Since commit 9d2e9d66 mptsas driver fails to allocate memory for the MPT chain buffers for second LSI adapter on PPC440SPe Katmai platform: ... ioc1: LSISAS1068E B3: Capabilities={Initiator} mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - Unable to allocate Reply, Request, Chain Buffers! mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - didn't initialize properly! (-3) mptsas: probe of 0002:31:00.0 failed with error -3 This commit increased MPT_FC_CAN_QUEUE value but initChainBuffers() doesn't differentiate between SAS and FC causing increased allocation for SAS case, too. Later pci_alloc_consistent() fails to allocate increased chain buffer pool size for SAS case. Provide a fix by looking at the bus type and using appropriate MPT_SAS_CAN_QUEUE value while calculation of the number of chain buffers. Signed-off-by:

These particular problems were reported by Cisco and SAP and customers as well. Cisco reported on RHEL4 U6 and SAP reported on SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2. We added these fixes on RHEL4 U6 and gave a private build to IBM and Cisco. Cisco and IBM tested it for more than 15 days and they reported that they did not see the issue so far. Before the fix, Cisco used to see the issue within 5 days. We generated a patch for SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2 and submitted to Novell. Novell applied the patch and gave a test build to SAP. SAP tested and reported that the build is working properly. We also tested in our lab using the tools "dishogsync", which is IO stress tool and the tool was provided by Cisco. Issue1: File System going into read-only mode Root cause: The driver tends to not free the memory (FIB) when the management request exits prematurely. The accumulation of such un-freed memory causes the driver to fail to allocate anymore memory (FIB) and hence return 0x70000 value to the upper layer, which puts the file system into read only mode. Fix details: The fix makes sure to free the memory (FIB) even if the request exits prematurely hence ensuring the driver wouldn't run out of memory (FIBs). Issue2: False Raid Alert occurs When the Physical Drives and Logical drives are reported as deleted or added, even though there is no change done on the system Root cause: Driver IOCTLs is signaled with EINTR while waiting on response from the lower layers. Returning "EINTR" will never initiate internal retry. Fix details: The issue was fixed by replacing "EINTR" with "ERESTARTSYS" for mid-layer retries. Signed-off-by:

Fix divide by zero and broken output. Commit 600ce1a0 ("fix clock setting for Samsung SoC Framebuffer") introduced a mandatory refresh parameter to the platform data for the S3C framebuffer but did not introduce any validation code, causing existing platforms (none of which have refresh set) to divide by zero whenever the framebuffer is configured, generating warnings and unusable output. Ben Dooks noted several problems with the patch: - The platform data supplies the pixclk directly and should already have taken care of the refresh rate. - The addition of a window ID parameter doesn't help since only the root framebuffer can control the pixclk. - pixclk is specified in picoseconds (rather than Hz) as the patch assumed. and suggests reverting the commit so do that. Without fixing this no mainline user of the driver will produce output. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't revert the correct bit] Signed-off-by:

Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

Fix the race between the truncation of a ramfs file and an attempt to make a shared mmap of region of that file. The problem is that do_mmap_pgoff() calls f_op->get_unmapped_area() to verify that the file region is made of contiguous pages and to find its base address - but there isn't any locking to guarantee this region until vma_prio_tree_insert() is called by add_vma_to_mm(). Note that moving the functionality into f_op->mmap() doesn't help as that is also called before vma_prio_tree_insert(). Instead make ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() grab nommu_region_sem whilst it does its checks. This means that this function will wait whilst mmaps take place. Signed-off-by:

In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a region that's in use by more than one VMA because: (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs). (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle by which to refer to the already existing region. (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also been split into two regions, each of usage 1. Signed-off-by: -

Commit c4caa778 ("file ->get_unmapped_area() shouldn't duplicate work of get_unmapped_area()") broke SYSV SHM for NOMMU by taking away the pointer to shm_get_unmapped_area() from shm_file_operations. Put it back conditionally on CONFIG_MMU=n. file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area() is used to find out the base address for a mapping of a mappable chardev device or mappable memory-based file (such as a ramfs file). It needs to be called prior to file->f_ops->mmap() being called. Signed-off-by:

Current mem_cgroup_force_empty() only ensures mem->res.usage == 0 on success. But this doesn't guarantee memcg's LRU is really empty, because there are some cases in which !PageCgrupUsed pages exist on memcg's LRU. For example: - Pages can be uncharged by its owner process while they are on LRU. - race between mem_cgroup_add_lru_list() and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common(). So there can be a case in which the usage is zero but some of the LRUs are not empty. OTOH, mem_cgroup_del_lru_list(), which can be called asynchronously with rmdir, accesses the mem_cgroup, so this access can cause a problem if it races with rmdir because the mem_cgroup might have been freed by rmdir. Actually, I saw a bug which seems to be caused by this race.

The problem here is pages on LRU may contain pointer to stale memcg. To make res->usage to be 0, all pages on memcg must be uncharged or moved to another(parent) memcg. Moved page_cgroup have already removed from original LRU, but uncharged page_cgroup contains pointer to memcg withou PCG_USED bit. (This asynchronous LRU work is for improving performance.) If PCG_USED bit is not set, page_cgroup will never be added to memcg's LRU. So, about pages not on LRU, they never access stale pointer. Then, what we have to take care of is page_cgroup _on_ LRU list. This patch fixes this problem by making mem_cgroup_force_empty() visit all LRUs before exiting its loop and guarantee there are no pages on its LRU. Signed-off-by:

Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() When code relies on a constant being a power of 2: #define FOO 512 /* must be a power of 2 */ it would be nice to be able to do: BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO)); However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives results in: error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2() and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

In some upcoming code it's useful to peek into a FIFO without permanentely removing data. This patch implements a new kfifo_out_peek() to do this. Signed-off-by:

Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?) I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions correctly. Signed-off-by:

The pointers to user buffers are currently unsigned char *, which requires a lot of casting in the caller for any non-char typed buffers. Use void * instead. Signed-off-by:

EDAC MC0: INTERNAL ERROR: channel-b out of range (4 >= 4) Kernel panic - not syncing: EDAC MC0: Uncorrected Error (XEN) Domain 0 crashed: 'noreboot' set - not rebooting. This happens because FERR_NF_FBD bit 28 is not updated on i5000. Due to that, both bits 28 and 29 may be equal to one, returning channel = 3. As this value is invalid, EDAC core generates the panic.

The m68knommu coldfire pit clocksource looks like it was incorrectly marked as a continuous clocksource. Running with it marked as a continuous clocksource could cause hangs when the system switches to highres mode or enables nohz. This patch removes the CLOCK_SOURCE_IS_CONTINUOUS flag on the coldfire pit clocksource. This will disallow systems using this clocksource from entering oneshot mode (disabling highres timers and nohz). Signed-off-by:

When I try to use markup_oops.pl in x86, I always get: cat 1 | perl markup_oops.pl ./vmlinux objdump: --start-address: bad number: NaN No matching code found This is because in line: if ($line =~ /EIP is at ([a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)\+0x([0-9a-f]+)\/[a-f0-9]/) { $function = $1; $func_offset = $2; } $func_offset will get a number like "0x2" But in follow code: my $decodestart = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$target") - Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$func_offset"); It add other ox to ox2. Then this value will be set to NaN. So I made a small patch to fix it. Signed-off-by:Hui Zhu <teawater@gmail.com> Acked-by:
