      remove task_ppid_nr_ns · 84427eae
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places.  One of these should never
      have called it.  In the other two, using it broke the existing
      semantics.  This was presumably accidental.  If the function had not
      been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those
      patches were changing the behavior.  We don't need this function.
      
      In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer.
      
      In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
      I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't
      need it.
      
      In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

      sh: Fix argument page dcache flushing regression. · 844b43ad
      Carmelo Amoroso 提交于
      In the do_execve() path, argument page handling used to explicitly call
      flush_dcache_page() for each page, this has since been reworked and
      uses flush_kernel_dcache_page() instead, which is presently a nop.
      
      Doing a simple modprobe/rmmod in a loop under busybox consistently
      manages to crash without providing a sane flush_kernel_dcache_page()
      implementation, so, plug in a simple implementation.

      CPU hotplug: fix cpu_is_offline() on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU · a263898f
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code
      crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and
      if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
      kernel.
      
      First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock
      sequence:
      
       =====================================
       [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]

       [<ffffffff806ffd8e>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42
       but there are no more locks to release!
      
      Call Trace:

       [<ffffffff807008b6>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x2a8/0x5c4
       ...
      
      then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:
      
       ------------[ cut here ]------------
       kernel BUG at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:1068!
       invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP

       [...]
       ---[ end trace 1e9219be2b4431de ]---
      
      the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
      secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
      which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
      
        /* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
        static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
      
      but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
      a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
      the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
      possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
      secondary core:
      
       cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
       cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
       powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
       cpufreq-core: initialization failed
       cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
       cpufreq-core: initialization failed
      
      which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
      the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
      boots up fine without crashing:
      
       Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
       powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
       powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
       initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19.
       initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
       Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
      
      We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
      would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
      possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
      
      Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
      remained hidden for a long time.
      
      Bug forensics:
      
      The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:
      
       commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
       Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
       Date:   Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800
      
           [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs
      
      ( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
        historic git tree. )
      
      Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:
      
       commit c32b6b8e
       Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
       Date:   Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800
      
           [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
      
       +       if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
       +               return 0;
      
      which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
      shipped with this bug included.
      
      then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

      Revert "scsi: revert "[SCSI] Get rid of scsi_cmnd->done"" · 7b3d9545
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit ac40532e, which gets
      us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c2.
      
      It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
      apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
      testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
      
      The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
      
        "pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
         device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
         nothing that sets it back.  (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
         CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
      
         The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
         when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
         run.  The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
         blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
         bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
      
      In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
      6f5391c2 is applied or not):
      
        " 1. Start with an empty drive.
          2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
          3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
          4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
          5. umount /mnt/tmp
          6. Press the eject button.
          7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
          8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
          9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
          10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
              get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
              "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
      
      which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
      cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
      the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
      other people holding the device open).
      
      The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
      
      	bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
      
      in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
      original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
      change the block size of the device).
