by: Conke Hu <conke.hu@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

[PATCH] softmac: avoid assert in ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate Unconfigured bcm43xx device can hit an assert() during wx_get_rate queries. This is because bcm43xx calls ieee80211softmac_start late (i.e. during open instead of probe). bcm43xx_net_open -> bcm43xx_init_board -> bcm43xx_select_wireless_core -> ieee80211softmac_start Fix is to check that device is running before completing ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate.

2007-04-13ide: use correct IDE error recoverySuleiman Souhlal
ide: use correct IDE error recovery IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set. This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLE IMMEDIATE when drive is not busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to recover using this error handling). The correct thing to do is issue a SRST followed by a SET FEATURES command. This is what Western Digital recommends for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does.  It also does not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell. Bart: * port the patch over the current tree * undo the recalibration code removal * send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status * don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK} type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests * some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are no pending drive->special requests * update comments and patch description * any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-) Signed-off-by: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2007-04-13Fix TCP slow_start_after_idle sysctlDavid Miller
[TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-13Fix scsi sense handlingDavid Miller
[SCSI]: Fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd scatterlist handling This fixes a regression caused by commit: 2dc611de5a3fd955cd0298c50691d4c05046db97 The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got. Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up in the sense buffer. Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers are on sparc64: default: printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name); __scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd); scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr); err = -EIO; This is the error Tom Callaway reported in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2 Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.
