[XFRM]: Fix leak of expired xfrm_states [ Upstream commit: 5dba4797 ] The xfrm_timer calls __xfrm_state_delete, which drops the final reference manually without triggering destruction of the state. Change it to use xfrm_state_put to add the state to the gc list when we're dropping the last reference. The timer function may still continue to use the state safely since the final destruction does a del_timer_sync(). Signed-off-by:

patch 459ad688 in mainline. Spurious NCQ completion detection implemented in ahci was incorrect. On AHCI receving and processing FISes and raising interrupts are not interlocked and spurious interrupts are expected. For example, if an interrupt occurs while interrupt handler is running and the running interrupt handler handles the event the new IRQ indicated, after IRQ handler finishes, it will be executed again because IRQ pending bit is set by the new interrupt but there won't be anything to process. Please read the following message for more information. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/26012 This patch... * Removes all spurious IRQ whining from ahci. Spurious NCQ completion detection was completely wrong. Spurious D2H Register FIS taught us that some early drives send spurious D2H Register FIS with I bit set while NCQ commands are in progress but none of recent drives does that and even the ones which show such behavior can do NCQ fine. * Kills all NCQ blacklist entries which were added because of spurious NCQ completions. I tracked down each commit and verified all removed ones are actually added because of spurious completions. WD740ADFD-00NLR1 wasn't deleted but moved upward because the drive not only had spurious NCQ completions but also is slow on sequential data transfers if NCQ is enabled. Maxtor 7V300F0 was added by 0e3dbc01 from Alan Cox. I can only find evidences that the drive only had troubles with spuruious completions by searching the mailing list. This entry needs to be verified and removed if it doesn't have other NCQ related problems. Signed-off-by:

[UNIX]: EOF on non-blocking SOCK_SEQPACKET [ Upstream commit: 0a112258 ] I am not absolutely sure whether this actually is a bug (as in: I've got no clue what the standards say or what other implementations do), but at least I was pretty surprised when I noticed that a recv() on a non-blocking unix domain socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (which is connection oriented, after all) where the remote end has closed the connection returned -1 (EAGAIN) rather than 0 to indicate end of file. This is a test case: | #include <sys/types.h> | #include <unistd.h> | #include <sys/socket.h> | #include <sys/un.h> | #include <fcntl.h> | #include <string.h> | #include <stdlib.h> | | int main(){ | int sock; | struct sockaddr_un addr; | char buf[4096]; | int pfds[2]; | | pipe(pfds); | sock=socket(PF_UNIX,SOCK_SEQPACKET,0); | addr.sun_family=AF_UNIX; | strcpy(addr.sun_path,"/tmp/foobar_testsock"); | bind(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&addr,sizeof(addr)); | listen(sock,1); | if(fork()){ | close(sock); | sock=socket(PF_UNIX,SOCK_SEQPACKET,0); | connect(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&addr,sizeof(addr)); | fcntl(sock,F_SETFL,fcntl(sock,F_GETFL)|O_NONBLOCK); | close(pfds[1]); | read(pfds[0],buf,sizeof(buf)); | recv(sock,buf,sizeof(buf),0); // <-- this one | }else accept(sock,NULL,NULL); | exit(0); | } If you try it, make sure /tmp/foobar_testsock doesn't exist. The marked recv() returns -1 (EAGAIN) on 2.6.23.9. Below you find a patch that fixes that. Signed-off-by:

[IPV6]: Restore IPv6 when MTU is big enough [ Upstream commit: d31c7b8f ] Avaid provided test application, so bug got fixed. IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu changes and new value is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU (1280 bytes). When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU, it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac. This patch fixes that. Tested with Avaid's application, which works ok now.

[TCP]: Fix TCP header misalignment [ Upstream commit: 21df56c6 ] Indeed my previous change to alloc_pskb has made it possible for the TCP header to be misaligned iff the MTU is not a multiple of 4 (and less than a page). So I suspect the optimised IPsec MTU calculation is giving you just such an MTU :) This patch fixes it by changing alloc_pskb to make sure that the size is at least 32-bit aligned. This does not cause the problem fixed by the previous patch because max_header is always 32-bit aligned which means that in the SG/NOTSO case this will be a no-op. I thought about putting this in the callers but all the current callers are from TCP. If and when we get a non-TCP caller we can always create a TCP wrapper for this function and move the alignment over there. Signed-off-by:

[TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control function [ Upstream commit: 5487796f ] sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP congestion control algorithm. This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17. sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated. Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error. Signed-off-by:

[NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target. Upstream commit 1f305323 When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and thus not required to be copied. Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced. Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>. [ Patrick McHardy states: I now understand whats happening: - new connection is allocated without helper - connection is REDIRECTed to localhost - nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet - nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension, causing reallocation because of too little space - nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :) ] Signed-off-by:

patch 522939d4 in mainline. The esp_reset_cleanup() function is called with the host lock held and invokes starget_for_each_device() which wants to take it too. Here is a fix along the lines of shost_for_each_device()/__shost_for_each_device() adding a __starget_for_each_device() counterpart which assumes the lock has already been taken. Eventually, I think the driver should get modified so that more work is done as a softirq rather than in the interrupt context, but for now it fixes a bug that causes the spinlock debugger to fire. While at it, it fixes a small number of cosmetic problems with starget_for_each_device() too. Signed-off-by:

patch b64d7082 in mainline. The code in fb_ddc_read() is said to be based on the implementation of the radeon driver: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fc5891c8a3ba284f13994d7bc1f1bfa8283982de However, comparing the old radeon driver code with the new fb_ddc code reveals some differences. Most notably, the I2C bus lines are held at the end of the function, while the original code was releasing them (as the comment above correctly says.) There are a few other differences, which appear to be responsible for read failures on my system. While tracing low-level I2C code in i2c-algo-bit, I noticed that the initial attempt to read the EDID always failed. It takes one retry for the read to succeed. As we are about to remove this automatic retry property from i2c-algo-bit, reading the EDID would really fail. As a summary, the I2C lines quirk which is supposedly needed to read EDID on some older monitors is currently breaking the (first) read on all other monitors (and might not even work with older ones - did anyone try since October 2006?) After applying the patch below, which makes the code in fb_ddc_read() really similar to what the radeon driver used to have, the first EDID read succeeds again. On top of that, as it appears that this code has been broken for one year now and nobody seems to have complained, I'm curious if it makes sense to keep this quirk in place. It makes the code more complex and slower just for the sake of monitors which I guess nobody uses anymore. Can't we just get rid of it? Signed-off-by:

From Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> patch ce6bd420 in mainline. David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git from mainline, I found the bug was there too. The bug he was seeing that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is, the timer would go off early. Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather nasty bug at that. Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file) [...] smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val3) { struct timespec ts; ktime_t t, *tp = NULL; u32 val2 = 0; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) { if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0) return -EFAULT; if (!timespec_valid(&ts)) return -EINVAL; t = timespec_to_ktime(ts); if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT) t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t); tp = &t; } [...] return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3); } [...] long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3) { int ret; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG)) fshared = ¤t->mm->mmap_sem; switch (cmd) { case FUTEX_WAIT: ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout); [...] static int futex_wait(u32 __user *uaddr, struct rw_semaphore *fshared, u32 val, ktime_t *abs_time) { [...] struct restart_block *restart; restart = ¤t_thread_info()->restart_block; restart->fn = futex_wait_restart; restart->arg0 = (unsigned long)uaddr; restart->arg1 = (unsigned long)val; restart->arg2 = (unsigned long)abs_time; restart->arg3 = 0; if (fshared) restart->arg3 |= ARG3_SHARED; return -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK; [...] static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart) { u32 __user *uaddr = (u32 __user *)restart->arg0; u32 val = (u32)restart->arg1; ktime_t *abs_time = (ktime_t *)restart->arg2; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall; if (restart->arg3 & ARG3_SHARED) fshared = ¤t->mm->mmap_sem; return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, abs_time); } So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK. The bug here is that we save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t" from sys_futex. This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem where abs_time is no longer valid. I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart. The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds) was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to use the restart with specific parameters. This way the futex code now saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing it on the stack. Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64 in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that. Not sure what that is there for. If this turns out to be a problem, I've tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be consistent with what the futex code uses. Signed-off-by:
