If blk_init_queue fails, we do not call put_disk on the current dr (dr is decremented first in the error handling loop).

Since commit 070ad7e7 ("floppy: convert to delayed work and single-thread wq"), we end up calling alloc_ordered_workqueue multiple times inside the loop, which shouldn't be intended. Besides the leak, other side effect in the current code is if blk_init_queue fails, we would end up calling unregister_blkdev even if we didn't call yet register_blkdev. Just moved the allocation of floppy_wq before the loop, and adjusted the code accordingly.

When flushing plug-list,because elv_attempt_insert_merge only support backmerge,not supporting frontmerge. So rq[7493120 + 24] can't merge with rq[7493144 + 104]. From my test,i found those situation can count 25% in our system. Using this patch, there is no this situation.

__blk_queue_next_rl() finds next request list based on blkg_list while skipping root_blkg in the list. OTOH, root_rl is special as it may exist even without root_blkg. Though the later part of the function handles such a case correctly, exiting early is good for readability of the code.

blk_put_rl() does not call blkg_put() for q->root_rl because we don't take request list reference on q->root_blkg. However, if root_blkg is once attached then detached (freed), blk_put_rl() is confused by the bogus pointer in q->root_blkg. For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING && CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED, switching IO scheduler from cfq to deadline will cause system stall after the following warning with 3.6: > WARNING: at /work/build/linux/block/blk-cgroup.h:250 > blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95() > Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc acpi_cpufreq freq_table mperf > ipt_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 > Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.6.0 #1 > Call Trace: > <IRQ> [<ffffffff810453bd>] warn_slowpath_common+0x85/0x9d > [<ffffffff810453ef>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c > [<ffffffff811d5f8d>] blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95 > [<ffffffff811d614a>] __blk_put_request+0xc3/0xcb > [<ffffffff811d71a3>] blk_finish_request+0x232/0x23f > [<ffffffff811d76c3>] ? blk_end_bidi_request+0x34/0x5d > [<ffffffff811d76d1>] blk_end_bidi_request+0x42/0x5d > [<ffffffff811d7728>] blk_end_request+0x10/0x12 > [<ffffffff812cdf16>] scsi_io_completion+0x207/0x4d5 > [<ffffffff812c6fcf>] scsi_finish_command+0xfa/0x103 > [<ffffffff812ce2f8>] scsi_softirq_done+0xff/0x108 > [<ffffffff811dcea5>] blk_done_softirq+0x8d/0xa1 > [<ffffffff810915d5>] ? > generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x9f/0xd7 > [<ffffffff8104cf5b>] __do_softirq+0x102/0x213 > [<ffffffff8108a5ec>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xb6/0xbb > [<ffffffff8104d2b4>] ? raise_softirq_irqoff+0x9/0x3d > [<ffffffff81424dfc>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 > [<ffffffff81011beb>] do_softirq+0x4b/0xa3 > [<ffffffff8104cdb0>] irq_exit+0x53/0xd5 > [<ffffffff8102d865>] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x34/0x36 > [<ffffffff8142486f>] call_function_single_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 > <EOI> [<ffffffff8101800b>] ? mwait_idle+0x94/0xcd > [<ffffffff81018002>] ? mwait_idle+0x8b/0xcd > [<ffffffff81017811>] cpu_idle+0xbb/0x114 > [<ffffffff81401fbd>] rest_init+0xc1/0xc8 > [<ffffffff81401efc>] ? csum_partial_copy_generic+0x16c/0x16c > [<ffffffff81cdbd3d>] start_kernel+0x3d4/0x3e1 > [<ffffffff81cdb79e>] ? kernel_init+0x1f7/0x1f7 > [<ffffffff81cdb2dd>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xb8/0xbd > [<ffffffff81cdb3e3>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x101/0x110 This patch clears q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg when root blkg is destroyed.

Commit 7f8d4cad ("Input: extend the number of event (and other) devices") made evdev, joydev and mousedev to embed struct cdev into their respective structures representing input devices. Unfortunately character device structure may outlive the parent structure unless we do not set it up as parent of character device so that it will stay pinned until character device is freed. Also, now that parent structure is pinned while character device exists we do not need to pin and unpin it every time user opens or closes it.

In certain cases (for example when a cdev structure is embedded into another object whose lifetime is controlled by a separate kobject) it is beneficial to tie lifetime of another object to the lifetime of character device so that related object is not freed until after char_dev object is freed. To achieve this let's pin kobject's parent when doing cdev_add() and unpin when last reference to cdev structure is being released.

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.

This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp(). This works because at the end of the signature data there is the fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls immediately prior to the magic number. From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module data.

/proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some garbage while scanning. This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end. V2->v3 - updated comments to be more verbose. - removed task_lock() in numa_maps code. V1->V2 - access task->mempolicy only once and remember it. Becase kernel/exit.c can overwrite it.

If there is only one match, the unique matched entry should be returned. Without the fix, the upcoming dma debug interfaces ("dma-debug: new interfaces to debug dma mapping errors") can't work reliably because only device and dma_addr are passed to dma_mapping_error().

Thierry reported that the "iron out" patch for isolate_freepages_block() had problems due to the strict check being too strict with "mm: compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range() -fix1". It's possible that more pages than necessary are isolated but the check still fails and I missed that this fix was not picked up before RC1. This same problem has been identified in 3.7-RC1 by Tony Prisk and should be addressed by the following patch.

free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion: free_pid_ns(parent) put_pid_ns(parent) kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns); free_pid_ns thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a panic eventually. This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop. Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.

Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel stack contents. This fixes it by defensively calculating the length of copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing the stack buffer to zero (now technically unneeded, but hey, overkill).

In commit 0b173bc4 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR") we replaced the VM_CAN_NONLINEAR test with checking whether the mapping has a '->remap_pages()' vm operation, but there is no guarantee that there it even has a vm_ops pointer at all. Add the appropriate test for NULL vm_ops.

Rusty had clearly not actually tested his module signing changes that I (trustingly) applied as commit e2a666d5 ("kbuild: sign the modules at install time"). That commit had multiple bugs: - using "${#VARIABLE}" to get the number of characters in a shell variable may look clever, but it's locale-dependent: it returns the number of *characters*, not bytes. And we do need bytes. So don't use "${#..}" expansion, do the stupid "wc -c" thing instead (where "c" stands for "bytes", not "characters", despite the letter. - Rusty had confused "siglen" and "signerlen", and his conversion didn't set "signerlen" at all, and incorrectly set "siglen" to the size of the signer, not the size of the signature. End result: the modified sign-file script did create something that superficially *looked* like a signature, but didn't actually work at all, and would fail the signature check. Oops. Tssk, tssk, Rusty. But Rusty was definitely right that this whole thing should be rewritten in perl by somebody who has the perl-fu to do so. That is not me, though - I'm just doing an emergency fix for the shell script. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit cb6b6df1 ("xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches.") added the xen_strict_xenbus_quirk() function with an old K&R-style declaration without proper typing, causing gcc to rightly complain: drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_xs.c:628:13: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] because we really don't live in caves using stone-age tools any more, and the kernel has always used properly typed ANSI C function declarations. So if a function doesn't take arguments, we tell the compiler so explicitly by adding the proper "void" in the prototype. I'm sure there are tons of other examples of this kind of stuff in the tree, but this is the one that hits my workstation config, so.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
