In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the section. The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against initrd corruptions. Cc: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Using the ipldelay kernel parameter leads to a crash at IPL time. Since this is broken since a long time it looks like nobody is using it anymore. So remove it instead of fixing it. Signed-off-by:

If qdio shutdown runs in parallel with a channel error, the qdio_timeout_handler might not be triggered. In this case neither state INACTIVE nor state ERR is reached and the following wait_event hangs forever. Solution: do not make use of ccw_device_set_timeout(), but add a timeout to the following wait_event. And make sure, wake_up is called in case of an i/o error on the qdio-device. Signed-off-by:

-
Dmitry Adamushko authored
Commit f18f982a ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as described below: Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map) does the following: /* * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated. */ The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only for !CPUSETS case. With f18f982a, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to CPUSETS code: cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() -> rebuild_sched_domains() Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress. __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already "offline" when this function is called). try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU -> the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later -> oops. Signed-off-by:

The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches (since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails to compile with this error: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded within it, and that expands into a function macro. We need to use __constant_cpu_to_le32() instead. Signed-off-by:

Try this: mount a share with unix extensions create a file on it umount the share You'll get the following message in the ring buffer: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression caused by commit 0e4bbde9. The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor formatting nit as well. Signed-off-by:Steven French <sfrench@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0. This made me realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills in 'value' with the result, and returns it. This is goes against general kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function. This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon success. Thus, code like: res = ov7670_read(...); if (!res) goto error; ..will work properly. Signed-off-by:

I had 8250.nr_uarts=16 in the boot line of a test kernel and I had a weird mysterious crash in sysfs. After taking an in-depth look I realized that CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to 4 and I was walking off the end of the serial8250_ports array. Ouch!!! Don't let this happen to someone else.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating the same framebuffer. Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug. It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist, I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order. Signed-off-by:

Coverity CID: 1356 RESOURCE_LEAK I found a very old patch for this that was Acked but did not get applied https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/kernel-janitors/2006-September/016362.html There looks to be a small leak in isdn_writebuf_stub() in isdn_common.c, when copy_from_user() returns an un-copied data length (length != 0). The below patch should be a minimally invasive fix. Signed-off-by:

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg. Acked-by:
