When the ioprio code recently got juggled a bit, a bug was introduced. changed_ioprio() is no longer called with interrupts disabled, so using plain spin_lock() on the queue_lock is a bug. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

If cfq_set_request() is called for a new process AND a non-fs io request (so that __GFP_WAIT may not be set), cfq_cic_link() may use spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq() with interrupts already disabled. Fix is to always use irq safe locking in cfq_cic_link() Acked-By: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This reverts commit a2b98a69. As per Guennadi Liakhovetski, the mac address change support code breaks some normal uses (_without_ any address changes), and until it's all sorted out, we're better off without it. Says Francois: "Go revert it. Despite what I claimed, I can not find a third-party confirmation by email that it works elsewhere. It would probably be enough to remove the call to __rtl8169_set_mac_addr() in rtl8169_hw_start() though."

As reported by Martin J. Bligh <mbligh@google.com>, we let through some non-slab bits to slab allocation through __get_vm_area_node when doing a vmalloc. I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it happens: vmalloc allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM and commit 52fd24ca resulted in the same flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG. The following patch fixes it. Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO). IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Giridhar Pemmasani (pgiri@yahoo.com) Cc: Martin J.

The PXA2xx PCMCIA driver was registering a device_driver with the platform_bus_type. Unfortunately, this causes data outside the device_driver structure to be dereferenced as if it were a platform_driver structure, causing an oops.

Mel Gorman authored
absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory". However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong. The bug is in mainline but a patch is below. It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures. Additional credit to Keith Mannthey for discovering the problem, helping identify the correct fix and confirming it Worked For Him.

fill_tgid() should skip not only an already exited group leader. If the task has ->exit_state != 0 it already did exit_notify(), so it also did fill_tgid_exit()->delayacct_add_tsk(->signal->stats) and we should skip it to avoid a double accounting. This patch doesn't close the race completely, but it cleanups the code.

Remove tasklist_lock from taskstats.c. find_task_by_pid() is rcu-safe. ->siglock allows us to traverse subthread without tasklist. Q: delay accounting looks wrong to me. If sub-thread has already called taskstats_exit_send() but didn't call release_task(self) yet it will be accounted twice. The window is big. No?

taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong. IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD) We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it, it probably has a valid accumulated info. ELSE taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL, there is nothing to free. Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be released ->signal.

1. ts = timespec_sub(uptime, current->group_leader->start_time); It is possible that current != tsk. Probably it was supposed to be 'tsk->group_leader->start_time. But why we are reading group_leader's start_time ? This accounting is per thread, not per procees, I changed this to 'tsk->start_time. Please corect me. 2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0; tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it. Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB). (And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact). Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check. Why it is needed ?

1. fill_tgid() forgets to do put_task_struct(first). 2. release_task(first) can happen after fill_tgid() drops tasklist_lock, it is unsafe to dereference first->signal.

On the the following patch: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@449b144ecSF1rYskg3q-SeR2vf88zg # ChangeSet # 2006/06/22 15:05:57-07:00 neilb@suse.de # [PATCH] Fix dcache race during umount # If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it # is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other # thread will be removing that dentry soon. However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it into the list again. Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache() and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the partition will be unmounted. The patch adds this dentry into tail of the dentry_unused list.

hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be absurdly sparse). At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't overflow. As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).
