9de6886ec6 ext2: fix unbalanced kmap()/kunmap()
In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot().  It is
then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir.
Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the
page remains pinned forever.  Repeat that a couple times with highmem
pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls
end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole
system comes to a halt.

ac89a9174d pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'
The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to
worry about, not the pty layer itself.  The total buffer space will
still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no
advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size
somehow.

And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in
this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be
written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes
as two single-byte writes.  And if the first byte written (CR) then
caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned
zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly
failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.

This should finally fix

37f81fa1f6 n_tty: do O_ONLCR translation as a single write
When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as
two tty_put_char() calls.  Which works, but is stupid, and has caused
problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.

Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic
tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce:
"pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic").

So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write
instead.  That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just
a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test,
which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering,
it won't cause weeks of debugging.

a2a8474c3f exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutex
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since

	"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
	04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d

commit in 2.6.31.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

dd5d241ea9 page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is disabled
On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation
cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile.  Once
disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked
MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call
to __rmqueue_fallback().

However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership
because the normal criteria are not met.  This has the effect of
prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks.  This is most
serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot.
This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when
anti-fragmentation is disabled.  This prevents the large blocks being
prematurely broken up.

This is a fix to commit 49255c619f [page
allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and
the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

a190887b58 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff()
Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff().  If do_mmap_shared_file() or
do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which
point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet
added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG
because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree.

To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree
before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep
nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a
transient region.

4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

fc383796a8 firewire: ohci: fix Agere FW643 and multiple cameras
An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one
camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras.  After a short
while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not
react anymore.  This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are
dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer.

This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4A7C0594.2020208%40gmail.com
(Reported by Samuel Audet.)

In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two
cameras in dual buffer mode.  Whether this is due to different chip
revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not
yet clear.  However, as far as the current capabilities of
firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply
switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not
a problem in practice.  We only need to revisit this issue if we are
going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly
choose modes.

85bac32c4a ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed
Since the ability to swap the cpu buffers adds a small overhead to
the recording of a trace, we only want to add it when needed.

not recommended for production kernels. This patch disables its use
when neither irqsoff nor preemptoff is configured.

62f0b3eb5c ring-buffer: check for swapped buffers in start of committing

that a swap happens between the start of the write and before the committing

e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed

2f26ebd549 tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces
Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.

The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.

Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.

Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

ae0b7448e9 dm snapshot: fix on disk chunk size validation
Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.

For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used.  For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.

If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded.  This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.

Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

61578dcd3f dm snapshot: fix header corruption race on invalidation
If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting).  This patch fixes the race.

When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.

Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.

The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).

The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.

Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)

The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.

The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

d2b698644c dm raid1: do not allow log_failure variable to unset after being set
This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg
could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync.

The case involves the failure of the primary device along with
the transient failure of the log device.  The problem is that
bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure)
before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure.
Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient,
a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will
reset 'log_failure'.  The 'do_failures' function then resets
the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list.
The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the
primary device can be switched in the event of a failure.  Since
this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed
to be not switchable.

The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one
machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines.
As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to
another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure),
the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine -
thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable.

In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure'
variable.  The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually
hurt us.

b8313b6da7 dm log: remove incorrect field from userspace table output
The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not
be there.  This patch removes it.  To make the fix simpler, we first
reorder a constructor argument

The 'device size' argument is generated internally.  Currently it is
placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string.
However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we
move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it.

We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log,
just in case we need to resend them.  These are the same arguments that
are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one.  When
creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of
the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor
table.  We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a
mistake.

f6a1ed1086 dm table: fix queue_limit checking device iterator
The logic to check for valid device areas is inverted relative to proper
use with iterate_devices.

The iterate_devices method calls its callback for every underlying
device in the target.  If any callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices
exits immediately.  But the callback device_area_is_valid() returns 0 on
error and 1 on success.  The overall effect without is that an error is
issued only if every device is invalid.

This patch renames device_area_is_valid to device_area_is_invalid and
inverts the logic so that one invalid device is sufficient to raise
an error.

Implement the .iterate_devices for the origin and snapshot targets.
dm-snapshot's lack of .iterate_devices resulted in the inability to
properly establish queue_limits for both targets.

With 4K sector drives: an unfortunate side-effect of not establishing
proper limits in either targets' DM device was that IO to the devices
would fail even though both had been created without error.

for dm-snap.c's origin and snapshot targets.

a77e28c7e1 dm multipath: fix oops when request based io fails when no paths
The patch posted at http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=124539787228784&w=2
which was merged into cec47e3d4a ("dm:
prepare for request based option") introduced a regression in
request-based dm.

If map_request() calls dm_kill_unmapped_request() to complete a cloned
bio without dispatching it, clone->bio is still set when
dm_end_request() is called and the BUG_ON(clone->bio) is incorrect.

The patch fixes this bug by freeing bio in dm_end_request() if the clone
has bio.  I've redone my tests to cover all I/O paths and confirmed
there's no other regression.

Here is the oops I hit in request-based dm when I do I/O to a multipath
device which doesn't have any active path nor queue_if_no_path setting:

76f0d07376 tracing: remove users of tracing_reset
The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.

The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.

The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.

This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

077c5407cd ring-buffer: disable all cpu buffers when one finds a problem
Currently the way RB_WARN_ON works, is to disable either the current
CPU buffer or all CPU buffers, depending on whether a ring_buffer or
ring_buffer_per_cpu struct was passed into the macro.

Most users of the RB_WARN_ON pass in the CPU buffer, so only the one
CPU buffer gets disabled but the rest are still active. This may
confuse users even though a warning is sent to the console.

This patch changes the macro to disable the entire buffer even if
the CPU buffer is passed in.

a1863c212b ring-buffer: do not count discarded events
The latency tracers report the number of items in the trace buffer.
This uses the ring buffer data to calculate this. Because discarded
events are also counted, the numbers do not match the number of items
that are printed. The ring buffer also adds a "padding" item to the
end of each buffer page which also gets counted as a discarded item.

This patch decrements the counter to the page entries on a discard.
This allows us to ignore discarded entries while reading the buffer.

Decrementing the counter is still safe since it can only happen while
the committing flag is still set.

no safety nets and is very race prone.

An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed

7e9391cfed ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages
When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.

The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.

The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.

The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.
