530576bbf3 jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit transaction
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction
when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the
data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of
journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers,
it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We
have seen the directo IO failed due to this race.  Some of the caller of
releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with
GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating
this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's
waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current
committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with
journal locked.

772cb7c83b ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.
This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping.  It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs.  Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.

This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward.  This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time.  Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.

ext4_find_next_zero_bit in such a way that they return
greater than max for some input values. Make sure
mb_find_next_bit and mb_find_next_zero_bit return the

On 2.6.25 we have include/asm-x86/bitops_32.h
static inline unsigned find_first_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned size)
{
	unsigned x = 0;

	while (x < size) {
		unsigned long val = *addr++;
		if (val)
			return __ffs(val) + x;
		x += (sizeof(*addr)<<3);
	}
	return x;
}

This can return value greater than size.

f3b35f063e ext4: validate directory entry data before use
ext4_dx_find_entry uses ext4_next_entry without verifying that the entry is
valid. If its rec_len == 0 this causes an infinite loop. Refactor the loop
to check the validity of entries before checking whether they match and
moving onto the next one.

There are other uses of ext4_next_entry in this file which also look
problematic. They should be reviewed and fixed if/when we have a test-case
that triggers them.

3e84050c81 cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage
Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:

Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,

  update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)

does the following:

/*
 * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
 * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
 * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
 * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
 */

The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.

With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:

cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()

Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.

__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).

try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

536abdb080 cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly
The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
(since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
to compile with this error:

error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function

The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
within it, and that expands into a function macro.  We need to use
__constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

e911d0cc87 cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
Try this:

    mount a share with unix extensions
    create a file on it
    umount the share

You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94f.

The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
formatting nit as well.

bca5c2c550 ov7670: clean up ov7670_read semantics
Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from
ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0.  This made me
realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills
in 'value' with the result, and returns it.  This is goes against general
kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function.

This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon
success. Thus, code like:

res = ov7670_read(...);
if (!res)
	goto error;

..will work properly.

05d81d2222 serial8250: sanity check nr_uarts on all paths.
I had 8250.nr_uarts=16 in the boot line of a test kernel and I had a weird
mysterious crash in sysfs.  After taking an in-depth look I realized that
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to 4 and I was walking off the end of
the serial8250_ports array.

Ouch!!!

Don't let this happen to someone else.

f31ad92f34 fbdev: bugfix for multiprocess defio
This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating
the same framebuffer.

Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.

It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page.  Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer.  The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang.  The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist.  The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding.  Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

4fc89e3911 drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_common.c fix small resource leak
Coverity CID: 1356 RESOURCE_LEAK

I found a very old patch for this that was Acked but did not get applied
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/kernel-janitors/2006-September/016362.html

There looks to be a small leak in isdn_writebuf_stub() in isdn_common.c, when
copy_from_user() returns an un-copied data length (length != 0).  The below
patch should be a minimally invasive fix.

43f77e91ea drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c fix resource leak
Coverity CID: 2172 RESOURCE_LEAK

When pool_allocate() tries to enlarge a packet, if it can not allocate enough
memory, it returns NULL without first freeing the old packet.

This patch just frees the packet first.

8df5fc042c [SCSI] bsg: fix oops on remove
If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device:  In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called.  In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

2789898817 [SCSI] fusion: default MSI to disabled for SPI and FC controllers
There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond
correctly to MSI.  The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be
onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so
default both these cases to disabled.  Enable by setting the module
parameter mpt_msi_enable=1.

For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by
setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.

This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog
to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually
processed. Without this patch, an "echo V >/dev/watchdog" enables the
watchdog if IPMI is providing the watchdog function.

0ce3a7e5bd [SCSI] ipr: Fix HDIO_GET_IDENTITY oops for SATA devices
Currently, ipr does not support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY to SATA devices.
An oops occurs if userspace attempts to send the command. Since hald
issues the command, ensure we fail the ioctl in ipr. This is a
temporary solution to the oops. Once the ipr libata EH conversion
is upstream, ipr will fully support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY.

49641f1acf Fix reference counting race on log buffers
When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout.  However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there.  If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.

But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog.  That leads to a filesystem hang.

Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.
