- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value. - severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size) count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size; will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count); with obvious results (similar for ->write()). Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing normal limiting of count in ->write(). - gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there. - lots of gratuitous includes.

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems. May not be the long-term fix) Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We are currently reserving one byte more than actually needed by the flash device and overlapping into the next I/O expansion bus window. This a) causes us to allocate an extra page of VM due to ARM ioremap() alignment code and b) could cause problems if another driver tries to request the next expansion bus window.

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility.

I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel. It turns out gcc-4.0 was removing a sign extension while earlier gcc versions would not. Thinking this to be a compiler bug, I submitted a report: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422 It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend it.

At the suggestion of Nick Piggin and Dinakar, totally disable the facility to allow cpu_exclusive cpusets to define dynamic sched domains in Linux 2.6.13, in order to avoid problems first reported by John Hawkes (corrupt sched data structures and kernel oops). This has been built for ppc64, i386, ia64, x86_64, sparc, alpha. It has been built, booted and tested for cpuset functionality on an SN2 (ia64). Dinakar or Nick - could you verify that it for sure does avoid the problems Hawkes reported. Hawkes is out of town, and I don't have the recipe to reproduce what he found.

The partial disabling of Dinakar's new facility to allow cpu_exclusive cpusets to define dynamic sched domains doesn't go far enough. At the suggestion of Nick Piggin and Dinakar, let us instead totally disable this facility for 2.6.13, in order to avoid problems first reported by John Hawkes (corrupt sched data structures and kernel oops). This patch removes the partial disabling code in 2.6.13-rc7, in anticipation of the next patch, which will totally disable it instead.

Coverity uncovered an off-by-one error in the fscpos driver, in function set_temp_reset(). Writing to the temp3_reset sysfs file will lead to an array overrun, in turn causing an I2C write to a random register of the FSC Poseidon chip. Additionally, writing to temp1_reset and temp2_reset will not work as expected. The fix is straightforward.

spinlock used in irq handler should be initialized before registering irq, even if we know that our device has interrupts disabled; handler is registered shared and taking spinlock is done unconditionally.

The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in cifs. The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the server copy of the file). Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases. The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

There is an off by one problem with idr_get_new_above. The comment and function name suggest that it will return an id > starting_id, but it actually returned an id >= starting_id, and kernel callers other than inotify treated it as such. The patch below fixes the comment, and fixes inotifys usage. The function name still doesn't match the behaviour, but it never did.

Writing even a disabled value seems to mess up some matrox graphics cards. It may be a card-related issue, but we may also be writing reserved low bits in the result. This was a fall-out of switching x86 over to the generic PCI resource allocation code, and needs more debugging. In particular, the old x86 code defaulted to not doing any resource allocations at all for ROM resources. In the meantime, this has been reported to make X happier by Helge Hafting <helgehaf@aitel.hist.no>. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The tg3_abort_hw() call in tg3_test_loopback() is causing lockups on some devices. tg3_abort_hw() disables the memory arbiter, causing tg3_reset_hw() to hang when it tries to write the pre-reset signature. tg3_abort_hw() should only be called after the pre-reset signature has been written. This is all done in tg3_reset_hw() so the tg3_abort_hw() call is unnecessary and can be removed.

One critical fix and two minor fixes for 2.6.13-rc7: - Max depth must currently be 2 to allow barriers to function on SCSI - Prefer sync request over async in choosing the next request - Never allow async request to preempt or disturb the "anticipation" for a single cfq process context.

This patch puts back the export of machine_power_off() that was removed by some janitor as it's used for emergency shutdown by the G5 thermal control driver.

As reported by Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>, the previous patch "cpu_exclusive sched domains fix" broke the ppc64 build with CONFIC_CPUSET, yielding error messages: kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'update_cpu_domains': kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&' kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&' On some arch's, the node_to_cpumask() is a function, returning a cpumask_t. But the for_each_cpu_mask() requires an lvalue mask. The following patch fixes this build failure by making a copy of the cpumask_t on the stack.

This keeps the kernel/cpuset.c routine update_cpu_domains() from invoking the sched.c routine partition_sched_domains() if the cpuset in question doesn't fall on node boundaries. I have boot tested this on an SN2, and with the help of a couple of ad hoc printk's, determined that it does indeed avoid calling the partition_sched_domains() routine on partial nodes. I did not directly verify that this avoids setting up bogus sched domains or avoids the oops that Hawkes saw. This patch imposes a silent artificial constraint on which cpusets can be used to define dynamic sched domains. This patch should allow proceeding with this new feature in 2.6.13 for the configurations in which it is useful (node alligned sched domains) while avoiding trying to setup sched domains in the less useful cases that can cause the kernel corruption and oops.

i386 floating-point exception handling has a bug that can cause error code 0 to be sent instead of the proper code during signal delivery. This is caused by unconditionally checking the IS and c1 bits from the FPU status word when they are not always relevant. The IS bit tells whether an exception is a stack fault and is only relevant when the exception is IE (invalid operation.) The C1 bit determines whether a stack fault is overflow or underflow and is only relevant when IS and IE are set.
