I moved couple years ago, so let's update my email and snail mail.

And I do not have any access to Matrox hardware anymore, and I'm quite
unresponsive to matroxfb bug reports (sorry Alan), so saying that I'm
maintainer is a bit far fetched.

For ncpfs I do not use ncpfs in my daily life either, but at least I can
test that one, so I can stay listed here for odd fixes.

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73
will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head.  This is dangerous
because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the
"containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head.  So
the user can access RAM which does not belong to him.  If this is a write
access, we can end up with memory corruption.

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.

The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.

The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in
their scatterlist.  This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA
operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible.

Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the
dma_map_sg function.  This means that users must respect the returned
nents value.  The sample code is updated to reflect the change.

This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it
prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo.
This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo.
This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry
as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it.

Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call
to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries.  It returns
nents=2.  However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last()
will now return true for the first scatterlist element.  This causes the
sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print
two.

By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as
possible to the DMA mapping API.  All users are required to respect the
returned nents.

got fixed in commit 0f44fbd2 ("alpha: fix compile problem in

Since _BLOCKABLE is already the set of signals that can be blocked, the
code should do "newmask & _BLOCKABLE" rather than inverting _BLOCKABLE
before masking.

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to
30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was
that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but
making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the
50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was
constant across this time as well.  IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be
stuck on buffers that it could not push out.

Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode
buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting
woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out
delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress
because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan-
and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds,
before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then
things started going again.

However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there
were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be
exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very
interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log.
He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25%
of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what
really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only
8MB?

Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred
since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space.
That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't
log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail.
However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were
buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush
them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the
xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL
first committing.

The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which
should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is
being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The
background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there
is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read
mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there
was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background
push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt
would occur.

It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25%
of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could
definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half
the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system
crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why
delayed logging was tagged as experimental....

The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold
has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the
amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the
AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works.  It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return

However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines).  So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written.  So fix it to use 'long'.

comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.

This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
