xtime_lock vs update_process_times
Commit d3d74453c34f8fd87674a8cf5b8a327c68f22e99 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.
I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.
The deadlock in question was found by Russell:
IRQ handle
-> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
-> update_process_times()
-> run_local_timers()
-> hrtimer_run_queues()
-> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock
Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem.
Some background:
numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.
A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.
NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.
mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.
In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.
Proposed fix:
1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees
that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.
NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be
silently ignored, rather than returning an error.
c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
and remove contextualize_policy().
2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty"
b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask
contains at least one node.
c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty
and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
Return EINVAL.
c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes
3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
policy from mpol_new().
4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this
restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.
[ Patch history:
v1 -> v2:
- Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
- As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h
v2 -> v3:
- As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy(). Looks a little
cleaner. ]

Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()
So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

back into the nlm_blocked list.
This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing
that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked.

NLM: don't reattempt GRANT_MSG when there is already an RPC in flight
With the current scheme in nlmsvc_grant_blocked, we can end up with more
than one GRANT_MSG callback for a block in flight. Right now, we requeue
the block unconditionally so that a GRANT_MSG callback is done again in
30s. If the client is unresponsive, it can take more than 30s for the
call already in flight to time out.
There's no benefit to having more than one GRANT_MSG RPC queued up at a
time, so put it on the list with a timeout of NLM_NEVER before doing the
RPC call. If the RPC call submission fails, we requeue it with a short
timeout. If it works, then nlmsvc_grant_callback will end up requeueing
it with a shorter timeout after it completes.

NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks
Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing
an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block
for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're
calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in
the RPC queue.
Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks.

NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clients
It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely
lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this:
1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file
2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and
awaits the callback
3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc)
4) client1 releases the lock
...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG
callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of
30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and
will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is
unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times
out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats.
Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until
the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls.
Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes
nlm_async_call return quickly when called.

Change pci_raw_ops to pci_raw_read/write
We want to allow different implementations of pci_raw_ops for standard

PCI x86: always use conf1 to access config space below 256 bytes
Thanks to Loic Prylli <loic@myri.com>, who originally proposed
this idea.
Always using legacy configuration mechanism for the legacy config space
and extended mechanism (mmconf) for the extended config space is
a simple and very logical approach. It's supposed to resolve all
known mmconf problems. It still allows per-device quirks (tweaking
dev->cfg_size). It also allows to get rid of mmconf fallback code.

hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.
hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.
