      dm crypt: use bio_add_page · 91e10625
      Milan Broz authored 
      Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio.

In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request
and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always
the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased
and violate max_phys_segments restriction.

This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction.
This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least
two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently.

Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other
restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec.

All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

      dm: table detect io beyond device · 512875bd
      Jun'ichi Nomura authored 
      This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)

The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer.  It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.

This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.

After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

Sample test script to trigger oops:

Humm not a collision - thats a bug in the driver updating.  Looks like the
changes I made and combined with Christoph's lost a line somewhere when I
was merging it all.

    [SCSI] sym53c8xx: Make interrupt handler capable of returning IRQ_NONE

After this happens, the kernel disables the IRQ, causing the SCSI card
to stop working until the next reboot.  The problem is caused by the
interrupt handler returning IRQ_NONE instead of IRQ_HANDLED after
handling an interrupt-on-the-fly (INTF) condition.  The following patch
fixes the problem.

      x86: fix "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!" · 4aae0702
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.

after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:

| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...  failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!  Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report.  Then try booting with the 'noapic' option

this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.

the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.

First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.

Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:

 Intel machine check architecture supported.
 Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.

Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!

this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).

That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)

eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.

i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,
but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we
call the check_timer() function.

Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the
timer interrupt:

...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

  [<c05f5784>] setup_IO_APIC+0x9c3/0xc5c

the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??

That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).

The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.

(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)

Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

      genirq: revert lazy irq disable for simple irqs · 971e5b35
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      In commit 76d21601 lazy irq disabling
was implemented, and the simple irq handler had a masking set to it.

Remy Bohmer discovered that some devices in the ARM architecture
would trigger the mask, but never unmask it. His patch to do the
unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.

This patch reverts the masking in the simple handler.
