Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped
test in 2.6.7! Bad bad bug, good good find.
The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as
i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock)
when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal
version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out. So the count
was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then
wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped.
The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on
a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED
(but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN
when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail.
But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush
userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it,
may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any
repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will
flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily.
Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the

Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port.
The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial
ports:
(1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx.
(2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx.
(3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt
stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx.
mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It
doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx.
However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled()
sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the
UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled.
The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in
mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty
may have gone away.
To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the
high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low
priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the

In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random

The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Add a call to cancel_work_sync() in fbcon_exit() to cancel any pending

The current implementation of fbcon_exit() sets the fbcon workqueue
function info->queue.func to NULL, but does not assure that there is no
work pending when it does so. On occasion, depending on system timing,
there will still be pending work in the queue when fbcon_exit() is
called. This results in a null pointer deference when run_workqueue()
tries to call the queue's work function.

(2) don't use schedule_on_each_cpu()
Gerald Schaefer reported it doesn't work well on SMP (not NUMA) S390

offline_pages() calls lru_add_drain_all() followed by drain_all_pages().
While drain_all_pages() works on each cpu, lru_add_drain_all() only runs
on the current cpu for architectures w/o CONFIG_NUMA. This let us run
into the BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during
memory hotplug stress test on s390. The page in question was still on the
pcp list, because of a race with lru_add_drain_all() and drain_all_pages()
on different cpus.
Actually, Almost machine has CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU=y. Then almost machine use

Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400
percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
Before this patch we had the following:
percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.
After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.
Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.
This patch reverts 1f7c14c62c. This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.
Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.
After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470
A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.
Consider the following scenario:
INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list
CPU0 CPU1
net_rx_action poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A
poll_one_napi
napi->poll
netif_rx_complete
__napi_complete
(removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)
In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.
Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've
implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.
I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from

that the alternative is a crash.

The patch 6341c39 "tracehook: exec" introduced a small regression in
2.6.27 regarding binfmt_misc exec event reporting. Since the reporting
is now done in the common search_binary_handler() function, an exec
of a misc binary will result in two (or possibly multiple) exec events
being reported, instead of just a single one, because the misc handler
contains a recursive call to search_binary_handler.
To add to the confusion, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is not active, the multiple
SIGTRAP signals will in fact cause only a single ptrace intercept, as the
signals are not queued. However, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is on, the debugger
will actually see multiple ptrace intercepts (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC).
The test program included below demonstrates the problem.
This change fixes the bug by calling tracehook_report_exec() only in the
outermost search_binary_handler() call (bprm->recursion_depth == 0).
The additional change to restore bprm->recursion_depth after each binfmt
load_binary call is actually superfluous for this bug, since we test the
value saved on entry to search_binary_handler(). But it keeps the use of
of the depth count to its most obvious expected meaning. Depending on what
binfmt handlers do in certain cases, there could have been false-positive
tests for recursion limits before this change.
/* Test program using PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC.
This forks and exec's the first argument with the rest of the arguments,
while ptrace'ing. It expects to see one PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop and
then a successful exit, with no other signals or events in between.
Test for kernel doing two PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stops for a binfmt_misc exec:
$ gcc -g traceexec.c -o traceexec
$ sudo sh -c 'echo :test:M::foobar::/bin/cat: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register'
$ echo 'foobar test' > ./foobar
$ chmod +x ./foobar
$ ./traceexec ./foobar; echo $?

This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited
neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as
far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality
for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time).
Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
generated locally.

Attached is a patch which improves the output of ethtool (see below)
to some sensefull values with a sungem fibre card which uses the
sungem interal pcs connected to a serdes chip. The seriallink case in
the driver is untouched.
Most values are hardcoded, because gigabit fibre autoneg is anyways
limited and the driver don't really support much at the moment with
that hardware.

Makes a Compaq 6735s boot reliably again. It used to hang in the loop
on some boots. Give the link one second to train, otherwise break out
of the loop and reset the previously set clock bits.

In pci_create_slot(), the local variable 'slot_name' is allocated by
make_slot_name(), but never freed. We never use it after passing it to
the kobject core, so we should free it upon function exit.

Certain X11 servers such as the SIS server will only work if PCI mmap is
implemented. This patch implements PCI mmap but to be on the same side
so close to a release it only supports uncached mappings so performance
will not be optimal for some uses such as framebuffers.

With the introduction of the generic affinity autoselector,
irq_select_affinity(), IRQs are now being retargetted,
using a default mask, via the request_irq() path.
This results in all IRQs targetted at CPU 0.
SN Altix assigns affinity in the SN PROM, and does not
expect that to be changed as part of request_irq().
Set the IRQ_AFFINITY_SET flag to prevent
request_irq() from resetting affinity.

The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.
The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.

The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.
try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.
