In some situations PAV alias devices on LPAR are not accessible.
The initialization procedure required to enable access to PAV alias
devices has to be performed per storage server subsystem and not
only once per storage server.

There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes
it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes
joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in
a non working joystick (for the average user).
In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input
aliases:
static void do_input(char *alias,
kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max)
{
unsigned int i;
for (i = min; i < max; i++)
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);
}
On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*"
for the second etc.
However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20
+ first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first
entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64.
scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
That should be:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a
64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number
by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits
too low.
The patch below makes the nescesarry 1 char change :)

The problem is that lease_alloc() performs an unnecessary initialisation,
which sets the lease_manager_ops. Avoid the problem by allocating the

We found this issue last week w/ the -RT kernel, but it seems the same
issue is in mainline as well.
Basically it is possible for futex_unlock_pi to return without actually
freeing the lock. This is due to buggy logic in the use of
futex_handle_fault() and its attempt argument in a failure case.
Looking at futex.c the logic is as follows:
1) In futex_unlock_pi() we start w/ ret=0 and we go down to the first
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), where we find uval==-EFAULT. We then
jump to the pi_faulted label.
2) From pi_faulted: We increment attempt, unlock the sem and hit the
retry label.
3) From the retry label, with ret still zero, we again hit EFAULT on the
first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), and again goto the pi_faulted
label.
4) Again from pi_faulted: we increment attempt and enter the
conditional, where we call futex_handle_fault.
5) futex_handle_fault fails, and we goto the out_unlock_release_sem
label.
6) From out_unlock_release_sem we return, and since ret is still zero,
we return without error, while never actually unlocking the lock.
Issue #1: at the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() we should probably
be setting ret=-EFAULT before jumping to pi_faulted: However in our case
this doesn't really affect anything, as the glibc we're using ignores the
error value from futex_unlock_pi().
Issue #2: Look at futex_handle_fault(), its first conditional will return
-EFAULT if attempt is >= 2. However, from the "if(attempt++)
futex_handle_fault(attempt)" logic above, we'll *never* call
futex_handle_fault when attempt is less then two. So we never get a chance
to even try to fault the page in.
The following patch addresses these two issues by 1) Always setting ret to
-EFAULT if futex_handle_fault fails, and 2) Removing the = in
futex_handle_fault's (attempt >= 2) check.
I'm really not sure this is the right fix, but wanted to bring it up so
folks knew the issue is alive and well in the current -git tree. From
looking at the git logs the logic was first introduced (then later copied
to other places) in the following commit almost a year ago:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721;hp=5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385cc94be45d0823

The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged
packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet
(since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system).
This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be
trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions
instead.
This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6
datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim
calls with it.

Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null
ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on
one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the
queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits,
there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls
ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because
it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU.
Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.

Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on
all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The
llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast
destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast
packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast,
and we do need to know on which interface they were received.

If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the
bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the
dsts that it references to be validated on every
use.
I misunderstood this intention when I changed
xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL.
Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free()
on it. This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive
integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so
that the socket does a relookup for the route.
Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate
the state, else always return NULL.
In general, we need to do things more intelligently
here because we flush too much state during rule
changes. Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key
manager gives us some help in this area. We can also
use smarter state management algorithms inside of
the kernel as well.

We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix
involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the
space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating
it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not
correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised
structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would
or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL.
This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches
of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are
irrelevent for the space-freeing case.
