commit 051b982b upstream. kaweth_control() never frees the buffer that it allocates for the USB control message. Test case: while :; do ifconfig eth2 down ; ifconfig eth2 up ; done This is a tiny buffer so it is a slow leak. If you want to speed up the process, you can change the allocation size to e.g. 16384 bytes, and it will consume several megabytes within a few minutes. Signed-off-by:

commit 23af51ec upstream. The M29W128G Numonyx flash devices are intolerant to any 0xFF command: in the Cfi_util.c the function cfi_qry_mode_off() (that resets the device after the autoselect mode) must have a 0xF0 command after the 0xFF command. This fix solves also the cause of the fixup_M29W128G_write_buffer() fix, that can be removed now. The following patch applies to 2.6.30 kernel. Signed-off-by:

commit 76c23c32 upstream. Fix ECC Correction bug where the byte offset location were double fliped causing correction routine to toggle the wrong byte location in the ECC segment. The ndfc_calculate_ecc routine change the order of getting the ECC code. /* The NDFC uses Smart Media (SMC) bytes order */ ecc_code[0] = p[2]; ecc_code[1] = p[1]; ecc_code[2] = p[3]; But in the Correction algorithm when calculating the byte offset location, the b1 is used as the upper part of the address. Which again reverse the order making the final byte offset address location incorrect. byte_addr = (addressbits[b1] << 4) + addressbits[b0]; The order is change to read it in straight and let the correction function to revert it to SMC order.

commit 1f28fcd9 upstream. This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID: <200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the corruption. I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the root cause. This corrects the bug. I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. Reported-by:

"I recently (on a flight) I found out that when I boot with the hard-switch activated, so turning off all wireless activity on my laptop, the state is not correctly announced in /dev/rfkill (reading it with rfkill command, or my own gnome applet)... After turning off and on again the hard-switch the events were right." We can fix this by querying the firmware at load time and calling rfkill_set_hw_state(). Signed-off-by:

commit 0c570cde upstream. Since 2.6.29 the PCI PM core have been restoring the standard configuration registers of PCI devices in the early phase of resume. In particular, PCI devices without drivers have been handled this way since commit 355a72d7 (PCI: Rework default handling of suspend and resume). Unfortunately, this leads to post-resume problems with CardBus devices which cannot be accessed in the early phase of resume, because the sockets they are on have not been woken up yet at that point. To solve this problem, move the yenta socket resume to the early phase of resume and, analogously, move the suspend of it to the late phase of suspend. Additionally, remove some unnecessary PCI code from the yenta socket's resume routine. Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13092, which is a post-2.6.28 regression. Signed-off-by:

commit b75fe4e5 upstream. x86-64 assumes NX is available by default, so we need to explicitly check for it before using NX.

commit 2496afbf upstream. We need to have a stronger barrier between releasing the lock and checking for any waiting spinners. A compiler barrier is not sufficient because the CPU's ordering rules do not prevent the read xl->spinners from happening before the unlock assignment, as they are different memory locations. We need to have an explicit barrier to enforce the write-read ordering to different memory locations. Because of it, I can't bring up > 4 HVM guests on one SMP machine.

commit 4d576b57 upstream. Where possible we enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock to become free, in order to reduce big latency spikes in interrupt handling. However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too. Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the blocking call. [ Impact: avoid race/deadlock when using Xen PV spinlocks ] Reported-by:

commit 577eebea upstream. -fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value. gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun. On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited.

commit 9c2d2056 upstream. When calling vfs_unlink() on the lower dentry, d_delete() turns the dentry into a negative dentry when the d_count is 1. This eventually caused a NULL pointer deref when a read() or write() was done and the negative dentry's d_inode was dereferenced in ecryptfs_read_update_atime() or ecryptfs_getxattr(). Placing mutt's tmpdir in an eCryptfs mount is what initially triggered the oops and I was able to reproduce it with the following sequence: open("/tmp/upper/foo", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 3 link("/tmp/upper/foo", "/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 unlink("/tmp/upper/foo") = 0 open("/tmp/upper/bar", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 4 unlink("/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 write(4, "eCryptfs test\n"..., 14 <unfinished ...> +++ killed by SIGKILL +++ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/387073Reported-by:

commit ac22ba23 upstream. If the lower inode is read-only, don't attempt to open the lower file read/write and don't hand off the open request to the privileged eCryptfs kthread for opening it read/write. Instead, only try an unprivileged, read-only open of the file and give up if that fails. This patch fixes an oops when eCryptfs is mounted on top of a read-only mount. Acked-by:

commit 580be083 upstream. In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

commit d08ebedd upstream. Some time ago, I have send a patch to the mmc_spi subsystem changing the error codes. This was after a discussion with Pierre about using EINVAL only for non-recoverable errors. This patch was accepted as http://git.kernel.org/linus/fdd858db7113ca64132de390188d7ca00701013d Unfortunately, several weeks later, I realized that this patch has opened a little can of worms because there are SD cards on the market which a) claim that they support the switch command AND b) refuse to execute this command if operating in SPI mode. So, such a card would get unusuable in an embedded linux system in SPI mode, because the init sequence terminates with an error. This patch adds the missing error codes to the caller of the switch command and restores the old behaviour to fail gracefully if these commands can not execute. Signed-off-by:

The patch avoids the following kernel oops: debian:~# modprobe sisfb [ 73.070000] sisfb: Video ROM found [ 73.080000] sisfb: Video RAM at 0x80000000, mapped to 0xe0a00000, size 1024k [ 73.090000] sisfb: MMIO at 0x84080000, mapped to 0xe0b80000, size 256k [ 73.090000] sisfb: Memory heap starting at 800K, size 32K [ 73.360000] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6e000844 [ 73.380000] pgd = df230000 [ 73.380000] [6e000844] *pgd=00000000 [ 73.380000] Internal error: Oops: 8f5 [#1] [ 73.380000] Modules linked in: sisfb(+) fb cfbcopyarea cfbimgblt cfbfillrect [ 73.380000] CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.31-iop32x #1) [ 73.380000] PC is at SiS_SetRegANDOR+0x10/0x38 [sisfb] [ 73.380000] LR is at SiS_SetSCLKHigh+0x38/0x94 [sisfb] [ 73.380000] pc : [<bf01dc00>] lr : [<bf0238f8>] psr: 60000013 [ 73.380000] sp : df38fd00 ip : 6e000000 fp : 00000002 [ 73.380000] r10: 00000108 r9 : 00000000 r8 : 00000108 [ 73.380000] r7 : df064258 r6 : 00000110 r5 : 6e000844 r4 : 0000010a [ 73.380000] r3 : 00000001 r2 : 0000000e r1 : 00000011 r0 : 00000844 [ 73.380000] Flags: nZCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user [ 73.380000] Control: 0000397f Table: bf230000 DAC: 00000015 [ 73.380000] Process modprobe (pid: 1849, stack limit = 0xdf38e270) [ 73.380000] Stack: (0xdf38fd00 to 0xdf390000) [ 73.380000] fd00: 0000010a 00000108 df064258 df064258 df064258 00000000 00000000 bf02c4e0 [ 73.380000] fd20: 00000114 bf02c50c 00000013 00000114 0000010a df064258 00000000 bf02c980 [ 73.380000] fd40: 00009c66 00000004 00000001 df064250 a0010000 a6a2a0a0 df064250 00000003 [ 73.380000] fd60: df064250 00000000 df064258 0000fffd 00000000 00000000 00000000 bf033948 [ 73.380000] fd80: 00000000 00000000 00000000 bf019e2c 00000000 df064a70 bf03b470 00010000 [ 73.380000] fda0: 00000000 df064250 00000000 df831c00 00000012 bf039f70 00000000 c00abed8 [ 73.380000] fdc0: 000008a6 000008a4 df0649b0 df064878 df064258 df064000 00000000 00000000 [ 73.380000] fde0: 00000001 00008000 00000001 00030000 df81c930 bf049f88 df831c00 00000000 [ 73.380000] fe00: bf049f58 df3952a0 c0447708 bf049f88 bf049fe0 c0191980 df831c00 c0191b10 [ 73.380000] fe20: df831c58 bf049f58 df831c00 bf04aca8 df3952a0 df831c58 df831c58 bf049f88 [ 73.380000] fe40: c01ba1b4 c01ba0a0 df831c58 df831c8c bf049f88 c01ba1b4 df3952a0 00000000 [ 73.380000] fe60: c03e265c c01ba240 00000000 df38fe78 bf049f88 c01b990c df812938 df81b8d0 [ 73.380000] fe80: df3952a0 df807780 00000000 00000060 bf049f88 c01b9224 bf0429c8 00000000 [ 73.380000] fea0: bf049f58 00000000 bf049f88 00000000 00000000 bf04aea8 00000000 c01ba4e4 [ 73.380000] fec0: e09861a0 bf049f58 00000000 bf049f88 00000000 c0191f20 00000000 00000000 [ 73.380000] fee0: c03f7bac bf04d418 0000fff2 0000fff1 bf04ad08 0002f260 0002f260 e0986038 [ 73.380000] ff00: e0986150 e098568b df143340 e0990280 00000036 c03d8b00 fffffffd 00000000 [ 73.380000] ff20: bf04acfc 00000000 fffffffc 0003cf4b 00018098 c03f7bac 00000000 bf04d000 [ 73.380000] ff40: df38e000 00000000 bedc0984 c00272a4 ffffffff c005bc88 00000000 00000000 [ 73.380000] ff60: 0003cf4b 0003cf4b 00018098 bf04acfc 00000000 c0027fe8 df38e000 00000000 [ 73.380000] ff80: bedc0984 c006882c 00001000 00000003 00000000 00009064 00000000 00008edc [ 73.380000] ffa0: 00000080 c0027e20 00009064 00000000 4014e000 0003cf4b 00018098 0003cf4b [ 73.380000] ffc0: 00009064 00000000 00008edc 00000080 00000000 00000000 40025000 bedc0984 [ 73.380000] ffe0: 00000000 bedc08fc 0000b6b0 400e8f34 60000010 4014e000 00000000 00000000 [ 73.380000] [<bf01dc00>] (SiS_SetRegANDOR+0x10/0x38 [sisfb]) from [<df064258>] (0xdf064258) [ 73.380000] Code: e92d0030 e20110ff e280546e e3a0c46e (e5c51000) [ 73.680000] ---[ end trace 62a93e01df37a5f2 ]--- Signed-off-by:

commit a9ece53c upstream. Commit b478b782 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result, it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S /bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1 16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139 This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.

commit 2ddce3fd upstream. Attempting to unload a framebuffer module calls unregister_framebuffer() which in turn gets fbcon to release it. If fbcon has no framebuffers linked to a console, it will also unbind itself from the console driver. However, if fbcon never registered itself as a console driver, the unbind will fail causing the framebuffer device entry to persist. In most cases this failure will result in an oops when attempting to access the now non-existent device. This patch ensures that the fbcon unbind request will succeed even if a bind was never done. It tracks if a successful bind ever occurred & will only attempt to unbind if needed. If there never was a bind, it simply returns with no error. Signed-off-by:

commit 7e24bc1c upstream. Similar to commit b6adc195 (PCI hotplug: acpiphp wants a 64-bit _SUN), pci_slot.ko reads and creates sysfs directories based on the _SUN method. Certain HP platforms return 64 bits in _SUN. This change to pci_slot.ko allows us to see the correct sysfs directories. Reported-by:
