root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0.

Jeff's description of the way this happens is:

"automount starts an expire for directory d.  after the callout to the daemon,
but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory.
It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration.

When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up.  In
try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check:

                status = d_invalidate(dentry);
                if (status != -EBUSY)
                        return -EAGAIN;

And status is EBUSY.  The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the
flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY

So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

allocate a new dentry, D1.  The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.

The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.

Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
 In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.

The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.

After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters.  When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1!  So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!

So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry.  This
seems a sane approach to me."

And Jeff's patch does this.

The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges.  eg:

Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M.  Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.

Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling.  Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

Roman Zippel [Thu, 1 May 2008 11:34:25 +0000 (04:34 -0700)]
introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide

The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed
counterpart is missing, which is e.g.  needed when dealing with time values.

This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to
cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of
temporary variables for the dividend.  To avoid the need for temporary
variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a
version which doesn't return the remainder.

Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.

As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which
avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code.
It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known
(i.e.  upper quotient is zero).

Fix cpu hotplug problem in softirq code

currently cpu hotplug (unplug) seems broken on s390 and likely others. On cpu
unplug the system starts to behave very strange and hangs.

I bisected the problem to the following commit:

commit 48f20a9a9488c432fc86df1ff4b7f4fa895d1183
Author: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
Date: Tue Mar 4 15:23:25 2008 -0800
tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued

Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem.  I looked into takeover_tasklet
and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current
cpu.  If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the
current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and
not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct.

This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems
to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted.  Olof, can you look into that
patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate?
Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked
worse that this version.

Fix dnotify/close race

We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to
dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor
had been gone from current->files.

Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are
screwed - it will stick around indefinitely.  Even after struct file in
question is gone and freed.  Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at
any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary
process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page
that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

x86: Mark OPTIMIZE_INLINING broken

So Ingo finally did figure out why UML broke with this option: UML
passes gcc the -fno-unit-at-a-time flag, and apparently that wreaks
havoc with gcc's inlining.

We could turn off -fno-unit-at-a-time for UML for gcc4+ (which is what
x86 does), but there's bad blood about this whole option, and it does
show that the thing is just fragile as heck.

So let tempers cool, and disable the thing, and we can revisit the
decision later.

16 years agosysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfs
Ben Hutchings [Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:59:58 +0000 (15:59 +0100)]
sysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfs

sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the
expected effect on their inode.   For most attributes, this doesn't change the
"real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it.  However, the
parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based
on the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it
can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file:

# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Feb  1 17:35 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb  1 17:50 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128
dd: writing `config': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out

Also, after truncation to 0, parameter validation for read and write is
disabled.  Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and
offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access.  This may be a
security issue, though access to such files is often limited to root.  In any
case, the validation should remain for safety's sake!)

This was previously reported in Bugzilla as bug 9867.

sysfs should ignore size changes or else refuse them (by returning -EINVAL).
This patch makes it ignore them.
