2007-01-26[PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in mdNeilBrown
If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held, it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate. This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a write-out to the md device. For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that requires getting the mddev_lock. So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

2007-01-26[PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsdNeilBrown
nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg recently changed from ino_t to u64. So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type, change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to 'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking on the calling of these functions now. Less internal (to nfsd) checking offset by more external checking, which is more important. Thanks to Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es> for discovering this and providing an initial patch.

2007-01-26[PATCH] knfsd: fix an NFSD bug with full sized, non-page-aligned readsNeilBrown
NFSd assumes that largest number of pages that will be needed for a request+response is 2+N where N pages is the size of the largest permitted read/write request. The '2' are 1 for the non-data part of the request, and 1 for the non-data part of the reply. However, when a read request is not page-aligned, and we choose to use ->sendfile to send it directly from the page cache, we may need N+1 pages to hold the whole reply. This can overflow and array and cause an Oops. This patch increases size of the array for holding pages by one and makes sure that entry is NULL when it is not in use.

2007-01-23[NETFILTER]: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRISPatrick McHardy
With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger. On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility with old iptables binaries. Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

2007-01-23[PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmappedVladimir Saveliev
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

libata didn't used to init qc->dma_dir to any specific value on qc initialization and command translation path didn't set qc->dma_dir if the command doesn't need data transfer. This made non-data commands to have random qc->dma_dir. This usually doesn't cause problem because LLDs usually check qc->protocol first and look at qc->dma_dir iff the command needs data transfer but this doesn't hold for all LLDs. It might be worthwhile to rename qc->dma_dir to qc->data_dir as we use the field to tag data direction for both PIO and DMA protocols. This problem has been spotted by James Bottomley.

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to cope in some way with non-current processes. It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to the process that we want the flush to occur for. Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2007-01-05[PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt responseDor Laor
The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under the following circumstances: - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear, or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags, but the other cases or not testable under the current API. - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably never happens under normal guests. - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that it can be handled by the host. In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest. This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field of the fsinfo structure on Linux: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.

2007-01-04ACPI: Altix: ACPI _PRT supportJohn Keller
Provide ACPI _PRT support for SN Altix systems. The SN Altix platform does not conform to the IOSAPIC IRQ routing model, so a new acpi_irq_model (ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) has been defined. The SN platform specific code sets acpi_irq_model to this new value, and keys off of it in acpi_register_gsi() to avoid the iosapic code path.

2006-12-31[NET]: Don't export linux/random.h outside __KERNEL__.David Woodhouse
Don't add it there please; add it lower down inside the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__. You just made the _userspace_ net.h include random.h, which then fails to compile unless <asm/types.h> was already included.

2006-12-31[NET]: Add memory barrrier to netif_poll_enable()David S. Miller
When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that all previous stores and modifications they've made will be visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this. Noticed by Ben H. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-12-30[PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes"David Brownell
Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are (from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads. Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from "undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing, and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels. This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.
