The purpose of nla_parse_nested_compat() is to parse attributes which contain a struct followed by a stream of nested attributes. So far, it called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes which was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute as data which holds the attribute stream. It needs to call nla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment point after the struct in the beginning of the attribute. With this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover warnings. Signed-off-by: NThomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Since commit e38bad47 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware). This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock, and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name: ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces().

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in vmlinux.lds, not by module loader. To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group ".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu" for modules. Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

I noticed this because alpha was broken due to the recent commit commit bdc80787 ("avoid overflows in kernel/time.c"). Most arches do something like this in their asm/param.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ # define HZ CONFIG_HZ #else # define HZ 100 #endif A few arches though (namely alpha/h8300/um/v850/xtensa) either do no set HZ at all for !__KERNEL__, or they set it wrongly. This should bring all arches in line by setting up HZ for userspace.

There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior. This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from the wireless extensions. this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future. for signal: IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW for noise we currently only have dBm: IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications to make sense of the signal values. i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing the hardware flags of the driver.

There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see find_linux_pte()). The race is as follows: The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted into the pagetables. At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores from the other CPU have cleared the memory. There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory. Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether split ptes are enabled or not. I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads in order).

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's nothing in the API to prevent it. Unfortunately there's a known case in NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would result in bugs. To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default, but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

由 Jeff Dike 提交于
The random driver would essentially hang if the host's /dev/random returned -EAGAIN. There was a test of need_resched followed by a schedule inside the loop, but that didn't help and it's the wrong way to work anyway. The right way is to ask for an interrupt when there is input available from the host and handle it then rather than polling. Now, when the host's /dev/random returns -EAGAIN, the driver asks for a wakeup when there's randomness available again and sleeps. The interrupt routine just wakes up whatever processes are sleeping on host_read_wait. There is an atomic_t, host_sleep_count, which counts the number of processes waiting for randomness. When this reaches zero, the interrupt is disabled. An added complication is that async I/O notification was only recently added to /dev/random (by me), so essentially all hosts will lack it. So, we use the sigio workaround here, which is to have a separate thread poll on the descriptor and send an interrupt when there is input on it. This mechanism is activated when a process gets -EAGAIN (activating this multiple times is harmless, if a bit wasteful) and deactivated by the last process still waiting. The module name was changed from "random" to "hw_random" in order for udev to recognize it. The sigio workaround needed some changes. sigio_broken was added for cases when we know that async notification doesn't work. This is now called from maybe_sigio_broken, which deals with pts devices.
