2007-10-09locks: add warning about mandatory locking racesJ. Bruce Fields
The mandatory file locking implementation has long-standing races that probably render it useless. I know of no plans to fix them. Till we do, we should at least warn people. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-10-09Documentation: move mandatory locking documentation to filesystems/J. Bruce Fields
Shouldn't this mandatory-locking documentation be in the Documentation/filesystems directory? Give it a more descriptive name while we're at it, and update 00-INDEX with a more inclusive description of Documentation/filesystems (which has already talked about more than just individual filesystems).

2007-10-09locks: Fix potential OOPS in generic_setlease()Pavel Emelyanov
This code is run under lock_kernel(), which is dropped during sleeping operations, so the following race is possible: CPU1: CPU2: vfs_setlease(); vfs_setlease(); lock_kernel(); lock_kernel(); /* spin */ generic_setlease(): ... for (before = ...) /* here we found some lease after * which we will insert the new one */ fl = locks_alloc_lock(); /* go to sleep in this allocation and * drop the BKL */ generic_setlease(): ... for (before = ...) /* here we find the "before" pointing * at the one we found on CPU1 */ ->fl_change(my_before, arg); lease_modify(); locks_free_lock(); /* and we freed it */ ... unlock_kernel(); locks_insert_lock(before, fl); /* OOPS! We have just tried to add the lease * at the tail of already removed one */ The similar races are already handled in other code - all the allocations are performed before any checks/updates.

2007-10-09Memory shortage can result in inconsistent flocks statePavel Emelyanov
When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock can be removed without appropriate warning. Look: for_each_lock(inode, before) { struct file_lock *fl = *before; if (IS_POSIX(fl)) break; if (IS_LEASE(fl)) continue; if (filp != fl->fl_file) continue; if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type) goto out; found = 1; locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< ! break; } if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock is already removed. This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic, but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked. The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance to fail in the future code. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware.

2007-10-09locks: kill redundant local variableJ. Bruce Fields
There's no need for another variable local to this loop; we can use the variable (of the same name!) already declared at the top of the function, and not used till later (at which point it's initialized, so this is safe). Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-10-09locks: reverse order of posix_locks_conflict() argumentsJ. Bruce Fields
The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request, and the second a lock from an inode's lock request. It doesn't really make a difference which order you call them in, since the only asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for some reason. But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict() with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-10-08[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast addressBrian Haley
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now.

2007-10-07[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKedIlpo Järvinen
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

2007-10-07fix bogus reporting of signals by auditAl Viro
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

2007-10-07Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervalsLinus Torvalds
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide. So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.

The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly terminated.

Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

2007-10-06xen: disable split pte locks for nowJeremy Fitzhardinge
When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state. When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped more than about 512M of memory. However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork. This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

2007-10-05Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()Serge Belyshev
It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and note #84). prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument. Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x" argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was inlined. Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint. [ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to __builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now. -- AK ] Signed-off-by: Serge Belyshev <belyshev@depni.sinp.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
