If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state where - echo characters are pending - FASYNC is enabled - tty_write_wakeup is called from either - a device write path (pty) - an IRQ (serial) then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path. On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up this bug. The code path is n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex) tty_io:tty_put_char() pty:pty_write (or serial paths) tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ) n_tty_write_wakeup() process_echoes() *KABOOM* Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now available at the time the console is initialized. Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem, it's always slab. This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly: Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator") replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to 1 and the memory block is later leaked. The corresponding kmemleak trace: unreferenced object 0xdf828000 (size 8192): comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294937296 backtrace: [<c006d473>] __save_stack_trace+0x17/0x1c [<c000d869>] log_early+0x55/0x84 [<c01cfa4b>] kmemleak_alloc+0x33/0x3c [<c006c013>] __kmalloc+0xd7/0xe4 [<c00108c7>] con_init+0xbf/0x1b8 [<c0010149>] console_init+0x11/0x20 [<c0008797>] start_kernel+0x137/0x1e4 Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Tested-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away some "useless" checks for null pointers. Such bugs can sometimes become exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672. static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev) { struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev); - struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv; + struct agnx_priv *priv; AGNX_TRACE; if (!dev) return; + priv = dev->priv; By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev is compiled away. call printk # - testq %r12, %r12 # dev - je .L94 #, movq %r12, %rdi # dev, Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to abuse.

PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 times out SETXFER if no media is present. The device is SATA and simply skipping SETXFER works around the problem. Implement ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER and apply it to the device. Reported by Moritz Rigler in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36790 and by Lars in bko#9540.

The function jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in) too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data to be written into the journal. Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only time this will actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system crash or other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take place.
