2010-11-10xfs: remove incorrect assert in xfs_vm_writepageChristoph Hellwig
In commit 20cb52ebd1b5ca6fa8a5d9b6b1392292f5ca8a45, titled "xfs: simplify xfs_vm_writepage" I added an assert that any !mapped and uptodate buffers are not dirty. That asserts turns out to trigger a lot when running fsx on filesystems with small block sizes. The reason for that is that the assert is simply incorrect. !mapped and uptodate just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition to match reality. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2010-11-10filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memoryDavid S. Miller
There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by hostile user. Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is expensive since most filters dont even use this array. Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of the jumps. This might be done later. In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks. For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction.

2010-11-10xfs: use hlist_add_fakeChristoph Hellwig
XFS does not need it's inodes to actuall be hashed in the VFS inode cache, but we require the inode to be marked hashed for the writeback code to work. Insted of using insert_inode_hash, which requires a second inode_lock roundtrip after the partial merge of the inode scalability patches in 2.6.37-rc simply use the new hlist_add_fake helper to mark it hashed without requiring a lock or touching a global cache line.

2010-11-10xfs: move delayed write buffer traceDave Chinner
The delayed write buffer split trace currently issues a trace for every buffer it scans. These buffers are not necessarily queued for delayed write. Indeed, when buffers are pinned, there can be thousands of traces of buffers that aren't actually queued for delayed write and the ones that are are lost in the noise. Move the trace point to record only buffers that are split out for IO to be issued on.

2010-11-10perf trace: live-mode command-line cleanupTom Zanussi
This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands. The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell scripts. With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected: $ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be available by explicitly specifying -a: $ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide: $ perf trace rw-by-pid Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked, it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps. For example: $ perf trace syscall-counts ls Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>. In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>. If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly: $ perf trace record syscall-counts $ perf trace report syscall-counts ls So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most intuitive sense for live-mode commands: - for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step - for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be used - all extra args are send to the report script as params - for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be the first n args after the script name and sent to the report script, and the rest are sent to the record step Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>
2010-11-10perf trace record: handle commands correctlyTom Zanussi
Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always system wide, even if it was given a command. If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for the command, as users expect. If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded events are system-wide, as before. root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace ls-23152 [000] 39984.890387: sys_enter: NR 12 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23152 [000] 39984.890404: sys_enter: NR 9 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts -a ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace npviewer.bin-22297 [000] 39831.102709: sys_enter: NR 168 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23111 [000] 39831.107679: sys_enter: NR 59 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>

2010-11-10perf, ui: Eliminate stack-smashing protection compiler complaintCyrill Gorcunov
The gcc complains about small auto-var strings being allocated from stack space. Make them const to avoid this: | CC util/ui/util.o | cc1: warnings being treated as errors | util/ui/util.c: In function ‘ui__dialog_yesno’: | util/ui/util.c:108: error: not protecting function: no buffer at least 8 bytes long | make: *** [util/ui/util.o] Error 1 The real bug is in the newtWinChoice() ABI - but that's an externality we cannot fix here, so we use this workaround.

If ttm_bo_init() returns failure, it already destroyed the BO, so we need to retry from scratch. Signed-off-by: Michel Dänzer <daenzer@vmware.com> Tested-by: Markus Trippelsdorf <markus@trippelsdorf.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

2010-11-09Staging: ath6kl: Fix pointer casts on 64-bit architecturesBen Hutchings
Remove unnecessary cast of firmware base address to integer before adding an offset. Fix direct use of sk_buff::network_header which is an offset rather than a pointer on 64-bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-11-09Staging: batman-adv: suppress false warning when changing the mac addressMarek Lindner
Whenever the mac address of an batman interface is changed check_known_mac_addr() is called to print a warning if the newly added mac address exists an another batman interface. While looping through the batman interface list check_known_mac_addr() only compares mac addresses and does not make sure they belong to different interfaces, thus always printing a warning.

A kernel BUG when bluetooth rfcomm connection drop while the associated serial port is open is sometime triggered. It seems that the line discipline can disappear between the tty_ldisc_put and tty_ldisc_get. This patch fall back to the N_TTY line discipline if the previous discipline is not available anymore.
