2010-04-26KVM: Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200Sridhar Samudrala
(Cherry-picked from commit e80e2a60ff7914dae691345a976c80bbbff3ec74) This patch increases the current hardcoded limit of NR_IOBUS_DEVS from 6 to 200. We are hitting this limit when creating a guest with more than 1 virtio-net device using vhost-net backend. Each virtio-net device requires 2 such devices to service notifications from rx/tx queues.

2010-04-26KVM: fix the handling of dirty bitmaps to avoid overflowsTakuya Yoshikawa
(Cherry-picked from commit 87bf6e7de1134f48681fd2ce4b7c1ec45458cb6d) Int is not long enough to store the size of a dirty bitmap. This patch fixes this problem with the introduction of a wrapper function to calculate the sizes of dirty bitmaps. Note: in mark_page_dirty(), we have to consider the fact that __set_bit() takes the offset as int, not long.

2010-04-26module: fix __module_ref_addr()Mathieu Desnoyers
The __module_ref_addr() problem disappears in 2.6.34-rc kernels because these percpu accesses were re-factored. __module_ref_addr() should use per_cpu_ptr() to obfuscate the pointer (RELOC_HIDE is needed for per cpu pointers). This non-standard per-cpu pointer use has been introduced by commit 720eba31f47aeade8ec130ca7f4353223c49170f It causes a NULL pointer exception on some configurations when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled on 2.6.33. This patch fixes the problem (acknowledged by Randy who reported the bug). It did not appear to hurt previously because most of the accesses were done through local_inc, which probably obfuscated the access enough that no compiler optimizations were done. But with local_read() done when CONFIG_TRACING is active, this becomes a problem. Non-CONFIG_TRACING is probably affected as well (module.c contains local_set and local_read that use __module_ref_addr()), but I guess nobody noticed because we've been lucky enough that the compiler did not generate the inappropriate optimization pattern there. This patch should be queued for the 2.6.29.x through 2.6.33.x stable branches.

2010-04-26NFSv4: fix delegated lockingTrond Myklebust
commit 0df5dd4aae211edeeeb84f7f84f6d093406d7c22 upstream. Arnaud Giersch reports that NFSv4 locking is broken when we hold a delegation since commit 8e469ebd6dc32cbaf620e134d79f740bf0ebab79 (NFSv4: Don't allow posix locking against servers that don't support it). According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file (since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using delegated opens. The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.

2010-04-26raw: fsync method is now requiredAnton Blanchard
commit 55ab3a1ff843e3f0e24d2da44e71bffa5d853010 upstream. Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

2010-04-26Freezer: Fix buggy resume test for tasks frozen with cgroup freezerMatt Helsley
commit 5a7aadfe2fcb0f69e2acc1fbefe22a096e792fc9 upstream. When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates that the task should remain frozen. This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this transition before suspend. NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons: Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen. Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered. Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

2010-04-01net: add limit for socket backlogZhu Yi
[ Upstream commit 8eae939f1400326b06d0c9afe53d2a484a326871 ] We got system OOM while running some UDP netperf testing on the loopback device. The case is multiple senders sent stream UDP packets to a single receiver via loopback on local host. Of course, the receiver is not able to handle all the packets in time. But we surprisingly found that these packets were not discarded due to the receiver's sk->sk_rcvbuf limit. Instead, they are kept queuing to sk->sk_backlog and finally ate up all the memory. We believe this is a secure hole that a none privileged user can crash the system. The root cause for this problem is, when the receiver is doing __release_sock() (i.e. after userspace recv, kernel udp_recvmsg -> skb_free_datagram_locked -> release_sock), it moves skbs from backlog to sk_receive_queue with the softirq enabled. In the above case, multiple busy senders will almost make it an endless loop. The skbs in the backlog end up eat all the system memory. The issue is not only for UDP. Any protocols using socket backlog is potentially affected. The patch adds limit for socket backlog so that the backlog size cannot be expanded endlessly.

2010-04-01tty: Take a 256 byte padding into account when buffering below sub-page unitsMel Gorman
commit 352fa6ad16b89f8ffd1a93b4419b1a8f2259feab upstream. The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of "TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find() rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on the size of the tty_buffer. This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc() should not require high-order allocations.

2010-03-15x86: Avoid race condition in pci_enable_msix()Brandon Phiilps
commit ced5b697a76d325e7a7ac7d382dbbb632c765093 upstream. Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq. When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via pci_enable_msix() there is a race. See this dmesg excerpt: [ 85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170611] alloc irq_desc for 99 on node -1 [ 85.170613] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 98 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170614] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170616] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170617] alloc irq_desc for 100 on node -1 [ 85.170619] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170621] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170625] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 99 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170626] alloc irq_desc for 101 on node -1 [ 85.170628] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 100 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170630] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170631] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170635] alloc irq_desc for 102 on node -1 [ 85.170636] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170639] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000088 As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr() via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function. ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data = NULL via dynamic_irq_init(). igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this: cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data; if (cfg_new->vector != 0) continue; This hits the NULL deref. Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs(): destroy_irq() dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL ...race window... desc->chip_data = cfg; Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

2010-03-15skbuff: align sk_buff::cb to 64 bit and close some potential holesFelix Fietkau
commit da3f5cf1f8ebb0fab5c5fd09adb189166594ad6c upstream. The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-15tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5Jeff Mahoney
commit 86c38a31aa7f2dd6e74a262710bf8ebf7455acc5 upstream. GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes. For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array. When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer. This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures to 4 bytes. Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with gcc 4.5. It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

2010-03-15perf: Reimplement frequency driven samplingPeter Zijlstra
commit abd50713944c8ea9e0af5b7bffa0aacae21cc91a upstream. There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all() or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles. In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot. The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division. The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits fashion, taking care to balance the terms while truncating. This version does not generate that sampling artefact.

2010-03-15readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOMWu Fengguang
commit 0141450f66c3c12a3aaa869748caa64241885cdf upstream. This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance: a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads. In other places, ra_pages==0 means - it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs - some IO error happened where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the *heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully submit read IO for whatever application requests. So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO size is not limited by read_ahead_kb). In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall (NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

Most laptops have keys that are intended to toggle all device state, not just wifi. These are currently generally mapped to KEY_WLAN. As a result, rfkill will only kill or enable wifi in response to the key press. This confuses users and can make it difficult for them to enable bluetooth and wwan devices. This patch adds a new keycode, KEY_RFKILL. It indicates that the system should toggle the state of all rfkillable devices.
