XZ: Fix incorrect XZ_BUF_ERROR

2011-09-21T20:39:59+00:00

xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the
following was true:

 - The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides
   that much output space.

 - When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input
   buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker.  So LZMA2
   won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus
   won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet.

 - A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the
   temp buffer.  This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice
   it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ.

This fixes  where
Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt.

This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed
size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no
output space.  Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus
don't trigger this bug.

This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call
xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be
useless.  This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU
cycles.

init: carefully handle loglevel option on kernel cmdline.

2011-09-21T20:18:52+00:00

When a malformed loglevel value (for example "${abc}") is passed on the
kernel cmdline, the loglevel itself is being set to 0.

That then suppresses all following messages, including all the errors
and crashes caused by other malformed cmdline options.  This could make
debugging process quite tricky.

This patch leaves the previous value of loglevel if the new value is
incorrect and reports an error code in this case.

teach /proc/$pid/numa_maps about transparent hugepages

2011-09-21T20:15:44+00:00

This is modeled after the smaps code.

It detects transparent hugepages and then does a single gather_stats()
for the page as a whole.  This has two benifits:
 1. It is more efficient since it does many pages in a single shot.
 2. It does not have to break down the huge page.

break out numa_maps gather_pte_stats() checks

2011-09-21T20:15:44+00:00

gather_pte_stats() does a number of checks on a target page
to see whether it should even be considered for statistics.
This breaks that code out in to a separate function so that
we can use it in the transparent hugepage case in the next
patch.

make /proc/$pid/numa_maps gather_stats() take variable page size

2011-09-21T20:15:44+00:00

We need to teach the numa_maps code about transparent huge pages.  The
first step is to teach gather_stats() that the pte it is dealing with
might represent more than one page.

Note that will we use this in a moment for transparent huge pages since
they have use a single pmd_t which _acts_ as a "surrogate" for a bunch
of smaller pte_t's.

I'm a _bit_ unhappy that this interface counts in hugetlbfs page sizes
for hugetlbfs pages and PAGE_SIZE for normal pages.  That means that to
figure out how many _bytes_ "dirty=1" means, you must first know the
hugetlbfs page size.  That's easier said than done especially if you
don't have visibility in to the mount.

But, that's probably a discussion for another day especially since it
would change behavior to fix it.  But, just in case anyone wonders why
this patch only passes a '1' in the hugetlb case...

xfrm: Perform a replay check after return from async codepaths

2011-09-21T19:20:57+00:00

When asyncronous crypto algorithms are used, there might be many
packets that passed the xfrm replay check, but the replay advance
function is not called yet for these packets. So the replay check
function would accept a replay of all of these packets. Also the
system might crash if there are more packets in async processing
than the size of the anti replay window, because the replay advance
function would try to update the replay window beyond the bounds.

This pach adds a second replay check after resuming from the async
processing to fix these issues.

fib:fix BUG_ON in fib_nl_newrule when add new fib rule

2011-09-21T19:16:40+00:00

add new fib rule can cause BUG_ON happen
the reproduce shell is
ip rule add pref 38
ip rule add pref 38
ip rule add to 192.168.3.0/24 goto 38
ip rule del pref 38
ip rule add to 192.168.3.0/24 goto 38
ip rule add pref 38

then the BUG_ON will happen
del BUG_ON and use (ctarget == NULL) identify whether this rule is unresolved
