[ Upstream commit 8ba69ba6 ] Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that: "..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux 2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think the first one) returned the file descriptor." This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f. And the reason is, quoting Kalle: "Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations, it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now, unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file descriptors to each struct sk_buff." Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

[ Upstream commit 81bbb3d4 ] Since commit 9b22ea56 ( net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler ) We lost rx timestamping of packets received on accelerated vlans. Effect is that tcpdump on real dev can show strange timings, since it gets rx timestamps too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time) 14:47:26.986871 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 1 14:47:26.986786 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 1 14:47:27.986888 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 2 14:47:27.986781 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 2 14:47:28.986896 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 3 14:47:28.986780 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 3 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 14f03343 upstream. The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example "thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list). I propose to reword the message to: ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome. I also added a message warning about possible problems and system instability when users pass acpi_enforce_resources=lax, as suggested by Len.

Resolved differently upstream in commit 8cab02dc Ondrej Zary reported a suspend/resume hang with 2.6.31 in bug #14222. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14222 The hang was bisected to c7121843 however, that was really just the last straw that caused the issue. The problem was that on suspend, the PIT is removed as a clocksource, and was using the mult value essentially as a is_enabled() flag. The mult adjustments done in the commit above caused that usage to break, causing bad list manipulation and the oops. Further, on resume, the PIT clocksource is never restored, causing the system to run in a degraded mode with jiffies as the clocksource. This issue has since been resolved in 2.6.32-rc by commit 8cab02dc which removes the clocksource disabling on suspend. Testing shows no issues there. So the following patch rectifies the situation for 2.6.31 users of the PIT clocksource that use suspend and resume (which is probably not that many). Many thanks to Ondrej for helping narrow down what was happening, what caused it, and verifying the fix. --------------- Avoid using the unprotected clocksource.mult value as an "is_registered" flag, instead us an explicit flag variable. This avoids possible list corruption if the clocksource is double-unregistered. Also re-register the PIT clocksource on resume so folks don't have to use jiffies after suspend.

commit e13ee546 upstream. Clear prefetch setting before potentially (re-)enabling it in config_drive_art_rwp() so the transition of the device type on the port from ATA to ATAPI (i.e. during warm-plug operation) is handled correctly. This is a really old bug (it probably goes back to very early days of the driver) but it was only affecting warm-plug operation until the recent "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible" change (commit 60293364).

commit 31a56396 upstream. After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"), read_swap_cache_async() will busy-wait while a entry doesn't exist in swap cache but it has SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag. Such entries can exist on add/delete path of swap cache. On add path, add_to_swap_cache() is called soon after SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is set, and on delete path, swapcache_free() will be called (SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is cleared) soon after __delete_from_swap_cache() is called. So, the busy-wait works well in most cases. But this mechanism can cause soft lockup if add_to_swap_cache() sleeps and read_swap_cache_async() tries to swap-in the same entry on the same cpu. This patch calls radix_tree_preload() before swapcache_prepare() and divides add_to_swap_cache() into two part: radix_tree_preload() part and radix_tree_insert() part(define it as __add_to_swap_cache()).

commit 2fb930b5 upstream. The "VIA DXS" controls are actually volume controls that apply to the four PCM substreams, so we better indicate this connection by moving the controls to the PCM interface. Commit b452e08e in 2.6.30 broke the restoring of these volumes by "alsactl restore" that most distributions use; the renaming in this patch cures that regression by preventing alsactl from applying the old, wrong volume levels to the new controls. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14151 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532613Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 3b761d3d upstream. While trying to work around spurious detection retries for non-existent devices on slave links, commit 816ab897 incorrectly added link offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called. This means that if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device. The offline check should be done after the port is thawed together with online check so that such link glitches can be detected by the interrupt handler and handled properly.

commit fdc6f192 upstream. Commit f2e21c96 had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case.

commit eaaea803 upstream. Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288 It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the error handling path and retries without locking them again which makes the next unlock fail.

commit fc6b177d upstream. The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to deal with it anyway. Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been called.

commit 0b5759c6 upstream. A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c, tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away during the tty hangup. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255 and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a deadlock with vhangup_work. However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by - using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any random outstanding pending work. This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers. - realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves. so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.

commit 415e4993 upstream. For devices using OTP memory, EEPROM image can start from any one of the OTP blocks. If shadow RAM is disabled, we need to traverse link list to find the last valid block, then start the EEPROM image reading. If OTP is not full, the valid block is the block _before_ the last block on the link list; the last block on the link list is the empty block ready for next OTP refresh/update. If OTP is full, then the last block is the valid block to be used for configure the device.

commit 645d83c5 upstream. Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of files and devices where the data in the backing store might be mapped directly. Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly. This can be used to determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private(). The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if there's any reason we can't use it. It's also cleared in do_mmap_pgoff() if f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails. Without this fix, attempting to run a program from a RomFS image on a non-mappable MTD partition results in a BUG as the kernel attempts XIP, and this can be caught in gdb: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 (gdb) bt #0 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 #1 0xc005f168 in do_mmap_pgoff (file=0xc31a6620, addr=<value optimized out>, len=3808, prot=3, flags=6146, pgoff=0) at mm/nommu.c:1373 #2 0xc00a96b8 in elf_fdpic_map_file (params=0xc33fbbec, file=0xc31a6620, mm=0xc31bef60, what=0xc0213144 "executable") at mm.h:1145 #3 0xc00aa8b4 in load_elf_fdpic_binary (bprm=0xc316cb00, regs=<value optimized out>) at fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c:343 #4 0xc006b588 in search_binary_handler (bprm=0x6, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1234 #5 0xc006c648 in do_execve (filename=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1356 #6 0xc0008cf0 in sys_execve (name=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460) at arch/frv/kernel/process.c:263 #7 0xc00075dc in __syscall_call () at arch/frv/kernel/entry.S:897 Note that this fix does the following commit differently: commit a190887b Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Date: Sat Sep 5 11:17:07 2009 -0700 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff() Reported-by: Graff Yang <graff.yang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Greg Ungerer <gerg@snapgear.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit c55b89fb upstream. This patch is solving problem for PAE kernel DMA operation. On PAE system dma_addr and unsigned long will have different values. Now dma_addr is not type casted using unsigned long.
