      [PATCH] ufs: ufs_get_locked_page() race fix · 1fb32b7b
      Evgeniy Dushistov 提交于
      As discussed earlier:
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136
      this patch fixes such issue:
      
      `ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache
      after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache
      `ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error.
      
      Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no
      need to check it if page not NULL.

      [PATCH] bug in futex unqueue_me · e91467ec
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      This patch adds a barrier() in futex unqueue_me to avoid aliasing of two
      pointers.
      
      On my s390x system I saw the following oops:
      
      Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address
      0000000000000000

      The code in question is:

              int ret = 0;
              spinlock_t *lock_ptr;
      
              /* In the common case we don't take the spinlock, which is nice. */
       retry:
              lock_ptr = q->lock_ptr;
              if (lock_ptr != 0) {
                      spin_lock(lock_ptr);
      		/*

      [...]
      
      and my compiler (gcc 4.1.0) makes the following out of it:

      		/* write q->lock_ptr in r12 */
           3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
           3f8:       a7 84 00 4b             je      48e <unqueue_me+0xc6>
      		/* if r12 is zero then jump over the code.... */
           3fc:       e3 20 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r2,40(%r11)
      		/* write q->lock_ptr in r2 */
           402:       c0 e5 00 00 00 00       brasl   %r14,402 <unqueue_me+0x3a>
                              404: R_390_PC32DBL      _spin_lock+0x2
      		/* use r2 as parameter for spin_lock */
      
      So the code becomes more or less:
      if (q->lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(q->lock_ptr)
      instead of
      if (lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(lock_ptr)
      
      Which caused the oops from above.
      After adding a barrier gcc creates code without this problem:
      [...] (the same)
           3ee:       e3 c0 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r12,40(%r11)
           3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
           3f8:       b9 04 00 2c             lgr     %r2,%r12
           3fc:       a7 84 00 48             je      48c <unqueue_me+0xc4>
           400:       c0 e5 00 00 00 00       brasl   %r14,400 <unqueue_me+0x38>
                              402: R_390_PC32DBL      _spin_lock+0x2
      
      As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic
      of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of
      q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We
      know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original
      spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

      [PATCH] disable debugging version of write_lock() · 72f0b4e2
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      We've confirmed that the debug version of write_lock() can get stuck for long
      enough to cause NMI watchdog timeouts and hence a crash.
      
      We don't know why, yet.   Disable it for now.
      
      Also disable the similar read_lock() code.  Just in case.
      
      Thanks to Dave Olson <olson@unixfolk.com> for reporting and testing.

      [PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint · a7ef7878
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
      traced process that has just reached a breakpoint.  However, this is a
      special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
      then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
      If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.
