perf tools: Add anonymous huge page recognition

2013-08-15T05:57:08+00:00

commit d0528b5d71faf612014dd7672e44225c915344b2 upstream.

Judging anonymous memory's vm_area_struct, perf_mmap_event's filename
will be set to "//anon" indicating this vma belongs to anonymous
memory.

Once hugepage is used, vma's vm_file points to hugetlbfs. In this way,
this vma will not be regarded as anonymous memory by is_anon_memory() in
perf user space utility.

vfs: d_obtain_alias() needs to use "/" as default name.

2013-08-15T05:57:08+00:00

commit b911a6bdeef5848c468597d040e3407e0aee04ce upstream.

NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root.  This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted.  e.g.  if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then

 { cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }

will cause a WARN message like
   WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
   ...
   Root dentry has weird name <>

to appear in kernel logs.

So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.

SCSI: nsp32: use mdelay instead of large udelay constants

2013-08-15T05:57:08+00:00

commit b497ceb964a80ebada3b9b3cea4261409039e25a upstream.

ARM cannot handle udelay for more than 2 miliseconds, so we
should use mdelay instead for those.

tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake

2013-08-15T05:57:08+00:00

commit ed5467da0e369e65b247b99eb6403cb79172bcda upstream.

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.

The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.

The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.

Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.

The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

debugfs: debugfs_remove_recursive() must not rely on list_empty(d_subdirs)

2013-08-15T05:57:07+00:00

commit 776164c1faac4966ab14418bb0922e1820da1d19 upstream.

debugfs_remove_recursive() is wrong,

1. it wrongly assumes that !list_empty(d_subdirs) means that this
   dir should be removed.

   This is not that bad by itself, but:

2. if d_subdirs does not becomes empty after __debugfs_remove()
   it gives up and silently fails, it doesn't even try to remove
   other entries.

   However ->d_subdirs can be non-empty because it still has the
   already deleted !debugfs_positive() entries.

3. simple_release_fs() is called even if __debugfs_remove() fails.

Suppose we have

	dir1/
		dir2/
			file2
		file1

and someone opens dir1/dir2/file2.

Now, debugfs_remove_recursive(dir1/dir2) succeeds, and dir1/dir2 goes
away.

But debugfs_remove_recursive(dir1) silently fails and doesn't remove
this directory. Because it tries to delete (the already deleted)
dir1/dir2/file2 again and then fails due to "Avoid infinite loop"
logic.

Test-case:

	#!/bin/sh

	cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
	echo 'p:probe/sigprocmask sigprocmask' >> kprobe_events
	sleep 1000 < events/probe/sigprocmask/id &
	echo -n >| kprobe_events

	[ -d events/probe ] && echo "ERR!! failed to rm probe"

And after that it is not possible to create another probe entry.

With this patch debugfs_remove_recursive() skips !debugfs_positive()
files although this is not strictly needed. The most important change
is that it does not try to make ->d_subdirs empty, it simply scans
the whole list(s) recursively and removes as much as possible.

usb: core: don't try to reset_device() a port that got just disconnected

2013-08-15T05:57:07+00:00

commit 481f2d4f89f87a0baa26147f323380e31cfa7c44 upstream.

The USB hub driver's event handler contains a check to catch SuperSpeed
devices that transitioned into the SS.Inactive state and tries to fix
them with a reset. It decides whether to do a plain hub port reset or
call the usb_reset_device() function based on whether there was a device
attached to the port.

However, there are device/hub combinations (found with a JetFlash
Transcend mass storage stick (8564:1000) on the root hub of an Intel
LynxPoint PCH) which can transition to the SS.Inactive state on
disconnect (and stay there long enough for the host to notice). In this
case, above-mentioned reset check will call usb_reset_device() on the
stale device data structure. The kernel will send pointless LPM control
messages to the no longer connected device address and can even cause
several 5 second khubd stalls on some (buggy?) host controllers, before
finally accepting the device's fate amongst a flurry of error messages.

This patch makes the choice of reset dependent on the port status that
has just been read from the hub in addition to the existence of an
in-kernel data structure for the device, and only proceeds with the more
extensive reset if both are valid.

cifs: extend the buffer length enought for sprintf() using

2013-08-15T05:57:07+00:00

commit 057d6332b24a4497c55a761c83c823eed9e3f23b upstream.

For cifs_set_cifscreds() in "fs/cifs/connect.c", 'desc' buffer length
is 'CIFSCREDS_DESC_SIZE' (56 is less than 256), and 'ses->domainName'
length may be "255 + '\0'".

The related sprintf() may cause memory overflow, so need extend related
buffer enough to hold all things.

It is also necessary to be sure of 'ses->domainName' must be less than
256, and define the related macro instead of hard code number '256'.

ext4: fix mount/remount error messages for incompatible mount options

2013-08-15T05:57:07+00:00

commit 6ae6514b33f941d3386da0dfbe2942766eab1577 upstream.

Commit 5688978 ("ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options")
introduced incorrect messages shown while choosing wrong mount options.

First of all, both cases of incorrect mount options,
"data=journal,delalloc" and "data=journal,dioread_nolock" result in
the same error message.

Secondly, the problem above isn't solved for remount option: the
mismatched parameter is simply ignored.  Moreover, ext4_msg states
that remount with options "data=journal,delalloc" succeeded, which is
not true.

To fix it up, I added a simple check after parse_options() call to
ensure that data=journal and delalloc/dioread_nolock parameters are
not present at the same time.

virtio: console: return -ENODEV on all read operations after unplug

2013-08-15T05:57:07+00:00

commit 96f97a83910cdb9d89d127c5ee523f8fc040a804 upstream.

If a port gets unplugged while a user is blocked on read(), -ENODEV is
returned.  However, subsequent read()s returned 0, indicating there's no
host-side connection (but not indicating the device went away).

This also happened when a port was unplugged and the user didn't have
any blocking operation pending.  If the user didn't monitor the SIGIO
signal, they won't have a chance to find out if the port went away.

Fix by returning -ENODEV on all read()s after the port gets unplugged.
write() already behaves this way.
