The ivtv stream buffers may be for receive or for send but the attached sg handle is always destined cpu->device. We flush it correctly but the allocation is wrongly done with the same type as the buffers. See bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13385 (Note this doesn't close the bug - it fixes the ivtv part and in turn the logging next shows up some rather alarming DMA sg list warnings in libata) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 95a3540d ("ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") removed the "extra" wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks the compatibility. I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many ways, but GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always wakes up the tracee. Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic, and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another assumption: PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in TASK_STOPPED case. Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and call do_signal_stop() before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process(). Revert this change for now. We need some fixes even if we we want to keep the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.

The "trace || CLONE_PTRACE" check in tracehook_report_clone() is not right, - If the untraced task does clone(CLONE_PTRACE) the new child is not traced, we must not queue SIGSTOP. - If we forked the traced task, but the tracer exits and untraces both the forking task and the new child (after copy_process() drops tasklist_lock), we should not queue SIGSTOP too. Change the code to check task_ptrace() != 0 instead. This is still racy, but the race is harmless. We can race with another tracer attaching to this child, or the tracer can exit and detach in parallel. But giwen that we didn't do wake_up_new_task() yet, the child must have the pending SIGSTOP anyway.

While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows: #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 20`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 & done wait on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes, the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write. The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by 557ed1fa ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page. The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes. To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during /dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

This could be triggered by a gtt mapping fault on 965 that decides to remove the fence from another object that happens to be active currently. Since the other object doesn't rely on the fence reg for its execution, we don't wait for it to finish. We'll soon be not waiting on 915 most of the time as well, so just drop the BUG_ON.

A driver will use the _DRM_DRIVER map flag to indicate that it wants to be responsible for removing the map itself, bypassing the DRM's automagic cleanup code. Since the multi-master changes this has been broken, resulting in some drivers having their registers unmapped before it's finished with them.

Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while reducing code duplication. That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system. This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.

allocating devname in the i915 driver was a hack originally and I forgot to figure out how to do this properly back then.

net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup. When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized by classifier's init(), and chained. After it's chained, tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change(). When classifier's change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto. In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init(). It accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before change(), then hits Oops.

Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two things: 1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve 2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to doing an skb_put Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc, underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents small frames from causing the underflow described above Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Tested-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always leave the phy powered up. The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing users to remove all power to get the interface working (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072). Leaving the phy powered on is the safest default behavior. Users accustomed to seeing the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other OSes is not an issue.

Regreesion from commit ef8f7fc5, which rearranged the code in xfs_swap_extents() leading to double unlock of xfs inode ilock. That resulted in xfs_fsr deadlocking itself on platforms, which don't handle double unlock of rw_semaphore nicely. It caused the count go negative, which represents the write holder, without really having one. ia64 is one of the platforms where deadlock was easily reproduced and the fix was tested.
