This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell through the cracks somehow. It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead of a fail.

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire. What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request. The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of mount fails removed earlier in development. Signed-off-by:

nobh_prepare_write leaks data similarly to how simple_prepare_write did. Fix by not marking the page uptodate until nobh_commit_write time. Again, this could break weird use-cases, but none appear to exist in the tree. We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says, nobh_commit_write does set_page_dirty. If a filesystem wants to allocate backing store for a page dirtied via mmap, page_mkwrite is the suggested approach. Signed-off-by:

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to. Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those exists in the tree. Signed-off-by:

The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load (as there is no parallel port to use). After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an uninitialized pointer. Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when built-in? Signed-off-by:

This patch lists all active probes in the system by scanning through kprobe_table[]. It takes care of aggregate handlers and prints the type of the probe. Letter "k" for kprobes, "j" for jprobes, "r" for kretprobes. It also lists address of the instruction,its symbolic name(function name + offset) and the module name. One can access this file through /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list.

Andrew noticed that unlocking the page before submitting all buffers for writeout could cause problems if the IO completes before we've finished messing around with the page buffers, and they subsequently get freed. Even if there were no bug, it is a good idea to bring the error case into line with the common case here. Signed-off-by:

The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because it does not quite use files like the rest of the kernel. With the option of backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary shared memory the problems got worse. With the added support for ipc namespaces things behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad namespace reference counting bugs when using what appears at first glance to be a reasonable idiom. So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more maintainable this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts of the kernel and builds it's own files out of them. The shm files are allocated in do_shmat and freed when their reference count drops to zero with their last unmap. The file and vm operations that we don't want to implement or we don't implement completely we just delegate to the operations of our backing file. This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last attach and last detach time work as well. This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we create the file and dropping the referenece in the release method is now safe and correct. This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have requested write access when calling shmat. Although VM_SHARED is now cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a minor bug fix. By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and regular shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly more correct as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100% accurate in spotting all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc shared memory.

The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the system. Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does support. For IA64 this is 1024 nodes. So we allocate an array with 1024 objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes. This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache sized for possible nodes. The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into free_area_init_nodes(). Signed-off-by:

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to allocate arrays for all processors. So far this was done using highest_possible_processor_id(). However, we do need the number of processors not the highest id. Moreover the number was so far dynamically calculated on each invokation. The number of possible processors does not change when the system is running. We can therefore calculate that number once. Signed-off-by:

highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node arrays. I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not change after bootup. This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the page allocators pagesets are initialized.
