PCI: Enable PCIe AER only after checking firmware support

The PCIe port driver currently sets the PCIe AER error reporting bits for
any root or switch port without first checking to see if firmware will grant
control. This patch moves setting these bits to the AER service driver
aer_enable_port routine.  The bits are then set for the root port and any
downstream switch ports after the check for firmware support (aer_osc_setup)
is made. The patch also unsets the bits in a similar fashion when the AER
service driver is unloaded.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking

nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds

Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely.  To reproduce:

# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048

client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.

This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:

2.6.25.

The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request.  This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to

mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap

Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option

mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around.  According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:

commit 70688e4dd1647f0ceb502bbd5964fa344c5eb411

Date:   Mon Apr 28 02:13:02 2008 -0700

    xip: support non-struct page backed memory

In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x.  During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork).  Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.

Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces.  The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.

This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated.  This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter

It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.

That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped.  It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.

Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page.  After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.

COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case.  This patch
resolves it.

the function has queued a transaction commit.  But it returns 0 if we
raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well.  This
resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from
Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long
symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super.
Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT
flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device,
causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block
data to userspace.

This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:

        #!/bin/bash

        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        rm -f /mnt/test2/*
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
        touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        /mnt/test2/link
        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        ls /mnt/test2/

This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's
a transaction committing or queued for commit.

iwlwifi: fix suspend/resume and its usage of pci saved state

Here we do two things:

First, revert "iwlwifi: save PCI state before suspend, restore after
resume".  That misguided patch led to being unable to use iwlwifi
devices after resume.

Next, indicate to PCI driver that the saved PCI state is valid during suspend.

We restore PCI state and enable the device when network interface is created,
similarly PCI state is saved and the device is disabled when network interface
is removed. Thus, when .suspend is called the PCI state is saved and device
is disabled. This is the case even if an interface is never created as PCI
state is saved and device disabled during .probe.

PCI driver assumes PCI state is saved in .suspend. Saving the state at this
time will save state of disabled device and thus cause problems during
resume (resuming a disabled device). We thus indicate directly to PCI
driver that current PCI saved state is valid.

sunhme: Fix Quattro HME irq registration on proble failures

Currently, the sunhme driver installs SBus Quattro interrupt handler
when at least one HME card was initialized correctly and at least one
Quattro card is present. This breaks when a Quattro card fails
initialization for whatever reason - IRQ is registered and OOPS happens
when it fires.

The solution, as suggested by David Miller, was to keep track which
cards of the Quattro bundles have been initialized, and request/free the
Quattro IRQ only when all four devices have been successfully
initialized.

The patch only touches SBus initialization - PCI init already resets the
card pointer to NULL on init failure.

The patch has been tested on Sun E3500 with SBus and PCI single HME
cards and one PCI Quattro HME card in a situation where any PCI card
failed init when the SBus routines tried to init them by mistake.

Additionally it replaces Quattro request_irq panic with error return -
if this card fails to work, at least let the others work.

Tested on E450 with PCI HME and PCI Quad HME.

15 years agoDo not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT

Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT

When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.

With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.
