[PATCH] Fix root hole in pktcdvd
ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel. If the "arg" argument
refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl
function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev). This works on i386 because
even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with
put_user/get_user. That is not true for s390. In short the ioctl
implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.

[PATCH] Fix root hole in raw device
[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through
Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to. Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().
ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.
This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning. The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem. Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail. I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)
The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems. It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM. I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).
Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

[PATCH] uml: Fix process exit race
tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in
switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE.
In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set
exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush,
which might sleep). If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in
switch_to_tt with:
write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9
We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in
release_thread_tt. Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing.
switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but
must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines
switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

o VP-1020 (DST-MOT) Errors during tuning, device detection fails in a while.
o VP-1030 (DST-CI) Tuning sometimes fails after CI commands.
o VP-2031 (DCT-CI) Tuning problems
The timeout happens before the actual timeout occured in the MCU
on the board, and hence the problems.
Changes: (bttv-i2c.diff)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Changed the custom wait queue to wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
- Suggestion by Johannes Stezenbach.
o Fixed the wait queue timeout problem
- This fixes the timeout problem on various cards.
- This problem was visible as many
* Cannot tune to channels, when signal levels are very low.
* app_info does not work in some conditions for CI based cards
- Smaller values worked good for newer cards, but the older cards

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.
No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

[PATCH] setitimer timer expires too early
It seems that the code responsible for this is in kernel/itimer.c:126:
p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval;
add_timer(&p->signal->real_timer);
If you request an interval of, lets say 900 usecs, the interval given by
timeval_to_jiffies will be 1.
If you request this when we are half-way between two timer ticks, the
interval will only give 400 usecs.
If we want to guarantee that we never ever give intervals less than
requested, the simple solution would be to change that to:
p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval + 1;
This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system
being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts,
whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms.
The complex (and more computationally expensive) solution would be to
check the gettimeofday time, and compute the correct number of jiffies.
This way, if we request a 300 usecs timer 200 usecs inside the timer
tick, we can wait just one tick, but not if we are 800 usecs inside the
tick. This would also mean that we would have to lock preemption during
these computations to avoid races, etc.
I've searched the archives but couldn't find this particular issue being
discussed before.
Attached is a patch to do the simple solution, in case anybody thinks
that it should be used.

[PATCH] __block_write_full_page() simplification
The `last_bh' logic probably isn't worth much. In those situations where only
the front part of the page is being written out we will save some looping but
in the vastly more common case of an all-page writeout if just adds more code.

[PATCH] __block_write_full_page speedup
Remove all those get_bh()'s and put_bh()'s by extending lock_page() to cover
the troublesome regions.
(get_bh() and put_bh() happen every time whereas contention on a page's lock
in there happens basically never).

[PATCH] __block_write_full_page race fix
When running
fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2
on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte
page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would
very quickly hit
BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh));
in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write
It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh
at a time.
What would happen is the following:
2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page.
Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page.
Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers.
Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page.
Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback
Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers.
=> both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write,
end_page_writeback is called.
Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page.
Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer
Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that.
Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer.
=> oops.
So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh
we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last
request.

[PATCH] fix race in __block_prepare_write
Fix a race where __block_prepare_write can leak out an in-flight read
against a bh if get_block returns an error. This can lead to the page
becoming unlocked while the buffer is locked and the read still in flight.
__mpage_writepage BUGs on this condition.
BUG sighted on a 2-way Itanium2 system with 16K PAGE_SIZE running
fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2
where $DIR is a new ext2 filesystem with 4K blocks that is quite
small (causing get_block to fail often with -ENOSPC).
