2006-08-11Add stable branch to maintainers fileSteven Rostedt
While helping someone to submit a patch to the stable branch, I noticed that the stable branch is not listed in the MAINTAINERS file. This was after I went there to look for the email addresses for the stable branch list (stable@kernel.org). This patch adds the stable branch to the maintainers file so that people can find where to send patches when they have a fix for the stable team.

2006-08-10[XFS] Fix xfs_free_extent related NULL pointer dereference.Nathan Scott
We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL. This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are irrelevent for the space-freeing case.

2006-08-09[NET]: add_timer -> mod_timer() in dst_run_gc()Dmitry Mishin
Patch from Dmitry Mishin <dim@openvz.org>: Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc in order to avoid BUG message. CPU1 CPU2 dst_run_gc() entered dst_run_gc() entered spin_lock(&dst_lock) ..... del_timer(&dst_gc_timer) fail to get lock .... mod_timer() <--- puts timer back to the list add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already. Found during OpenVZ internal testing. At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(), but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger this condition in mainstream kernel. F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted by an irq before dst_lock is tried. Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and starts the timer. If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving exactly to the situation described.

2006-08-09[PATCH] libata: clear sdev->locked on door lock failureTejun Heo
SCSI EH locks door if sdev->locked is set. Sometimes door lock command fails continuously (e.g. when medium is not present) and as libata uses EH to acquire sense data, this easily creates a loop where a failed lock door invokes EH and EH issues lock door on completion. This patch clears sdev->locked on door lock failure to break this loop. This problem has been spotted and diagnosed by Unicorn Chang <uchang@tw.ibm.com>.

2006-08-07[TG3]: Fix tx race conditionMichael Chan
Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx() discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>: CPU0 CPU1 tg3_start_xmit() if (tx_ring_full) { tx_lock tg3_tx() if (!netif_queue_stopped) netif_stop_queue() if (!tx_ring_full) update_tx_ring netif_wake_queue() tx_unlock } Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier. Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of volatile. 5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition. 6. Update version to 3.65. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-08-07[IPV4]: Limit rt cache size properly.Kirill Korotaev
From: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM and kernel panics. It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and 225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash: syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e. max rt size is 4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone Attached the patch which removes HASH_HIGHMEM flag from alloc_large_system_hash() call.
