[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_close
[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

[PATCH] sg.c: fix a memory leak in devices seq_file implementation
I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.

cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null

[PATCH] mmaper_kern.c fixes [buffer overruns]
- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value.
- severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the
end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and
if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size)
count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size;
will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call
copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count);
with obvious results (similar for ->write()).
Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing
normal limiting of count in ->write().
- gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there.
- lots of gratuitous includes.

[PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()
The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.
The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.
(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems. May not be the
long-term fix)

[PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes
Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.
This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you
can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
and other nasty behaviour.
This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved
(like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that
should be only a few percent error now.
Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now
too because it offers more flexibility.

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix issue with gcc 4.0 compiled kernels
I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel.
It turns out gcc-4.0 was removing a sign extension while earlier gcc
versions would not. Thinking this to be a compiler bug, I submitted a
report:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422
It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend
it.

[PATCH] Fix oops in fs/locks.c on close of file with pending locks
The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.
The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).
Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.
The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

[PATCH] hppfs: fix symlink error path
While touching this code I noticed the error handling is bogus, so I
fixed it up.
I've removed the IS_ERR(proc_dentry) check, which will never trigger and
is clearly a typo: we must check proc_file instead.

[PATCH] Document idr_get_new_above() semantics, update inotify
There is an off by one problem with idr_get_new_above.
The comment and function name suggest that it will return an id >
starting_id, but it actually returned an id >= starting_id, and kernel
callers other than inotify treated it as such.
The patch below fixes the comment, and fixes inotifys usage. The
function name still doesn't match the behaviour, but it never did.

Ignore disabled ROM resources at setup
Writing even a disabled value seems to mess up some matrox graphics
cards. It may be a card-related issue, but we may also be writing
reserved low bits in the result.
This was a fall-out of switching x86 over to the generic PCI resource
allocation code, and needs more debugging. In particular, the old x86
code defaulted to not doing any resource allocations at all for ROM
resources.
In the meantime, this has been reported to make X happier by Helge
Hafting <helgehaf@aitel.hist.no>.

[TG3]: Fix ethtool loopback test lockup
The tg3_abort_hw() call in tg3_test_loopback() is causing lockups on
some devices. tg3_abort_hw() disables the memory arbiter, causing
tg3_reset_hw() to hang when it tries to write the pre-reset signature.
tg3_abort_hw() should only be called after the pre-reset signature has
been written. This is all done in tg3_reset_hw() so the tg3_abort_hw()
call is unnecessary and can be removed.
[ Also bump driver version and release date. -DaveM ]

[PATCH] cfq-iosched.c: minor fixes
One critical fix and two minor fixes for 2.6.13-rc7:
- Max depth must currently be 2 to allow barriers to function on SCSI
- Prefer sync request over async in choosing the next request
- Never allow async request to preempt or disturb the "anticipation" for
a single cfq process context. This is as-designed, the code right now
is buggy in that area.

[PATCH] ppc64: Export machine_power_off for therm_pm72 module
This patch puts back the export of machine_power_off() that was removed
by some janitor as it's used for emergency shutdown by the G5 thermal

is debatable and a post-2.6.13 decision. In the meantime, please commit

[PATCH] cpu_exclusive sched domains build fix
As reported by Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>, the previous patch
"cpu_exclusive sched domains fix" broke the ppc64 build with
CONFIC_CPUSET, yielding error messages:
kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'update_cpu_domains':
kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&'
kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&'
On some arch's, the node_to_cpumask() is a function, returning
a cpumask_t. But the for_each_cpu_mask() requires an lvalue mask.
The following patch fixes this build failure by making a copy
of the cpumask_t on the stack.
