ia64 expects following vm layout: == low memory [register-stack grows up] [memory-stack grows down] == high memory But the code assigns the base of the register stack at the maximum stack size offset from the fixed address where the stack *might* start. Stack randomization will result in the memory stack starting at a lower address than this, and if the user has set a low stack limit with "ulimit -s", then you can end up with the register stack above the memory stack (or if you were very unlucky right on top of it!). Fix: Calculate the base address for the register stack starting from the actual address of the memory stack.

The following 'if' statement in ia64_setup_msi_irq() always fails even if create_irq() returns <0 value, because variable 'irq' is defined as unsigned int. It would cause invalid memory access. irq = create_irq(); if (irq < 0) return irq; Signed-off-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Carsten Otte authored
Fix the bug, that reading into xip mapping from /dev/zero fills the user page table with ZERO_PAGE() entries. Later on, xip cannot tell which pages have been ZERO_PAGE() filled by access to a sparse mapping, and which ones origin from /dev/zero. It will unmap ZERO_PAGE from all mappings when filling the sparse hole with data. xip does now use its own zeroed page for its sparse mappings. Please apply.

sys_madvise has down_write of mmap_sem, then madvise_remove calls vmtruncate_range which takes i_mutex and i_alloc_sem: no, we can easily devise deadlocks from that ordering. madvise_remove drop mmap_sem while calling vmtruncate_range: luckily, since madvise_remove doesn't split or merge vmas, it's easy to handle this case with a NULL prev, without restructuring sys_madvise. (Though sad to retake mmap_sem when it's unlikely to be needed, and certainly down_read is sufficient for MADV_REMOVE, unlike the other madvices.)

shmem_truncate_range has its own truncate_inode_pages_range, to free any pages racily instantiated while it was in progress: a SHMEM_PAGEIN flag is set when this might have happened. But holepunching gets no chance to clear that flag at the start of vmtruncate_range, so it's always set (unless a truncate came just before), so holepunch almost always does this second truncate_inode_pages_range. shmem holepunch has unlikely swap<->file races hereabouts whatever we do (without a fuller rework than is fit for this release): I was going to skip the second truncate in the punch_hole case, but Miklos points out that would make holepunch correctness more vulnerable to swapoff. So keep the second truncate, but follow it by an unmap_mapping_range to eliminate the disconnected pages (freed from pagecache while still mapped in userspace) that it might have left behind.

Miklos Szeredi observes that during truncation of shmem page directories, info->lock is released to improve latency (after lowering i_size and next_index to exclude races); but this is quite wrong for holepunching, which receives no such protection from i_size or next_index, and is left vulnerable to races with shmem_unuse, shmem_getpage and shmem_writepage. Hold info->lock throughout when holepunching? No, any user could prevent rescheduling for far too long. Instead take info->lock just when needed: in shmem_free_swp when removing the swap entries, and whenever removing a directory page from the level above. But so long as we remove before scanning, we can safely skip taking the lock at the lower levels, except at misaligned start and end of the hole.

Miklos Szeredi observes BUG_ON(!entry) in shmem_writepage() triggered in rare circumstances, because shmem_truncate_range() erroneously removes partially truncated directory pages at the end of the range: later reclaim on pages pointing to these removed directories triggers the BUG. Indeed, and it can also cause data loss beyond the hole. Fix this as in the patch proposed by Miklos, but distinguish between "limit" (how far we need to search: ignore truncation's next_index optimization in the holepunch case - if there are races it's more consistent to act on the whole range specified) and "upper_limit" (how far we can free directory pages: generally we must be careful to keep partially punched pages, but can relax at end of file - i_size being held stable by i_mutex).

Permit lvm to create logical volumes without crashing UML. When device-mapper's DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD ioctl is called to create a new device, dev_create()->dm_create()->alloc_dev()-> blk_queue_bounce_limit(md->queue, BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) is called. blk_queue_bounce_limit(BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) calls init_emergency_isa_pool() if blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn. This is the case on UML, but init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from. Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself. From what I can see, max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn. This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().

As the comment immediately preceding this points out, this list is changed in irq context, so it needs to be protected with spin_lock_irqsave in process context when it is processed. Sometimes, gcc should just compile the comments and forget the code. The IRQ side of this was better, in the sense that it blocked and unblocked interrupts, but it still should have saved and restored them.

Commit 62f96cb0 introduced per-devices queues and locks, which was fine as far as it went, but left in place a global which controlled access to submitting requests to the host. This should have been made per-device as well, since it causes I/O hangs when multiple block devices are in use. This patch fixes that by replacing the global with an activity flag in the device structure in order to tell whether the queue is currently being run.

I have a bugreport that scrollwheel of bluetooth version of apple mightymouse doesn't work. The USB version of mightymouse works, as there is a quirk for handling scrollwheel in hid/usbhid for it. Now that bluetooth git tree is hooked to generic hid layer, it could easily use the quirks which are already present in generic hid parser, hid-input, etc. Below is a simple patch against bluetooth git tree, which adds quirk handling to current bluetooth hidp code, and sets quirk flags for device 0x05ac/0x030c, which is the bluetooth version of the apple mightymouse.

In commit 0475ac08 when converting the orphaned process group handling to use struct pid I made a small mistake. I accidentally replaced an == with a !=. Besides just being a dumb thing to do apparently this has a bad side effect. The improper orphaned process group detection causes kwin to die after a suspend/resume cycle. I'm amazed this patch has been around as long as it has without anyone else noticing something funny going on. And the following people deserve credit for spotting and helping to reproduce this.
