    This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver.
    This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems).
    The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these
    devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used
    for testing (eeepc).
    Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe
    to do for this driver.  Alan has also checked with the hardware team.

and it is all true but once we put all things together additional
constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers
have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming
the controller.

I used the following test to check whether the issue is real:

  @@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_
    (timings[pio][1] << 8);
    }
    pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data);
  - if (is_slave)
  + if (is_slave) {
  + if (ap->port_no == 0) {
  + u8 tmp = slave_data;
  +
  + while (slave_data == tmp) {
  + pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp);
  + msleep(50);
  + }
  +
  + dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan "
  +    "race detected\n");
  + }
    pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data);
  + }

    /* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if
       UDMA is selected */

and it indeed triggered the error message.

Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode
and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers.

[ Alan: would be better to take the host lock in libata-core for these
  cases so that we fix all the adapters in one swoop.  "Looks fine as a

thermal_sys: check get_temp return value

The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a

This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation

sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS).  The following

This test case

quickly creates an unkillable task.

If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.

Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail.  In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.

If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag.  If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group.  If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.

We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all.  This patch only fixes the bug.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in

15 years agoflex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero

flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero

If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using
flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail
to return the data.

This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do
not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used.  Otherwise,
fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts
structures needed and such element may never have been put.  Thus, it will
remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base.

Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all
elements do not fit in the base structure.  This is otherwise unnecessary
since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already
hit a NULL pointer).

The problem is that on vSMP systems the CPUID derived
initial-APICIDs are overlapping - so we need to fall
back on hard_smp_processor_id() which reads the local
APIC.

Both come from the hardware (influenced by firmware
though) so it's a tough call which one to trust.

Doing the quirk expresses the vSMP property properly
and also does not affect other systems, so we go for
this solution instead of a revert.

David S. Miller [Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:47:46 +0000 (16:47 -0700)]
sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses.

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses.  But with kgdb, kernel
address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
crap.

So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
that actually exists.

In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
into the kernel image.  And in order to make that less expensive we
make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
physical address space.  We can do this because bit 41 indicates
"I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.

The result of this is that:

1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size

2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap

We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.

If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
inside of the cpu.  So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.

To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set.  We
could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
unnecessary extra memory reference.

On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
in the TLB miss path.
