NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS specific knowledge built in. This design was approved by both groups back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile solution. This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own mount options. The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount options for filesystems which use text mount data. This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression. I will be adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3 code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

This is flagged by modpost as a potential error because it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU scenario the unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop.

This addresses the recent ATI SB600 errata, where the hardware does not like 256-length PRD entries during FPDMA (aka NCQ). It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later on tune for performance. We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines. This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there is no memory available at all. Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

When a request fails that was started on an alias device then the first recovery step is to retry it on the base device. If the recovery request fails again with the same symptoms, the next step should not be a simple retry, but should be a proper recovery based on sense data, etc. To do so, the dasd recovery functions need to recognize the alias recovery step in the erp chain by comparing the start devices.

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler: This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers (i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients. Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there. There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the following series of events in processes A and B: A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation B) Frees some huge pages A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator. B) Allocates some huge pages A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages() Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages(). This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may have been allocated to back the failed reservation.

This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the 2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework. Abstract: When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the resync threads of md RAID10 could stall. This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will fail because of resource busy. The deadlock mechanism: The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in end_sync_write(). If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining" should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter mismatch. For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case: Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_] [>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled. An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock. md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__] [=>...................] recovery = 5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec 2739 ?

Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing. If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem.

This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the disk with the lowest block address. Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting of the first band of stripes. Some advantages: The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the inner blocks. Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the first part of the disks. Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk. If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become NULL while we are accessing it. So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show. rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the function.
