2010-10-21UBI: fix check_data_ff return codeArtem Bityutskiy
When the data does not contain all 0xFF bytes, 'check_data_ff()' should return 1, not -EINVAL; Also, the caller ('process_eb()') should not add the PEB to the "corrupted" list if there was a read error. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-21UBI: remember copy_flag while scanningArtem Bityutskiy
While scanning the flash we read all VID headers and store some important information in 'struct ubi_scan_leb'. Store also the 'copy_flag' value there as it is needed when comparing LEBs. We do not increase memory consumption because this is just one bit and we have plenty of spare bits in 'struct ubi_scan_leb' (sizeof(struct ubi_scan_leb) is 48 both with and without this patch).

2010-10-19UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy
Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption. The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy potentially important data. With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead, UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB. IOW, UBI preserves this PEB. Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power cut corrupted PEBs is 8. This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter (Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches) tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier to analyze the corruption.

2010-10-19UBI: add truly corrupted PEBs to corrupted listArtem Bityutskiy
Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted, which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes. At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI preserving them.

2010-10-19UBI: make check_pattern function non-staticArtem Bityutskiy

2010-10-19UBI: do not put eraseblocks to the corrupted list unnecessarilyArtem Bityutskiy
Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning: 1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased 2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of corruption ASAP. However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid killing potentially valuable user data. This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: separate out corrupted listArtem Bityutskiy
This patch introduces 'add_corrupted()' function and separates out 'corr' list manipulation from the common 'add_to_list()' function. This is just a preparation for further changes - this patch does not change functionality. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: change cascade of ifs to switch statementsArtem Bityutskiy

2010-10-19UBI: rename a local variableArtem Bityutskiy
Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit more readable. 'ec_err' is more appropriate because it sounds more like 'error when EC was read' and it looks more logical because we use it together with 'err'. Just a minor nicification which should improve the rather complex scanning code. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: handle bit-flips when no header foundArtem Bityutskiy
Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only 0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list, even though there were bit-flips. Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

2010-10-19UBI: remove duplicate IO error codesArtem Bityutskiy
The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same and mean that there are only 0xFF bytes instead of headers. Simplify UBI a little by turning them into a single 'UBI_IO_FF' error code. Also, stop maintaining commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' which are almost identical to commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: rename IO error codeArtem Bityutskiy
Rename UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ into UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG which is presumably more self-documenting and readable. Indeed, the '_READ' suffix does not tell much and even confuses, while '_EBADMSG' tells about uncorrectable ECC error, because we use -EBADMSG all over the place to represent ECC errors.

2010-10-14Un-inline the core-dump helper functionsLinus Torvalds
Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.

2010-10-14Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumpsLinus Torvalds
akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping code). Just remove it. Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ... [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ] And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even compile) Reported-by: akiphie <akiphie@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-13ioat2: fix performance regressionDan Williams
Commit 0793448 "DMAENGINE: generic channel status v2" changed the interface for how dma channel progress is retrieved. It inadvertently exported an internal helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status(). The latter polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just evaluates the current state without touching hardware. The effect is that we end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before the completion state is updated. iperf (before fix): [SUM] 0.0-41.3 sec 364 MBytes 73.9 Mbits/sec iperf (after fix): [SUM] 0.0- 4.5 sec 499 MBytes 940 Mbits/sec This is a regression starting with 2.6.35.

2010-10-13net: allow FEC driver to use fixed PHY supportGreg Ungerer
At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached 4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing. So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY on the attached MII bus. After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup. Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus. This is based on the way the cpmac.c driver solved this same problem. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-10-12ARM: 6440/1: ep93xx: DMA: fix channel_disableMika Westerberg
When channel_disable() is called, it disables per channel interrupts and waits until channels state becomes STATE_STALL, and then disables the channel. Now, if the DMA transfer is disabled while the channel is in STATE_NEXT we will not wait anything and disable the channel immediately. This seems to cause weird data corruption for example in audio transfers. Fix is to wait while we are in STATE_NEXT or STATE_ON and only then disable the channel.

2010-10-12ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per pageSteven Rostedt
Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp. Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which is good for ~18 years. Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event. If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering, the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer. This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill more than a page without any data. When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page, a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace is also disabled with it). There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen 18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only 8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size cutting the amount in half. The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the warning: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # echo function > current_tracer # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter # echo > trace # echo 1 > trace_marker # sleep 120 # cat trace Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer, then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page, sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will trigger the bug. This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning. Reported-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Hans J.

2010-10-11fanotify: disable fanotify syscallsEric Paris
This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them to sys_ni_syscall(). It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software, as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers see the file. This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall. I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward. Three choices: Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next cycle). This is number 3.

He said: | The SRAT table shows that memory range is spread over two nodes. | | SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 100000000-800000000 | SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 800000000-1000000000 | SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 1000000000-1080000000 | |Previously, the kernel early_node_map[] would show three entries |with the proper node. | |[ 0.000000] 0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00800000 |[ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000 |[ 0.000000] 0: 0x01000000 -> 0x01080000 | |The problem is recent community kernel early_node_map[] shows |only two entries with the node 0 entry overlapping the node 1 |entry. | | 0: 0x00100000 -> 0x01080000 | 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000 After looking at the changelog, Found out that it has been broken for a while by following commit |commit 8716273caef7f55f39fe4fc6c69c5f9f197f41f1 |Author: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> |Date: Fri Sep 25 15:20:04 2009 -0700 | | x86: Export srat physical topology Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory entry right away. Use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[] in order to make sure we capture the actual memory blocks registered with each node. nodes[] contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated with a node, but that does not mean that all the memory in between are included.

2010-10-11net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actionsKees Cook
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions), the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace. Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

2010-10-11NET: wimax, fix use after freeJiri Slaby
Stanse found that i2400m_rx frees skb, but still uses skb->len even though it has skb_len defined. So use skb_len properly in the code. And also define it unsinged int rather than size_t to solve compilation warnings.

2010-10-11ATM: iphase, remove sleep-inside-atomicJiri Slaby
Stanse found that ia_init_one locks a spinlock and inside of that it calls ia_start which calls: * request_irq * tx_init which does kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) Both of them can thus sleep and result in a deadlock. I don't see a reason to have a per-device spinlock there which is used only there and inited right before the lock location. So remove it completely.

2010-10-11ATM: mpc, fix use after freeJiri Slaby
Stanse found that mpc_push frees skb and then it dereferences it. It is a typo, new_skb should be dereferenced there.
