Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 6 Nov 2006 07:52:12 +0000 (23:52 -0800)]
[PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.

The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur.  The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.

By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface.  Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.

I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry.  So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.

I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

[TG3]: Fix 2nd ifup failure on 5752M.

This fixes a bug reported in:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7438

tg3_close() turns off the PHY if WoL and ASF are both disabled.  On
the next tg3_open(), some devices such as the 5752M will not be
brought up correctly without a PHY reset early in the reset sequence.
The PHY clock is needed for some internal MAC blocks to function
correctly.

This problem is fixed by always resetting the PHY early in
tg3_reset_hw() when it is called from tg3_open() or tg3_resume().
tg3_setup_phy() can then be called later in the sequence without the
reset_phy parameter set to 1, since the PHY reset is already done.

unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.

It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using.  No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.

Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.

This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

Jeff Dike [Fri, 3 Nov 2006 06:07:22 +0000 (22:07 -0800)]
[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.

The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source.  When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section.  The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.

The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;

In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.

What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.

When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish.  Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.

The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask.  An xchg would also probably
work.

Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:

- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
  in registers

- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
  that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
  caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

        mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex);
        status = vfs_rmdir(dir->d_inode, dentry);

int vfs_rmdir(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry)

USB: use MII hooks only if CONFIG_MII is enabled

Fix mcs7830 patch

The recent mcs7830 update to make the MII support sharable goofed various
pre-existing configurations in two ways:

  - it made the usbnet infrastructure reference MII symbols even
    when they're not needed in the kernel being built

  - it didn't enable MII along with the mcs7830 minidriver

However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII
gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think
I've noticed that same problem in other situations too.  So the result can
mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better
than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.

PCI: Let PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE depend on BROKEN

PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE is an interesting feature, but in its current state
it seems to be more of a trap for users who accidentally enable it.

This patch lets PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE depend on BROKEN for 2.6.19.

The intention is to get this patch reversed in -mm as soon as it's in
Linus' tree, and reverse it for 2.6.20 or 2.6.21 after the fallout of
in-kernel problems PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE causes got fixed.
