libertas: fix misuse of netdev_priv() and dev->ml_priv

The mesh and radiotap interfaces need to use the same private data as
the main wifi interface.  If the main wifi interface uses netdev_priv(),
but the other interfaces ->ml_priv, there's no way to figure out where
the private data actually is in the WEXT handlers and netdevice
callbacks.  So make everything use ->ml_priv.

Fixes botched netdev_priv() conversion introduced by "netdevice
libertas: Fix directly reference of netdev->priv", though admittedly
libertas' use of ->priv was somewhat "special".

Josef Drexler [Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:53:12 +0000 (14:53 +0100)]
netfilter: xt_recent: fix proc-file addition/removal of IPv4 addresses

Fix regression introduded by commit 079aa88 (netfilter: xt_recent: IPv6 support):

From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12753:

Problem Description:
An uninitialized buffer causes IPv4 addresses added manually (via the +IP
command to the proc interface) to never match any packets. Similarly, the -IP
command fails to remove IPv4 addresses.

Details:
In the function recent_entry_lookup, the xt_recent module does comparisons of
the entire nf_inet_addr union value, both for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For
addresses initialized from actual packets the remaining 12 bytes not occupied
by the IPv4 are zeroed so this works correctly. However when setting the
nf_inet_addr addr variable in the recent_mt_proc_write function, only the IPv4
bytes are initialized and the remaining 12 bytes contain garbage.

Hence addresses added in this way never match any packets, unless these
uninitialized 12 bytes happened to be zero by coincidence. Similarly, addresses
cannot consistently be removed using the proc interface due to mismatch of the
garbage bytes (although it will sometimes work to remove an address that was
added manually).

Reading the /proc/net/xt_recent/ entries hides this problem because this only
uses the first 4 bytes when displaying IPv4 addresses.

Steps to reproduce:
$ iptables -I INPUT -m recent --rcheck -j LOG
$ echo +169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910

[At this point no packets from 169.254.156.239 are being logged.]

$ iptables -I INPUT -s 169.254.156.239 -m recent --set
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126184 oldest_pkt: 4 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184

[At this point, adding the address via an iptables rule, packets are being
logged correctly.]

$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992
$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT

[Removing the address via /proc interface failed evidently.]

Possible solutions:
- initialize the addr variable in recent_mt_proc_write
- compare only 4 bytes for IPv4 addresses in recent_entry_lookup

PM/hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed.  But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!

swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.

Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it.  So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode.  This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour.  The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().

Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation

extensions).  Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the
performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic
(17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip
for the SetPathInfo on every file create.

It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of
write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file

Mauro Carvalho Chehab [Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:38:52 +0000 (15:38 -0800)]
8250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan port

Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan.

This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by
kernel as a normal 8250 port.  However, this emulation is not perfect, as
also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f.

Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is
capable of work using IRQ's.

This were done with a code similar this:

        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI);
        lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR);
        iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR);
        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0);

        if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT)
up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN;

This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the
chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register.

Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled.  However, as TX IRQ keeps
working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the
IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the
serial console.

This is the 6 version of this patch.  Previous versions were trying to
introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up,
UART_IIR), but not taking forever.  However, the needed delay couldn't be
safely determined.

At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but
still hangs sometimes.  Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still
doesn't solve.  A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time.

However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't
seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk.

So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just
disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying
memory before releasing it to the slab allocator.

Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object
before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure
security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use.

These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes

wimax/i2400m: driver loads firmware v1.4 instead of v1.3

This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4
of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the
firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the
linux-firmware tree and it is already available at
http://linuxwimax.org/Download.

The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space
software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to
use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and
Clearwire.

As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.

The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely
deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware
and the 1.4 user space components.

We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration.

Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a
driver that doesn't have this modification by:

$ cd /lib/firmware
$ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf

15 years agox86: use the right protections for split-up pagetables

x86: use the right protections for split-up pagetables

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().

The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.

The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.

With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.

Also update the comment.

This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.

[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
  the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
  realized back then. ]
