On architectures where the char type defaults to unsigned some of the arithmetic in the AX.25 stack to fail, resulting in some packets being dropped on receive. Credits for tracking this down and the original patch to Bob Brose N0QBJ <linuxhams@n0qbj-11.ampr.org>. Signed-off-by:

IPVS used flag NFC_IPVS_PROPERTY in nfcache but as now nfcache was removed the new flag 'ipvs_property' still needs to be copied. This patch should be included in 2.6.14. Further comments from Harald Welte: Sorry, seems like the bug was introduced by me. Signed-off-by:

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers. [ This replaces e03d13e9, which is why it was just reverted. ] Signed-off-by:

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same time as a P-state change request. Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times out, but can no longer perform P-state changes. It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the southbridge will acknowledge normally. Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code. When we place a hash PTE in the secondary bucket, instead of setting the SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag. This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash table code. Mea culpa, oops. It hasn't been noticed until now because in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often. Signed-off-by:

While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our update_mmu_cache() implementation. The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass _PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want. In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The (hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a typo in the div128_by_32 function used in the timekeeping calculations on ppc64. If you look at the code it's quite obvious that we need (rb + c) rather than (rb + b). The "b" is clearly just a typo. Signed-off-by:

It is legitimate to call tcp_fragment with len == skb->len since that is done for FIN packets and the FIN flag counts as one byte. So we should only check for the len > skb->len case. Signed-off-by:

Turns out the problem has nothing to do with use-after-free or double-free. It's just that we're not clearing the CB area and DCCP unlike TCP uses a CB format that's incompatible with IP. Signed-off-by:

icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit). I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though. dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they both go for the ball and end up in each other's way. This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet. Signed-off-by:

In fact we already have that flag, it's called skb->sk. So here is patch to test that instead of skb_cloned(). Signed-off-by:

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches. Signed-off-by:

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of an unsigned long. This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable. Signed-off-by:

The PF_NOFREEZE process flag should not be inherited when a thread is forked. This patch (as585) removes the flag from the child. This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the kthread API instead of using kernel_thread(). As a result, their kernel threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag. This can cause problems during system suspend; the kernel threads are not getting frozen as they ought to be. Signed-off-by:

The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would only happen when resync/recovery is happening. This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs. 1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the process name wrong. This fixes it. 2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that. 3/ There is a long standing bug in that if: - An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and - The recovery is being blocked because some other array being recovered shares a physical device and - The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being done, which can cause data corruption. This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as incomplete. Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug 3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by 'init' when shutting down. Signed-off-by:Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable interrupts while the lock is held. Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability. In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in raw1394.c:receive_iso. Test program attached reliably deadlocks all SMP machines I have been able to test without this patch. Signed-off-by:

hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue. copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated. unmap_hugepage_range rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped. follow_hugetlb_page must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early. Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov reported an SMP deadlock. If there is a running timer tracking a different process's CPU time clock when the process owning the timer exits, we deadlock on tasklist_lock in posix_cpu_timer_del via exit_itimers. That code was using tasklist_lock to check for a race with __exit_signal being called on the timer-target task and clearing its ->signal. However, there is actually no such race. __exit_signal will have called posix_cpu_timers_exit and posix_cpu_timers_exit_group before it does that. Those will clear those k_itimer's association with the dying task, so posix_cpu_timer_del will return early and never reach the code in question. In addition, posix_cpu_timer_del called from exit_itimers during execve or directly from timer_delete in the process owning the timer can race with an exiting timer-target task to cause a double put on timer-target task struct. Make sure we always access cpu_timers lists with sighand lock held. Signed-off-by:
