elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching

2013-08-20T15:43:03+00:00

commit d50235b7bc3ee0a0427984d763ea7534149531b4 upstream.

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
    Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
    don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
    ->elevator_data.
    For example:
        Thread A:                               Thread B
        blk_queu_bio                            elevator_switch
        spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block)           elevator_alloc
        elv_merge                               elevator_init_fn

    Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
    ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
    nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.

    Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
    operations in a atomic operation.

    Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
    1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
    2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done

    The test method also use this method.

x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction

2013-08-20T15:43:02+00:00

commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826 upstream.

When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.

microblaze: fix clone syscall

2013-08-20T15:43:02+00:00

commit dfa9771a7c4784bafd0673bc7abcee3813088b77 upstream.

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

SUNRPC: If the rpcbind channel is disconnected, fail the call to unregister

2013-08-15T05:59:08+00:00

commit 786615bc1ce84150ded80daea6bd9f6297f48e73 upstream.

If rpcbind causes our connection to the AF_LOCAL socket to close after
we've registered a service, then we want to be careful about reconnecting
since the mount namespace may have changed.

By simply refusing to reconnect the AF_LOCAL socket in the case of
unregister, we avoid the need to somehow save the mount namespace. While
this may lead to some services not unregistering properly, it should
be safe.

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

2013-08-15T05:59:07+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.

Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode"

2013-08-12T01:35:24+00:00

commit 148519120c6d1f19ad53349683aeae9f228b0b8d upstream.

Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:

  We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
  that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
  The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
  we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers.  We also
  have data from a large database setup where performance is also
  measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
  share-able.

  Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:

  kernel       reverts
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  1) vanilla   upstream (no reverts)

  2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c

  3) test      reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4
                       e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c

  In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
  after reverting 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4.  When
  69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 is included, C0 residency
  never seems to get above 40%.  Taking that patch out gets C0 near
  100% quite often, and performance increases.

  The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
  1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.

  - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
    almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
  - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4,
    shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.

  Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
  particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
  test kernels.  We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
  we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
  boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
  baseline.

firewire: fix libdc1394/FlyCap2 iso event regression

2013-08-04T08:50:38+00:00

commit 0699a73af3811b66b1ab5650575acee5eea841ab upstream.

Commit 18d627113b83 (firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet
header data) was intended to be an obvious bug fix, but libdc1394 and
FlyCap2 depend on the old behaviour by ignoring all returned information
and thus not noticing that not all packets have been received yet.  The
result was that the video frame buffers would be saved before they
contained the correct data.

Reintroduce the old behaviour for old clients.

What happens is that bus_register needs a statically allocated lock_key
because the last is handed in to lockdep. However, struct mem_ctl_info
embeds struct bus_type (the whole struct, not a pointer to it) and the
whole thing gets dynamically allocated.

Fix this by using a statically allocated struct bus_type for the MC bus.
