__register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address but before module_text_address() or try_module_get(), and in this interval the module can be unloaded. In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod) will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe invalid address. This patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and uses __module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address().

With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

In theory the task can be moved to another cgroup and the freezer will be freed right after task_lock is dropped, so the lock results in zero protection. But in the case of freezer_fork() no lock is needed, since the task is not in tasklist yet so it won't be moved to another cgroup, so task->cgroups won't be changed or invalidated.

If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations. During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to get_page_from_freelist().

It turns out that edac_mc_del_mc will kobject_put the last kref on the mci object. If the timing is just right, that means that the mci object is freed before before i5000_remove_one has a chance to free the resources associated with it, causing a null pointer exceptions when unloading the driver. Insert a kobject_{get,put} pair so that this doesn't happen. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver. This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into nowhere, causing a crash. Make this assumption hold true for these three drivers. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Oops. Part of the hugetlb private reservation code was not fully converted to use hstates. When a huge page must be unmapped from VMAs due to a failed COW, HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of the page size being used. This works if the VMA is using the default huge page size. Otherwise we might unmap too much, too little, or trigger a BUG_ON. Rare but serious -- fix it.

This fixes a TX hang reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer. When an architecutre cannot provide a fully functional 64-bit atomic readq/writeq, the driver must implement it's own. This is because only the driver can say whether doing something like using two 32-bit reads to implement the full 64-bit read will actually work properly. In particular one of the issues is whether the top 32-bits or the bottom 32-bits of the 64-bit register should be read first. There could be side effects, and in fact that is exactly the problem here. The TX_CS register has counters in the upper 32-bits and state bits in the lower 32-bits. A read clears the state bits. We would read the counter half before the state bit half. That first read would clear the state bits, and then the driver thinks that no interrupts are pending because the interrupt indication state bits are seen clear every time. Fix this by reading the bottom half before the upper half. Tested-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <jdb@comx.dk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer works... Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected hardware dies. (Above text by me.

The ieee80211_notify_mac() function uses ieee80211_sta_req_auth() which in turn calls ieee80211_set_disassoc() which calls a few functions that need to be able to sleep, so ieee80211_notify_mac() cannot use RCU locking for the interface list and must use rtnl locking instead.

Fix a crash in path_rec_completion() during an SM up/down loop. If more than one path record request is issued, the first completion releases path->done, allowing ipoib_flush_paths() to free the path, and thus corrupting it for the second completion. Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM change events") added the field path->valid and changed the test "if (!path)" to "if (!path || !path->valid)". This change made it possible for a path with an outstanding query to pass the test and issue another query on the same path. Having two queries on the same path leads to a crash.

ipoib_flush_paths() can hang during an SM up/down loop: if path_rec_start() fails (for instance, because there is no sm_ah), the path is still added to the path list by neigh_add_path(). Then, ipoib_flush_paths() will wait for path->done, but it will never complete because the request was not issued at all. Fix this by completing path->done if issuing the query fails.
