[PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completion

If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above.  This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.

In fact, there are three separate issues:

1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
   completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.

2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
   task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.

3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
   and we can no longer send it a signal.

So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

[PATCH] ide: Workaround PM problem

The logic in ide_do_request() doesn't guarantee that both drives will be
serviced after a call.  It may "forget" to service one in some
circumstances, including when one of the drive is suspended (it will
eventually fail to service the slave when the master is suspended for
example).  This prevents the wakeup requests that gets queued on wakeup
from sleep from beeing serviced in some cases when 2 drives are sharing
an IDE bus.

The problem is deep enough in the way this code works (and there are
probably a few other problematic but rare corner cases) and fixing it
would require some major rethinking of the way IDE decides which channel
to service.  This is not 2.6.14 material.  However, in the meantime,
Bart has accepted this simple workaround that will fix the crash on
wakeup from sleep since this specific corner case is actually hitting
users to get into 2.6.14.

Rafael J. Wysocki [Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:19:40 +0000 (21:19 +0200)]
[PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resume

The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64.  This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.

The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM.  If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system.  This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue.  Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).

The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself.  Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e.  the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e.  the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed).  Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e.  there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend).  Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.

In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie.  from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()).  Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL.  Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.

All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c.  It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.

Commit 44456d37b59d8e541936ed26d8b6e08d27e88ac1, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4,
was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part.

It broke because:
a) because this part doesn't fall under the description
b) the author didn't know what he was doing here
c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked
   perfectly.
d) the author didn't ask us what was happening
e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit
   different.

In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes.

In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world;
and on-disk compatibility was broken.

Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an
endianness problem.

Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions
would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files.

Next patch addresses that.

Oleg Nesterov [Fri, 7 Oct 2005 13:46:19 +0000 (17:46 +0400)]
[PATCH] fix do_coredump() vs SIGSTOP race

Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group:
A - does coredump
B - has pending SIGSTOP

thread A thread B

do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver:

  lock(->sighand)
  ->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
  unlock(->sighand)

lock(->sighand)
signr = dequeue_signal()
->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
return SIGSTOP;

do_signal_stop:
    unlock(->sighand)

  coredump_wait:

      zap_threads:
          lock(tasklist_lock)
          send SIGKILL to B
              // signal_wake_up() does nothing
          unlock(tasklist_lock)

    lock(tasklist_lock)
    lock(->sighand)
    re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes
    set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED);
    finish_stop:
        schedule();
            // ->state == TASK_STOPPED

      wait_for_completion(&startup_done)
         // waits for complete() from B,
         // ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

We can't wake up 'B' in any way:

SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees
->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.

sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose
uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help.

sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info()
because B already has pending SIGKILL.

This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because
it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to
subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock.
That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other
thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal()
can only return SIGKILL.

I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL)
and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much
simpler.

Avoid 'names_cache' memory leak with CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL

The nameidata "last.name" is always allocated with "__getname()", and
should always be free'd with "__putname()".

Using "putname()" without the underscores will leak memory, because the
allocation will have been hidden from the AUDITSYSCALL code.

Arguably the real bug is that the AUDITSYSCALL code is really broken,

[IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt storm

I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.

There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work().  But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.

The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU.  This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.
