Transparent hugepages can only be created if rmap is fully functional. So we must prevent hugepages to be created while is_vma_temporary_stack() is true. This also optmizes away some harmless but unnecessary setting of khugepaged_scan.address and it switches some BUG_ON to VM_BUG_ON.

task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it is not a good idea to show the registers of a process.

This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted as f00eaeea. The original change was broken and caused X startup failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading device dependent config space. The normal capable() interface returns true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success. This thinko is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly. So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a33 ("pci: check caps from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing. Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's capabilities for config space reads.

mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like: ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13 if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently doesn't have any IOAPICs. But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.) The call chain that generates this error is: pnpacpi_allocated_resource() case ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_IRQ: pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource() acpi_get_override_irq() mp_find_ioapic() Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Commit bf5fc093 refactored btrfs_ioctl_space_info() and introduced several security issues. space_args.space_slots is an unsigned 64-bit type controlled by a possibly unprivileged caller. The comparison as a signed int type allows providing values that are treated as negative and cause the subsequent allocation size calculation to wrap, or be truncated to 0. By providing a size that's truncated to 0, kmalloc() will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. It's also possible to provide a value smaller than the slot count. The subsequent loop ignores the allocation size when copying data in, resulting in a heap overflow or write to ZERO_SIZE_PTR. The fix changes the slot count type and comparison typecast to u64, which prevents truncation or signedness errors, and also ensures that we don't copy more data than we've allocated in the subsequent loop. Note that zero-size allocations are no longer possible since there is already an explicit check for space_args.space_slots being 0 and truncation of this value is no longer an issue.

Btrfs tracks uptodate state in an rbtree as well as in the page bits. This is supposed to enable us to use block sizes other than the page size, but there are a few parts still missing before that completely works. But, our readpage routine trusts this additional range based tracking of uptodateness, much in the same way the buffer head up to date bits are trusted for the other filesystems. The problem is that sometimes we need to allocate memory in order to split records in the rbtree, even when we are just clearing bits. This can be difficult when our clearing function is called GFP_ATOMIC, which can happen in the releasepage path. So, what happens today looks like this: releasepage called with GFP_ATOMIC btrfs_releasepage calls clear_extent_bit clear_extent_bit fails to allocate ram, leaving the up to date bit set btrfs_releasepage returns success The end result is the page being gone, but btrfs thinking the range is up to date. Later on if someone tries to read that same page, the btrfs readpage code will return immediately thinking the page is already up to date. This commit fixes things to fail the releasepage when we can't clear the extent state bits. It covers both data pages and metadata tree blocks. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

There is a race where btrfs_releasepage can drop the page->private contents just as alloc_extent_buffer is setting up pages for metadata. Because of how the Btrfs page flags work, this results in us skipping the crc on the page during IO. This patch sovles the race by waiting until after the extent buffer is inserted into the radix tree before it sets page private. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

4795bb37 "nfsd: break lease on unlink, link, and rename", only broke the lease on the file that was being renamed, and didn't handle the case where the target path refers to an already-existing file that will be unlinked by a rename--in that case the target file should have any leases broken as well.

Instead of acquiring one lease each time another client opens a file, nfsd can acquire just one lease to represent all of them, and reference count it to determine when to release it. This fixes a regression introduced by c45821d2 "locks: eliminate fl_mylease callback": after that patch, only the struct file * is used to determine who owns a given lease. But since we recently converted the server to share a single struct file per open, if we acquire multiple leases on the same file from nfsd, it then becomes impossible on unlocking a lease to determine which of those leases (all of whom share the same struct file *) we meant to remove. Thanks to Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> for catching a bug in a previous version of this patch. Tested-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
