This reverts commit 0130b0b3. Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix" actually causes more problems: "However, the new code does not look safe in all cases. If some other task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the new code will update open_files to the new larger value. But newf was allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory." so revert it.

Commit cb07c9a1 causes the wrong return value. is_hugepage_only_range() is a boolean, so we should return -EINVAL rather than 1. Also - we can use "mm" instead of looking up "current->mm" again. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

When building a monolithic kernel, the load order of drivers does not work for SAS libata users, resulting in a kernel oops. Convert libata to use subsys_initcall instead of module_init, which ensures that libata gets loaded before any LLDD. This is the same thing that scsi core does to solve the problem. The load order problem was observed on ipr SAS adapters and should exist for other SAS users as well.

Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages. On powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage region, causing oopses and other badness. Add a test to prevent this. With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.

(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

Resolve the panic on failed mount of an autofs filesystem originally reported by Mao Bibo. It addresses two issues that happen after the mount fail.

Darrick J. Wong authored
A curious thing happens, however, when ata_qc_new_init fails to get an ata_queued_cmd: First, ata_qc_new_init handles the failure like this: cmd->result = (DID_OK << 16) | (QUEUE_FULL << 1); done(cmd); Then, we return to ata_scsi_translate and do this: err_mem: cmd->result = (DID_ERROR << 16); done(cmd); It appears to me that first we set a status code indicating that we're ok but the device queue is full and finish the command, but then we blow away that status code and replace it with an error flag and finish the command a second time! That does not seem to be desirable behavior since we merely want the I/O to wait until a command slot frees up, not send errors up the block layer. In the err_mem case, we should simply exit out of ata_scsi_translate instead. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Roland Dreier authored
When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However, this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed before the send is fully flushed. This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as a use-after-free in IPoIB. Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same check to the search of the wait_list. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

This patch (as810c) copies a minimum of 36 bytes of INQUIRY data, even if the device claims that not all of them are valid. Often badly behaved devices put plausible data in the Vendor, Product, and Revision strings but set the Additional Length byte to a small value. Using potentially valid data is certainly better than allocating a short buffer and then reading beyond the end of it, which is what we do now.

While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a lockup: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */ note_interrupt() misrouted_irq() handle_IRQ_event() if (...) local_irq_enable_in_hardirq(); /* interrupts are enabled from now */ ... __do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */ spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */ Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like this can also take place: 1CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { 2CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue is only theoretical. I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.
