Peter Oberparleiter [Mon, 10 Jul 2006 11:44:00 +0000 (04:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from disk

Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly
detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device
(see patch below).

My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the
policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions.
When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy
field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field.
 This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be
'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g.  the s390 DASD driver because
partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

[PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()

Problem:

In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by
activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to
another.  This has two undesirable effects:

1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the
scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.)

2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time.  At the very least,
this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to
deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious
as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of
the time at which the task was woken.  In addition, unless dest_rq is
the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate
due to inter CPU drift.

Solution:

Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

skbuffs without doing any kind of lock ordering; I think the following

defined to suspend and resume a host_set.  While suspended, EHs for
all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and

Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of
libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend
cannot wait for hotplug to complete.  So, if SCSI device hotplug is in
progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY.

In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume.  As each
resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume
operation may result in multiple resets.  To avoid this, resume waits

Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and
returns.  This allows parallel wake up of devices and thus speeds up

Due to sdev detach synchronization, it's not feasible to separate out

[PATCH] 8139too deadlock fix

> stack backtrace:

>  [<c11ad5ea>] netpoll_send_skb+0x98/0xea

This seems to be a real deadlock...

So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty
but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and
does

      spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock);

which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the
xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this:
  [<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32
  [<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1
  [<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a
  [<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0
  [<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd

Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled
irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held.

The patch below turns this into a irqsave/irqrestore pair so that
interrupts don't get enabled unconditionally.

[  197.355612]  [<c0102d9d>] common_interrupt+0x25/0x2c

this is caused because the ns83820 driver re-enables irq flags
in hardirq context.

While legal in theory, in practice it should only be done if the
hardware is really old and has some very high overhead in its ISR.
(such as PIO IDE)

For modern hardware, running ISRs with irqs enabled is discouraged,
because 1) new hardware is fast enough to not cause latency problems
2) allowing the nesting of hardware interrupts only 'spreads out'
the handling of the current ISR, causing extra cachemisses that would
otherwise not happen. Furthermore, on architectures where ISRs share
the kernel stacks, enabling interrupts in ISRs introduces a much
higher kernel-stack-nesting and thus kernel-stack-overflow risk.
3) not managing irq-flags via the _irqsave / _irqrestore variants
is dangerous: it's easy to forget whether one function nests inside
another, and irq flags might be mismanaged.

In the few cases where re-enabling interrupts in an ISR is considered
useful (and unavoidable), it has to be taught to the lock validator
explicitly (because the lock validator needs the "no ISR ever enables
hardirqs" artificial simplification to keep the IRQ/softirq locking
dependencies manageable).

This teaching is done via the explicit use local_irq_enable_in_hardirq().
On a stock kernel this maps to local_irq_enable(). If the lock validator
is enabled then this does not enable interrupts.

Now, the analysis of drivers/net/ns83820.c's irq flags use: the
irq-enabling in irq context seems intentional, but i dont think it's
justified. Furthermore, the driver suffers from problem #3 above too,
in ns83820_tx_timeout() it disables irqs via local_irq_save(), but
then it calls do_tx_done() which does a spin_unlock_irq(),
re-enabling for a function that does not expect it! While currently
this bug seems harmless (only some debug printout seems to be
affected by it), it's nevertheless something to be fixed.

So this patch makes the ns83820 ISR irq-flags-safe, and cleans up
do_tx_done() use and locking to avoid the ns83820_tx_timeout() bug.

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

  ns83820_mib_isr takes the misc_lock in IRQ context.  All other places that
  do this in the ISR already use _irqsave versions, make this consistent at
  least.  At some point in the future someone should audit the driver to see
  if all _irqsave's in the ISR can go away, this is generally an iffy/fragile
  proposition though; for now get it safe, simple and consistent.

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

ok this is a real driver deadlock:

The ns83820 driver enabled interrupts (by unlocking the misc_lock with
_irq) while still holding the rx_info.lock, which is required to be irq
safe since it's used in the ISR like this:
                writel(1, dev->base + IER);
                spin_unlock_irq(&dev->misc_lock);
                kick_rx(ndev);
                spin_unlock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock);

This is can cause a deadlock if an irq was pending at the first
spin_unlock_irq already, or if one would hit during kick_rx().
Simply remove the first _irq solves this

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most

initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

[PATCH] SoftMAC: Prevent multiple authentication attempts on the same network

This patch addresses the "No queue exists" messages commonly seen during
authentication and associating.  These appear due to scheduling multiple
authentication attempts on the same network.  To prevent this, I added a
flag to stop multiple authentication attempts by the association layer.
I also added a check to the wx handler to see if we're connecting to a
different network than the one already in progress.  This scenario was
causing multiple requests on the same network because the network BSSID
was not being updated despite the fact that the ESSID changed.

[PATCH] 2.6.17 missing a call to ieee80211softmac_capabilities from ieee80211softmac_assoc_req

In commit ba9b28d19a3251bb1dfe6a6f8cc89b96fb85f683, routine
ieee80211softmac_capabilities was added to ieee80211softmac_io.c. As
denoted by its name, it completes the capabilities IE that is
needed in the associate and reassociate requests sent to the
AP. For at least one AP, the Linksys WRT54G V5, the capabilities
field must set the 'short preamble' bit or the AP refuses to
associate. In the commit noted above, there is a call to the
new routine from ieee80211softmac_reassoc_req, but not from
ieee80211softmac_assoc_req. This patch fixes that oversight.

As noted in the subject, v2.6.17 is affected. My bcm43xx card had been
unable to associate since I was forced to buy a new AP. I finally was
able to get a packet dump and traced the problem to the capabilities
info. Although I had heard that a patch was "floating around", I had
not seen it before 2.6.17 was released. As this bug does not affect
security and I seem to have the only AP affected by it, there should
be no problem in leaving it for 2.6.18.
