In case that there is no memory based bad block table available the function nand_block_checkbad() in drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c will call nand_block_bad() directly. When parameter 'getchip' is set to zero, nand_block_bad() will not right shift the offset to calculate the correct page number.

The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented) request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it goes oops. Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.

Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel, which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow. The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared. The patch also makes some minimal cleanup: 1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing 2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet) 3. Put result of lookup Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This should never happen unless there's corruption on the medium and the actual data nodes go missing. But the failure mode (an oops when we assume the fragtree isn't empty and go looking for its last node) isn't useful. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting oops is seen here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41 Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL. Read the more complete analysis at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57 This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls). The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

Here it's not the case: all the entries are occupied by OOB chunks. Therefore, once we get into a loop like for (free = this->ecclayout->oobfree; free->length; ++free) { } we might end up scanning past the real oobfree array. Probably the best way out, as the same thing might happen for common NAND as well, is to check index against MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES.

We originally used to read every node and allocate a jffs2_tmp_dnode_info structure for each, before processing them in (reverse) version order and discarding the ones which are obsoleted by later nodes. With huge logfiles, this behaviour caused memory problems. For example, a file involved in OLPC trac #1292 has 1822391 nodes, and would cause the XO machine to run out of memory during the first stage of read_inode(). Instead of just inserting nodes into a tree in version order as we find them, we now put them into a tree in order of their offset within the file, which allows us to immediately discard nodes which are completely obsoleted. We don't use a full tree with 'fragments' pointing to the real data structure, as we do in the normal fragtree. We sort only on the start address, and add an 'overlapped' flag to the tmp_dnode_info to indicate that the node in question is (partially) overlapped by another. When the scan is complete, we start at the end of the file, adding each node to a real fragtree as before. Where the node is non-overlapped, we just add it (it doesn't matter that it's not the latest version; there is no overlap). When the node at the end of the tree _is_ overlapped, we sort it and all its overlapping nodes into version order and then add them to the fragtree in that order. This 'early discard' reduces the peak allocation of tmp_dnode_info structures from 1.8M to a mere 62872 (3.5%) in the degenerate case referenced above. This version of the patch also correctly rememembers the highest node version# seen for an inode when it's scanned. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

Broken by 4a1728a2 which switched the return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics. Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII carrier check going on, defer to that. Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe(). We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by platform_device_release().

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount. This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(), into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around the entire critical section.

v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the primary fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct after removing the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the same dentry, it may wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is freed). This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is not locked and freed.
