If raid1/repair (which reads all block and fixes any differences it finds) hits a read error, it doesn't reset the bio for writing before writing correct data back, so the read error isn't fixed, and the device probably gets a zero-length write which it might complain about.

The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size. The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end of the array until -after- the first write. This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time between the allocation and the first write. Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the bogus write. With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no longer benign. This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning. The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether the array is big enough to hold the store. Cc: "Eric W.

It is not safe to use pte_update_defer() in ptep_test_and_clear_young(): its only user, /proc/<pid>/clear_refs, drops pte lock before flushing TLB. Use the safe though less efficient pte_update() paravirtop in its place. Likewise in ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(), though that has no current use. These are macros (header file dependency stops them from becoming inline functions), so be more liberal with the underscores and parentheses.

Restore tty locked ioctl handler which was replaced with an unlocked ioctl handler in hung_up_tty_fops by the patch: commit e10cc1df Author: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Date: Thu May 10 22:22:50 2007 -0700 tty: add compat_ioctl This was reported in: [Bug 8473] New: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP The bug is caused by switching to hung_up_tty_fops in do_tty_hangup. An ioctl call can be waiting on BLK after testing for existence of the locked ioctl handler in the normal tty fops, but before calling the locked ioctl handler. If a hangup occurs at that point, the locked ioctl fop is NULL and an oops occurs. (akpm: we can remove my debugging code from do_ioctl() now, but it'll be OK to do that for 2.6.23) Signed-off-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 9b01bd5b introduced a compat_ioctl handler for RADEON_SETPARAM, the sole purpose of which was to handle the fact that on i386, alignof(uint64_t)==4. Unfortunately, this handler was installed for _all_ 64-bit architectures, instead of only x86_64 and ia64. And thus it breaks 32-bit compatibility on every other arch, where 64-bit integers are aligned to 8 bytes in 32-bit mode just the same as in 64-bit mode. Arnd has a cunning plan to use 'compat_u64' with appropriate alignment attributes according to the 32-bit ABI, but for now let's just make the compat_radeon_cp_setparam routine entirely disappear on 64-bit machines whose 32-bit compat support isn't for i386. It would be a no-op with compat_u64 anyway.

When building with memory hotplug enabled and cpu hotplug disabled, we end up with the following section mismatch: WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x4e58): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'free_area_init_node' and '__build_all_zonelists') This happens as a result of: -> free_area_init_node() -> free_area_init_core() -> zone_pcp_init() <-- all __meminit up to this point -> zone_batchsize() <-- marked as __cpuinit fo This happens because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n sets __cpuinit to __init, but CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y unsets __meminit. Changing zone_batchsize() to __devinit fixes this. __devinit is the only thing that is common between CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y. In the long run, perhaps this should be moved to another section identifier completely. Without this, memory hot-add of offline nodes (via hotadd_new_pgdat()) will oops if CPU hotplug is not also enabled.

SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front of the request queue using blk_execute_rq(). When entering suspended or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using scsi_device_quiesce(). In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests are processed. This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while suspending and resuming. As all internal commands are pushed at the front of the queue, this usually works. Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing. To preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on requeue if IO barrier is in progress. The following sequence deadlocks. 1. IO barrier sequence issues. 2. Suspend requested. Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO barrier sequence at the front. 3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which gets deferred and requeued for some reason. As the command is issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the request after IO barrier sequence. 4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked - suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while the request can't be processed till device is put back into running state by resuming. This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when requeueing.

Commit 164891aa broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred data, we break out instead of waiting for more pipe room. The exit logic looks at spd->nr_pages to see if we moved everything inside the spd container, but we decrement that variable in the loop to decide when spd has emptied. Instead we want to compare to the original page count in the spd, so cache that in a local variable. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
