2005-08-04[PATCH] fix VmSize and VmData after mremapHugh Dickins
mremap's move_vma is applying __vm_stat_account to the old vma which may have already been freed: move it to just before the do_munmap. mremapping to and fro with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y showed /proc/<pid>/status VmSize and VmData wrapping just like in kernel bugzilla #4842, and fixed by this patch - worth including in 2.6.13, though not yet confirmed that it fixes that specific report from Frank van Maarseveen.

2005-08-04[PATCH] Destruction of failed keyring oopsesDavid Howells
The attached patch makes sure that a keyring that failed to instantiate properly is destroyed without oopsing [CAN-2005-2099]. The problem occurs in three stages: (1) The key allocator initialises the type-specific data to all zeroes. In the case of a keyring, this will become a link in the keyring name list when the keyring is instantiated. (2) If a user (any user) attempts to add a keyring with anything other than an empty payload, the keyring instantiation function will fail with an error and won't add the keyring to the name list. (3) The keyring's destructor then sees that the keyring has a description (name) and tries to remove the keyring from the name list, which oopses because the link pointers are both zero. This bug permits any user to take down a box trivially.

2005-08-04[PATCH] Error during attempt to join key management session can leave ↵David Howells
semaphore pinned The attached patch prevents an error during the key session joining operation from hanging future joins in the D state [CAN-2005-2098]. The problem is that the error handling path for the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation has one error path that doesn't release the session management semaphore. Further attempts to get the semaphore will then sleep for ever in the D state. This can happen in four situations, all involving an attempt to allocate a new session keyring: (1) ENOMEM. (2) The users key quota being reached. (3) A keyring name that is an empty string. (4) A keyring name that is too long. Any user may attempt this operation, and so any user can cause the problem to occur.

2005-08-04[PATCH] md: yet another attempt to get bitmap-based resync to do the right ↵NeilBrown
thing in all cases... Firstly, R1BIO_Degraded was being set in a number of places in the resync code, but is never used there, so get rid of those settings. Then: When doing a resync, we want to clear the bit in the bitmap iff the array will be non-degraded when the sync has completed. However the current code would clear the bitmap if the array was non-degraded when the resync *started*, which obviously isn't right (it is for 'resync' but not for 'recovery' - i.e. rebuilding a failed drive). This patch calculated 'still_degraded' and uses the to tell bitmap_start_sync whether this sync should clear the corresponding bit.

2005-08-04[PATCH] md: always honour md bitmap being read from diskNeilBrown
The code currently will ignore the bitmap if the array seem to be in-sync. This is wrong if the array is degraded, and probably wrong anyway. If the bitmap says some chunks are not in in-sync, and the superblock says everything IS in sync, then something is clearly wrong, and it is safer to trust the bitmap.

2005-08-04[SCSI] fix aic7xxx performance issues since 2.6.12-rc2James Bottomley
Several people noticed we dropped quite a bit on benchmark figures. OK, it was my fault but unfortunately I discovered I ran out of brown paper bags a while ago and forgot to reorder them. The issue is that a construct introduced in the conversion of the driver to use the transport class keyed off whether the block request was tagged or not. However, the aic7xxx driver doesn't properly set up the block layer TCQ (it uses the wrong API), so the driver now things all requests are untagged and we keep it to a queue depth of a single element. Oops. The fix is to use the correct TCQ API. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2005-08-04[PATCH] Keys: Fix key management syscall interface bugsDavid Howells
This fixes five bugs in the key management syscall interface: (1) add_key() returns 0 rather than EINVAL if the key type is "". Checking the key type isn't "" should be left to lookup_user_key(). (2) request_key() returns ENOKEY rather than EPERM if the key type begins with a ".". lookup_user_key() can't do this because internal key types begin with a ".". (3) Key revocation always returns 0, even if it fails. (4) Key read can return EAGAIN rather than EACCES under some circumstances. A key is permitted to by read by a process if it doesn't grant read access, but it does grant search access and it is in the process's keyrings. That search returns EAGAIN if it fails, and this needs translating to EACCES. (5) request_key() never adds the new key to the destination keyring if one is supplied. The wrong macro was being used to test for an error condition: PTR_ERR() will always return true, whether or not there's an error; this should've been IS_ERR().

2005-08-04[PATCH] Remove suspend() calls from shutdown pathBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes the calls to device_suspend() from the shutdown path that were added sometime during 2.6.13-rc*. They aren't working properly on a number of configs (I got reports from both ppc powerbook users and x86 users) causing the system to not shutdown anymore. I think it isn't the right approach at the moment anyway. We have already a shutdown() callback for the drivers that actually care about shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be so much generalized. Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are slightly different on a number of setups and the way this was patched in provides little way for drivers to cleanly differenciate. It should have been at least a different message. For 2.6.13, I think we should revert to 2.6.12 behaviour and have a working suspend back.

2005-08-03[PATCH] ARM: 2833/2: Remove support for WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE from sa1100-wdtIan Campbell
Patch from Ian Campbell On PXA255 there is no way to disable the watchdog. Turning off OIER[E3] as suggested in the existing comment does not work. I posted a note to the ARM mailing list a little while ago asking for opinions from people using SA1100. There was one reponse from Nico who believes that the SA1100 is the same as the PXA255 in this respect. You also asked me to involve the watchdog maintainer which I tried to do but didn't hear anything back. There are only a couple of other drivers which can't stop the watchdog and there seems to be no consistancy regarding printing an error etc. I decided to print something since that matches the case for all the other drivers when NOWAYOUT is turned on. Also, I changed the device .name to "watchdog" like most of the other watchdogs. udev uses it as the device name (by default) and spaces etc. get in the way.

2005-08-03Fix up recent get_user_pages() handlingLinus Torvalds
The VM_FAULT_WRITE thing is an extra bit, not a valid return value, and has to be treated as such by get_user_pages(). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-03[PATCH] fix get_user_pages bugNick Piggin
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write. So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer requires pte_write in __follow_page. But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with double underscores. Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.
