A number of problems can occur due to races between resync/recovery and discard. - if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event before all of the individual discard requests have completed (so some devices are still locked, but not all). Since commit ca64cae9 md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished. this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device, so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared. This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up. - If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is one). So: - keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have completed their discard request - make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at the same time. This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up the discard at the appropriate time. Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.7.

MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs. This patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure it is about to operate on something valid. This patch also checks for 'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'. Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in 'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation.

MD RAID5: Fix kernel oops when RAID4/5/6 is used via device-mapper Commit a9add5d9 (v3.8-rc1) added blktrace calls to the RAID4/5/6 driver. However, when device-mapper is used to create RAID4/5/6 arrays, the mddev->gendisk and mddev->queue fields are not setup. Therefore, calling things like trace_block_bio_remap will cause a kernel oops. This patch conditionalizes those calls on whether the proper fields exist to make the calls. (Device-mapper will call trace_block_bio_remap on its own.) This patch is suitable for the 3.8.y stable kernel.

Since commit 1ed850f3 md/raid5: make sure to_read and to_write never go negative. It has been possible for handle_stripe_dirtying to be called when there isn't actually any work to do. It then calls schedule_reconstruction() which will set R5_LOCKED on the parity block(s) even when nothing else is happening. This then causes problems in do_release_stripe(). So add checks to schedule_reconstruction() so that if it doesn't find anything to do, it just aborts. This bug was introduced in v3.7, so the patch is suitable for -stable kernels since then.

If something has failed while the array was read-auto, then when we switch to 'active' we need to update the metadata. This will happen anyway but it is good to expedite it, and also to ensure any failed device has been released by the underlying device before we try to action the ioctl which caused us to switch to 'active' mode.

When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains all pending requests by calling freeze_array(). This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep, but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather than in the per-array request queue. When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process plug to the per-array request queue (from which flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so it will block forever. So add the requires wake_up() calls. This bug was introduced by commit f54a9d0e for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present since linux-3.6. As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is suitable for -stable.

Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*. The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a crash. So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from create_stripe_zones. This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable for any kernel since then.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you. So: disable setting of the available size on each device for RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so can change the effective layout of data. Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate, but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be safe. Without this change: mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max then read to the end of the array can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array. These bugs have been present ever since it became possible to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is suitable for any -stable kerenl.

DM RAID: Add support for MD's RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithms Until now, dm-raid.c only supported the "near" algorthm of MD's RAID10 implementation. This patch adds support for the "far" and "offset" algorithms, but only with the improved redundancy that is brought with the introduction of the 'use_far_sets' bit, which shifts copied stripes according to smaller sets vs the entire array. That is, the 17th bit of the 'layout' variable that defines the RAID10 implementation will always be set. (More information on how the 'layout' variable selects the RAID10 algorithm can be found in the opening comments of drivers/md/raid10.c.)

MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2) This patch addresses raid arrays that have a number of devices that cannot be evenly divided by 'far_copies'. (E.g. 5 devices, far_copies = 2) This case must be handled differently because it causes that last set to be of a different size than the rest of the sets. We must compute a new modulo for this last set so that copied chunks are properly wrapped around. Example use_far_sets=1, far_copies=2, near_copies=1, devices=5: "far" algorithm dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== [ A B ] [ C D E ] [ G H ] [ I J K ] ... [ B A ] [ E C D ] --> nominal set of 2 and last set of 3 [ H G ] [ K I J ] []'s show far/offset sets Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The MD RAID10 'far' and 'offset' algorithms make copies of entire stripe widths - copying them to a different location on the same devices after shifting the stripe. An example layout of each follows below: "far" algorithm dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== A B C D E F G H I J K L ... F A B C D E --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1 L G H I J K ... "offset" algorithm dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== A B C D E F F A B C D E --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1 G H I J K L L G H I J K ... Redundancy for these algorithms is gained by shifting the copied stripes one device to the right. This patch proposes that array be divided into sets of adjacent devices and when the stripe copies are shifted, they wrap on set boundaries rather than the array size boundary. That is, for the purposes of shifting, the copies are confined to their sets within the array. The sets are 'near_copies * far_copies' in size. The above "far" algorithm example would change to: "far" algorithm dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== A B C D E F G H I J K L ... B A D C F E --> Copy of stripe0, shifted 1, 2-dev sets H G J I L K Dev sets are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 ... This has the affect of improving the redundancy of the array. We can always sustain at least one failure, but sometimes more than one can be handled. In the first examples, the pairs of devices that CANNOT fail together are: (1,2) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5) (5,6) (1, 6) [40% of possible pairs] In the example where the copies are confined to sets, the pairs of devices that cannot fail together are: (1,2) (3,4) (5,6) [20% of possible pairs] We cannot simply replace the old algorithms, so the 17th bit of the 'layout' variable is used to indicate whether we use the old or new method of computing the shift. (This is similar to the way the 16th bit indicates whether the "far" algorithm or the "offset" algorithm is being used.) This patch only handles the cases where the number of total raid disks is a multiple of 'far_copies'. A follow-on patch addresses the condition where this is not true.

If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count. Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore. By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush request but we return -EROFS for other writes. We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors. This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment.

As reported by Klaus Schmidinger: "In VDR I use an ioctl() call with FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS on a device (using stb0899). After this call I check 'errno' for EOPNOTSUPP to determine whether this device supports this call. This used to work just fine, until a few months ago I noticed that my devices using stb0899 didn't display their signal quality in VDR's OSD any more. After further investigation I found that ioctl(FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS) no longer returns EOPNOTSUPP, but rather ENOTTY. And since I stop getting the signal quality in case any unknown errno value appears, this broke my signal quality query function." While the changes reflect what is there at: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235728 it does cause regression on userspace. So, revert it to stop the damage.

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the %cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is the approach taken in this patch. Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention and lead to accidents.

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the SetPageReferenced() bits. On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs. In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header file adjustments were necessary. Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "This is primarily to get those r8169 reverts sorted, but other fixes have accumulated meanwhile. 1) Revert two r8169 changes to fix suspend/resume for some users, from Francois Romieu. 2) PCI dma mapping errors in atl1c are not checked for and this cause hard crashes for some users, from Xiong Huang. 3) In 3.8.x we merged the removal of the EXPERIMENTAL dependency for 'dlm' but the same patch for 'sctp' got lost somewhere, resulting in the potential for build errors since there are cross dependencies. From Kees Cook. 4) SCTP's ipv6 socket route validation makes boolean tests incorrectly, fix from Daniel Borkmann. 5) mac80211 does sizeof(ptr) instead of (sizeof(ptr) * nelem), from Cong Ding. 6) arp_rcv() can crash on shared non-linear packets, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Avoid crashes in macvtap by setting ->gso_type consistently in ixgbe, qlcnic, and bnx2x drivers. From Michael S Tsirkin and Alexander Duyck. 8) Trinity fuzzer spots infinite loop in __skb_recv_datagram(), fix from Eric Dumazet. 9) STP protocol frames should use high packet priority, otherwise an overloaded bridge can get stuck. From Stephen Hemminger. 10) The HTB packet scheduler was converted some time ago to store internal timestamps in nanoseconds, but we don't convert back into psched ticks for the user during dumps. Fix from Jiri Pirko. 11) mwl8k channel table doesn't set the .band field properly, resulting in NULL pointer derefs. Fix from Jonas Gorski. 12) mac80211 doesn't accumulate channels properly during a scan so we can downgrade heavily to a much less desirable connection speed. Fix from Johannes Berg. 13) PHY probe failure in stmmac can result in resource leaks and double MDIO registery later, from Giuseppe CAVALLARO. 14) Correct ipv6 checksumming in ip6t_NPT netfilter module, also fix address prefix mangling, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (27 commits) net, sctp: remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL net: sctp: sctp_v6_get_dst: fix boolean test in dst cache batman-adv: Fix NULL pointer dereference in DAT hash collision avoidance net/macb: fix race with RX interrupt while doing NAPI atl1c: add error checking for pci_map_single functions htb: fix values in opt dump ixgbe: Only set gso_type to SKB_GSO_TCPV4 as RSC does not support IPv6 net: fix infinite loop in __skb_recv_datagram() net: qmi_wwan: add Yota / Megafon M100-1 4g modem mwl8k: fix band for supported channels bridge: set priority of STP packets mac80211: fix channel selection bug arp: fix possible crash in arp_rcv() bnx2x: set gso_type qlcnic: set gso_type ixgbe: fix gso type stmmac: mdio register has to fail if the phy is not found stmmac: fix macro used for debugging the xmit Revert "r8169: enable internal ASPM and clock request settings".

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "One (hopefully) last batch of x86 fixes. You asked for the patch by patch justifications, so here they are: x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exports This one unexports from userspace a bunch of definitions which should never have been exported. We really don't want to create an accidental legacy here. x86, doc: Add a bootloader ID for OVMF This is a documentation-only patch, just recording the official assignment of a boot loader ID. x86: Do not leak kernel page mapping locations Security: avoid making it needlessly easy for user space to probe the kernel memory layout. x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address Prevent failures using /proc/kcore when using 1G pages. x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systems Works around a BIOS problem causing boot failures on affected hardware." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systems x86, doc: Add a bootloader ID for OVMF x86: Do not leak kernel page mapping locations x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exports

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake() or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless the driver explicitly disables wakeup. Many drivers never disable wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are removed, e.g., via hotplug. A subsequent PME poll will oops when it tries to touch the device. This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes the device from pci_pme_list. This is safe even if the device never had PME# enabled. This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.
