2007-09-23[MTD] [OneNAND] fix numerous racesArtem Bityutskiy
This patch make the OneNAND driver much less racy. It fixes our "onenand_wait: read timeout!" heisenbugs. The reason of these bugs was that the driver did not lock the chip when accessing OTP, and it screwed up OneNAND state when the OTP was read while JFFS2 was doing FS checking. This patch also fixes other races I spotted: 1. BBT was not protected 2. Access to ecc_stats was not protected Now the chip is locked when BBT is accessed. To fix all of these I basically split all interface functions on 'function()' and 'function_nolock()' parts. I tested this patch on N800 hardware - it fixes our problems. But I tested a little different version because our OneNAND codebase is slightly out-of-date. But it should be OK. This patch also includes the prin fixes I posted before.

2007-09-23[MTD] map driver for NOR flash on the Intel Vermilion Range chipsetDavid Woodhouse
The Vermilion Range Expansion Bus supports four chip selects, each of which has 64MiB of address space. The 2nd BAR of the Expansion Bus PCI Device is a 256MiB memory region containing the address spaces for all four of the chip selects, with start addresses hardcoded on 64MiB boundaries. This map driver only supports NOR flash on chip select 0. The buswidth (either 8 bits or 16 bits) is determined by reading the Expansion Bus Timing and Control Register for Chip Select 0 (EXP_TIMING_CS0).

2007-09-23[MTD] fix CFI point method for discontiguous mapsAndy Lowe
The CFI probe routine is capable of detecting flash banks consisting of identical chips mapped to physically discontiguous addresses. (One common way this can occur is if a flash bank is populated with chips of less capacity than the hardware was designed to support.) The CFI point() routine currently ignores any such gaps. This patch fixes the CFI point() routine so that it truncates any request that would span a gap.

2007-09-06[MTD] [NAND] nandsim: avoid deadlocking FSArtem Bityutskiy
Make nandsim use GFP_NOFS when allocating memory, because it might be used by a file-system (e.g. UBIFS2) which means, if we are short of memory, we may deadlock. Indee, UBIFS is holding a lock, writes to the media, reaches this place in NANDsim, kmalloc does not find the requested amount of RAM, calls memory shrinker, which decides to writeback inodes, calls FS, and it deadlocks on the lock which is already being held. Below is the UBIFS backtrace which demonstrates that: [<c03717dc>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xc8/0x2e6 [<c0371a16>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f [<f8b9d076>] reserve_space+0x3d/0xa9 [ubifs] [<f8b9d1bd>] make_one_reservation+0x2b/0x86 [ubifs] [<f8b9d3fc>] ubifs_jrn_write_block+0xda/0x12f [ubifs] [<f8b9ff3a>] ubifs_writepage+0x11d/0x1ec [ubifs] [<c015d6ab>] shrink_inactive_list+0x7fa/0x969 [<c015d8c8>] shrink_zone+0xae/0x10c [<c015e3b4>] try_to_free_pages+0x159/0x251 [<c015980a>] __alloc_pages+0x125/0x2f0 [<c016ff6a>] cache_alloc_refill+0x380/0x6ba [<c01703f3>] __kmalloc+0x14f/0x157 [<f885722a>] do_state_action+0xab7/0xc74 [nandsim] [<f885760c>] switch_state+0x225/0x402 [nandsim] [<f8857e7e>] ns_hwcontrol+0x3e2/0x620 [nandsim] [<f8862f53>] nand_command+0x2e/0x1a5 [nand] [<f8861ad8>] nand_write_page+0x4a/0x9a [nand] [<f88617b4>] nand_do_write_ops+0x1cf/0x343 [nand] [<f8861a70>] nand_write+0x88/0xa6 [nand] [<f8850b0e>] part_write+0x72/0x8b [mtd] [<f88e19c5>] ubi_io_write+0x189/0x29c [ubi] [<f88dfb98>] ubi_eba_write_leb+0xb6/0x699 [ubi] [<f88def93>] ubi_leb_write+0xe4/0xe9 [ubi] [<f8ba3b82>] ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock+0x333/0x4c9 [ubifs] [<f8b9d28c>] write_node+0x74/0x8e [ubifs] [<f8b9d422>] ubifs_jrn_write_block+0x100/0x12f [ubifs] [<f8b9ff3a>] ubifs_writepage+0x11d/0x1ec [ubifs] [<c0159e5b>] __writepage+0xb/0x26 [<c015a318>] write_cache_pages+0x203/0x2d9 [<c015a411>] generic_writepages+0x23/0x2d [<c015a452>] do_writepages+0x37/0x39 [<c018e24a>] __writeback_single_inode+0x96/0x399 [<c018e903>] sync_sb_inodes+0x1a3/0x274 [<c018ebf3>] writeback_inodes+0xa6/0xd8 [<c015a9dd>] background_writeout+0x86/0x9e [<c015ae9c>] pdflush+0xfb/0x1b6 [<c01387d7>] kthread+0x37/0x59 [<c0104dc3>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x14 The deadlock is funny because it starts in pdflush/writeback, and comes back to writeback, then deadlocks.

2007-09-06[MTD] Fix CFI build error when no map width or interleave supportedDavid Woodhouse
When building NOR flash support, you have compile-time options for the bus width and the number of individual chips which are interleaved together onto that bus. The code to deal with arbitrary geometry is a bit convoluted, and people want to just configure it for the specific hardware they have, to avoid the runtime overhead. Selecting _none_ of the available options doesn't make any sense. You should have at least one. This makes it build though, since people persist in trying.

Raw flash access in a cheap USB cardreader! An MTD test device one can attach to a PC! What a deal!

2007-08-22Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLEMel Gorman
The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the zone is used. This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real" zone, it's always functionally equivalent. The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are patched to wait for vmstat counters to update. akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23. Christoph says "For .24 either merge the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on. That solution would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly. That may help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

de_thread: if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1) BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1); This is not safe without the rmb() in between. The results of two correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen out of order on our CPU. The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count). On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy. Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) ); Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.

2007-08-22autofs4: deadlock during createIan Kent
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter. The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon as it can't know whether it owns the mutex. This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory. After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

2007-08-22uml: fix previous request size limit fixJeff Dike
The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in the wrong place. By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was specified on the command line. However, when the command line only has the COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's opened, so the limit is missed in these cases. This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

2007-08-22signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers schedulingOleg Nesterov
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd, even if it was created by another sub-thread. To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the previous patch. If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer and free its memory in between. As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not good.

2007-08-22posix-timers: fix deletion raceThomas Gleixner
timer_delete does: lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); release_posix_timer(); timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the timer before the lock code can check the timer: CPU 0 CPU 1 lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); lock_timer() spin_lock(idr_lock); timer = idr_find(); spin_lock(timer->lock); spin_unlock(idr_lock); release_posix_timer(); spin_lock(idr_lock); idr_remove(timer); spin_unlock(idr_lock); free_timer(timer); if (timer->......) Change the locking to prevent this.

2007-08-22Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATUREGeert Uytterhoeven
Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature() and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb(). Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature() select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

Don't include RODATA into text segment as it includes the kallsyms data and can cause spurious link failures (layout differences can change the number of symbols in kallsyms, i.e. when a symbol is equal to _etext it's not included).

2007-08-22remove dead code in via-pmu68kJohannes Berg
When suspend is ever implemented for pmu68k it really should follow the generic pm_ops concept and not mirror the platform-specific /dev/pmu device with ioctls on it. Hence, this patch removes the unused code there; should the implementers need it they can look at via-pmu.c and/or the history of the file.
