[ Upstream commit 876254ae ] bond_update_speed_duplex() might sleep while calling underlying slave's routines. Move it out of atomic context in bond_enslave() and remove it from bond_miimon_commit() - it was introduced by commit 546add79, however when the slave interfaces go up/change state it's their responsibility to fire NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGE events so that bonding can properly update their speed. I've tested it on all combinations of ifup/ifdown, autoneg/speed/duplex changes, remote-controlled and local, on (not) MII-based cards. All changes are visible. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 3f315bef ] __netpoll_cleanup() is called in netconsole_netdev_event() while holding a spinlock. Release/acquire the spinlock before/after it and restart the loop. Also, disable the netconsole completely, because we won't have chance after the restart of the loop, and might end up in a situation where nt->enabled == 1 and nt->np.dev == NULL. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4660c7f4 ] This is needed in order to detect if the timestamp option appears more than once in a packet, to remove the option if the packet is fragmented, etc. My previous change neglected to store the option location when the router addresses were prespecified and Pointer > Length. But now the option location is also stored when Flag is an unrecognized value, to ensure these option handling behaviors are still performed. Signed-off-by:

commit f6a70a07 upstream. Our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation calls __tlb_flush_mm() with &init_mm as argument. __tlb_flush_mm() however will only flush tlbs for the passed in mm if its mm_cpumask is not empty. For the init_mm however its mm_cpumask has never any bits set. Which in turn means that our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation doesn't work at all. This can be easily verified with a vmalloc/vfree loop which allocates a page, writes to it and then frees the page again. A crash will follow almost instantly. To fix this remove the cpumask_empty() check in __tlb_flush_mm() since there shouldn't be too many mms with a zero mm_cpumask, besides the init_mm of course. Signed-off-by:

commit d627b62f upstream. This is rather a hack to fix brightness hotkeys on a Clevo laptop. CADL is not used anywhere in the driver code at the moment, but it could be used in BIOS as is the case with the Clevo laptop. The Clevo B7130 requires the CADL field to contain at least the ID of the LCD device. If this field is empty, the ACPI methods that are called on pressing brightness / display switching hotkeys will not trigger a notification. As a result, it appears as no hotkey has been pressed.

In fact, all in-kernel drivers fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible bytes.

[ Upstream commit 8b82547e ] The sendmsg() syscall handler for PPPoL2TP doesn't decrease the socket reference counter after successful transmissions. Any successful sendmsg() call from userspace will then increase the reference counter forever, thus preventing the kernel's session and tunnel data from being freed later on. The problem only happens when writing directly on L2TP sockets. PPP sockets attached to L2TP are unaffected as the PPP subsystem uses pppol2tp_xmit() which symmetrically increase/decrease reference counters. This patch adds the missing call to sock_put() before returning from pppol2tp_sendmsg(). Signed-off-by:

commit 2a6e06b2 upstream. Commit 1d9d8639 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering. init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single() ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead. This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 1d9d8639 upstream. This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

commit b81273a1 upstream. Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we have a race here. What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two scenarios: * `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode, but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or * `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave TTY and resets master's packet mode. The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases, by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to such a messed telnet setup, they see the following: inux login: ogin incorrect Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it. SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close. By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login. Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would better have a long time testing before goes upstream.

commit 0720a06a upstream. The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a different patch. Signed-off-by:

commit bc178622 upstream. Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me: # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2 ... unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it. Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount path: btrfs_close_devices __btrfs_close_devices call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device); free_device INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device); schedule_work(&device->rcu_work); so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put. Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once unmount completes. Signed-off-by:

commit b1a66504 upstream. When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter, loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some garbage in the misc device list. Test case: sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024 (failed due to invalid parameter) sudo modprobe loop (oops) Clean up nicely to avoid such oops. Signed-off-by:

commit 5370019d upstream. bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order. Path #1: blkdev_open blkdev_get __blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex) lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex) Path #2: blkdev_ioctl lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex) lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex) Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of lo_ctl_mutex. This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake. The patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123806169129727&w=2 Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

commit d646a02a upstream. blkdev_ioctl(GETBLKSIZE) uses i_size_read() to read size of block device. If we update block size directly, reader may see intermediate result in some machines and configurations. Use i_size_write() instead. Signed-off-by:

commit 08e34eb1 upstream. After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However, if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's peers become unable to talk to the guest. A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is: (1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the bridge; and (2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move to Connected. These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already satisfied by commit f942dc25 in Linus' tree, based on commit 6b0b80ca7165 from [1]. In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because, according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6 guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream.
