If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a,
exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The
reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so
why do it in the first place?
A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation
after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this
case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has
never been looked up.
Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has
been successfully completed.

This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.
The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.
Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read. Obvious damage ensues.
Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

The 8110SB based n2100 board signals a lot of what ought to be
PCI data parity errors durint operation of the 8169 as target.
Experiment proved that the driver can ignore the error and
process the packet as if nothing had happened.
Let's add an ad-hoc knob to enable users to fix their system while
avoiding the risks of a wholesale change.

On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined
in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep
speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go
backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel
already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is
simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15...
The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a
dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a
really-going-forward tsc counter.

When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache
line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which
terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra
line gets copied into a temporary buffer. This is normally not an issue
since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information
gets copied into the user buffer.
The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page
of memory. That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB
chip raising an MCA.

Not all graphic page remappers support physical addresses over the 4GB
mark for remapping, so while some do (the AMD64 GART always did, and I
just fixed the i965 to do so properly), we're safest off just forcing
GFP_DMA32 allocations to make sure graphics pages get allocated in the
low 32-bit address space by default.
AGP sub-drivers that really care, and can do better, could just choose
to implement their own allocator (or we could add another "64-bit safe"
default allocator for their use), but quite frankly, you're not likely
to care in practice.
So for now, this trivial change means that we won't be allocating pages
that we can't map correctly by mistake on x86-64.
[ On traditional 32-bit x86, this could never happen, because GFP_KERNEL
would never allocate any highmem memory anyway ]

An md array can be asked to change the amount of each device that it is using,
and in particular can be asked to use the maximum available space. This
currently only works if the first device is not larger than the rest. As
'size' gets changed and so 'fit' becomes wrong. So check if a 'fit' is
required early and don't corrupt it.

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.
In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.
Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

The sunrpc scheduler contains a race condition that can let an RPC
task end up being neither running nor on any wait queue. The race takes
place between rpc_make_runnable (called from rpc_wake_up_task) and
__rpc_execute under the following condition:
First __rpc_execute calls tk_action which puts the task on some wait
queue. The task is dequeued by another process before __rpc_execute
continues its execution. While executing rpc_make_runnable exactly after
setting the task `running' bit and before clearing the `queued' bit
__rpc_execute picks up execution, clears `running' and subsequently
both functions fall through, both under the false assumption somebody
else took the job.
Swapping rpc_test_and_set_running with rpc_clear_queued in
rpc_make_runnable fixes that hole. This introduces another possible
race condition that can be handled by checking for `queued' after
setting the `running' bit.
Bug noticed on a 4-way x86_64 system under XEN with an NFSv4 server
on the same physical machine, apparently one of the few ways to hit
this race condition at all.

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.
So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.
I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And
it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing
them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device,
targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting
ti->begin.
The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking
care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

The reference counting on dm-mod is zero if no mapped devices are open. This
is incorrect, and can lead to an oops if the module is unloaded while mapped

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size.
Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure
consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two.
Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace
does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst
other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported.
The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place,
removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the
correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chun
size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into
is reinitialised to the correct size.

Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks.
Taken from RHEL4 kernel update.
From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>
For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is
TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for
user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong
for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations
of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately
converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted
yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded.
The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error
paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already
committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the
task's original address space).
The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two
problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be
triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a
malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that
causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec
handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly,
because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec()
failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer
exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate
the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a
fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will
override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space).
The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were
two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior
sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN.
And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.
