The attached patch makes sure that a keyring that failed to instantiate properly is destroyed without oopsing [CAN-2005-2099]. The problem occurs in three stages: (1) The key allocator initialises the type-specific data to all zeroes. In the case of a keyring, this will become a link in the keyring name list when the keyring is instantiated. (2) If a user (any user) attempts to add a keyring with anything other than an empty payload, the keyring instantiation function will fail with an error and won't add the keyring to the name list. (3) The keyring's destructor then sees that the keyring has a description (name) and tries to remove the keyring from the name list, which oopses because the link pointers are both zero. This bug permits any user to take down a box trivially.

The attached patch prevents an error during the key session joining operation from hanging future joins in the D state [CAN-2005-2098]. The problem is that the error handling path for the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation has one error path that doesn't release the session management semaphore. Further attempts to get the semaphore will then sleep for ever in the D state. This can happen in four situations, all involving an attempt to allocate a new session keyring: (1) ENOMEM. (2) The users key quota being reached. (3) A keyring name that is an empty string. (4) A keyring name that is too long. Any user may attempt this operation, and so any user can cause the problem to occur.

The kexec boot is not successful on some power machines since all CPUs are getting removed from global interrupt queue (GIQ) before kexec boot. Some systems always expect at least one CPU in GIQ. Hence, this patch will make sure that only secondary CPUs are removed from GIQ.

The recent change to never ignore the bitmap, revealed that the bitmap isn't begin flushed properly when an array is stopped. We call bitmap_daemon_work three times as there is a three-stage pipeline for flushing updates to the bitmap file.

Firstly, R1BIO_Degraded was being set in a number of places in the resync code, but is never used there, so get rid of those settings. Then: When doing a resync, we want to clear the bit in the bitmap iff the array will be non-degraded when the sync has completed. However the current code would clear the bitmap if the array was non-degraded when the resync *started*, which obviously isn't right (it is for 'resync' but not for 'recovery' - i.e. rebuilding a failed drive). This patch calculated 'still_degraded' and uses the to tell bitmap_start_sync whether this sync should clear the corresponding bit.

The code currently will ignore the bitmap if the array seem to be in-sync. This is wrong if the array is degraded, and probably wrong anyway. If the bitmap says some chunks are not in in-sync, and the superblock says everything IS in sync, then something is clearly wrong, and it is safer to trust the bitmap.

Until the bitmap code was added, modprobe md would load the md module. But now the md module is called 'md-mod', so we really need an alias for backwards comparability.

no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets (like some VIA) with these behaviors: 1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force it to 0, to reenable (not recommended). 2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c Thanks to Bodo Eggert <7eggert@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@brturbo.com.br> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

CONFIG_KEXEC breaks UP builds because of a misspelled smp_release_cpus(). Also, the function isn't defined unless built with CONFIG_SMP but it is needed if we are to go from a UP to SMP kernel.

Several people noticed we dropped quite a bit on benchmark figures. OK, it was my fault but unfortunately I discovered I ran out of brown paper bags a while ago and forgot to reorder them. The issue is that a construct introduced in the conversion of the driver to use the transport class keyed off whether the block request was tagged or not. However, the aic7xxx driver doesn't properly set up the block layer TCQ (it uses the wrong API), so the driver now things all requests are untagged and we keep it to a queue depth of a single element. Oops. The fix is to use the correct TCQ API. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

This fixes five bugs in the key management syscall interface: (1) add_key() returns 0 rather than EINVAL if the key type is "". Checking the key type isn't "" should be left to lookup_user_key(). (2) request_key() returns ENOKEY rather than EPERM if the key type begins with a ".". lookup_user_key() can't do this because internal key types begin with a ".". (3) Key revocation always returns 0, even if it fails. (4) Key read can return EAGAIN rather than EACCES under some circumstances. A key is permitted to by read by a process if it doesn't grant read access, but it does grant search access and it is in the process's keyrings. That search returns EAGAIN if it fails, and this needs translating to EACCES. (5) request_key() never adds the new key to the destination keyring if one is supplied. The wrong macro was being used to test for an error condition: PTR_ERR() will always return true, whether or not there's an error; this should've been IS_ERR().

This removes the calls to device_suspend() from the shutdown path that were added sometime during 2.6.13-rc*. They aren't working properly on a number of configs (I got reports from both ppc powerbook users and x86 users) causing the system to not shutdown anymore. I think it isn't the right approach at the moment anyway. We have already a shutdown() callback for the drivers that actually care about shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be so much generalized. Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are slightly different on a number of setups and the way this was patched in provides little way for drivers to cleanly differenciate. It should have been at least a different message. For 2.6.13, I think we should revert to 2.6.12 behaviour and have a working suspend back.

Ian Campbell authored
Patch from Ian Campbell On PXA255 there is no way to disable the watchdog. Turning off OIER[E3] as suggested in the existing comment does not work. I posted a note to the ARM mailing list a little while ago asking for opinions from people using SA1100. There was one reponse from Nico who believes that the SA1100 is the same as the PXA255 in this respect. You also asked me to involve the watchdog maintainer which I tried to do but didn't hear anything back. There are only a couple of other drivers which can't stop the watchdog and there seems to be no consistancy regarding printing an error etc. I decided to print something since that matches the case for all the other drivers when NOWAYOUT is turned on. Also, I changed the device .name to "watchdog" like most of the other watchdogs. udev uses it as the device name (by default) and spaces etc. get in the way. Superceded 2833/1 because 2.6.13-rc4 caused rejects. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <icampbell@arcom.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
