2008-08-20fbdefio: add set_page_dirty handler to deferred IO FBIan Campbell
Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473. Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was removed with: commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1 Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Date: Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700 tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem. v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise races per AKPM's concerns.

2008-08-20mm: dirty page tracking race fixNick Piggin
There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly be accounted for. clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty. page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may be dirty. For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in core mm or in arch which do similar things. The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can lead to data corruption. Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in page_check_address. It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and try_to_unmap.

2008-08-20fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakageKen Chen
When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process, ignoring all other sibling thread. Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and ioprio_{set/get}.

Fix it by removing the unnecessary '#define __user' from the file. The new headers ivtv.h and ivtvfb.h would have the same problem... if whoever put them there had actually remembered to add them to the Kbuild file while he was at it. Fix those too, and export them as was presumably intended. Note that includes of <linux/compiler.h> are also stripped by the header export process, so those don't need to be conditional.

2008-08-14security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

2008-08-13CRED: Introduce credential access wrappersDavid Howells
The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28 require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure, particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU will have to be observed. Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more easily. Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID, EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header files mitigates against making them inline functions. linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h. Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision otherwise incurred.

2008-08-13svcrdma: Fix race between svc_rdma_recvfrom thread and the dto_taskletTom Tucker
RDMA_READ completions are kept on a separate queue from the general I/O request queue. Since a separate lock is used to protect the RDMA_READ completion queue, a race exists between the dto_tasklet and the svc_rdma_recvfrom thread where the dto_tasklet sets the XPT_DATA bit and adds I/O to the read-completion queue. Concurrently, the recvfrom thread checks the generic queue, finds it empty and resets the XPT_DATA bit. A subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue will fail to enqueue the transport for I/O and cause the transport to "stall". The fix is to protect both lists with the same lock and set the XPT_DATA bit with this lock held. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-08-13[XFS] extend completions to provide XFS object flush requirementsDavid Chinner
XFS object flushing doesn't quite match existing completion semantics. It mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts fo completions to decrement the count. To do this we introduce: int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x) returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding object locks in inverted order. int completion_done(struct completion *x) returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter (i.e. a completion in progress). This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion and completion mechanism.

2008-08-12byteorder: add a new include/linux/swab.h to define byteswapping functionsHarvey Harrison
Collect the implementations from include/linux/byteorder/swab.h, swabb.h in swab.h The functionality provided covers: u16 swab16(u16 val) - return a byteswapped 16 bit value u32 swab32(u32 val) - return a byteswapped 32 bit value u64 swab64(u64 val) - return a byteswapped 64 bit value u32 swahw32(u32 val) - return a wordswapped 32 bit value u32 swahb32(u32 val) - return a high/low byteswapped 32 bit value Similar to above, but return swapped value from a naturally-aligned pointer u16 swab16p(u16 *p) u32 swab32p(u32 *p) u64 swab64p(u64 *p) u32 swahw32p(u32 *p) u32 swahb32p(u32 *p) Similar to above, but swap the value in-place (in-situ) void swab16s(u16 *p) void swab32s(u32 *p) void swab64s(u64 *p) void swahw32s(u32 *p) void swahb32s(u32 *p) Arches can override any of these with an optimized version by defining an inline in their asm/byteorder.h (example given for swab16()): u16 __arch_swab16() {} #define __arch_swab16 __arch_swab16 Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-08-12seq_file: add seq_cpumask(), seq_nodemask()Alexey Dobriyan
Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no good reason. This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with 1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns 1023, check returns -EINVAL. Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap. For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and seq_nodemask().

2008-08-12modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loaderArjan van de Ven
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug" on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes it will 1) print if it had an error code 2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off) and 3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds. While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.

2008-08-12intel/agp: rewrite GTT on resumeKeith Packard
On my Intel chipset (965GM), the GTT is entirely erased across suspend/resume. This patch simply re-plays the current mapping at resume time to restore the table.=20 I noticed this once I started relying on persistent GTT mappings across VT switch in our GEM work -- the old X server and DRM code carefully unbind all memory from the GTT on VT switch, but GEM does not bother. I placed the list management and rewrite code in the generic layer on the assumption that it will be needed on other hardware, but I did not add the rewrite call to anything other than the Intel resume function. Keep a list of current GATT mappings. At resume time, rewrite them into the GATT. This is needed on Intel (at least) as the entire GATT is cleared across suspend/resume.
