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. Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry. Reported-by:

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. Reported-by:

commit da085681 upstream. If futex_wait_requeue_pi() wakes prior to requeue, we drop the reference to the source futex_key twice, once in handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and once on our way out. Remove the drop from the handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and keep the get/drops together in futex_wait_requeue_pi(). Reported-by:

commit 24e35800 upstream. While 32-bit processes can't directly access R8...R15, they can gain access to these registers by temporarily switching themselves into 64-bit mode. Therefore, registers not preserved anyway by called C functions (i.e. R8...R11) must be cleared prior to returning to user mode. Signed-off-by:

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. Reported-by:

commit 392d814d upstream. Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a memory reference to the buffer itself. This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums). Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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:

commit 7aedd5ec upstream. Tested on MSI TV@nywhere Plus. Original commit message: ir-kbd-i2c's ir_probe() function can be called much later (i.e. at ir-kbd-i2c module load), than the lifetime of a struct IR_i2c_init_data allocated off of the stack in cx18_i2c_new_ir() at registration time. Make sure we pass a pointer to a persistent IR_i2c_init_data object at i2c registration time. Thanks to Brian Rogers, Dustin Mitchell, Andy Walls and Jean Delvare to rise this question. Before this patch, if ir-kbd-i2c were probed after SAA7134, trash data were used. Compile tested only, but the patch is identical to em28xx one. So, it should work properly. Original-patch-by:

commit c715089f upstream. During a page fault and rebinding the buffer there exists a window for a signal to arrive during the i915_wait_request() and trigger a ERESTARTSYS. This used to be handled by returning SIGBUS and thereby killing the application. Try 'cairo-perf-trace & cairo-test-suite' and watch X go boom! The solution as suggested by H. Peter Anvin is to simply return NOPAGE and leave the higher layers to spot we did not fill the page and resubmit the page fault. Signed-off-by:

commit 252c5f94 upstream. We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an 8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform. On the SLES11 kernel [2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm. The simple patch below causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau. But wait, there's more: We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core. This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and memories--a stochastic NUMA effect. The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform] with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels. With 31-rc6 on Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K jpm] than the unpatched kernel. Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er] contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the sbrk() system call. The patch: A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case for brk(). The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for this case. Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple. We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL "importer". The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock. However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma ['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we need to check for 'insert', as well. And Hugh points out that we should also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock). akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)" [hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk: test vma start too] Signed-off-by:

commit 1ac0cb5d upstream. do_anonymous_page() has been wrong to dirty the pte regardless. If it's not going to mark the pte writable, then it won't help to mark it dirty here, and clogs up memory with pages which will need swap instead of being thrown away. Especially wrong if no overcommit is chosen, and this vma is not yet VM_ACCOUNTed - we could exceed the limit and OOM despite no overcommit. Signed-off-by:

commit 408e82b7 upstream. Hiroaki Wakabayashi points out that when mlock() has been interrupted by SIGKILL, the subsequent munlock() takes unnecessarily long because its use of __get_user_pages() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() never reached. It's worse than slowness if mlock() is terminated by Out Of Memory kill: the munlock_vma_pages_all() in exit_mmap() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() could not find memory for; so innocent bystanders are killed too, and perhaps the system hangs. __get_user_pages() does a lot that's silly for munlock(): so remove the munlock option from __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and use a simple loop of follow_page()s in munlock_vma_pages_range() instead; ignoring absent pages, and not marking present pages as accessed or dirty. (Change munlock() to only go so far as mlock() reached? That does not work out, given the convention that mlock() claims complete success even when it has to give up early - in part so that an underlying file can be extended later, and those pages locked which earlier would give SIGBUS.)

commit 78986a67 upstream. After anti-fragmentation was merged, a bug was reported whereby devices that depended on high-order atomic allocations were failing. The solution was to preserve a property in the buddy allocator which tended to keep the minimum number of free pages in the zone at the lower physical addresses and contiguous. To preserve this property, MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced and a number of pageblocks at the start of a zone would be marked "reserve", the number of which depended on min_free_kbytes. Anti-fragmentation works by avoiding the mixing of page migratetypes within the same pageblock. One way of helping this is to increase min_free_kbytes because it becomes less like that it will be necessary to place pages of of MIGRATE_RESERVE is unbounded, the free memory is kept there in large contiguous blocks instead of helping anti-fragmentation as much as it should. With the page-allocator tracepoint patches applied, it was found during anti-fragmentation tests that the number of fragmentation-related events were far higher than expected even with min_free_kbytes at higher values. This patch limits the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks that exist per zone to two. For example, with a sufficient min_free_kbytes, 4MB of memory will be kept aside on an x86-64 and remain more or less free and contiguous for the systems uptime. This should be sufficient for devices depending on high-order atomic allocations while helping fragmentation control when min_free_kbytes is tuned appropriately. As side-effect of this patch is that the reserve variable is converted to int as unsigned long was the wrong type to use when ensuring that only the required number of reserve blocks are created. With the patches applied, fragmentation-related events as measured by the page allocator tracepoints were significantly reduced when running some fragmentation stress-tests on systems with min_free_kbytes tuned to a value appropriate for hugepage allocations at runtime. On x86, the events recorded were reduced by 99.8%, on x86-64 by 99.72% and on ppc64 by 99.83%. Signed-off-by:

Not upstream as it is fixed differently in .32 I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next node on failure to allocate a huge page. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman responded: I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in commit 63b4613c ["hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when allocation was successful. Andy Whitcroft countered that the existing behavior looked like Andi Kleen's original implementation and suggested that we ask him. We did and Andy replied that his intention was to interleave the allocations. So, ... This patch moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. This will unconditionally advance the next node from which to alloc, interleaving successful allocations over the nodes with sufficient contiguous memory, and skipping over nodes that fail the huge page allocation attempt. Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only be called for huge pages of order > MAX_ORDER. Signed-off-by:

commit 6682bb39 upstream. When there's a descriptor after the SuperSpeed endpoint companion descriptor, the previous code would have skipped over twice the length it was supposed to. This code fixes crashes seen with UASP devices (which have a UASP descriptor after the SS endpoint companion descriptor). Signed-off-by:

commit 624defa1 upstream. Interrupt transfers are submitted to the xHCI hardware using the same TRB type as bulk transfers. Re-use the bulk transfer enqueueing code to enqueue interrupt transfers. Interrupt transfers are a bit different than bulk transfers. When the interrupt endpoint is to be serviced, the xHC will consume (at most) one TD. A TD (comprised of sg list entries) can take several service intervals to transmit. The important thing for device drivers to note is that if they use the scatter gather interface to submit interrupt requests, they will not get data sent from two different scatter gather lists in the same service interval. For now, the xHCI driver will use the service interval from the endpoint's descriptor (bInterval). Drivers will need a hook to poll at a more frequent interval. Set urb->interval to the interval that the xHCI hardware will use. Signed-off-by:

commit 2f697f6c upstream. The xHCI hardware reports the number of bytes untransferred for a given transfer buffer. If the hardware reports a bytes untransferred value greater than the submitted buffer size, we want to play it safe and say no data was transferred. If the driver considers a short packet to be an error, remember to set -EREMOTEIO. Signed-off-by:

commit 99eb32db upstream. Make sure that the amount of data the xHC says was transmitted is less than or equal to the size of the requested transfer buffer. Before, if the host controller erroneously reported that the number of bytes untransferred was bigger than the buffer in the URB, urb->actual_length could be set to a very large size. Make sure urb->actual_length <= urb->transfer_buffer_length. Signed-off-by:

commit 9191eee7 upstream. On a successful transfer, urb->td is freed before the URB is ready to be given back to the driver. Don't touch urb->td after it's freed. This bug would have only shown up when xHCI debugging was turned on, and the freed memory was quickly reused for something else. Signed-off-by:

commit 83fbcdcc upstream. The 0.95 xHCI spec says that non-control endpoints will be halted if a babble is detected on a transfer. The 0.96 xHCI spec says all types of endpoints will be halted when a babble is detected. Some hardware that claims to be 0.95 compliant halts the control endpoint anyway. When a babble is detected on a control endpoint, check the hardware's output endpoint context to see if the endpoint is marked as halted. If the control endpoint is halted, a reset endpoint command must be issued and the transfer ring dequeue pointer needs to be moved past the stopped transfer. Basically, we treat it as if the control endpoint had stalled. Handle bulk babbling endpoints as if we got a completion event with a stall completion code. Signed-off-by:
