* 'for-linus' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs: [XFS] Fix hang after disallowed rename across directory quota domains
-
Dave Chinner authored
When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access to the inodes involved in failed rename.

Vlad Malov authored
On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the syscall table. This led to non-deterministic behavior including system crashes. While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.

The code used '&= 0x00002000' when it tried to set the TCO_EN bit, which obviously didn't set that bit at all, but instead just reset all the other bits in the SMI_EN register. This bug seemingly caused various random behavior, with Frans Pop reporting that X.org just silently hung at startup and Rafael Wysocki reports the fan spinning with full speed. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/3/178 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12162 The problem seems to have been triggered by "[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt : problem with rebooting on new ICH9 based motherboards" (commit 7cd5b08b), but the bogus code existed before that too (in the "supermicro_old_pre_stop()" function), it just apparently never showed up due to different logic. In that commit the broken code got moved around and now gets executed much more. Reported-by: Rafael J.

However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in events/i386 directory. The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile" The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c;h=022cd41ea9b4106e5884277096e80e9088a7c7a9;hb=HEAD has: 409 case 10 ... 13: 410 *cpu_type = "i386/p6"; 411 break; Referring to the Intel AP-485: case 10 and 11 should produce "i386/piii" case 13 should produce "i386/p6_mobile" I didn't see anything for case 12. Something like the attached patch. I don't have a celeron machine to verify that changes in this area of the kernel fix thing. -Will Signed-off-by: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Tested-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Just found the merge issue in 44274698 ("powerpc/83xx: Add support for MCU microcontroller in .dts files"): the commit adds the MCU controller node into the DMA node, which is wrong because the MCU sits on the I2C bus. Fix this by moving the MCU node into the I2C controller node.

Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm devices. When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask. If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed. Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping - queue attributes are set in DM this way: request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask SCSI 65536 0xffffffff MD RAID1 0 0 LVM 65536 -1 (64bit) Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of physical segments according to these parameters. During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After bio_clone() in stack operation.) Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES); (MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.) Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops: dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10 This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages (last page uses only 1024 bytes). For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS), unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON(). The patch tries to fix it by: * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor blk_queue_make_request() * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch to use generic stack limit function too.) * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h) * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit) Bugs related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471639 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8672Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Miller <mike.miller@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Tejun Heo authored
blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and oops follows. Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer. Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use elv_dequeue_request().

Impact: remove stale IOTLB entries In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries.
