Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick patch could set the Kicked bit before acquiring the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path, while holding the ctx_lock, could see this partial kick and mistake it for a kick that was deferred while it was doing work with the run_list NULLed out. It would then race with the kick thread to add the iocb to the run list. This patch moves the kick setting under the ctx_lock so that only one of the kick or run path queues the iocb on the run list, as intended. Signed-off-by:

As requested by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>: "5d3d0f77 breaks a couple of ARM boards, which depend on the historical bootmem allocation order. There is a cleaner solution around to remove the pgdat list completely, but this is a topic for post 2.6.14 Andi signalled ACK already." Signed-off-by:

The following patch updates the way SELinux classifies and handles IP based protocols. Currently, IP sockets are classified by SELinux as being either TCP, UDP or 'Raw', the latter being a default for IP socket that is not TCP or UDP. The classification code is out of date and uses only the socket type parameter to socket(2) to determine the class of IP socket. So, any socket created with SOCK_STREAM will be classified by SELinux as TCP, and SOCK_DGRAM as UDP. Also, other socket types such as SOCK_SEQPACKET and SOCK_DCCP are currently ignored by SELinux, which classifies them as generic sockets, which means they don't even get basic IP level checking. This patch changes the SELinux IP socket classification logic, so that only an IPPROTO_IP protocol value passed to socket(2) classify the socket as TCP or UDP. The patch also drops the check for SOCK_RAW and converts it into a default, so that socket types like SOCK_DCCP and SOCK_SEQPACKET are classified as SECCLASS_RAWIP_SOCKET (instead of generic sockets). Note that protocol-specific support for SCTP, DCCP etc. is not addressed here, we're just getting these protocols checked at the IP layer. This fixes a reported problem where SCTP sockets were being recognized as generic SELinux sockets yet still being passed in one case to an IP level check, which then fails for generic sockets. It will also fix bugs where any SOCK_STREAM socket is classified as TCP or any SOCK_DGRAM socket is classified as UDP. This patch also unifies the way IP sockets classes are determined in selinux_socket_bind(), so we use the already calculated value instead of trying to recalculate it. Signed-off-by:

I need the following patch to compile -git8 here, otherwise these files fail to compile (asm/hw_irq.h needs definitions from linux/irq.h and that file provides the required include ordering). I did not do a full audit, though there looks to be many other places that should get the same treatment, if this is the right way to do it. Signed-off-by: -

BUILD_BUG_ON(1) is asking for trouble (and getting it) when used in that manner - dead code elimination happens after we parse it and invalid type is invalid type, dead code or not. It might be version-dependent, but at least 4.0.1 refuses to accept that. Signed-off-by:

The driver does a readl() on DEVICE_ID which is 2-byte aligned and 2-bytes in size. It's doing this read just to flush write buffers. Create IN16() and OUT16() macros, and use the former to do this I/O load. Signed-off-by: -

From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles out small amounts of data at a time. This known problem is even mentioned in the comments above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically: ... * The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening * window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work * in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing. ... When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window. If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning the socket buffer space. tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case. Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu. Signed-off-by: -

But retain the comment fix. Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows: -------------------- I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window 3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst. See? So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from tcp_init_cwnd() is: init_rcv_wnd(mss)= min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss } It is something sort of: if (mss < 1096) return mss*4; if (mss < 1096*2) return 1096*4; return mss*2; (I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or to explain without this) I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give slack space of one segment. Actually, the logic was: If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames. For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack space of 1 frame again. If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space. Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so that I guess hands typed this themselves. -------------------- Signed-off-by:

The SMU driver has a small mistake in the locking of the interrupt code, if polled access and interrupt access race, interrupt may take a lock and return without releasing it. This fixes it. With that patch, the driver is rock solid with my experimental thermal control (which bangs it pretty hard) racing with real time clock and cpufreq handling. Signed-off-by:

The attempt to fixup the lockless mce log buffer introduced an infinite loop when trying to find a free entry. And: Using rcu_dereference() to load mcelog.next doesn't seem to be sufficient enough to ensure that mcelog.next is loaded each time around the loop in mce_log(). Instead, use an explicit rmb() to ensure that the compiler gets it right. AK: turned the smp_wmbs into true wmbs to make sure they are not reordered by the compiler on UP. Signed-off-by:

Any tests using < TASK_STOPPED or the like are left over from the time when the TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD bits were in the same word, and it served to check for "stopped or dead". I think this one in do_signal_stop is the only such case. It has been buggy ever since exit_state was separated, and isn't testing the exit_state value. Signed-off-by:

do_signal_stop: for_each_thread(t) { if (t->state < TASK_STOPPED) ++sig->group_stop_count; } However, TASK_NONINTERACTIVE > TASK_STOPPED, so this loop will not count TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE threads. See also wait_task_stopped(), which checks ->state > TASK_STOPPED. Signed-off-by:Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> [ We really probably should always use the appropriate bitmasks to test task states, not do it like this. Using something like #define TASK_RUNNABLE (TASK_RUNNING | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | \ TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE) and then doing "if (task->state & TASK_RUNNABLE)" or similar. But the ordering of the task states is historical, and keeping the ordering does make sense regardless. ] Signed-off-by:
