CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later. Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay. But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes. Use a real udelay() to fix this. Fix verified on SunBlade100. Signed-off-by:

throttle_vm_writeout() is designed to wait for the dirty levels to subside. But if the caller holds IO or FS locks, we might be holding up that writeout.

unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without ensuring that the critical section is closed. Mingming later sent the same patch, saying: We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree. The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that we have seen. Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered. The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1, cpu 0: cpu1

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k. Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h, linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in a C file as the only simple solution.

__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on application. Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately. Signed-off-by:

But some kinds of UFS: OpenStep UFS and Apple UFS (looks like these are the same filesystems) have different directory chunk size, then common UFSes(BSD and Solaris UFS). So this patch adds ability to works with variable size of directory chunks, and set it for ufstype=openstep to right size. Tested on darwin ufs. Signed-off-by:

Revert "[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant" This reverts commit 39d61db0. The commit was buggy in multiple ways: - the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with - it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd never see the bug except for constant arguments. - the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and didn't even parenthesize them properly - despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the generic page.h header file. All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to: better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

The SMT scheduler incorrectly skips kernel threads even if they are runnable (but they are preempted by a higher-prio user-space task which got SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU). Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task. (This should cover most of the real-life cases anyway.) This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index. When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then pty_close() is called: if (tty->driver->close) tty->driver->close(tty, filp); This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(), being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed: #ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS if (tty->driver == ptm_driver) devpts_pty_kill(tty->index); #endif But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index: driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index); if (!driver) { mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex); return -ENODEV; } This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev(). Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track: /* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */ if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) { tty = devpts_get_tty(idx); if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER) tty = tty->link; } else { tty = driver->ttys[idx]; } if (tty) goto fast_track; The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume. Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still has it. Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0, because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0, slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr index. This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a customer's critical application, it's never too simple: thread1: opens master, gets index X thread1: begin closing master thread2: begin opening slave with index X thread1: finishes closing master, index X released thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <---- thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use and healthy tty and fails If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid. The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev() won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex. Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings like this one: idr_remove called for id=15 which is not allocated.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW). In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as "maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code. The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts (from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in reality, it should always be very close to $n$. The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled. For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled, it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the PMU registers are "frozen" forever. [This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off. -- paulus.] From: Livio Soares <livio@eecg.toronto.edu> Signed-off-by:
