      libata: Fix a large collection of DMA mode mismatches · b15b3eba
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Dave Müller sent a diff for the pata_oldpiix that highlighted a problem
      where a lot of the ATA drivers assume dma_mode == 0 means "no DMA" while
      the core code uses 0xFF.
      
      This turns out to have other consequences such as code doing >= XFER_UDMA_0
      also catching 0xFF as UDMAlots. Fortunately it doesn't generally affect
      set_dma_mode, although some drivers call back into their own set mode code
      from other points.
      
      Having been through the drivers I've added helpers for using_udma/using_mwdma
      dma_enabled so that people don't open code ranges that may change (eg if UDMA8
      appears somewhere)
      
      Thanks to David for the initial bits

      libata: restore SControl on detach · d127ea7b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Save SControl during probing and restore it on detach.  This prevents
      adjustments made by libata drivers to seep into the next driver which
      gets attached (be it a libata one or not).
      
      It's not clear whether SControl also needs to be restored on suspend.
      The next system to have control (ACPI or kexec'd kernel) would
      probably like to see the original SControl value but there's no
      guarantee that a link is gonna keep working after SControl is adjusted
      without a reset and adding a reset and modified recovery cycle soley
      for this is an overkill.  For now, do it only for detach.

      USB: Defer Set-Interface for suspended devices · 55151d7d
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1128) fixes one of the problems related to the new PM
      infrastructure.  We are not allowed to register new child devices
      during the middle of a system sleep transition, but unbinding a USB
      driver causes the core to automatically install altsetting 0 and
      thereby create new endpoint pseudo-devices.
      
      The patch fixes this problem (and the related problem that installing
      altsetting 0 will fail if the device is suspended) by deferring the
      Set-Interface call until some later time when it is legal and can
      succeed.  Possible later times are: when a new driver is being probed
      for the interface, and when the interface is being resumed.

      nohz: fix wrong event handler after online an offlined cpu · 3c4fbe5e
      Miao Xie 提交于
      On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after
      I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was
      tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler.
      
      After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode.  the
      tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline.

      mm: dirty page tracking race fix · 479db0bf
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
      be accounted for.
      
      clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
      
      page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
      write protects the pte if it was dirty.  It uses page_check_address to
      find the pte.  That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
      not present.  Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
      back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
      should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
      be dirty.
      
      For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
      before setting it to the desired value.  There may also be other code in
      core mm or in arch which do similar things.
      
      The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
      loss of dirty page accounting accuracy.  XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
      also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
      lead to data corruption.
      
      Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
      page_check_address.
      
      It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
      try_to_unmap.

      fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage · 2d70b68d

      When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP

      process, ignoring all other sibling thread.

      security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() · 5cd9c58f
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
      the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
      change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
      
      __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags.  This
      patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
      PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
      
      This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
      
       (1) security_ptrace_may_access().  This passes judgement on whether one
           process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
           PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
           current is the parent.
      
       (2) security_ptrace_traceme().  This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
           and takes only a pointer to the parent process.  current is the child.
      
           In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
           the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
           This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
      
      Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
      been changed to calls to capable().
      
      Of the places that were using __capable():
      
       (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
           process.  All of these now use has_capability().
      
       (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
           whether the parent was allowed to trace any process.  As mentioned above,
           these have been split.  For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
           used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
      
       (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
      
       (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
           after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
           switched and capable() is used instead.
      
       (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
           receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
      
       (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
           whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
      
      I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.
