[TCP] MTUprobe: Cleanup send queue check (no need to loop)
The original code has striking complexity to perform a query
which can be reduced to a very simple compare.
FIN seqno may be included to write_seq but it should not make
any significant difference here compared to skb->len which was
used previously. One won't end up there with SYN still queued.
Use of write_seq check guarantees that there's a valid skb in
send_head so I removed the extra check.

It seems that the checked range for receiver window check should

correct seqno already. Plus, it SHOULD account packets that are

[TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control function
From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com>
sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm. This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.
sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
When the abstraction functions got added, conversion here was
made incorrectly. As a result, the skb may end up pointing
to skb which got included to the probe skb and then was freed.

When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I

cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one

In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during

negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).
The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit. Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.
This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system. Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.
CPU A CPU B
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
set IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
spin_lock(desc_lock)
clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.
With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.
For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it. There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code. I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.

[MIPS] Sibyte: Stop timers before programming next even.
We have no guarantee by the generic time code that the timer is stopped
when the ->next_event method is called. Modifying the Timer Initial Count
register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to
the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual. So stop the timer before
reprogramming.
This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously.

For the old minimum of a single tick a value of zero would be programmed
into the init value register which in the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User
Manual in the Timer Special Cases section is documented to have
UNPREDICTABLE effect.
Observable sympthoms of this bug were hangs of several seconds on the
console during bootup and later if both dyntick and highres timer options
were activated.
In theory contiguous mode of the timers is also affected but in an act of
hopeless lack of realism I'll assume nobody will ever configure a KERNEL
for HZ > 500kHz but if so I leave that to evolution to sort out.

Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore
systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but
VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels.
SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that
users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix
the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into
the generic CPU probe.

sched: fix __set_task_cpu() SMP race
Grant Wilson has reported rare SCHED_FAIR_USER crashes on his quad-core
system, which crashes can only be explained via runqueue corruption.
there is a narrow SMP race in __set_task_cpu(): after ->cpu is set up to
a new value, task_rq_lock(p, ...) can be successfuly executed on another
CPU. We must ensure that updates of per-task data have been completed by
this moment.
this bug has been hiding in the Linux scheduler for an eternity (we never
had any explicit barrier for task->cpu in set_task_cpu() - so the bug was
introduced in 2.5.1), but only became visible via set_task_cfs_rq() being
accidentally put after the task->cpu update. It also probably needs a
sufficiently out-of-order CPU to trigger.

sched: fix SCHED_FIFO tasks & FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
Suppose that the SCHED_FIFO task does
switch_uid(new_user);
Now, p->se.cfs_rq and p->se.parent both point into the old

for !fair_sched_class case.
Suppose that old user_struct/task_group is freed/reused, and the task
does
sched_setscheduler(SCHED_NORMAL);
__setscheduler() sets fair_sched_class, but doesn't update
->se.cfs_rq/parent which point to the freed memory.
This means that check_preempt_wakeup() doing
while (!is_same_group(se, pse)) {
se = parent_entity(se);
pse = parent_entity(pse);
}

Perhaps we need something like the patch below, note that
__setscheduler() can't do set_task_cfs_rq().
sched: fix accounting of interrupts during guest execution on s390
Currently the scheduler checks for PF_VCPU to decide if this timeslice
has to be accounted as guest time. On s390 host interrupts are not
disabled during guest execution. This causes theses interrupts to be
accounted as guest time if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is set. Solution
is to check if an interrupt triggered account_system_time. As the tick
is timer interrupt based, we have to subtract hardirq_offset.
I tested the patch on s390 with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and on
x86_64. Seems to work.

The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system

export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops.
Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS
passwords.
