This reverts commit fcd239d3. I messed up, ia64 still uses these files in the current tree, and now can not build the pci code, which all ia64 boxes seem to require :) This fixes that mistake. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the file. However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in commit 54cb8821 ("mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with gdb when trying to access the invalid page. The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the ptrace() hang in the process. Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case (quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had, thanks Duane!").

This should fix the sysfs warnings that renaming network devices is causing to show up with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y The code just shouldn't run if class devices are real directories, it's an update for the symlink in the class directory. Nobody noticed that as long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.

It wants string functions like memcpy() for inline routines, and these define userland interfaces. The only clean way to deal with this is to simply put linux/string.h into unifdef-y and have it include <string.h> when not-__KERNEL__. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S.

When a network namespace reference is held by a network subsystem, and when this reference is decremented in a rcu update callback, we must ensure that there is no more outstanding rcu update before trying to free the network namespace. In the normal case, the rcu_barrier is called when the network namespace is exiting in the cleanup_net function. But when a network namespace creation fails, and the subsystems are undone (like the cleanup), the rcu_barrier is missing. This patch adds the missing rcu_barrier.

Point 1: The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo. This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the destructor calls free_netdev. Point 2: In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code is: * alloc_netdev * register_netdev -> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error. Point 3: In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made. If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the registered state is done using unregister_netdevice. Conclusion: When a network device fails to register during initialization because one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2. The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer. Proposed solution: The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except* the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered". The following functions are changed in this way: * register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails * unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list that should not break anything. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I noticed my machine was at a constant load average of 1. This was because ib_create_fmr_pool calls kthread_create but does not immediately wake the thread up.

Commit commit 65b8291c ("dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write") introduced a bug which stopped dio from ever invalidating the page cache after writes. It still invalidated it before writes so most users were fine. Karl Schendel reported ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/481 ) hitting this bug when he had a buffered reader immediately reading file data after an O_DIRECT wirter had written the data. The kernel issued read-ahead beyond the position of the reader which overlapped with the O_DIRECT writer. The failure to invalidate after writes caused the reader to see stale data from the read-ahead. The following patch is originally from Karl. The following commentary is his: The below 3rd try takes on your suggestion of just invalidating no matter what the retval from the direct_IO call. I ran it thru the test-case several times and it has worked every time. The post-invalidate is probably still too early for async-directio, but I don't have a testcase for that; just sync. And, this won't be any worse in the async case. I added a test to the aio-dio-regress repository which mimics Karl's IO pattern. It verifed the bad behaviour and that the patch fixed it. I agree with Karl, this still doesn't help the case where a buffered reader follows an AIO O_DIRECT writer. That will require a bit more work. This gives up on the idea of returning EIO to indicate to userspace that stale data remains if the invalidation failed.

Inside a function declared as void foo(char bar[512]) the value of sizeof bar is the size of a pointer, not 512. So avoid constructions like this by passing the size explicitly.

The small eeprom that holds the GUID etc. contains a data-length, but if the actual eeprom is new or has been erased, that byte will be 0xFF, which is greater than the maximum physical length of the eeprom, and more importantly greater than the length of the buffer we vmalloc'd.
