In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot(). It is then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir. Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the page remains pinned forever. Repeat that a couple times with highmem pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole system comes to a halt.

The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size somehow. And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.

When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic. The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example. Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9c: "pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic"). So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test, which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering, it won't cause weeks of debugging.

Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read /proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since "mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec" 04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d commit in 2.6.31. But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC. The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(), another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the tracee resumes. With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and we do not hold it throughout, instead: - introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred. - install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(), and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop(). or, if exec fails, free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call to __rmqueue_fallback(). However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot. This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being prematurely broken up. This is a fix to commit 49255c61 [page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff(). If do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree. To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a transient region.

cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer function is not running after return. But most users doesn't actually need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq. Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead. The immediate reason for this patch is http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757 but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway. As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its semantics are not yet clear. Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between input and infiniband.

An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras. After a short while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not react anymore. This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer. This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4A7C0594.2020208%40gmail.com (Reported by Samuel Audet.) In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two cameras in dual buffer mode. Whether this is due to different chip revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not yet clear. However, as far as the current capabilities of firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not a problem in practice. We only need to revisit this issue if we are going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly choose modes.

This fixes a regression due to post 2.6.30 commit "firewire: core: do not DMA-map stack addresses" 6fdc0370. As David Moore noted, a previously correct sizeof() expression became wrong since the commit changed its argument from an array to a pointer. This resulted in an oops in ohci_cancel_packet in the shared workqueue thread's context when an isochronous resource was to be freed.

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a pre-existing snapshot. For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used. If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the correct on-disk value is always used. Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got corrupted as happened in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot (typically while booting). This patch fixes the race. When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area" location. Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception. persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being invalidated. The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the corrupted header). The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID). This identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere, since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs. Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases, a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the "inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued, the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed via a device-mapper 'clear' command.) The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped out during the exchange. The solution is to create a locally unique identifier, 'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not universally safe, but it does not need to be, since create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync. The case involves the failure of the primary device along with the transient failure of the log device. The problem is that bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure) before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure. Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient, a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will reset 'log_failure'. The 'do_failures' function then resets the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list. The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the primary device can be switched in the event of a failure. Since this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed to be not switchable. The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines. As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure), the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine - thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable. In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure' variable. The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually hurt us.

The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not be there. This patch removes it. To make the fix simpler, we first reorder a constructor argument The 'device size' argument is generated internally. Currently it is placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string. However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it. We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log, just in case we need to resend them. These are the same arguments that are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one. When creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor table. We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a mistake. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
