2011-02-15ath9k: Fix ath9k prevents CPU to enter C3 statesMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
The DMA latency issue is observed only in Intel pinetrail platforms but in the driver we had a default PM-QOS value of 55. This caused unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms. Remove the pm-qos thing in the driver code and address the throughput issue in Intel pinetrail platfroms in user space using any one of the scripts in below links: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/scripts/cpudmalatency.c http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/netlatency.c.txt More details can be found in the following bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532 This reverts the following commits: 98c316e348bedffa730e6f1e4baeb8a3c3e0f28b 4dc3530df7c0428b41c00399a7ee8c929406d181 10598c124ecabbbfd7522f74de19b8f7d52a1bee Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it is not a good idea to show the registers of a process.

2011-02-15pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space readChris Wright
This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted as f00eaeea. The original change was broken and caused X startup failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading device dependent config space. The normal capable() interface returns true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success. This thinko is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly. So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing. Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's capabilities for config space reads.

I see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently doesn't have any IOAPICs. But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

2011-02-14arp_notify: unconditionally send gratuitous ARP for NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS.Ian Campbell
NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link notifications as a sort of side effect. In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit request from a driver. This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on. This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

2011-02-14cxgb4vf: Quiesce Virtual Interfaces on shutdown ...Casey Leedom
When a Virtual Machine is rebooted, KVM currently fails to issue a Function Level Reset against any "Attached PCI Devices" (AKA "PCI Passthrough"). In addition to leaving the attached device in a random state in the next booted kernel (which sort of violates the entire idea of a reboot reseting hardware state), this leaves our peer thinking that the link is still up. (Note that a bug has been filed with the KVM folks, #25332, but there's been no response on that as of yet.) So, we add a "->shutdown()" method for the Virtual Function PCI Device to handle administrative shutdowns like a reboot. Signed-off-by: Casey Leedom <leedom@chelsio.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-02-14pch_gbe: Fix the MAC Address load issue.Toshiharu Okada
With the specification of hardware, the processing at the time of driver starting was modified. This device write automatically the MAC address read from serial ROM into a MAC Adress1A/1B register at the time of power on reset. However, when stable clock is not supplied, the writing of MAC Adress1A/1B register may not be completed. In this case, it is necessary to load MAC address to MAC Address1A/1B register by the MAC Address1 load register.

2011-02-14btrfs: prevent heap corruption in btrfs_ioctl_space_info()Dan Rosenberg
Commit bf5fc093c5b625e4259203f1cee7ca73488a5620 refactored btrfs_ioctl_space_info() and introduced several security issues. space_args.space_slots is an unsigned 64-bit type controlled by a possibly unprivileged caller. The comparison as a signed int type allows providing values that are treated as negative and cause the subsequent allocation size calculation to wrap, or be truncated to 0. By providing a size that's truncated to 0, kmalloc() will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. It's also possible to provide a value smaller than the slot count. The subsequent loop ignores the allocation size when copying data in, resulting in a heap overflow or write to ZERO_SIZE_PTR. The fix changes the slot count type and comparison typecast to u64, which prevents truncation or signedness errors, and also ensures that we don't copy more data than we've allocated in the subsequent loop. Note that zero-size allocations are no longer possible since there is already an explicit check for space_args.space_slots being 0 and truncation of this value is no longer an issue.

2011-02-14Btrfs: don't release pages when we can't clear the uptodate bitsChris Mason
Btrfs tracks uptodate state in an rbtree as well as in the page bits. This is supposed to enable us to use block sizes other than the page size, but there are a few parts still missing before that completely works. But, our readpage routine trusts this additional range based tracking of uptodateness, much in the same way the buffer head up to date bits are trusted for the other filesystems. The problem is that sometimes we need to allocate memory in order to split records in the rbtree, even when we are just clearing bits. This can be difficult when our clearing function is called GFP_ATOMIC, which can happen in the releasepage path. So, what happens today looks like this: releasepage called with GFP_ATOMIC btrfs_releasepage calls clear_extent_bit clear_extent_bit fails to allocate ram, leaving the up to date bit set btrfs_releasepage returns success The end result is the page being gone, but btrfs thinking the range is up to date. Later on if someone tries to read that same page, the btrfs readpage code will return immediately thinking the page is already up to date. This commit fixes things to fail the releasepage when we can't clear the extent state bits. It covers both data pages and metadata tree blocks. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-02-14Btrfs: fix page->private racesChris Mason
There is a race where btrfs_releasepage can drop the page->private contents just as alloc_extent_buffer is setting up pages for metadata. Because of how the Btrfs page flags work, this results in us skipping the crc on the page during IO. This patch sovles the race by waiting until after the extent buffer is inserted into the radix tree before it sets page private. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2011-02-14nfsd4: acquire only one lease per fileJ. Bruce Fields
Instead of acquiring one lease each time another client opens a file, nfsd can acquire just one lease to represent all of them, and reference count it to determine when to release it. This fixes a regression introduced by c45821d263a8a5109d69a9e8942b8d65bcd5f31a "locks: eliminate fl_mylease callback": after that patch, only the struct file * is used to determine who owns a given lease. But since we recently converted the server to share a single struct file per open, if we acquire multiple leases on the same file from nfsd, it then becomes impossible on unlocking a lease to determine which of those leases (all of whom share the same struct file *) we meant to remove.
