On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid, we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat /dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates that this problem has been around even before. So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a deadlock. I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git (2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on 2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a stable system.

The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17 but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good plan. Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways. Signed-off-by: -

Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are done to the start virtual address translated to physical. This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch this if a similar situation is encountered. Signed-off-by:

Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks. Taken from RHEL4 kernel update. For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded. The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the task's original address space). The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly, because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec() failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space). The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN. And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

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.

[SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages. This problem was introduced by changeset 14778d90 Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range(). It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by io_remap_pfn_range(). The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that. Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and testing debug patches. Signed-off-by:

Disable TSO by default on some chips due to hardware errata. Enabling TSO can lead to tx timeouts in some cases when the TSO header size exceeds 80 bytes on the affected chips. This limit can be exceeded when the TCP header contains the timestamp option plus 2 SACK blocks, for example. A more complete workaround is available in the next 2.6.18 kernel. Signed-off-by:

The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device, targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting ti->begin. The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

The reference counting on dm-mod is zero if no mapped devices are open. This is incorrect, and can lead to an oops if the module is unloaded while mapped devices exist. This patch claims a reference to the module whenever a device is created, and drops it again when the device is freed. Devices must be removed before dm-mod is unloaded.

There is a chicken and egg problem between the block layer and dm in which the gendisk associated with a mapping keeps a reference-less pointer to the mapped_device.

One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has finished initialising it or while it is being freed. This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor as allocated but in a state where it can't be used, such as mid-allocation or mid-free. At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm subsystem.

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size. Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two. Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported. The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place, removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into) is reinitialised to the correct size.

There are black box devices out there, routers and firewalls and whatnot, that simply cannot grok the TCP window scaling option correctly. People should and do bark at the site running the device causing the problems, but in the mean time folks do want a way to deal with the problem. We don't want them to turn off window scaling completely as that hurts performance of connections that would run just fine with window scaling enabled. So give a way to do this on a per-route basis by limiting the window scaling by the per-connection window clamp. Stephen's changelog message explains how to do this using a route metric. [TCP]: Limit window scaling if window is clamped. This small change allows for easy per-route workarounds for broken hosts or middleboxes that are not compliant with TCP standards for window scaling. Rather than having to turn off window scaling globally. This patch allows reducing or disabling window scaling if window clamp is present. Example: Mark Lord reported a problem with 2.6.17 kernel being unable to access http://www.everymac.com # ip route add 216.145.246.23/32 via 10.8.0.1 window 65535 Signed-off-by:

[INET]: Use pskb_trim_unique when trimming paged unique skbs The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet (since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system). This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions instead. This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim calls with it. Signed-off-by:
