* posix-timers: fix deletion raceThomas Gleixner2007-08-221-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | timer_delete does: lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); release_posix_timer(); timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the timer before the lock code can check the timer: CPU 0 CPU 1 lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); lock_timer() spin_lock(idr_lock); timer = idr_find(); spin_lock(timer->lock); spin_unlock(idr_lock); release_posix_timer(); spin_lock(idr_lock); idr_remove(timer); spin_unlock(idr_lock); free_timer(timer); if (timer->......) Change the locking to prevent this.

* fix NULL pointer dereference in __vm_enough_memory()Alan Cox2007-08-227-16/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not current->mm. The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption that this does not happen as does the security code. As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the helper function. A new security test is added for the case where we need to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

* correct name for rtc-m41t80David Brownell2007-08-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new rtc-m41t80 driver name doesn't match its module name, which prevents it from properly hotplugging. Since it's new, no platforms yet depend on that name ... so this patch fixes the driver name to match its module name, rather than going the other way around with a MODULE_ALIAS(). NOTE: This sort of bug is a new thing to watch out for with new-style I2C drivers; previously I2C couldn't hotplug.

* synchronous lumpy reclaim: wait for page writeback when directly reclaiming ↵Andy Whitcroft2007-08-221-8/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contiguous areas Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any process over time, it works well. In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early. This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous blocks. The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails, the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not stall in this fashion.

* synchronous lumpy reclaim: ensure we count pages transitioning inactive via ↵Andy Whitcroft2007-08-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clear_active_flags As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates. I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected. Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in ZONE_MOVABLE): 2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7 sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26 These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected. I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under load. This patch: We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags, those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.

* Add blacklisting capability to serial_pci to avoid misdetection of serial portsChristian Schmidt2007-08-221-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The serial_pci driver tries to guess serial ports on unknown devices based on the PCI class (modem or serial). On certain softmodems (AC'97 modems) this can lead to the recognition of non-existing serial ports. This patch adds a blacklist of PCI IDs that are to be ignored by the driver.

* Serial 8250: handle saving the clear-on-read bits from the LSR and MSRCorey Minyard2007-08-222-29/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun bits in the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places that read the LSR. Same goes for the MSR delta bits. Save the LSR bits off whenever the lsr is read so they can be handled later in the receive routine. Save the MSR bits to be handled in the modem status routine. Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits in the interrupt routines.

* serial: don't optimise away baud rate changes when BOTHER is usedDavid Woodhouse2007-08-221-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed. Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed. So if the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change gets optimised away. This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed. Those integers are always set appropriately for us by set_termios().

The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong.

The instruction length is encoded into the first two bits of the s390 instruction. Kprobe is incorrectly computing the instruction length. The instruction length is used for determining what type of "fix-up" is needed for conditional branch instruction. The problem can bee seen by placing a kprobe on a "bc" instruction that will not branch. The results is that Kprobe incorrectly computes the new instruction pointer (psw.addr) after single stepping the instruction. The problem is corrected with this patch.

When removing and creating files, it is necessary to lock the inode of the parent directory where the files live. Currently hypfs does not lock the parent inode, which can lead to inode corruption.

Unfortunately it can happen, that there is still a user of the device structure, when the character device is open during the detach process. To fix this, reference counting for the vmur structure is introduced. In addition to that, the online, offline, probe and remove functions are serialized now using a global mutex.
