[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression

Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when
it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz
nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or
ondemand) is used.

After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following
(totally correct) bug-fix commit:

   commit 0916bd3ebb7cefdd0f432e8491abe24f4b5a101e
   Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
   Date:   Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500

    [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.

This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden
(BIOS) bug visible on my laptop.

The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities)
optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an
incorrect value of '2'.

My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported:

   0: 1833000
   1: 1333000
   2: 1000000

Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance
states are usable.  A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 ..  2 are usable, a
value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable.

now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification.
Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is
initialized as well.  So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is
superfluous:

 [<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf
 [<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef
 [<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596
 [<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8
 [<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0
 [<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176
 [<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb
 [<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd

And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of
'2'.  Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is
probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely
doesnt query it after bootup either.  Maybe the value is kept at '2'
normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event
(such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs.

So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the
spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to
query it after the system has booted up.  So in my opinion the best (and
most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not
evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call,
but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's
notified during an asynchronous event.  This change is more permissive than
the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system.

This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at
1.83 GHz now. Yay!

Atsushi Nemoto [Fri, 26 Jan 2007 08:56:54 +0000 (00:56 -0800)]
[PATCH] SPI: alternative fix for spi_busnum_to_master

If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash, due
to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env().  This problem was not in
2.6.19.

The backtrace (on MIPS) was:
[<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8
[<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c  (in drivers/class.c)
[<801cb14c>] subsys_attr_store+0x2c/0x50
[<801cb80c>] flush_write_buffer+0x38/0x5c
[<801cb900>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x190
[<80181444>] vfs_write+0xc4/0x1a0
[<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0
[<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c

flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to
subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a struct
subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct
class_device.  The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of
class_device_attr_store().

This mismatch was caused by commit
3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of master
class.  This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so
subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops.

The commit was to fix spi_busnum_to_master().  Here is a patch fixes
this function in other way, just searching children list of
class_device.

Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery

It's not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data=journal will clean
pages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean.  This,
in turn, will result in the VM (and balance_dirty_pages() in particular)
to never realize that the pages got cleaned, and wait forever for an
event that already happened.

Technically, this seems to be a problem with ext3 itself, but it used to
be hidden by 'try_to_free_buffers()' noticing this situation on its own,
and just working around the filesystem problem.

This commit re-instates that hack, in order to avoid a regression for
the 2.6.20 release. This fixes bugzilla 7844:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7844

Peter Zijlstra points out that we should probably retain the debugging
code that this removes from cancel_dirty_page(), and I agree, but for
the imminent release we might as well just silence the warning too
(since it's not a new bug: anything that triggers that warning has been
around forever).

csum_tcpudp_nofold() but the asm code in the function expects
0x00000000c0a80001, therefore it returns a wrong checksum.  Explicit

[NETFILTER]: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRIS

With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility
by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of
XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger.

On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility
with old iptables binaries.

Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled
against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been
there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

17 years ago[TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed.
Masayuki Nakagawa [Wed, 24 Jan 2007 04:15:06 +0000 (20:15 -0800)]
[TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed.

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.

The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server.  Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server.  (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)

This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().

When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process().  If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().

However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request().  But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed.  Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.

I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

[PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier

A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset.  See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254

However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.

I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

[PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped

This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.

On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks.  After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty.  It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space.  Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.

The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped.  reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode.  reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked.  If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided.  This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

[PATCH] KVM: fix bogus pagefault on writable pages

If a page is marked as dirty in the guest pte, set_pte_common() can set the
writable bit on newly-instantiated shadow pte.  This optimization avoids
a write fault after the initial read fault.

However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly
reports the fault as a guest page fault, and the guest oopses on what appears
to be a correctly-mapped page.

Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user
access to a kernel page.

With the fix, a kvm guest can survive a whole night of running the kernel

[PATCH] KVM: fix race between mmio reads and injected interrupts

The kvm mmio read path looks like:

 1. guest read faults
 2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
 3. fails as a read requires userspace help
 4. exit to userspace
 5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed
 6. re-enter guest, fault again
 7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
 8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set
 9. instruction completes and guest is resumed

A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt
injection.  In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original
instruction, but the interrupt handler.  The next time an mmio read is
exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find
vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original
instruction.

The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways:
- little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals
- ne2000 fails under nfs read load
- rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is
  incapable of issuing them.

Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending.

A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately
instead.  However that's a bit more complex.
