Paul Jackson [Fri, 27 May 2005 09:02:43 +0000 (02:02 -0700)]
[PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fix

There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code
to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset.
The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a
cpuset that has been removed.  In the most common case, this
causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path.
However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least.

The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the
count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request,
if appropriate.  However, once the count goes to zero, unless we
are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to
stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely,
and recycling its memory.

The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem
semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with
notify_on_release.  However we don't want to force a global
semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create
a scaling problem.

The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue
for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big
cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem
for cpusets using notify_on_release.

This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running
a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing
kernel in seconds.  This patch applies to the current -linus
git kernel.

[PATCH] remove non-cleanroom pwc driver compression

The original pwc author raised some questions about the reverse
engineering of the decompressor algorithms used in the pwc driver.
Having done some detailed investigation it appears those concerns that
clean room policy was not followed are reasonable.  I've also had a
friendly discussion with Philips to ask their view on this.

This removes the problem items of code which reduces the pwc
functionality in the kernel a little but leaves all the framework for
setup that will be needed for decompressors in user space (where they
eventually belong).  This change set is designed to be the minimal risk
change set given that 2.6.12 is hopefully close to hand, with a view to
merging the much updated pwc code in 2.6.13 series kernels.

Someone else can then redo the decompressors properly (clean room) in
user space.

Note that while its easy to say that it should have been caught earlier,
but the violation was really only obvious to someone who had access to
both the proprietary source and the 'GPL' source.

to peek like TBF does.

By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems
happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested
discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the
effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was
no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync.

The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of
requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue
should always work.  Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's

[PATCH] libata: Fix zero sg_dma_len() on 64-bit platform

When testing ATAPI PIO data transfer on the ppc64 platform,  __atapi_pio_bytes() got zero when
sg_dma_len() is used. I checked the <asm-ppc64/scatterlish.h>, the struct scatterlist is defined as:

struct scatterlist {
struct page *page;
unsigned int offset;
unsigned int length;

/* For TCE support */
u32 dma_address;
u32 dma_length;
};

#define sg_dma_address(sg) ((sg)->dma_address)
#define sg_dma_len(sg) ((sg)->dma_length)

So, if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped, sg_dma_len() will return zero on ppc64.
The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform.
On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386.

Changes:
- Use sg->length if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped (yet).

19 years ago[PATCH] fix for __generic_file_aio_read() to return 0 on EOF
Suparna Bhattacharya [Sat, 21 May 2005 23:33:36 +0000 (16:33 -0700)]
[PATCH] fix for __generic_file_aio_read() to return 0 on EOF

I came across the following problem while running ltp-aiodio testcases from
ltp-full-20050405 on linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3.  I tried running the tests with
EXT3 as well as JFS filesystems.

One or two fsx-linux testcases were hung after some time.  These testcases
were hanging at wait_for_all_aios().

Debugging shows that there were some iocbs which were not getting completed
eventhough the last retry for those returned -EIOCBQUEUED.  Also all such
pending iocbs represented READ operation.

Further debugging revealed that all such iocbs hit EOF in the DIO layer.
To be more precise, the "pos" from which they were trying to read was
greater than the "size" of the file.  So the generic_file_direct_IO
returned 0.

This happens rarely as there is already a check in
__generic_file_aio_read(), for whether "pos" < "size" before calling direct
IO routine.

>size = i_size_read(inode);
>if (pos < size) {
>   retval = generic_file_direct_IO(READ, iocb,
>                               iov, pos, nr_segs);

But for READ, we are taking the inode->i_sem only in the DIO layer.  So it
is possible that some other process can change the size of the file before
we take the i_sem.  In such a case ( when "pos" > "size"), the
__generic_file_aio_read() would return -EIOCBQUEUED even though there were
no I/O requests submitted by the DIO layer.  This would cause the AIO layer
to expect aio_complete() for THE iocb, which doesnot happen.  And thus the
test hangs forever, waiting for an I/O completion, where there are no
requests submitted at all.

The following patch makes __generic_file_aio_read() return 0 (instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED), on getting 0 from generic_file_direct_IO(), so
that the AIO layer does the aio_complete().

Testing:

I have tested the patch on a SMP machine(with 2 Pentium 4 (HT)) running
linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3.  I ran the ltp-aiodio testcases and none of the
fsx-linux tests hung.  Also the aio-stress tests ran without any problem.

[PATCH] spin_unlock_bh() and preempt_check_resched()

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \
_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \

} while (0)

there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()

Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...

This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.
