existing socket skb accounting.  We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner.  However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.

In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket.  In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP.  So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit.  The accounting still

uml: fix irqstack crash

This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down.  When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.

However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down.  This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.

This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.

The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack.  Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set.  References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting

This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map().  Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.

Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.

Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy.  However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.

This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy.  Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup.  A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy.  We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.

Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy.  In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage().  The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

Fix user namespace exiting OOPs

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e.  MUCH later.

On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.

Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting.  The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.

For example simple program

   #include <sched.h>

   char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];

   int f(void *foo)
   {
    return 0;

    return 0;
   }

run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.

17 years agoext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both blocks
Eric Sandeen [Wed, 19 Sep 2007 05:46:42 +0000 (22:46 -0700)]
ext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both blocks

The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf
block to make room for a new entry.  It sorts the entries in the original
block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new
block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves.  (IOW,
it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*).  If by
chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest
entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created
enough space for it.

The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and
then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be
moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and
the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry.

The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size
does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and
if it grows too large it may be overwritten.  By making offs and size both
u16, we won't grow the map size.

Also add a few comments to the functions involved.

This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the
linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error"

17 years agomspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areas
Cliff Wickman [Wed, 19 Sep 2007 05:46:31 +0000 (22:46 -0700)]
mspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areas

The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory
special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic.

If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates
a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by
an munmap(2).  The current driver uses the current size of each vma to
deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc().
So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(),
and mspec attempts to free it with kfree().  This results in a panic.

This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and
also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the
munmap(2)'s.

All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that
represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's.  The mpec driver
must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each
member vma.  In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses
using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is
enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure.

The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case
so the reference count is left as atomic_t.

[SUNSAB]: Fix several bugs.

* don't register irq until ->startup() (and release in ->shutdown()).
That avoids oopsen with the current tree when interrupt comes before we'd
set up the data structures for ttyb.
* handle console=ttyS... even when OBP talks to screen/keyboard
* register irq handler for each port, let kernel/irq/handle.c
call it for both if needed.  Kills code duplication in sunsab_interrupt().
BTW, there'd been bitrot in it - ttya handling had stopped calling
check_status() on BRK (correctly), ttyb copy of that code had kept the
bogus call in that case.

ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED option

Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because
it would create a legacy we don't want to support.

CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is
now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to
the ACPI core.

Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different
strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the
need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games.  And it arrived
before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline
kernel, even, which is Good.

This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that
will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel
versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace
capabilities:

Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a
way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only
the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi
input devices.

It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use
both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event
interface, regardless of any module parameter.

The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with
userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input
devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface.  To use this
mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2
module parameter.

The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through
sysfs, as well.  thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not
support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace
to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs.  This capability
will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there.
