[NETLINK]: Infinite recursion in netlink.
|
|
The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented)
request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When
things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it
goes oops.
Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.
(It doesn't oops, but this driver still doesn't work for William)

Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel,
which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow.
The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared.
The patch also makes some minimal cleanup:
1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing
2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet)
3. Put result of lookup

There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41
Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.
Read the more complete analysis at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57
This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should
potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).
The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the
rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

Broken by 4a1728a28a193aa388900714bbb1f375e08a6d8e which switched the
return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of
read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics.
Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as
that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when
no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII
carrier check going on, defer to that.
Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS
flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine
passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before
refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the
driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop
receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to
reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement
buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no
skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping
the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe().
We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems
that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is
to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before
calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by
platform_device_release().

serial8250_interrupt()
Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() ->
serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus
allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in
serial8250_interrupt()).

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.
This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the
primary fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct
after removing the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the
same dentry, it may wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is
freed).
This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is
not locked and freed.

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
is to pack the structure. The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.
Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.
The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.

oom_kill_task() calls __oom_kill_task() to OOM kill a selected task.
When finding other threads that share an mm with that task, we need to
kill those individual threads and not the same one.

change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got
reverted. That's not correct: it has to be flushed in all cases.
This bug was added in some earlier changes.
Just flush all pages for now.
This could be done more efficiently, but for this late in the release
this seem to be the best fix.

noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.
Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.
Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

This patches fixes the silent data corruption problems being seen using the
GART iommu where 4kB of data where incorrect (seen mostly on Nvidia CK804
systems). This fix, to mark the memory regin the GART PTEs reside on as
uncacheable, also brings the code in line with the AGP specification.

The debugging code would dereference __iomem pointers instead
of going through sbus_{read,write}{b,w,l}().

draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-07.txt is not entirely clear on how the length
value of the pseudo header should be calculated, it states "The Header Length
field contains the length of the pseudo header, IPv4 options, and padding in
8 octets units.", but also states "Length in octets (Header Len + 1) * 8".
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-08-pre1.txt [1] clarifies this, the header length
should not include the first 8 byte.
This change affects backwards compatibility, but option encapsulation didn't
work until very recently anyway.

Change to defer congestion control initialization.
If setsockopt() was used to change TCP_CONGESTION before
connection is established, then protocols that use sequence numbers
to keep track of one RTT interval (vegas, illinois, ...) get confused.
Change the init hook to be called after handshake.

This reverts commit ed8ccee0918ad063a4741c0656fda783e02df627.
It causes hang on boot for some users and we don't yet know why:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7562
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/20/404
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/25/113
Just reverse it for 2.6.21-final, having broken X server is somehow
better than unbootable system.
