2008-07-08ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timerAndrey Vagin
Consider the following scenario: ipv6_del_addr(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp) ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt) after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the ifp->timer fires and: addrconf_dad_timer(ifp) addrconf_dad_completed(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp) ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt) then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and: in6_ifa_put(ifp) inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp) dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst) After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught only the oops in gc so far. The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the rt from it.

2008-07-08RDMA/cxgb3: Fix regression caused by class_device -> device conversionSteve Wise
The change to iwch_provider.c in commit f4e91eb4 ("IB: convert struct class_device to struct device") undid the fix done in commit 7f049f2f ("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call"). It removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool ops calls into the cxgb3 driver. This locking is needed to avoid messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.

With the removal of struct file from the xattr code, reiserfs_file_release() isn't used anymore, so the prealloc isn't discarded. This causes hangs later down the line.

2008-07-08NFS: Fix readdir cache invalidationTrond Myklebust
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte ranges. Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on page->index==0. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings. Actually, rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result. While at it, also: - give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name; - get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable; - drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-) Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Cc: mcherkashin@ru.mvista.com Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

2008-07-06vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formatsLinus Torvalds
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-06vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiersLinus Torvalds
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some specific pointer type extensions. NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer type and the extension are compatible). Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have traditionally resulted in).

2008-07-06KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hangMark McLoughlin
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.

2008-07-05Fix pagemap_read() use of struct mm_walkAndrew Morton
Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey: - initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as advertised - initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in pagemap_pte_hole() - unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't have permissions) - pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one looks unneeded. - avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.
