2006-08-07[IPV4]: Limit rt cache size properly.Kirill Korotaev
From: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM and kernel panics. It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and 225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash: syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e. max rt size is 4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone Attached the patch which removes HASH_HIGHMEM flag from alloc_large_system_hash() call.

2006-08-06[PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errorsDavid Woodhouse
While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling; don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_. If the yield() took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy), we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready. This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it. I see nice tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds between successive phases. Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all. We should be using interrupts. That's an exercise for another day though.

2006-08-06[PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in createEric Sandeen
I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw: udf_create udf_new_inode new_inode alloc_inode udf_alloc_inode udf_new_block returns EIO due to readonlyness iput (on error) udf_put_inode udf_discard_prealloc udf_next_aext udf_current_aext udf_get_fileshortad OOPS the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the udf inode. udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard path if no extents are preallocated: if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB || inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode)) { return; } so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode, we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

2006-08-06[PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resourcesmatthieu castet
A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi. Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO. But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type that are not handled by pnp layer. So we should ignore the producer resources. This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292). Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer resources. Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be IO. With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound card). The solution is to ignore producer resources Signed-off-by: Matthieu CASTET <castet.matthieu@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Adam Belay <ambx1@neo.rr.com> Cc: "Brown, Len" <len.brown@intel.com> Acked-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-08-06[PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eofChris Mason

On machines where the page size is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly growing up to a block boundary during writepage.

This patch is for collision check enhancement for memory hot add. It's better to do resouce collision check before doing memory hot add, which will touch memory management structures.

2006-08-06[PATCH] Fix BeFS slab corruptionDiego Calleja
In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported: "The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory corruption. This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...] Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).) Steps to reproduce: Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g., "1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find"" This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly created item that we are never going to use. But as it hasn't been initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops.

2006-08-06[PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-opAndrew Morton
The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the file a single time". It seems to be intended that the implementation will use this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application gets around to reading or writing it. However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED. ie: it does readahead. That's daft. So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op. This is a non-back-compatible change. If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to perform readahead, they lose. The likelihood is low. If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data structures will be interesting.. A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.

2006-08-06[PATCH] ufs: handle truncated pagesEvgeniy Dushistov
ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are reallocated. In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated pages.

2006-08-06[PATCH] ufs: ufs_get_locked_page() race fixEvgeniy Dushistov
As discussed earlier: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136 this patch fixes such issue: `ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache `ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error. Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no need to check it if page not NULL.

2006-08-06[PATCH] bug in futex unqueue_meChristian Borntraeger
This patch adds a barrier() in futex unqueue_me to avoid aliasing of two pointers.

After adding a barrier gcc creates code without this problem: [...] (the same) 3ee: e3 c0 b0 28 00 04 lg %r12,40(%r11) 3f4: b9 02 00 cc ltgr %r12,%r12 3f8: b9 04 00 2c lgr %r2,%r12 3fc: a7 84 00 48 je 48c <unqueue_me+0xc4> 400: c0 e5 00 00 00 00 brasl %r14,400 <unqueue_me+0x38> 402: R_390_PC32DBL _spin_lock+0x2 As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

2006-08-06[PATCH] disable debugging version of write_lock()Andrew Morton
We've confirmed that the debug version of write_lock() can get stuck for long enough to cause NMI watchdog timeouts and hence a crash. We don't know why, yet. Disable it for now. Also disable the similar read_lock() code. Just in case. Thanks to Dave Olson <olson@unixfolk.com> for reporting and testing.

2006-08-06[PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpointRafael J. Wysocki
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process. Ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6787 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-08-05[LAPB]: Fix windowsize checkDiego Calleja
In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue: "Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set. If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false. Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault. This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'. Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found this bug" He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch: Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja <diegocg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
