18 years agoNAND: Fix NAND ECC errors on AMD Au1550
Sergei Shtylyov [Tue, 16 May 2006 16:52:06 +0000 (20:52 +0400)]
NAND: Fix NAND ECC errors on AMD Au1550

    On AMD Au1550 the static bus controller fails to keep -CE asserted during
chip ready delay on read commands and the NAND chip being used requires this.
So, the current driver allows nand_base.c to drive -CE manually during the
entire sector read. When the PCMCIA driver is enabled however, occasionally
the ECC errors occur on NAND reads. This happens because the PCMCIA driver
polls sockets periodically and reads one of the board's control/status regs
(BCSRs) which are on the same static bus as the NAND flash, and just use
another chip select (and the NOR flash also resides on that bus), so as the
NAND driver forces NAND chip select asserted and the -RE signal is shared, a
contention occurs on the static bus when BCSR or NOR flash is read while we're
reading from NAND.
    So, we either can't keep interrupts enabled during the whole NAND sector
read (which is hardly acceptable), or have to implement some interlocking
scheme between multiple drivers (which is painful, and makes me shudder :-).
    There's a third way which has proven to work: to force -CE asserted only
while we're waiting for a NAND chip to become ready after a read command,
disabling interrupts for a maximum of 25 microseconds (according to Toshiba
TC58DVM92A1FT00 datasheet -- this chip is mentioned in the board schematics);
for Samsung NAND chip which seems to be actually used this delay is even less,
12 us.

NAND: AMD Au1550 driver reads write-only register

     During the last cleanup of the AMD Au1550 NAND driver the old buglet was
reintroduced: as the MEM_STNDCTL register is write-only and seem to always
read as 0x31, read-modify-write to it done in au1xxx_nand_init() will have the
side effect of enabling -RCS0/1 pin override (via bits 4/5 of this reg.), thus
possibly causing a contention on the static bus when the NOR flash (using
-RCS0) or board control status registers (using -RCS2) are read. Luckily, this
goes away with a first NAND access, since au1550_hwcontrol() doesn't try to
read this register before writing anymore.

Jan Niehusmann [Mon, 15 May 2006 16:44:12 +0000 (09:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path

Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link.  I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.

In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS.  Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.

In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:

        if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
                /*
                 * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
                 * request from the recvq/xmitq.
                 */
                smb_lock_server(server);
                if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
                        list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
                        smb_rput(req);
                }
                smb_unlock_server(server);
        }
[...]
        if (signal_pending(current))
                req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;

I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set.  This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.

Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab.  As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).

If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.

I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.

symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock.  This deadlocks the kernel of course.

This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly.  Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address().  The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

[PATCH] VIA quirk fixup, additional PCI IDs

An earlier commit (75cf7456dd87335f574dcd53c4ae616a2ad71a11) changed an
overly-zealous PCI quirk to only poke those VIA devices that need it.
However, some PCI devices were not included in what I hope is now the full
list.  Consequently we're failing to run the quirk on all machines which need
it, causing IRQ routing failures.

This should I hope correct this.

Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@masoud.ir> for pointing this out
and testing the fix.

[JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files.

We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
picked for GC.

One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
offending nodes will be garbage collected.

The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()

the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().

Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.

[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
  use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock.  Instead we remember that
  we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
  the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

Revert "[BLOCK] Fix oops on removal of SD/MMC card"

This reverts commit 56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7.

Both Erik Mouw and Andrew Vasquez independently pinpointed this commit
as causing problems, where the slab cache for a driver is never released
(most obviously causing problems when immediately re-loading that
driver, resulting in a "kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache <xyz>"
message, but it can also cause other trouble).

James Bottomley dug into it, and reports:

  "OK, here's the scoop.  The problem patch adds a get of driverfs_dev in
   add_disk(), but doesn't put it again until disk_release() (which occurs
   on final put_disk() of the gendisk).

   However, in SCSI, the driverfs_dev is the sdev_gendev.  That means
   there's a reference held on sdev_gendev  until final disk put.
   Unfortunately, we use the driver model driver_remove to trigger
   del_gendisk (which removes the gendisk from visibility and decrements
   the refcount), so we've introduced an unbreakable deadlock in the
   reference counting with this.

   I suggest simply reversing this patch at the moment.  If Russell and
   Jens can tell me what they're trying to do I'll see if there's another
   way to do it."

so hereby the patch gets reverted, waiting for a better fix.
