When mthca_fmr_alloc() returns an error, it should free the MPT at the index key, not mr->ibmr.lkey, since the lkey has been mangled by hw_index_to_key() and no longer is the real index. This bug causes corruption of the MPT table free bitmap when mthca_fmr_alloc() fails. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()") introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times out. In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which handles a different list. Fix this by moving everything to the rx_reap_list that will actually get freed up. This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906>.

This reverts commit 1f84260c, which is suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in itself is not a big clue). See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278 etc. One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric Dumazet: "I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo. cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed, while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so 'object' was recycled. c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ. We then put back in freelist an already allocated object." but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.

Smack uses CIPSO labeling, but allows for unlabeled packets by specifying an "ambient" label that is applied to incoming unlabeled packets. Because the other end of the connection may dislike IP options, and ssh is one know application that behaves thus, it is prudent to respond in kind. This patch changes the network labeling behavior such that an outgoing packet that would be given a CIPSO label that matches the ambient label is left unlabeled. An "unlbl" domain is added and the netlabel defaulting mechanism invoked rather than assuming that everything is CIPSO. Locking has been added around changes to the ambient label as the mechanisms used to do so are more involved.

Current code in qdio_activate waits for at least 5 seconds until it returns. It may return earlier if an error occurs, but not if everything is ok. This large timeout value became visible with commit dfa77f61 "qdio: set QDIO_ACTIVATE_TIMEOUT to 5s", which intended to fix the timeout value which was zero. In turn setting an FCP adapter online took 5 seconds. In practice waiting for 5ms before continuing is sufficient as pointed out by Utz Bacher and Cornelia Huck.

Just copy the first 512 read-only bytes of the current cpu lowcore if a new cpu gets onlined. The rest is zeroed out and must be explicitly initialized. Current code just copies the entire lowcore and initializes the needed fields. This should reveal bugs in future enhancements quite early. Also when the lowcore of the first cpu is replaced this is now done atomically (no interrupts, no machine checks).

After setting the status of the cqr and releasing the lock for the block cqr queue, we call the cqr callback function, which will usually just trigger the dasd_block_tasklet. But when the tasklet is already running the cqr might be processed before we invoke the callback function. In rare cases the callback pointer may already be invalid by the time we want to call it, which will result in a panic. Solution: Call the callback function first and then release the lock.

If both NO_IDLE_HZ and VIRT_TIMER are disabled default_idle won't load an enabled wait psw and busy loop instead. This is because the idle_chain is empty and the return value of atomic_notifier_call_chain will be NOTIFY_DONE, which causes default_idle to return instead of loading an enabled wait psw. Fix this by calling __atomic_notifier_call_chain instead and add proper return value handling.

This just updates the libata slave configure routine to take advantage of the block layer drain buffers. It also adjusts the size lengths in the atapi code to add the drain buffer to the DMA length so the driver knows it can rely on it. I suspect I should also be checking for AHCI as well as ATA_DEV_ATAPI, but I couldn't see how to do that easily. tj: * atapi_drain_needed() added such that draining is applied to only misc ATAPI commands. * q->bounce_gfp used when allocating drain buffer. * Now duplicate ATAPI PIO drain logic dropped. * ata_dev_printk() used instead of sdev_printk().

that provided by the block layer ATA requires that all DMA transfers begin and end on word boundaries. Because of this, a large amount of machinery grew up in ide to adjust scatterlists on this basis. However, as of 2.5, the block layer has a dma_alignment variable which ensures both the beginning and length of a DMA transfer are aligned on the dma_alignment boundary. Although the block layer does adjust the beginning of the transfer to ensure this happens, it doesn't actually adjust the length, it merely makes sure that space is allocated for transfers beyond the declared length. The upshot of this is that scatterlists may be padded to any size between the actual length and the length adjusted to the dma_alignment safely knowing that memory is allocated in this region. Right at the moment, SCSI takes the default dma_aligment which is on a 512 byte boundary. Note that this aligment only applies to transfers coming in from user space. However, since all kernel allocations are automatically aligned on a minimum of 32 byte boundaries, it is safe to adjust them in this manner as well. tj: * Adjusting sg after padding is done in block layer. Make libata set queue alignment correctly for ATAPI devices and drop broken sg mangling from ata_sg_setup(). * Use request->raw_data_len for ATAPI transfer chunk size. * Killed qc->raw_nbytes. * Separated out killing qc->n_iter.

With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating, filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller. Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe. So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len, indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field, request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original request size should be fed to the controller or device.

DMA start address and transfer size alignment for PC requests are achieved using bio_copy_user() instead of bio_map_user(). This works because bio_copy_user() always uses full pages and block DMA alignment isn't allowed to go over PAGE_SIZE. However, the implementation didn't update the last bio of the request to make this padding visible to lower layers. This patch makes blk_rq_map_user() extend the last bio such that it includes the padding area and the size of area pointed to by the request is properly aligned.

Thomas Gleixner authored
The default_disable() function was changed in commit: 76d21601 genirq: do not mask interrupts by default It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was removed, which can result in spurious interrupts. Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a shutdown nor a disable function.
