* 'for-linus' of git://oss.sgi.com:8090/xfs/xfs-2.6:
[XFS] Initialise current offset in xfs_file_readdir correctly
[XFS] Fix mknod regression
|
|
After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab
each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent.
The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary
buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field
result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype',
which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in
xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of
the linux dev_t later down the function.
Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment
because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the
inode.

Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio.
In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request
and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always
the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased
and violate max_phys_segments restriction.
This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction.
This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least
two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently.
Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other
restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec.
All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)
The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.
This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.
After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

The problem was introduced by commit "mm: variable length argument

Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes
from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the
end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to
detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same
oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses.
This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include
a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports.
Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that
at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however
for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on
the fly.
We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact
our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the
console first.
[ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print
during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses
that trigger during the same bootup. ]
Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early
crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after
multiple bootups:
---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---
---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---
because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works
fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of
instrumentation code).

MiB large. Since we use only a small part of the GPU command buffer and don't
want to waste precious XDR memory, move the GPU command buffer back to the
start of the XDR memory reserved for ps3fb and let the unused part overlap with

Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his
machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel
decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually
write anything out to fix it.
The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal
cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is
called.
Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually
remove the page from the page cache.

I tried to upgrade an IA32 chroot on my IA64 to a new glibc with TLS.
It kept dying because set_thread_area was returning -ESRCH
(bugs.debian.org/451939).
I instrumented arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:get_free_idx() and ended up
seeing output like
[pid] idx desc->a desc->b
-----------------------------
[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> 0 0
[2710] 2 -> 0 0
[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 2 -> 0 0
[2711] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 2 -> 48c0ffff 40dff317
which suggested to me that TLS pointers were surviving exec() calls,
leading to GDT pointers filling up and the eventual failure of
get_free_idx().
I think the solution is flushing the tls array on exec.

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.
Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.
The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.
after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:
| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option
this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.
the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.
First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.
Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:
Intel machine check architecture supported.
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.
Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!
this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).
That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)
eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.
i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,
but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we
call the check_timer() function.
Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the
timer interrupt:
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??
That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).
The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.
(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)
Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

In commit 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21 lazy irq disabling
was implemented, and the simple irq handler had a masking set to it.
Remy Bohmer discovered that some devices in the ARM architecture
would trigger the mask, but never unmask it. His patch to do the
unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.
This patch reverts the masking in the simple handler.

Kprobes for x86-64 may cause a kernel crash if it inserted on "iret"
instruction. "call absolute" is invalid on x86-64, so we don't need
treat it.
- Change the processing order as same as x86-32.
- Add "iret"(0xcf) case.
- Remove next_rip local variable.

jprobe for x86-64 may cause kernel page fault when the jprobe_return()
is called from incorrect function.
- Use jprobe_saved_regs instead getting it from stack.
(Especially on x86-64, it may get incorrect data, because
pt_regs can not be get by using container_of(rsp))
- Change the type of stack pointer to unsigned long *.
