2011-03-01xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry callsAlex Elder1-3/+8
Commit 493f3358cb289ccf716c5a14fa5bb52ab75943e5 added this call to xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back to user space: + memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo)); Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that xfs_fs_geometry() requires. As a result, this can happen: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: f87aca93 Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1 Call Trace: [<c12991ac>] ? panic+0x50/0x150 [<c102ed71>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x10/0x18 [<f87aca93>] ? xfs_ioc_fsgeometry_v1+0x56/0x5d [xfs] Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then copy out the subset it is interested in.

2011-03-01Revert "TPM: Long default timeout fix"Linus Torvalds1-6/+4
This reverts commit c4ff4b829ef9e6353c0b133b7adb564a68054979. Ted Ts'o reports: "TPM is working for me so I can log into employer's network in 2.6.37. It broke when I tried 2.6.38-rc6, with the following relevant lines from my dmesg: [ 11.081627] tpm_tis 00:0b: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x0, rev-id 78) [ 25.734114] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out [ 78.040949] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out This caused me to get suspicious, especially since the _other_ TPM commit in 2.6.38 had already been reverted, so I tried reverting commit c4ff4b829e: "TPM: Long default timeout fix".

Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c. Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from drivers/thermal/Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2011-02-26clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodicThomas Gleixner3-1/+18
When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working around an hpet related BIOS wreckage. Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

2011-02-25mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if ↵Mel Gorman1-10/+22
!__GFP_REPEAT should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would have otherwise remained resident. This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full LRU list may still be scanned. Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined: if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION)) return false; A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done" applied.

THP mean allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so significantly that the reductions are within noise. Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

This pounds swap quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit. Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced. Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size allocations more aggressively. The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced. The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an acceptable trade-off.

2011-02-25drivers/nfc/pn544.c: add missing regulatorMatti J. Aaltonen1-1/+3
The regulator framework is used for power management. The regulators are only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board file for each architecture or use case. The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not - depending on the architecture where the chip is being used. So some of the regulators may not be controllable. In our current case the third regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we didn't need to control it. To be as general as possible - in this respect - the driver needs to list all regulators. Then the board file can be used to actually set the usage. Signed-off-by: Matti J.

2011-02-25swiotlb: fix wrong panicFUJITA Tomonori1-2/+4
swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find a buffer fit for device's dma mask. It should return an error instead. Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e. under 4G) like b44 network card hit this bug (the system crashes): http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129648943830106&w=2 If swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing mechanism.

2011-02-25mm: grab rcu read lock in move_pages()Greg Thelen1-3/+3
The move_pages() usage of find_task_by_vpid() requires rcu_read_lock() to prevent free_pid() from reclaiming the pid.

2011-02-25epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structuresDavide Libenzi1-0/+95
In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

2011-02-25omap4: prcm: Fix the CPUx clockdomain offsetsSantosh Shilimkar1-2/+2
CPU0 and CPU1 clockdomain is at the offset of 0x18 from the LPRM base. The header file has set it wrongly to 0x0. Offset 0x0 is for CPUx power domain control register Fix the same. The autogen scripts is fixed thanks to Benoit Cousson With the old value, the clockdomain code would access the *_PWRSTCTRL.POWERSTATE field when it thought it was accessing the *_CLKSTCTRL.CLKTRCTRL field. In the worst case, this could cause system power management to behave incorrectly.
