2010-10-17ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver moduleClemens Ladisch
When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed. Afterwards, rmidi and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely to be garbage. (This was introduced by commit 9a1b64caac82aa02cb74587ffc798e6f42c6170a.)

2010-10-16arm: Use ARCH_IRQ_INIT_FLAGSThomas Gleixner
The core code now initializes the requested number of interrupts and sets the flags in irq_desc.status which are requested by the architecture via ARCH_IRQ_INIT_FLAGS. Add ARCH_IRQ_INIT_FLAGS and remove the loop which sets those flags after the irq descriptors are allocated.

2010-10-15ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restartTejun Heo
Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation) dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the updated sector wasn't being used. ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread. When issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is put on the restart list and issuing stops. On IO completion, devices on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted. ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where to restart in its current request. ubd needs to keep track of the issue position itself because, * blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of _completion_ position. * Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is. Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to correctly restart io_req issue.

2010-10-14Un-inline the core-dump helper functionsLinus Torvalds
Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.

2010-10-14Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumpsLinus Torvalds
akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping code). Just remove it. Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ... [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ] And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even compile) Reported-by: akiphie <akiphie@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 0793448 "DMAENGINE: generic channel status v2" changed the interface for how dma channel progress is retrieved. It inadvertently exported an internal helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status(). The latter polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just evaluates the current state without touching hardware. The effect is that we end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before the completion state is updated. iperf (before fix): [SUM] 0.0-41.3 sec 364 MBytes 73.9 Mbits/sec iperf (after fix): [SUM] 0.0- 4.5 sec 499 MBytes 940 Mbits/sec This is a regression starting with 2.6.35.

2010-10-13net: allow FEC driver to use fixed PHY supportGreg Ungerer
At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached 4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing. So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY on the attached MII bus. After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup. Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus. This is based on the way the cpmac.c driver solved this same problem. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-10-12ARM: 6440/1: ep93xx: DMA: fix channel_disableMika Westerberg
When channel_disable() is called, it disables per channel interrupts and waits until channels state becomes STATE_STALL, and then disables the channel. Now, if the DMA transfer is disabled while the channel is in STATE_NEXT we will not wait anything and disable the channel immediately. This seems to cause weird data corruption for example in audio transfers. Fix is to wait while we are in STATE_NEXT or STATE_ON and only then disable the channel.

2010-10-12ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per pageSteven Rostedt
Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp. Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which is good for ~18 years. Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event. If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering, the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer. This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill more than a page without any data. When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page, a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace is also disabled with it). There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen 18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only 8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size cutting the amount in half. The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the warning: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # echo function > current_tracer # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter # echo > trace # echo 1 > trace_marker # sleep 120 # cat trace Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer, then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page, sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will trigger the bug. This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning. Reported-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Hans J.

2010-10-12genirq: Remove the now unused sparse irq leftoversThomas Gleixner
The move_irq_desc() function was only used due to the problem that the allocator did not free the old descriptors. So the descriptors had to be moved in create_irq_nr(). That's history. The code would have never been able to move active interrupt descriptors on affinity settings. That can be done in a completely different way w/o all this horror. Remove all of it.
