2007-03-21[CRYPTO] doc: Fix typo in hash exampleJohannes Schlumberger
there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt. The file has the following example code: struct scatterlist sg[2]; [...] if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result)) which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in include/linux/crypto.h. (static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc, struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out) The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself. I have attached a patch to fix this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-03-21[CRYPTO] api: scatterwalk_copychunks() fails to advance through scatterlistJ. Bruce Fields
In the loop in scatterwalk_copychunks(), if walk->offset is zero, then scatterwalk_pagedone rounds that up to the nearest page boundary: walk->offset += PAGE_SIZE - 1; walk->offset &= PAGE_MASK; which is a no-op in this case, so we don't advance to the next element of the scatterlist array: if (walk->offset >= walk->sg->offset + walk->sg->length) scatterwalk_start(walk, sg_next(walk->sg)); and we end up copying the same data twice. It appears that other callers of scatterwalk_{page}done first advance walk->offset, so I believe that's the correct thing to do here. This caused a bug in NFS when run with krb5p security, which would cause some writes to fail with permissions errors--for example, writes of less than 8 bytes (the des blocksize) at the start of a file. A git-bisect shows the bug was originally introduced by 5c64097aa0f6dc4f27718ef47ca9a12538d62860, first in 2.6.19-rc1. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-03-18[PATCH] tty: Fix two reported pid leaksEric W. Biederman
These leaks were reported by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marians@gmail.com> and I have been able to very by inspection they are possible. When converting tty_io.c to store pids as struct pid pointers instead of pid_t values it appears I overlooked two places where we stop using the pid value. The very obvious one is in do_tty_hangup, and the one the less obvious one in __proc_set_tty. When looking into the code __proc_set_tty only has pids that need to be put because of failures of other parts of the code to properly perform hangup processing. Fixing the leak here in __proc_set_tty is easy and obviously correct so I am doing that first. Fixing the places that should be performing hangup processing is much less obviously correct. So those I'm aiming those patches at -mm. for now, so the can age a while before they are merged. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-03-18[PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timerThomas Gleixner
When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the observed false positives. We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10, which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel configuration. The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process. Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

2007-03-18KVM: MMU: Fix host memory corruption on i386 with >= 4GB ramAvi Kivity
PAGE_MASK is an unsigned long, so using it to mask physical addresses on i386 (which are 64-bit wide) leads to truncation. This can result in page->private of unrelated memory pages being modified, with disasterous results.

2007-03-18KVM: MMU: Fix guest writes to nonpae pdeAvi Kivity
KVM shadow page tables are always in pae mode, regardless of the guest setting. This means that a guest pde (mapping 4MB of memory) is mapped to two shadow pdes (mapping 2MB each). When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it. We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the mmu did not account for the doubling in the number of pdes, it removed the wrong entry, resulting in a mismatch between shadow page tables and guest page tables, followed shortly by guest memory corruption. This patch fixes the problem by detecting the special case of writing to a non-pae pde and adjusting the address and number of shadow pdes zapped accordingly.

2007-03-17ide: remove CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO config optionsBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
All modern distributions have been setting these options to "y" for ages. (additionally "n" cases have been obsoleted for few years). Therefore use DMA by default and remove CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO (also remove no longer needed CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO). This fixes DMA support for rare configurations where CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO was set to "n" but "hdparm -d 1" was used to enable DMA support and which were forced to PIO mode by "ide: don't allow DMA to be enabled if CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=n" patch. There is no functionality loss because "ide=nodma" kernel option is still available.

2007-03-17ide: don't allow DMA to be enabled if CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=nBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
For CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=n and/or "ide=nodma" option the host/device are not programmed for DMA and it is also explicitly disabled by ide_set_dma() (->ide_dma_check returns "-1"). However the code responsible for manually enabling DMA ("hdparm -d 1") has a bug which results in DMA being erroneously enabled - ide_set_dma() incorrectly passes "0" return value to set_using_dma(). This may work if BIOS/firmware configured the host/device for DMA and chipset allows independent configuration of DMA/PIO modes but won't work after suspend and is generally unsafe on many chipsets (possibly including data corruption if the same registers are used for DMA/PIO timings). This patch fixes kernel bugzilla bug #8169 (piix host driver fixes for setting PIO mode exposed the problem described above). The side-effect of the fix is that some rare configuration may be forced to PIO mode when DMA mode was previously used - this is addressed by the next patch which removes CONFIG_IDEDMA_{PCI,ICS}_AUTO config option completely. Thanks goes out to Patrick Horn for reporting the issue, narrowing it down to the specific commit and testing the fix. Also thanks to Sergei Shtylyov for help in debugging the problem.

2007-03-17cmd64x: fix recovery time calculation (take 3)Sergei Shtylyov
The driver wrongly takes the address setup time into account when calculating the PIO recovery time -- this leads to slight overclocking of the PIO modes 0 and 1 (so, the prayers failed to help, as usual :-). Rework the code to be calculating recovery clock count as a difference between the total cycle count and the active count (we don't need to calculate the recovery time itself since it's not specified for the PIO modes 0 to 2, and for modes 3 and 4 this formula gives enough recovery time anyway in the chip's supported PCI frequency range). This patch has been inspired by reading the datasheets and looking at what the libata driver does; it has been compile-tested only (as usual :-) but anyway, the new code gives the same or longer recovery times than the old one...

2007-03-16[PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangsThomas Gleixner
I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the code and the bug reports what's going on. The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion, when the non boot CPU is brought back up. The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp. nohz mode were simply wrong. Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic modes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-03-16[PATCH] fix process crash caused by randomisation and 64k pagesJames Bottomley
This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within 0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this is 128MB. The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away. The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're still losing the random offset of up to 8MB. The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the architectures.

2007-03-16[PATCH] Initialise SAK member for each virtual console to prevent oopsBernhard Walle
Initialise the SAK member of the vc_cons variable on all virtual terminals, not only the first one. This prevents an oops when trying Sysrq-C on e.g. the second virtual terminal: kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:212! invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 Modules linked in: i915 drm deflate zlib_deflate twofish twofish_common serpent blowfish des ce Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.21-rc3-default #15 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8028c955>] [<ffffffff8028c955>] queue_work+0x32/0x51 RSP: 0018:ffffffff805fada8 EFLAGS: 00010013 RAX: ffffffff80683f38 RBX: ffffffff804ae700 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff80683f30 RDI: ffff81000134a840 RBP: 0000000000000001 R08: 0000000000000005 R09: 0000000000000002 R10: ffffffff805990e0 R11: ffff810037f4c0f0 R12: 000000000000006b R13: ffff81007aa23000 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 0000000000000096 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff804d8000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00002b72026e9000 CR3: 0000000079175000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo ffffffff8059e000, task ffffffff80490840) Stack: 0000000000000096 ffffffff803635db ffffffff805fadf8 0000000000000001 ffff8100013c2e40 0000000000000025 ffff81007c931c00 ffff81007aa23000 0000000000000001 ffffffff8035e3ee 0000000000000092 ffff810037cc8000 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff803635db>] __handle_sysrq+0x98/0x129 [<ffffffff8035e3ee>] kbd_event+0x32e/0x56a [<ffffffff8037d502>] input_event+0x422/0x44a [<ffffffff80381d71>] atkbd_interrupt+0x449/0x503 [<ffffffff8037a42d>] serio_interrupt+0x37/0x6f [<ffffffff8037affb>] i8042_interrupt+0x1f4/0x20a [<ffffffff8026bd20>] smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi+0x2d/0x4e [<ffffffff8020eee5>] handle_IRQ_event+0x25/0x53 [<ffffffff802a924c>] handle_edge_irq+0xe4/0x128 [<ffffffff802562ac>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffff802632eb>] do_IRQ+0x6c/0xd3 [<ffffffff8024f4e7>] mwait_idle+0x0/0x45 [<ffffffff80255631>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff80248a4d>] datagram_poll+0x0/0xc8 [<ffffffff8024f529>] mwait_idle+0x42/0x45 [<ffffffff80242c05>] cpu_idle+0x8b/0xae [<ffffffff805a8779>] start_kernel+0x2b9/0x2c5 [<ffffffff805a815e>] _sinittext+0x15e/0x162 Code: 0f 0b eb fe 48 8b 07 48 63 d2 48 f7 d0 48 8b 3c d0 e8 13 ff RIP [<ffffffff8028c955>] queue_work+0x32/0x51 RSP <ffffffff805fada8> Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

2007-03-16[PATCH] nfs: nfs_getattr() can't call nfs_sync_mapping_range() for ↵Trond Myklebust
non-regular files Looks like we need a check in nfs_getattr() for a regular file. It makes no sense to call nfs_sync_mapping_range() on anything else. I think that should fix your problem: it will stop the NFS client from interfering with dirty pages on that inode's mapping.

2007-03-16[PATCH] nfs: fix congestion controlPeter Zijlstra
The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it implements its own waitqueue. Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue. Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

2007-03-16[PATCH] fix rescan_partitions to return errors properlysuzuki
The only error code which comes from the partition checkers is -1, when they finds an EIO. As per the discussion, ENOMEM values were ignored, as they might scare the users. So, with the current code, we end up returning -1 and not EIO for the ioctl() calls. Which doesn't give any clue to the user of what went wrong.

2007-03-16[PATCH] swsusp: fix suspend when console is in VT_AUTO+KD_GRAPHICS modeAndrew Johnson
When the console is in VT_AUTO+KD_GRAPHICS mode, switching to the SUSPEND_CONSOLE fails, resulting in vt_waitactive() waiting indefinitely or until the task is interrupted. This patch tests if a console switch can occur in set_console() and returns early if a console switch is not possible.

2007-03-16[PATCH] smbfs: double free memory corruptionVasily Averin
smbfs allocates rq_trans2buffer to handle server's multi transaction2 response messages. As struct smb_request may be reused, rq_trans2buffer is freed before each new request. However if last servers's response is not multi but single trans2 message then new rq_trans2buffer is not allocated but last smb_rput still tries to free it again. To prevent this issue rq_trans2buffer pointer should be set to NULL after kfree.

2007-03-16[PATCH] eCryptfs: fix possible NULL ptr deref in ecryptfs_d_release()Michael Halcrow
ecryptfs_d_release() first dereferences a pointer (via ecryptfs_dentry_to_lower()) and then afterwards checks to see if the pointer it just dereferenced is NULL (via ecryptfs_dentry_to_private()). This patch moves all of the work done on the dereferenced pointer inside a block governed by the condition that the pointer is non-NULL.
