It's too easy to incorrectly call cpuset_zone_allowed() in an atomic context without __GFP_HARDWALL set, and when done, it is not noticed until a tight memory situation forces allocations to be tried outside the current cpuset. Add a 'might_sleep_if()' check, to catch this earlier on, instead of waiting for a similar check in the mutex_lock() code, which is only rarely invoked. Signed-off-by:

Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment. The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed() was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in November 2005. Rewrite that comment ...

Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen. Signed-off-by:

The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed. Signed-off-by:

While doing some inotify stress testing, I hit the following race. In inotify_release(), it's possible for a watch to be removed from the lists in between dropping dev->mutex and taking inode->inotify_mutex. The reference we hold prevents the watch from being freed, but not from being removed. Checking the dev's idr mapping will prevent a double list_del of the same watch. Signed-off-by:

A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section information being put into sysfs memory entries. This primarily impacts memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new memory. Fix suggested by Dave Hansen. Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in the function's return statement: return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root); In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check" export option. The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client. The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again. In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the server for a particular user. A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error. Signed-off-by:

It looks like the generic ide code now wants ide_init_hwif_ports() to set the parent struct device into the ide_hw structure (new field ?). Without this, the mac ide code can cause the ide probing code to explode in flames in sysfs registration due to what looks like a stale pointer in there (happens when removing/re-inserting one of the hotswap media bays on some laptops).

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have easy access to... I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32 box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals, on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch. I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as well. Signed-off-by:

Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans, compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans, which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to compat_sys_nfsservctl. An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns -EFAULT. The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value of access_ok in the five functions.

The driver currently keeps local copies of the hardware request/response queue indexes. But it expends significant effort ensuring consistency between the two views, and still gets it wrong after an error or reset occurs. This patch removes the local copies, in favour of just accessing the hardware whenever we need them. Eventually this may need to be tweaked again for NCQ, but for now this works and solves problems some users were seeing. Signed-off-by:

The 60xx chips, and possibly others, incorrectly assert DEV_IRQ interrupts on a regular basis. The cause of this is under investigation (by me and in theory by Marvell also), but regardless we do need to deal with these events. This patch tidies up some interrupt handler code, and ensures that we ignore DEV_IRQ interrupts when the drive still has ATA_BUSY asserted. Signed-off-by:

The interface control register of the 60xx (and later) Marvell chip requires certain bits to always be set when writing to it. These bits incorrectly read-back as zeros, so the pattern must be ORed in with each write of the register. Also, bit 12 should NOT be set (note that Marvell's own driver also had bit-12 wrong here). While we're at it, we also now do pci_set_master() in the init code. Signed-off-by:

In some systems, it is possible that the BIOS may have enabled interrupt coalescing for the Marvell controllers which support it. This patch adds code to detect/ack interrupts from the chip's coalescing (combing) logic. Signed-off-by:

The mv_err_intr() function is invoked from the driver's interrupt handler, as well as from the timeout function. This patch prevents it from triggering a one-after-the-other double reset of the controller when invoked from the timeout function. This also adds a check for a timeout race condition that has been observed to occur with this driver in earlier kernels. This should not be needed, in theory, but in practice it has caught bugs. Maybe nuke it at a later date. Signed-off-by:
