2005-10-19[PATCH] fix MGA DRM regression before 2.6.14Dave Airlie
I've gotten a report on lkml, of a possible regression in the MGA DRM in 2.6.14-rc4 (since -rc1), I haven't been able to reproduce it here, but I've figured out some possible issues in the mga code that were definitely wrong, some of these are from DRM CVS, the main fix is the agp enable bit on the old code path still used by everyone.....

2005-10-19[PATCH] Threads shouldn't inherit PF_NOFREEZEAlan Stern
The PF_NOFREEZE process flag should not be inherited when a thread is forked. This patch (as585) removes the flag from the child. This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the kthread API instead of using kernel_thread(). As a result, their kernel threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag. This can cause problems during system suspend; the kernel threads are not getting frozen as they ought to be.

2005-10-19[PATCH] Three one-liners in md.cNeilBrown
The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would only happen when resync/recovery is happening. This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs. 1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the process name wrong. This fixes it. 2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that. 3/ There is a long standing bug in that if: - An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and - The recovery is being blocked because some other array being recovered shares a physical device and - The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being done, which can cause data corruption. This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as incomplete. Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug 3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by 'init' when shutting down.

2005-10-19[PATCH] raw1394: fix locking in the presence of SMP and interruptsAndy Wingo
Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable interrupts while the lock is held. Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability. In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in raw1394.c:receive_iso.

2005-10-19[PATCH] Fix cpu timers exit deadlock and racesRoland McGrath
Oleg Nesterov reported an SMP deadlock. If there is a running timer tracking a different process's CPU time clock when the process owning the timer exits, we deadlock on tasklist_lock in posix_cpu_timer_del via exit_itimers. That code was using tasklist_lock to check for a race with __exit_signal being called on the timer-target task and clearing its ->signal. However, there is actually no such race. __exit_signal will have called posix_cpu_timers_exit and posix_cpu_timers_exit_group before it does that. Those will clear those k_itimer's association with the dying task, so posix_cpu_timer_del will return early and never reach the code in question. In addition, posix_cpu_timer_del called from exit_itimers during execve or directly from timer_delete in the process owning the timer can race with an exiting timer-target task to cause a double put on timer-target task struct. Make sure we always access cpu_timers lists with sighand lock held.

2005-10-19[PATCH] Handle spurious page fault for hugetlb regionSeth, Rohit
The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted. At the time of mmap of hugepages, we populate the new PTEs. It is possible that HW has already cached some of the unused PTEs internally. These stale entries never get a chance to be purged in existing control flow. This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages. Check if a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it. We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that need it).

Reported by: Bob Tracy <rct@gherkin.frus.com> "...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which I'm using the Vesa FB driver. When the machine has been idle for some time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines. When I hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video state is not fully restored..." vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking, and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

2005-10-17[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devicesChristian Krause
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of Highspeed HID devices in the kernel. What happened? Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are received by the kernel. The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB transfer are polled by the host). After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason. In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in driver/usb/input/hid-core.c: line 1669: /* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */ interval = endpoint->bInterval; if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) interval = 1 << (interval - 1); Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6). This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for usb_fill_int_urb: line 1685: usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0, hid_irq_in, hid, interval); Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h: line 933: if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1); else urb->interval = interval; This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device) specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value: hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64 urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is rejected in core/urb.c: line 353: /* too small? */ if (urb->interval <= 0) return -EINVAL; The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is simply wrong. ;-) Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from hid-core.c. Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed re-calculation in this file.

The fix attached was tested in 2 ways: (a) it fixed failing initialization of a flash drive with an embedded hub; (b) the fix was tested with 'usbtest' against a modified g_zero driver (on top of net2280), which generated short bulk IN transfers of various lengths including multiples and non-multiples of max_packet_length.

2005-10-17[PATCH] SVGATextMode fixSamuel Thibault
Fix bug 5441. I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ? Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles separately... The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to _expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode. A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined and svgatextmode be patched.

2005-10-17[PATCH] list: add missing rcu_dereference on first elementHerbert Xu
It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier on the very first dereference. For example, #define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \ for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \ pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)) It will go something like: pos = (head)->next prefetch(pos->next) pos != (head) do stuff We're missing a barrier here. pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next) fetch pos->next barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next) store pos Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale. In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.
