Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com> When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device. A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0. This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d "Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()". sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64. The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory. If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it. So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image. This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size(). The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here: http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/fastboot/2007-February/005983.htmlSigned-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Cc: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from being closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and multiple freeing of pages, etc. I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9. Haven't reproduced upstream but it looks like the same issue is there.

Always build ia64 xor.o because multiple config options now depend on it. Necessary to build .20-mm* on ia64 when, e.g., CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DMA is defined. Don't know if '_ASYNC_TX_DMA makes sense on ia64. If not, maybe Kconfig should preclude it. Could have defined a Kconfig option that defaults to true if MD_RAID456 || ASYNC_TX_DMA to control building of xor.o, but xor.o is only 848 bytes and this IS ia64...

Make saved_max_pfn point to max_pfn of entire system. Without this patch is so that vmcore is zero length on ia64. This is because saved_max_pfn was wrongly being set to the max_pfn of the crash kernel's address space, rather than the max_pfg on the physical memory of the machine - the whole purpose of vmcore is to access physical memory that is not part of the crash kernel's addresss space.

Provide a module param "pool_mode" for sunrpc.ko which allows a sysadmin to choose the mode for mapping NFS thread service pools to CPUs. Values are: auto choose a mapping mode heuristically global (default, same as the pre-2.6.19 code) a single global pool percpu one pool per CPU pernode one pool per NUMA node Note that since 2.6.19 the hardcoded behaviour has been "auto", this patch makes the default "global". The pool mode can be changed after boot/modprobe using /sys, if the NFS and lockd services have been shut down. A useful side effect of this change is to fix a small memory leak when unloading the module.

When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY. If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins. So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set and then calls svc_close_socket. Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use list_for_each_entry_safe.

The sunrpc server code needs to know the source and destination address for UDP packets so it can reply properly. It currently copies code out of the network stack to pick the pieces out of the skb. This is ugly and causes compile problems with the IPv6 stuff. So, rip that out and use recv_msg instead. This is a much cleaner interface, but has a slight cost in that the checksum is now checked before the copy, so we don't benefit from doing both at the same time. This can probably be fixed.
