[ARM] 3529/1: s3c24xx: fix restoring control register with undefined instruction
Patch from Dimitry Andric
In arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/sleep.S, the coprocessor registers are saved at
suspend time, and restored at resume time. However, an undefined
instruction is used when attempting to restore a non-existent "auxiliary
control register". This leads to a crash on S3C2412, which has an ARM926
core instead of an ARM920.
At suspend time, the following fragment runs:
mrc p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0 @ translation table base address
mrc p15, 0, r8, c2, c0, 0 @ auxiliary control register
mrc p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0 @ control register
and at resume time, the following fragment runs:
mcr p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0 @ translation table base
mcr p15, 0, r8, c1, c1, 0 @ auxilliary control
...
mcr p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0 @ turn on MMU, etc
There are several problems with these fragments:
1. The ARM920 and ARM926 cores don't have any "auxiliary control
register", at least not according to the ARM920 and ARM926 TRM's.
2. The 2nd line of suspend erroneously saves the c2 register again.
3. This saved c2 value is restored using an undefined instruction. For
some reason this does not crash on ARM920, but does crash on ARM926.
The following patch fixes all these problems.

This fixes two problems triggered by the MMC stack updating clocks:
- SPI masters driver should accept a max clock speed of zero; that's one
convention for marking idle devices. (Presumably that helps controllers
that don't autogate clocks to "off" when not in use.)
- There are more than 1000 nanoseconds per millisecond; setting the clock
down to 125 KHz now works properly.

[PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMA
With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't
free all objects." The problem is caused by sequences such as the
following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1):
* Allocate an object from cache on node 0.
* Free the object on node 1. The object is put into node 1's alien
array_cache for node 0.
* Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink().
* __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes.
For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the
alien array_cache for the other node.
However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained,
and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache
into that same shared array_cache. node 0's shared array_cache is
never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in
use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0. So
__node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail.
This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do
drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the
nodes' shared array_caches.
The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.

[PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted
When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with. This gives the user vital diagnostics as to
what is missing from their kernel.
For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled
into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect
stage. Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem.
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 1604KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.

[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.
In the log, smb_file_read reports error=
4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.
In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:
if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
/*
* On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
* request from the recvq/xmitq.
*/
smb_lock_server(server);
if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}
smb_unlock_server(server);
}
[...]
if (signal_pending(current))
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;
I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.
Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).
If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.
I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel
Even since a previous patch:
Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=
92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe
The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.
symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course.
This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

[NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.
The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.
Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.
To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing
ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable
Looking at the ARP tables by using
ip neigh show
will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.
This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().
Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.
[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that
we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

This reverts commit
56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7.
Both Erik Mouw and Andrew Vasquez independently pinpointed this commit
as causing problems, where the slab cache for a driver is never released
(most obviously causing problems when immediately re-loading that
driver, resulting in a "kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache <xyz>"
message, but it can also cause other trouble).
James Bottomley dug into it, and reports:
"OK, here's the scoop. The problem patch adds a get of driverfs_dev in
add_disk(), but doesn't put it again until disk_release() (which occurs
on final put_disk() of the gendisk).
However, in SCSI, the driverfs_dev is the sdev_gendev. That means
there's a reference held on sdev_gendev until final disk put.
Unfortunately, we use the driver model driver_remove to trigger
del_gendisk (which removes the gendisk from visibility and decrements
the refcount), so we've introduced an unbreakable deadlock in the
reference counting with this.
I suggest simply reversing this patch at the moment. If Russell and
Jens can tell me what they're trying to do I'll see if there's another
way to do it."
so hereby the patch gets reverted, waiting for a better fix.

[BLOCK] limit request_fn recursion
Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.
Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.
This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

ptrace_attach: fix possible deadlock schenario with irqs
Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding
tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock
might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing.
Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an
interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at
triggering it ;)
Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it
be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.
