driver core: fix small mem leak in driver_add_kobj()

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj().  The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :

int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
                    const char *fmt, ...)
{
        va_list args;
        char *name;
        int ret;

        va_start(args, fmt);
        name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
        ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...

        va_end(args);

        if (!name)
                return -ENOMEM;

        return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}

Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used.  As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.

This should fix it.

3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef ("dm crypt: use async crypto").

If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not process them
in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared.  So there can be
parallel crypto operations on one part of the write, but only one write bio
can be processed at a time.

This is not optimal and the workqueue code needs to be optimized for parallel
processing, but for now it solves the problem without affecting the
performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current dm-crypt users).

fixes kernel bug #10245:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10245

The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the
SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should
not attach a native driver to it.  This means that this quirk is unsafe and
has to be removed.

I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this
SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in
particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.

- Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller,
  This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero
  *fadata pointer at the same time.
- Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case.
- Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers.
  This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin
  was called previously.

Because of a typo in iwch_accept_cr(), the cxgb3 connection handling
code programs the hardware IRD (incoming RDMA read queue depth) with
the value that is passed in for the ORD (outgoing RDMA read queue

hardware will end up programmed with IRD = 0 and the app will fail in

16 years ago[POWERPC] Fix missed hardware breakpoints across multiple threads
Michael Ellerman [Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:11:48 +0000 (19:11 +1100)]
[POWERPC] Fix missed hardware breakpoints across multiple threads

There is a bug in the powerpc DABR (data access breakpoint) handling,
which can result in us missing breakpoints if several threads are trying
to break on the same address.

The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears
the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to
userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR
value on the way out to userspace.

If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the
cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match
we don't set the DABR in hardware.

So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to
the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR,
the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware.

The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we
can't forget to do it.

xen: fix RMW when unmasking events

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.

The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary.  The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.

This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

[IPSEC]: Fix BEET output

The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

x86: fix performance drop for glx

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

SVCRDMA: Check num_sge when setting LAST_CTXT bit

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly
when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This
resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to
build the RPC iovec page list.

RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for
NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the
advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and
associated page list.

WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are
handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may
require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC
are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list
is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes,
the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing.

The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two
contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple
pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build
the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last
context doesn't contain the iovec page list.

Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects
the last context for the RPC.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080

  I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being
  discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal
  change I totally agree that it should be reverted."

  The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by
  insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that
  was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in
  the transparent bridge sizing calculations.

  A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation"
  change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the
  expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which
  actually resolves the original issue in a different manner.  So, even
  if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it
  is no longer needed anyway."

count_partial() is not used if !SLUB_DEBUG and !CONFIG_SLABINFO

Avoid warnings about unused functions if neither SLUB_DEBUG nor CONFIG_SLABINFO
is defined. This patch will be reversed when slab defrag is merged since slab
defrag requires count_partial() to determine the fragmentation status of
slab caches.

of error itself, so the first goto fix is redundant.
