We only need the timestamp on COOKIE-ECHO chunks, so instead of always timestamping every SCTP packet, let common code timestamp if the socket option is set. For COOKIE-ECHO, simply get the time of day if we don't have a timestamp. This introduces a small possibility that the cookie may be considered expired, but it will be renegotiated. Signed-off-by:

Currently if the sender is sending small messages, it can cause a receiver to run out of receive buffer space even when the advertised receive window is still open and results in packet drops and retransmissions. Including a overhead while updating the sender's view of peer receive window will reduce the chances of receive buffer space overshooting the receive window. Signed-off-by:

MSI is defined to be 32-bit write. The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word. This is legal but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop responding after a while. Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are written by the device. AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it using pci_msi_quirk. Update version to 1.4.45. Signed-off-by:

Fix obscure race condition in kernel/cpuset.c attach_task() code. There is basically zero chance of anyone accidentally being harmed by this race. It requires a special 'micro-stress' load and a special timing loop hacks in the kernel to hit in less than an hour, and even then you'd have to hit it hundreds or thousands of times, followed by some unusual and senseless cpuset configuration requests, including removing the top cpuset, to cause any visibly harm affects. One could, with perhaps a few days or weeks of such effort, get the reference count on the top cpuset below zero, and manage to crash the kernel by asking to remove the top cpuset. I found it by code inspection. The race was introduced when 'the_top_cpuset_hack' was introduced, and one piece of code was not updated. An old check for a possibly null task cpuset pointer needed to be changed to a check for a task marked PF_EXITING. The pointer can't be null anymore, thanks to the_top_cpuset_hack (documented in kernel/cpuset.c). But the task could have gone into PF_EXITING state after it was found in the task_list scan. If a task is PF_EXITING in this code, it is possible that its task->cpuset pointer is pointing to the top cpuset due to the_top_cpuset_hack, rather than because the top_cpuset was that tasks last valid cpuset. In that case, the wrong cpuset reference counter would be decremented. The fix is trivial. Instead of failing the system call if the tasks cpuset pointer is null here, fail it if the task is in PF_EXITING state. The code for 'the_top_cpuset_hack' that changes an exiting tasks cpuset to the top_cpuset is done without locking, so could happen at anytime. But it is done during the exit handling, after the PF_EXITING flag is set. So if we verify that a task is still not PF_EXITING after we copy out its cpuset pointer (into 'oldcs', below), we know that 'oldcs' is not one of these hack references to the top_cpuset.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC turned off i was getting sporadic failures in the locking self-test: ------------> | Locking API testsuite: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | spin |wlock |rlock |mutex | wsem | rsem | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-B-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-B-C-C-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-C-A-B-C deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-B-C-C-D-D-A deadlock: ok |FAILED| ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-C-D-B-D-D-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | A-B-C-D-B-C-D-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |FAILED| after much debugging it turned out to be caused by accidental chain-hash key collisions. The current hash is: #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \ (((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2) ^ \ ((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2)) ^ \ (key2)) where MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS is 11. This hash is pretty good as it will shift by 5 bits in every iteration, where every new ID 'mixed' into the hash would have up to 11 bits. But because there was a 6 bits overlap between subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was a chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks held. the solution is to shift by 11 bits: #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \ (((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \ ((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \ (key2)) This keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the hash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64 bits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt happen in Linux). Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into the hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding hash ID. with this change the false positives went away.

And currently we are filling "namesz" without taking into the consideration the null character size. o Kexec-tools performs this check deligently hence I ran into the issue while trying to open /proc/kcore in kexec-tools for some info.

If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer can be queued normally. In the latter case we call the write method but without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere. Make this consistent. Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be locked out by it. Signed-off-by:

Andreas Gruenbacher authored
The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and forth between multiple user sessions, etc. Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem. Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs. Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses. The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach. These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/229 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/230 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/231 This patch: Add some infrastructure for access control lists on in-memory filesystems such as tmpfs.

POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors, even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa 2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has been changed at run time with ulimit -n. To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases: 1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024 In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024 fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <= 1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the initial value of max_fdset. 2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened. The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024, and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds. 3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and a DoS risk on low-resource systems. With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more, no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or 1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle 1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they worked fine under 2.4.18.
