2007-09-20[PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_recv_coreHerbert Xu
The function pppol2tp_recv_core doesn't handle non-linear packets properly. It also fails to check the remote offset field. This patch fixes these problems. It also removes an unnecessary check on the UDP header which has already been performed by the UDP layer. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-09-20[NETFILTER]: nfnetlink_log: fix sending of multipart messagesEric Leblond
The following patch fixes the handling of netlink packets containing multiple messages. As exposed during netfilter workshop, nfnetlink_log was overwritten the message type of the last message (setting it to MSG_DONE) in a multipart packet. The consequence was libnfnetlink to ignore the last message in the packet. The following patch adds a supplementary message (with type MSG_DONE) af the end of the netlink skb.

2007-09-20Fix CRLF line endings in Documentation/input/iforce-protocol.txtLinus Torvalds
Emil Medve points out that this documentation file uses CRLF line endings, which means that if you use [core] autocrlf=input (which makes sense if you ever develop under Windows, for example, or if you use other broken tools) in your git config, git will always complain about the file being dirty. This removes the bogus DOS line endings, and removes whitespace at the end of line. Cc: Emil Medve <Emilian.Medve@Freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-09-19sched: fix invalid sched_class useHiroshi Shimamoto
When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario; 1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and thread B is rt_sched_class. 2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock. 3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread C has a rt_sched_class. 4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array. The new thread C should be fair_sched_class. The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing. This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

2007-09-19x86-64: page faults from user mode are always user faultsLinus Torvalds
Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user mode. This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to possibly have fixed it. Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

2007-09-19uml: fix irqstack crashJeff Dike
This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling whatever signals had come in. However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original values. This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look into it after it has been freed. The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to the mask.

2007-09-19Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference CountingLee Schermerhorn
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone. Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy, but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the numa map data. Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy. The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy. This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy. Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier. huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma 'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be unref'd after allocation.

2007-09-19Fix user namespace exiting OOPsPavel Emelyanov
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later. On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned. Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the user_struct destruction. For example simple program #include <sched.h> char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024]; int f(void *foo) { return 0; } int main(void) { clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0); return 0; } run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the kernel immediately.

2007-09-19ext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both blocksEric Sandeen
The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW, it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created enough space for it. The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry. The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and if it grows too large it may be overwritten. By making offs and size both u16, we won't grow the map size. Also add a few comments to the functions involved. This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error" Thanks to Andreas Dilger for discussing the problem & solution with me.

2007-09-19mspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areasCliff Wickman
The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic. If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by an munmap(2). The current driver uses the current size of each vma to deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc(). So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(), and mspec attempts to free it with kfree(). This results in a panic. This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the munmap(2)'s. All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's. The mpec driver must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each member vma. In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure. The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case so the reference count is left as atomic_t.

2007-09-19rtc: rtc-ds1553.c should use resource_size_t for base addressAtsushi Nemoto
Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1552.c uses an unsigned long to store the base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on 32-bit systems with larger physical addresses.

2007-09-19rtc-ds1742.c should use resource_size_t for base addressDavid Gibson
Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1742.c uses an unsigned long to store the base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on systems like PowerPC 440, which is a 32-bit core with 36-bit physical addresses: IO on the system, including the RTC, is typically above the 4GB point, and cannot fit into an unsigned long. This patch fixes the problem by replacing the unsigned long with a resource_size_t. Tested on Ebony (PPC440) (with additional patches to instantiate the ds1742 platform device appropriately).

struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion.

2007-09-19Fix failure to resume from initrdsNigel Cunningham
Commit 831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69 (Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default) breaks freezing when attempting to resume from an initrd, because the init (which is freezeable) spins while waiting for another thread to run /linuxrc, but doesn't check whether it has been told to enter the refrigerator. The original patch replaced a call to try_to_freeze() with a call to yield(). I believe a simple reversion is wrong because if !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, try_to_freeze() is a noop. It should still yield.

2007-09-19uml: use correct type in BLKGETSIZE ioctlNicolas George
I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem): In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects a pointer to a long: case BLKGETSIZE: if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL) return -EFBIG; return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9); In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int. The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.
