The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then a gap to the next 4K page boundary. It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately, saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being too large. So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

The cell IOMMU code no longer needs to save the pte_offset variable separately, it is incorporated into tbl->it_offset. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Michael Ellerman authored
The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset. This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit of every DMA address. However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset at all. As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use it instead!

The bus management workqueue job was in danger to dereference NULL pointers. Also, after having temporarily lifted card->lock, a few node pointers and a device pointer may have become invalid.

Patch "firewire: fw-sbp2: fix NULL pointer deref. in scsi_remove_device" had the unintended effect that firewire-sbp2 could not be unloaded anymore until all SBP-2 devices were unplugged.

Hi, While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE (end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog. Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers. As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer pointing to the following byte sequence: 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e() to sign-extend the lower words. Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e() to unsigned int.

This patch fixes a potentially invalid access to a per-CPU variable in rcu_process_callbacks(). This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such an assumption.

avoid over-eager large page splitup. When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap) then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias regions even if we could avoid it. Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code a chance to keep large mappings intact. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
