NAND: Fix NAND ECC errors on AMD Au1550

    On AMD Au1550 the static bus controller fails to keep -CE asserted during
chip ready delay on read commands and the NAND chip being used requires this.
So, the current driver allows nand_base.c to drive -CE manually during the
entire sector read. When the PCMCIA driver is enabled however, occasionally
the ECC errors occur on NAND reads. This happens because the PCMCIA driver
polls sockets periodically and reads one of the board's control/status regs
(BCSRs) which are on the same static bus as the NAND flash, and just use
another chip select (and the NOR flash also resides on that bus), so as the
NAND driver forces NAND chip select asserted and the -RE signal is shared, a
contention occurs on the static bus when BCSR or NOR flash is read while we're
reading from NAND.
    So, we either can't keep interrupts enabled during the whole NAND sector
read (which is hardly acceptable), or have to implement some interlocking
scheme between multiple drivers (which is painful, and makes me shudder :-).
    There's a third way which has proven to work: to force -CE asserted only
while we're waiting for a NAND chip to become ready after a read command,
disabling interrupts for a maximum of 25 microseconds (according to Toshiba
TC58DVM92A1FT00 datasheet -- this chip is mentioned in the board schematics);
for Samsung NAND chip which seems to be actually used this delay is even less,
12 us.

     During the last cleanup of the AMD Au1550 NAND driver the old buglet was

[PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted

When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with.  This gives the user vital diagnostics as to

18 years ago[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Jan Niehusmann [Mon, 15 May 2006 16:44:12 +0000 (09:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path

Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link.  I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.

In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS.  Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.

In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:

        if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
                /*
                 * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
                 * request from the recvq/xmitq.
                 */
                smb_lock_server(server);
                if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
                        list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
                        smb_rput(req);
                }
                smb_unlock_server(server);
        }
[...]
        if (signal_pending(current))
                req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;

I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set.  This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.

Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab.  As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).

If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.

I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel

Even since a previous patch:

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.

symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock.  This deadlocks the kernel of course.

This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly.  Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address().  The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

[PATCH] initramfs: fix CPIO hardlink check

Copy the filenames of hardlinks when inserting them into the hash, since
the "name" pointer may point to scratch space (name_buf).  Not doing so
results in corruption if the scratch space is later overwritten: the wrong
file may be hardlinked, or, if the scratch space contains garbage, the link
will fail and a 0-byte file will be created instead.
