Commit c52c2ddc ("alpha: switch osf_sigprocmask() to use of sigprocmask()") had several problems. The more obvious compile issues got fixed in commit 0f44fbd2 ("alpha: fix compile problem in arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c"), but it also caused a regression. Since _BLOCKABLE is already the set of signals that can be blocked, the code should do "newmask & _BLOCKABLE" rather than inverting _BLOCKABLE before masking. Reported-by:

ocfs2 fast symlinks are NUL terminated strings stored inline in the inode data area. However, disk corruption or a local attacker could, in theory, remove that NUL. Because we're using strlen() (my fault, introduced in a731d1 when removing vfs_follow_link()), we could walk off the end of that string. Signed-off-by:

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to 30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the 50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be stuck on buffers that it could not push out. Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan- and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds, before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then things started going again. However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log. He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25% of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only 8MB? Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space. That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail. However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL first committing. The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt would occur. It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25% of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why delayed logging was tagged as experimental.... The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely. Signed-off-by:

In max8925_irq_sync_unlock(), irq control bit is set at the same time. Zero means enabling irq, and one means disabling irq. The original code is: irq_chg[0] &= irq_data->enable; It should be changed to: irq_chg[0] &= ~irq_data->enable; Otherwise, irq control bit is mess. Signed-off-by:

* 'upstream-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev: ahci: fix module refcount breakage introduced by libahci split
-
Tejun Heo authored
libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split, the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always unloadable even while they're being actively used. Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for each low level ahci driver. stable: only applicable to 2.6.35. Signed-off-by:

Commit e40cc4bd introduced a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit fixes the problem. This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source files. Reported-by:

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'. Reported-by:

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom"). Signed-off-by:

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar. Thus it is necessary to check both string lengths against each other in case of a successful partial string match. Signed-off-by:

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because: a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work - the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received. Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this. Signed-off-by:

When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission. This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets lost. Signed-off-by:
