2008-06-23[patch 3/3] vfs: make d_path() consistent across mount operationsAndreas Gruenbacher
The path that __d_path() computes can become slightly inconsistent when it races with mount operations: it grabs the vfsmount_lock when traversing mount points but immediately drops it again, only to re-grab it when it reaches the next mount point. The result is that the filename computed is not always consisent, and the file may never have had that name. (This is unlikely, but still possible.) Fix this by grabbing the vfsmount_lock for the whole duration of __d_path().

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM pages passed to it are cleared. This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW. Once firmware with a fix is released, we can make the workaround conditional on firmware version.

2008-06-23[patch for 2.6.26 4/4] vfs: utimensat(): fix write access check for futimens()Michael Kerrisk
The POSIX.1 draft spec for futimens()/utimensat() says: Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the user ID of the file, *or with write access to the file*, or with appropriate privileges may use futimens() or utimensat() with a null pointer as the times argument or with both tv_nsec fields set to the special value UTIME_NOW. The important piece here is "with write access to the file", and this matters for futimens(), which deals with an argument that is a file descriptor referring to the file whose timestamps are being updated, The standard is saying that the "writability" check is based on the file permissions, not the access mode with which the file is opened. (This behavior is consistent with the semantics of FreeBSD's futimes().) However, Linux is currently doing the latter -- futimens(fd, times) is a library function implemented as utimensat(fd, NULL, times, 0) and within the utimensat() implementation we have the code: f = fget(dfd); // dfd is 'fd' ... if (f) { if (!(f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE)) goto mnt_drop_write_and_out; The check should instead be based on the file permissions. Thanks to Miklos for pointing out how to do this check. Miklos also pointed out a simplification that could be made to my first version of this patch, since the checks for the pathname and file descriptor cases can now be conflated.

2008-06-23[patch for 2.6.26 3/4] vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for ↵Michael Kerrisk
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says: Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the user ID of the file or with appropriate privileges may use futimens() or utimensat() with a non-null times argument that does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_NOW and does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_OMIT. If this condition is violated, then the error EPERM should result. However, the current implementation does not generate EPERM if one tv_nsec field is UTIME_NOW while the other is UTIME_OMIT. It should give this error for that case. This patch: a) Repairs that problem. b) Removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function. c) Adds some comments to explain the checks that are being performed. Thanks to Miklos, who provided comments on the previous iteration of this patch. As a result, this version is a little simpler and and its logic is better structured. Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the is_owner_or_cap() checks into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag. Maybe we could do that later, but for now I've gone with this version, which is IMO simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.

2008-06-23[patch for 2.6.26 1/4] vfs: utimensat(): ignore tv_sec if tv_nsec == ↵Michael Kerrisk
UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says that if a times[n].tv_nsec field is UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW, then the value in the corresponding tv_sec field is ignored. See the last sentence of this para, from the spec: If the tv_nsec field of a timespec structure has the special value UTIME_NOW, the file's relevant timestamp shall be set to the greatest value supported by the file system that is not greater than the current time. If the tv_nsec field has the special value UTIME_OMIT, the file's relevant timestamp shall not be changed. In either case, the tv_sec field shall be ignored. However the current Linux implementation requires the tv_sec value to be zero (or the EINVAL error results). This requirement should be removed.

2008-06-23[patch for 2.6.26 2/4] vfs: utimensat(): be consistent with utime() for ↵Michael Kerrisk
immutable and append-only files This patch fixes utimensat() to make its behavior consistent with that of utime()/utimes() when dealing with files marked immutable and append-only. The current utimensat() implementation also returns EPERM if 'times' is non-NULL and the tv_nsec fields are both UTIME_NOW. For consistency, the (times != NULL && times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW && times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW) case should be treated like the traditional utimes() case where 'times' is NULL. That is, the call should succeed for a file marked append-only and should give the error EACCES if the file is marked as immutable. The simple way to do this is to set 'times' to NULL if (times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW && times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW). This is also the natural approach, since POSIX.1 semantics consider the times == {{x, UTIME_NOW}, {y, UTIME_NOW}} to be exactly equivalent to the case for times == NULL. (Thanks to Miklos for pointing this out.) Patch 3 in this series relies on the simplification provided by this patch.

2008-06-23futexes: fix fault handling in futex_lock_piThomas Gleixner
This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems. David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption, but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when the user space variable needs to be fixed up. The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user space. User space has no way to fixup that state. When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash bucket lock at this point to handle the fault. After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the user space variable: - the task which acquired the rtmutex - the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the first task already faulted the page in. One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the pi_state owner has been modified already.

2008-06-22Fix performance regression on lmbench select benchmarkLinus Torvalds
Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench: For example select file 500: 23 microseconds 32 microseconds and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched() in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly. This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance regression go away.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them. Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just drop the incoming packets. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following error: `.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4 versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3. The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to discarded section. Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables. Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem, other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider -fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

2008-06-20alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926)Ivan Kokshaysky
To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G. The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation. I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

2008-06-20[watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assemblyLinus Torvalds
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken, and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its own prologue and epilogue on top of it all. This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't matter, since it would never be reached). But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).
