netlink: genl: fix circular locking
genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:
- dump start:
genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
second time
- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex
Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.

The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.
This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).
In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a
model for implementation.

af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM sockets
The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude)
form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the
receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value
stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking
the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning
EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is
datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable
by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams
owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This
is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the
abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an
(usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request
with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.
The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
different places) into a single location.

atl1: relax eeprom mac address error check
The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly:
- If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and
validate it.
- If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from
SPI flash.
- If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the
MAC Station Address register.
- If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the
kernel.
We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all
zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle
this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes
a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we
never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all-
zeros address in EEPROM.
This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC
address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.

One way to fix this would be to split helper cleanup from the unregistration

register it normally and make sure its not assigned to connections during

The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC

on an older PCs.

radix-tree: fix small lockless radix-tree bug
We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.
However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.
This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.
What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.
Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).
This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.
Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

/proc/sysvipc/shm: fix 32-bit truncation of segment sizes
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).
This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.
Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.
Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.
Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:
Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------
Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:
----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------
So revert this thing for now.

The ipv4 part was fine, but the ipv6 part was not
done correctly. Unlike the ipv4 side, the ipv6 code
already has a .destroy method for rawv6_prot.
So now there were two assignments to this member, and
what the compiler does is use the last one, effectively
making the ipv6 parts of that changeset a NOP.
Fix this by removing the:
.destroy = inet6_destroy_sock,
line, and adding an inet6_destroy_sock() call to the
end of raw6_destroy().

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.
