When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra line gets copied into a temporary buffer. This is normally not an issue since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information gets copied into the user buffer. The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page of memory. That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB chip raising an MCA.

Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI." This trivial patch solves the problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This reverts commit 0130b0b3. Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix" actually causes more problems: "However, the new code does not look safe in all cases. If some other task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the new code will update open_files to the new larger value. But newf was allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory." so revert it.

When building a monolithic kernel, the load order of drivers does not work for SAS libata users, resulting in a kernel oops. Convert libata to use subsys_initcall instead of module_init, which ensures that libata gets loaded before any LLDD. This is the same thing that scsi core does to solve the problem. The load order problem was observed on ipr SAS adapters and should exist for other SAS users as well.

Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages. On powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage region, causing oopses and other badness. Add a test to prevent this. With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.

(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly and vgetcpu wouldn't work. Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled with an hotplug notifier. This actually simplifies the code somewhat. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support. Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that don't have HPET, but need a timer override. We don't know yet how to handle this transparently, but at least add a command line option to force the timer override and let them boot.

x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly 2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup. This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time, and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which returns 0 because no regions exist. This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call to e820_end_of_ram(). Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very nasty bug in Xen. But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64 kernel boot setup. The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into protected mode is way too big. The comment by the code states that the size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'. Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception. Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit being a magnitude too big.

A curious thing happens, however, when ata_qc_new_init fails to get an ata_queued_cmd: First, ata_qc_new_init handles the failure like this: cmd->result = (DID_OK << 16) | (QUEUE_FULL << 1); done(cmd); Then, we return to ata_scsi_translate and do this: err_mem: cmd->result = (DID_ERROR << 16); done(cmd); It appears to me that first we set a status code indicating that we're ok but the device queue is full and finish the command, but then we blow away that status code and replace it with an error flag and finish the command a second time! That does not seem to be desirable behavior since we merely want the I/O to wait until a command slot frees up, not send errors up the block layer. In the err_mem case, we should simply exit out of ata_scsi_translate instead. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However, this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed before the send is fully flushed. This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as a use-after-free in IPoIB. Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same check to the search of the wait_list. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
