      [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly · 1f6ef234
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.

This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).

But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this.  Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

      Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP · 89f5b7da
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

      [POWERPC] Clear sub-page HPTE present bits when demoting page size · 65ba6cdc
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an
HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k
HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k
subpage HPTE.  Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old
HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages
have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before
starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages.  If we don't do that, we
can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it
doesn't.

That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to
update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a
hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there
is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process
getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting.  The reason for the
confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are
looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN
in a stale HPTE for another 64k page.  For example, the HPTE for
the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have
the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000.

This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits.

      netlink: genl: fix circular locking · 6d1a3fb5
      由 Patrick McHardy 提交于 
      genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:

- dump start:
genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                        second time

- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex

Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.

      Revert "mac80211: Use skb_header_cloned() on TX path." · 3a5be7d4
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      This reverts commit 608961a5.

The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.

This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903.  Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).

In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key.  The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a
model for implementation.

      af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM sockets · 3c73419c
      由 Rainer Weikusat 提交于 
      The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude)
form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the
receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value
stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking
the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning
EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is
datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable
by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams
owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This
is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the
abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an
(usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request
with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.

The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
different places) into a single location.

      atl1: relax eeprom mac address error check · 58c7821c
      由 Radu Cristescu 提交于 
      The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly:

	- If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and
	  validate it.
	- If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from
	  SPI flash.
	- If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the
	  MAC Station Address register.
	- If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the
	  kernel.

We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all
zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle
this as an error condition.  Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes
a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we
never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all-
zeros address in EEPROM.

This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC
address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.

      net/enc28j60: low power mode · 7dac6f8d
      由 David Brownell 提交于 
      Keep enc28j60 chips in low-power mode when they're not in use.
At typically 120 mA, these chips run hot even when idle; this
low power mode cuts that power usage by a factor of around 100.

This version provides a generic routine to poll a register until
its masked value equals some value ... e.g. bit set or cleared.
It's basically what the previous wait_phy_ready() did, but this
version is generalized to support the handshaking needed to
enter and exit low power mode.
