2010-08-02firmware_class: fix memory leak - free allocated pagesDavid Woodhouse
commit dd336c554d8926c3348a2d5f2a5ef5597f6d1a06 upstream. fix memory leak introduced by the patch 6e03a201bbe: firmware: speed up request_firmware() 1. vfree won't release pages there were allocated explicitly and mapped using vmap. The memory has to be vunmap-ed and the pages needs to be freed explicitly 2. page array is moved into the 'struct firmware' so that we can free it from release_firmware() and not only in fw_dev_release() The fix doesn't break the firmware load speed.

2010-08-02ACPI: Unconditionally set SCI_EN on resumeMatthew Garrett
commit b6dacf63e9fb2e7a1369843d6cef332f76fca6a3 upstream. The ACPI spec tells us that the firmware will reenable SCI_EN on resume. Reality disagrees in some cases. The ACPI spec tells us that the only way to set SCI_EN is via an SMM call. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13745 shows us that doing so may break machines. Tracing the ACPI calls made by Windows shows that it unconditionally sets SCI_EN on resume with a direct register write, and therefore the overwhelming probability is that everything is fine with this behaviour.

2010-08-02ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHBen Hutchings
commit bf988435bd5b53529f4408a8efb1f433f6ddfda9 upstream. struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

2010-08-02ssb: Handle Netbook devices where the SPROM address is changedChristoph Fritz
For some Netbook computers with Broadcom BCM4312 wireless interfaces, the SPROM has been moved to a new location. When the ssb driver tries to read the old location, the systems hangs when trying to read a non-existent location. Such freezes are particularly bad as they do not log the failure.

2010-07-05tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at firstKOSAKI Motohiro
commit e9d6c157385e4efa61cb8293e425c9d8beba70d3 upstream. Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer. This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch! Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty unused tmpfs pages. Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons. 1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache. 2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages. But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize. (2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!) Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

2010-05-26revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commitsRobin Holt
commit 34441427aab4bdb3069a4ffcda69a99357abcb2e upstream. Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

2010-05-12libata: Fix accesses at LBA28 boundary (old bug, but nasty) (v2)Mark Lord
commit 45c4d015a92f72ec47acd0c7557abdc0c8a6499d upstream. Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands, do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1). So instead use LBA48 for such accesses. This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems, it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at 0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

2010-05-12hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pagesMel Gorman
commit 23be7468e8802a2ac1de6ee3eecb3ec7f14dc703 upstream. If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a page->mapping that will never exist. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details about the problem. This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is not on the LRU. This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

2010-04-26module: fix __module_ref_addr()Mathieu Desnoyers
The __module_ref_addr() problem disappears in 2.6.34-rc kernels because these percpu accesses were re-factored. __module_ref_addr() should use per_cpu_ptr() to obfuscate the pointer (RELOC_HIDE is needed for per cpu pointers). This non-standard per-cpu pointer use has been introduced by commit 720eba31f47aeade8ec130ca7f4353223c49170f It causes a NULL pointer exception on some configurations when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled on 2.6.33. This patch fixes the problem (acknowledged by Randy who reported the bug). It did not appear to hurt previously because most of the accesses were done through local_inc, which probably obfuscated the access enough that no compiler optimizations were done. But with local_read() done when CONFIG_TRACING is active, this becomes a problem. Non-CONFIG_TRACING is probably affected as well (module.c contains local_set and local_read that use __module_ref_addr()), but I guess nobody noticed because we've been lucky enough that the compiler did not generate the inappropriate optimization pattern there. This patch should be queued for the 2.6.29.x through 2.6.33.x stable branches.

commit 0df5dd4aae211edeeeb84f7f84f6d093406d7c22 upstream.

According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file (since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using delegated opens. The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.

2010-04-26raw: fsync method is now requiredAnton Blanchard
commit 55ab3a1ff843e3f0e24d2da44e71bffa5d853010 upstream. Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

2010-04-26Freezer: Fix buggy resume test for tasks frozen with cgroup freezerMatt Helsley
commit 5a7aadfe2fcb0f69e2acc1fbefe22a096e792fc9 upstream. When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates that the task should remain frozen. This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this transition before suspend. NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons: Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen. Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered. Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN.

[ Upstream commit 03e6d819c2cb2cc8ce5642669a0a7c72336ee7a2 ] The dma map fields in the skb_shared_info structure no longer has any users and can be dropped since it is making the skb_shared_info unecessarily larger. Running slabtop show that we were using 4K slabs for the skb->head on x86_64 w/ an allocation size of 1522. It turns out that the dma_head and dma_maps array made skb_shared large enough that we had crossed over the 2k boundary with standard frames and as such we were using 4k blocks of memory for all skbs.

2010-04-01tty: Take a 256 byte padding into account when buffering below sub-page unitsMel Gorman
commit 352fa6ad16b89f8ffd1a93b4419b1a8f2259feab upstream. The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of "TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find() rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on the size of the tty_buffer. This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc() should not require high-order allocations.

We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try so hard. In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room, which cannot itself enforce this break up.

2010-03-15skbuff: align sk_buff::cb to 64 bit and close some potential holesFelix Fietkau
commit da3f5cf1f8ebb0fab5c5fd09adb189166594ad6c upstream. The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-15tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5Jeff Mahoney
commit 86c38a31aa7f2dd6e74a262710bf8ebf7455acc5 upstream. GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes. For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array. When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer. This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures to 4 bytes. Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with gcc 4.5. It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

2010-03-15perf: Reimplement frequency driven samplingPeter Zijlstra
commit abd50713944c8ea9e0af5b7bffa0aacae21cc91a upstream. There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all() or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles. In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot. The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division. The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits fashion, taking care to balance the terms while truncating. This version does not generate that sampling artefact.

2010-03-15readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOMWu Fengguang
commit 0141450f66c3c12a3aaa869748caa64241885cdf upstream. This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance: a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads. In other places, ra_pages==0 means - it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs - some IO error happened where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the *heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully submit read IO for whatever application requests. So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO size is not limited by read_ahead_kb). In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall (NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!
