So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of
events goes like this:
1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko
2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket,
increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count
3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module
in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine,
which calls nf_unregister_sockopt
4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the
calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the
socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel
4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls
ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load
ip_tables_nat.ko
5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and
blocks until modprobe exits.
6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of
ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one.
7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it
blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in
step 3)
Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've
developed a two part solution that corrects the problem
Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a
use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer
to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt
calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4
from happening.
Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking
remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity
request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you
can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since
root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876
Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an
interface is more than 60-80 (in fact it depends on broadcast/label etc
presence on each address).
Steps to reproduce:
It's terribly simple to reproduce:
# for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done
# ip addr show
this will _not_ show all IPs.
Looks like the problem is in netlink/ipv4 message processing.
This is fix from bug submitter, it looks correct.

When msg_iovlen is zero we shouldn't try to dereference
msg_iov. Right now the only thing that tries to do so
is skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec. Since the total
length should also be zero if msg_iovlen is zero, it's
sufficient to check the total length there and simply
return if it's zero.

A hardware bug was revealed after a recent PCI MSI patch was made to
always disable legacy INTX when enabling MSI. The 5714/5780 chips
will not generate MSI when INTX is disabled, causing MSI failure
messages to be reported, and another patch was made to workaround the
problem by disabling MSI on ServerWorks HT1000 bridge chips commonly
found with the 5714.
We workaround this chip bug by enabling INTX after we enable MSI and
after we resume from suspend.
Update version to 3.81.
This problem was discovered by David Miller.

In the case when an nmi gets stucks the endflag stays equal to zero.
This causes the busy looping on other cpus to continue, even though the

Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the kernel would
get stuck during boot. The issue is related to errata AE49, where the
PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a working enable bit. Thus it is not
possible to use it for NMI.
The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls back to
using PERFEVTSEL0. The other Intel processors supporting the
architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this allows other
subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for PEBS monitoring in
particular. Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.

fsid_source decided where to get the 'fsid' number to
return for a GETATTR based on the type of filehandle.
It can be from the device, from the fsid, or from the
UUID.
It is possible for the filehandle to be inconsistent
with the export information, so make sure the export information
actually has the info implied by the value returned by
fsid_source.

When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.
A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.
Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

Fix "lost" interrupt problem when using dma with CD/DVD drives in some
configurations. This problem can make installing linux from media
impossible for distro's that have switched to libata-only configurations.
The simple fix is to eliminate the use of dma for reading drive status, etc,
by checking the number of bytes to transferred.
This change will only affect the behavior of atapi devices, not disks.

Following a strict interpretation the empty definition of irq_enable_hazard
has always been a bug - but an intentional one because it didn't bite.
This has now changed, for uniprocessor kernels mm/slab.c:do_drain()
[...]
on_each_cpu(do_drain, cachep, 1, 1);
check_irq_on();
[...]
may be compiled into a mtc0 c0_status; mfc0 c0_status sequence resulting
in a back-to-back hazard.

Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code.
The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id
collisions if two devices share the same location code. The OFDT
full_name, however, is unique, so we use that instead (truncating it
on the left if it is too long).

On PS3, A storage device may show up in the repository before the hypervisor
has finished probing:
- If its type is not yet known, it shows up as PS3_DEV_TYPE_STOR_DUMMY,
- If its regions are being probed, it shows up as having zero regions.
If any of these happen, consider the device not yet present. The storage
probe thread will retry later.
This fixes the timing-dependent problem where a kernel booted from FLASH ROM
sometimes cannot find the hard disk.

does not make the master run control available to Linux.
This change makes SPE apps work again by disabling changes to the

interrupt.
The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt
is edge-triggered. The current spu interrupt handler assumes this
behavior and does not clear the interrupt status.
The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return
from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual
interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not
been cleared. This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt
handler.

This fixes a bug in the way i2c-algo-bit handles I2C_M_RECV_LEN,
used to implement i2c_smbus_read_block_data(). Previously, in the
absence of PEC (rarely used!) it would NAK the "length" byte:
S addr Rd [A] [length] NA
That prevents the subsequent data bytes from being read:
S addr Rd [A] [length] { A [data] }* NA
The primary fix just reorders two code blocks, so the length used
in the "should I NAK now?" check incorporates the data which it
just read from the slave device.
However, that move also highlighted other fault handling glitches.
This fixes those by abstracting the RX path ack/nak logic, so it
can be used in more than one location. Also, a few CodingStyle
issues were also resolved.
