2009-08-02ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)Ben McKeegan
This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU of PPP link. There are at least 3 situations where this case might arise: - some of the channels are busy - the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less than its full complement of active channels) - by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially increase the effective link MTU of a single link. Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded. This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit 9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode() redesign'. Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

2009-08-02eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resumeAlan Jenkins
OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume". Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference Process s2disk Tainted: G W IP: klist_put Call trace: ? klist_del ? device_del ? device_unregister ? pci_stop_dev ? pci_stop_bus ? pci_remove_device ? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop] ? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop] ? acpi_device_resume ? device_resume ? hibernation_snapshot It appears the PCI device is removed twice. The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug() call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI notifier callback. The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN. The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13825 Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Corentin Chary <corentin.chary@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-08-02ACPI: bind workqueues to CPU 0 to avoid SMI corruptionBjorn Helgaas
On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the SMI runs on CPU 0. An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.

2009-08-02sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changesGregory Haskins
Background: Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace. The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced recently with commit: commit 68e74568fbe5854952355e942acca51f138096d9 Date: Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030 sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t. The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to quickly determine a best-estimate target. Races between the pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the original code because we would detect and return "0" when this occured. The design was predicated on the *effective* atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the cpus_allowed and the vec->mask. Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is accessed multiple times. This introduces a subtle race, the result of which means we can have a result that returns "1", but with an empty bitmap. *) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a per-word basis which is all the design required to work. Implementation: Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has been encountered and continue processing in the event that the race is hit. This renders the removal race as if the priority bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the algorithm to execute correctly.

2009-08-01thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAMHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think it will stop there. Switch to a white/blacklist. All models that have HBRV defined have been included in the list, and initially all ATI GPUs will get ECNVRAM, and the Intel GPUs will get UCMS_STEP. Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are: 1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs; 2.

2009-08-02cifs: reinstate original behavior when uid=/gid= options are specifiedJeff Layton
This patch fixes the regression reported here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13861 commit 4ae1507f6d266d0cc3dd36e474d83aad70fec9e4 changed the default behavior when the uid= or gid= option was specified for a mount. The existing behavior was to always clobber the ownership information provided by the server when these options were specified. The above commit changed this behavior so that these options simply provided defaults when the server did not provide this information (unless "forceuid" or "forcegid" were specified) This patch reverts this change so that the default behavior is restored. It also adds "noforceuid" and "noforcegid" options to make it so that ownership information from the server is preserved, even when the mount has uid= or gid= options specified. It also adds a couple of printk notices that pop up when forceuid or forcegid options are specified without a uid= or gid= option.

2009-08-01thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently broken anyway... Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

2009-08-01thinkpad-acpi: disable broken bay and dock subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and, therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock, undock, bay ejection, etc). OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27. In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did. It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI. This is old, deprecated code that sees little testing or use. As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig. The dead code will be removed by a later patch. This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those padding bytes. Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure from user space, so it all even makes sense.

2009-08-01nilfs2: fix oops due to inconsistent state in page with discrete b-tree nodesRyusuke Konishi
Andrea Gelmini gave me a report that a kernel oops hit on a nilfs filesystem with a 1KB block size when doing rsync. This turned out to be caused by an inconsistency of dirty state between a page and its buffers storing b-tree node blocks. If the page had multiple buffers split over multiple logs, and if the logs were written at a time, a dirty flag remained in the page even every dirty flag in the buffers was cleared. This will fix the failure by dropping the dirty flag properly for pages with the discrete multiple b-tree nodes.
