2008-10-03fbdev: fix recursive notifier and locking when fbdev console is blankedKrzysztof Helt
Fix infinite recursive notifier in the fbdev layer. This causes recursive locking. Dmitry Baryshkov found the problem and confirmed that the patch fixes the bug. After doing # echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank I got the following in my kernel log: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.27-rc6-00086-gda63874-dirty #97 --------------------------------------------- echo/1564 is trying to acquire lock: ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c but task is already holding lock: ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by echo/1564: #0: (&buffer->mutex){--..}, at: [<c00ddde0>] sysfs_write_file+0x30/0x80 #1: ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c stack backtrace: [<c0029fe4>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x14) from [<c0060ce0>] (print_deadlock_bug+0xa4/0xd0) [<c0060c3c>] (print_deadlock_bug+0x0/0xd0) from [<c0060e54>] (check_deadlock+0x148/0x17c) r6:c397a1e0 r5:c397a530 r4:c04fcf98 [<c0060d0c>] (check_deadlock+0x0/0x17c) from [<c00637e8>] (validate_chain+0x3c4/0x4f0) [<c0063424>] (validate_chain+0x0/0x4f0) from [<c0063efc>] (__lock_acquire+0x5e8/0x6b4) [<c0063914>] (__lock_acquire+0x0/0x6b4) from [<c006402c>] (lock_acquire+0x64/0x78) [<c0063fc8>] (lock_acquire+0x0/0x78) from [<c0316ca8>] (down_read+0x4c/0x60) r7:00000009 r6:ffffffff r5:c0427a40 r4:c005a384 [<c0316c5c>] (down_read+0x0/0x60) from [<c005a384>] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c) r5:c0427a40 r4:c0427a74 [<c005a34c>] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x6c) from [<c005a3d8>] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x20/0x28) r8:00000009 r7:c086d640 r6:c3967940 r5:00000000 r4:c38984b8 [<c005a3b8>] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x28) from [<c014baa0>] (fb_notifier_call_chain+0x1c/0x24) [<c014ba84>] (fb_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x24) from [<c014c18c>] (fb_blank+0x64/0x70) [<c014c128>] (fb_blank+0x0/0x70) from [<c0155978>] (fbcon_blank+0x114/0x1bc) r5:00000001 r4:c38984b8 [<c0155864>] (fbcon_blank+0x0/0x1bc) from [<c0170ea8>] (do_blank_screen+0x1e0/0x2a0) [<c0170cc8>] (do_blank_screen+0x0/0x2a0) from [<c0154024>] (fbcon_fb_blanked+0x74/0x94) r5:c3967940 r4:00000001 [<c0153fb0>] (fbcon_fb_blanked+0x0/0x94) from [<c0154228>] (fbcon_event_notify+0x100/0x12c) r5:fffffffe r4:c39bc194 [<c0154128>] (fbcon_event_notify+0x0/0x12c) from [<c005a0d4>] (notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x7c) [<c005a09c>] (notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x7c) from [<c005a3a0>] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x54/0x6c) r8:c3b51ea0 r7:00000009 r6:ffffffff r5:c0427a40 r4:c0427a74 [<c005a34c>] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x6c) from [<c005a3d8>] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x20/0x28) r8:00000001 r7:c3a7e000 r6:00000000 r5:00000000 r4:c38984b8 [<c005a3b8>] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x28) from [<c014baa0>] (fb_notifier_call_chain+0x1c/0x24) [<c014ba84>] (fb_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x24) from [<c014c18c>] (fb_blank+0x64/0x70) [<c014c128>] (fb_blank+0x0/0x70) from [<c014e450>] (store_blank+0x54/0x7c) r5:c38984b8 r4:c3b51ec4 [<c014e3fc>] (store_blank+0x0/0x7c) from [<c017981c>] (dev_attr_store+0x28/0x2c) r8:00000001 r7:c042bf80 r6:c39eba10 r5:c3967c30 r4:c38e0140 [<c01797f4>] (dev_attr_store+0x0/0x2c) from [<c00ddaac>] (flush_write_buffer+0x54/0x68) [<c00dda58>] (flush_write_buffer+0x0/0x68) from [<c00dde08>] (sysfs_write_file+0x58/0x80) r8:c3b51f78 r7:c3bcb070 r6:c39eba10 r5:00000001 r4:00000001 [<c00dddb0>] (sysfs_write_file+0x0/0x80) from [<c009de04>] (vfs_write+0xb8/0x148) [<c009dd4c>] (vfs_write+0x0/0x148) from [<c009e384>] (sys_write+0x44/0x70) r7:00000004 r6:c3bcb070 r5:00000000 r4:00000000 [<c009e340>] (sys_write+0x0/0x70) from [<c0025d00>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x2c) r6:4001b000 r5:00000001 r4:401dc658 Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Reported-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dbaryshkov@gmail.com> Testted-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dbaryshkov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-03rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIO nofiticationMarcin Slusarz
When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes. So disable SIGIO notification on close.

2008-10-03[S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.Heiko Carstens
This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc576ae53c92a66e63fce7ddcfa74691 ("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits."). If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop. In addition this patch fixes also the following: rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy, since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded. Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-10-03e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warningLinus Torvalds
Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the preempt count. At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't check that interrupts were enabled. The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

2008-10-02Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource filesLinus Torvalds
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original explanation: It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs. However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time, similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level PCI remapping routines. It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious reasons. and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes) in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc. Acked-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-02mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDERAndy Whitcroft
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages, and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which follows, BAD. When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from the start of the page. This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs. Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.

The previous patch db203d53d474aa068984e409d807628f5841da1b ("mm: tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace). However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

2008-10-02memory hotplug: missing zone->lock in test_pages_isolated()Gerald Schaefer
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() in mm/page_isolation.c has a comment saying that the caller must hold zone->lock. But the only caller of that function, test_pages_isolated(), does not hold zone->lock and the lock is also not acquired anywhere before. This patch adds the missing zone->lock to test_pages_isolated(). We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below. This patch fixes that problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27. kernel BUG at /home/autobuild/BUILD/linux-2.6.26-20080909/mm/page_alloc.c:4561! illegal operation: 0001 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: dm_multipath sunrpc bonding qeth_l3 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup vmur CPU: 1 Not tainted 2.6.26-29.x.20080909-s390default #1 Process memory_loop_all (pid: 10025, task: 2f444028, ksp: 2b10dd28) Krnl PSW : 040c0000 801727ea (__offline_isolated_pages+0x18e/0x1c4) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 Krnl GPRS: 00000000 7e27fc00 00000000 7e27fc00 00000000 00000400 00014000 7e27fc01 00606f00 7e27fc00 00013fe0 2b10dd28 00000005 80172662 801727b2 2b10dd28 Krnl Code: 801727de: 5810900c l %r1,12(%r9) 801727e2: a7f4ffb3 brc 15,80172748 801727e6: a7f40001 brc 15,801727e8 >801727ea: a7f4ffbc brc 15,80172762 801727ee: a7f40001 brc 15,801727f0 801727f2: a7f4ffaf brc 15,80172750 801727f6: 0707 bcr 0,%r7 801727f8: 0017 unknown Call Trace: ([<0000000000172772>] __offline_isolated_pages+0x116/0x1c4) [<00000000001953a2>] offline_isolated_pages_cb+0x22/0x34 [<000000000013164c>] walk_memory_resource+0xcc/0x11c [<000000000019520e>] offline_pages+0x36a/0x498 [<00000000001004d6>] remove_memory+0x36/0x44 [<000000000028fb06>] memory_block_change_state+0x112/0x150 [<000000000028ffb8>] store_mem_state+0x90/0xe4 [<0000000000289c00>] sysdev_store+0x34/0x40 [<00000000001ee048>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x178 [<000000000019b1a8>] vfs_write+0x74/0x118 [<000000000019b9ae>] sys_write+0x46/0x7c [<000000000011160e>] sysc_do_restart+0x12/0x16 [<0000000077f3e8ca>] 0x77f3e8ca Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 00c5372d37a78990c1530184a9c792ee60a30067 caused the MPC8544DS board to hang at boot. The MPC8544DS is unique in that it doesn't use the PCI slots on the ULI (unlike the MPC8572DS or MPC8610HPCD). So the dummy read at the end of the address space causes us to hang. We can detect the situation by comparing the bridge's BARs versus the root complex. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-10-01MN10300: Fix IRQ handlingDavid Howells
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch. This patch makes a number of significant changes: (1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from the one for level-triggered interrupts. This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register. Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is still asserting its interrupt line at this point. (2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as __do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do. (5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end. (6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is masked. Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead. It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

2008-10-01dm mpath: add missing path switching lockingChandra Seetharaman
Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.
