2009-06-05[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: check space_id of _PCT registers to be FFHDave Jones
The powernow-k8 driver checks to see that the Performance Control/Status Registers are declared as FFH (functional fixed hardware) by the BIOS. However, this check got broken in the commit: 0e64a0c982c06a6b8f5e2a7f29eb108fdf257b2f [CPUFREQ] checkpatch cleanups for powernow-k8 Fix based on an original patch from Naga Chumbalkar.

2009-06-05ivtv: Fix PCI DMA directionAlan Cox
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.

2009-06-04ptrace: revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic"Oleg Nesterov
Commit 95a3540da9c81a5987be810e1d9a83640a366bd5 ("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.

2009-06-04ptrace: tracehook_report_clone: fix false positivesOleg Nesterov
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.

2009-06-04drivers/char/mem.c: avoid OOM lockup during large reads from /dev/zeroSalman Qazi
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 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("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.

2009-06-04Btrfs: Fix oops and use after free during space balancingChris Mason
The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block groups when searching for free blocks. It starts off with a hint to help find the best block group for a given allocation. The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing. If it is being freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted. But, the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop, leading to all kinds of fun. The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really is on the list before we use it. list_del_init is used when removing it from the list, so we can do a proper check. The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust the block group in the current free space cluster. If our allocation flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example) because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use the old block group any more. The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the current allocation flags. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-04drm: Hook up DPMS property handling in drm_crtc.c. Add ↵Keith Packard
drm_helper_connector_dpms. 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.

2009-06-03mvsdio: fix config failure with some high speed SDHC cardsNicolas Pitre
Especially with Sandisk SDHC cards, the second SWITCH command was failing with a timeout and the card was not recognized at all. However if the system was busy, or debugging was enabled, or a udelay(100) was inserted before the second SWITCH command in the core code, then the timing was so that the card started to work. With some unusual block sizes, the data FIFO status doesn't indicate a "empty" state right away when the data transfer is done. Queuing another data transfer in that condition results in a transfer timeout. The empty FIFO bit eventually get set by itself in less than 50 usecs when it is not set right away. So let's just poll for that bit before configuring the controller with a new data transfer. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <pierre@ossman.eu>

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.

2009-06-02e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routineNeil Horman
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.
