Commit 4231d47e(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may cause skb traversing races: - after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released, the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue, even be released - in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained by next pointer of the last skb - so maybe trigger oops or other problems This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink' state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs. The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch: always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

It fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this issue). It enables the userspace a security level change when the socket is already connected and create a way to notify the socket the result of the request. At the moment of the request the socket is made non writable, if the request fails the connections closes, otherwise the socket is made writable again, POLL_OUT is emmited.

Hi, We have a bug report open where a squashfs image mounted on ppc64 would exhibit errors due to trying to read beyond the end of the disk.

Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if it fell inside of i_size.

With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all events in ftrace: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable [console] event trace: Could not enable event function This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned. This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no longer ignored. Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to be printed. By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set, setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable the function event and does not warn.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp replacement because of this. A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one due to this semantic difference.

Before this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 incorrectly referenced D3hot in some places, but D3cold in other places. After this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD; and all references to D3hot use ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT. ACPI's _PR3 method is used to enter both D3hot and D3cold states. What distinguishes D3hot from D3cold is the presence _PR3 (Power Resources for D3hot) If these resources are all ON, then the state is D3hot. If _PR3 is not present, or all _PR0 resources for the devices are OFF, then the state is D3cold. This patch applies after Linux-3.4-rc1. A future syntax cleanup may remove ACPI_STATE_D3 to emphasize that it always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD. Signed-off-by: NLin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Acked-by: NRafael J.

The normal read_seqcount_begin() function will wait for any current writers to exit their critical region by looping until the sequence count is even. That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all. HOWEVER. Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead will abort and do the operation with proper locking. So the sequence count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward progress. The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup. And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early", and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling. Thus this "raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it - it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.

We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in __read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up reloading the value in between the test and the return of it. As a result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write is in progress). If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being active. In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately afterwards. So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the reload. But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be incredibly annoying to debug. Let's just make sure. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that as a special packetized mode. When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer). End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway), and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of the packet. NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF). Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to explicitly support bigger packets some day. The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface, allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.

If multiple clients are registered on a single camera host interface, the user-space hot-plug software can try to access the one, that probed first, before probing of the second one has completed. This can be handled by individual host drivers, but it is even better to hold back the user-space until all the probing on this host has completed. This fixes a race on ecovec with two clients registered on the CEU1 host, which otherwise triggers a BUG() in sh_mobile_ceu_remove_device().

This patch (as1545) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers: The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers. Users have been forced to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep. After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3 power state. Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3 during system sleep. The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present, and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set. Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend. However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote wakeup requests while the system is asleep. Hence USB wakeup is not functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state of affairs. This fixes Bugzilla #42728.

For the particular issue of x32, which shares code with i386 in the handling of compat_siginfo_t, the use of a 64-bit clock_t bumps the sigchld structure out of alignment, which triggers a messy cascade of padding. This was already handled on the kernel compat side, but it needs handling on the user space side, which uses the generic header. To make that possible: 1. Allow __kernel_clock_t to be overridden in struct siginfo; 2. Allow there to be attributes added to struct siginfo. Reported-by: NH.J. Lu <hjl.rools@gmail.com> Cc: Bruce J.

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.
