2008-12-10revert "percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()"Andrew Morton
Revert commit 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

2008-12-09netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entryNeil Horman
A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service path, and the fast path through net_rx_action: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470 A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case. Consider the following scenario: INITIAL STATE CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list CPU0 CPU1 net_rx_action poll_napi !list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A poll_one_napi napi->poll netif_rx_complete __napi_complete (removes A from poll_list) list_entry(list->next) In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage is. Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next iteration of net_rx_action. I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from the poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given that the alternative is a crash. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-12-09tracehook: exec double-reporting fixRoland McGrath
The patch 6341c39 "tracehook: exec" introduced a small regression in 2.6.27 regarding binfmt_misc exec event reporting. Since the reporting is now done in the common search_binary_handler() function, an exec of a misc binary will result in two (or possibly multiple) exec events being reported, instead of just a single one, because the misc handler contains a recursive call to search_binary_handler. To add to the confusion, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is not active, the multiple SIGTRAP signals will in fact cause only a single ptrace intercept, as the signals are not queued. However, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is on, the debugger will actually see multiple ptrace intercepts (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC). The test program included below demonstrates the problem. This change fixes the bug by calling tracehook_report_exec() only in the outermost search_binary_handler() call (bprm->recursion_depth == 0). The additional change to restore bprm->recursion_depth after each binfmt load_binary call is actually superfluous for this bug, since we test the value saved on entry to search_binary_handler(). But it keeps the use of of the depth count to its most obvious expected meaning. Depending on what binfmt handlers do in certain cases, there could have been false-positive tests for recursion limits before this change. /* Test program using PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC. This forks and exec's the first argument with the rest of the arguments, while ptrace'ing.

2008-12-09ieee1394: node manager causes up to ~3.25s delay in freezing tasksNigel Cunningham
The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite, but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing processes prior to starting to read the image. The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero. I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration. Signed-off-by: Nigel Cunningham <nigel@tuxonice.net> The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux 2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable. try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during the freeze and handle it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Impact: fix possible deadlock in CPU hot-remove path This patch fixes a possible deadlock scenario in the CPU remove path. migration_call grabs rq->lock, then wakes up everything on rq->migration_queue with the lock held. Then one of the tasks on the migration queue ends up calling tg_shares_up which then also tries to acquire the same rq->lock.

2008-12-09[IA64] Updated the generic_defconfig to work with the 2.6.28-rc7 kernel.Robin Holt
The AUTOFS=y and AUTOFS4=y causes problems with some distros versions of automount. I turned both of those to =m and then followed the default prompts for everything else. I did notice that CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG got changed to CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG_MESSAGES and the default was a =y so I turned that back to a =n.
