Merge branch 'iommu/fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu

2012-02-09T03:11:00+00:00

One patch fixes an bug in the ARM/MSM IOMMU code which returned sucess
in the unmap function even when an error occured and the other patch
adds a workaround into the AMD IOMMU driver to better handle broken IVRS
ACPI tables (this patch fixes the case when a device is not listed in
the table but actually translated by the iommu).

SPI bug fixes for v3.3-rc2

Minor SPI device driver changes.  A rename of the pch_spi_pcidev symbol
that merely eliminates a modpost warning, and a Kconfig change to allow
the Samsung spi driver to build on EXYNOS.

pcmcia: fix socket refcount decrementing on each resume

2012-02-09T03:03:51+00:00

This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has
references, causing slab caches corruption.  A fatal oops quickly
follows this warning - often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning
causes the kernel to oops.

While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and a
CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.

  WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()

As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
right before each get_device():

  printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));

Looking at commit 7b24e7988263 ("pcmcia: split up central event handler"),
the following change was made to cs.c:

                return 0;
        }
 #endif
-
-       send_event(skt, CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME, CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
+       if (!(skt->state & SOCKET_CARDBUS) && (skt->callback))
+               skt->callback->early_resume(skt);
        return 0;
 }

And the corresponding change in ds.c is from:

-static int ds_event(struct pcmcia_socket *skt, event_t event, int priority)
-{
-       struct pcmcia_socket *s = pcmcia_get_socket(skt);
...
-       switch (event) {
...
-       case CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME:
-               if (verify_cis_cache(skt) != 0) {
-                       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
-                       /* first, remove the card */
-                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL, CS_EVENT_PRI_HIGH);
-                       mutex_lock(&s->ops_mutex);
-                       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
-                       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
-                       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
-                       s->functions = 0;
-                       mutex_unlock(&s->ops_mutex);
-                       /* now, add the new card */
-                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION,
-                                CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
-               }
-               break;
...
-    }

-    pcmcia_put_socket(s);

-    return 0;
-} /* ds_event */

to:

+static int pcmcia_bus_early_resume(struct pcmcia_socket *skt)
+{
+       if (!verify_cis_cache(skt)) {
+               pcmcia_put_socket(skt);
+               return 0;
+       }

+       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");

+       /* first, remove the card */
+       pcmcia_bus_remove(skt);
+       mutex_lock(&skt->ops_mutex);
+       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
+       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
+       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
+       skt->functions = 0;
+       mutex_unlock(&skt->ops_mutex);

+       /* now, add the new card */
+       pcmcia_bus_add(skt);
+       return 0;
+}

As can be seen, the original function called pcmcia_get_socket() and
pcmcia_put_socket() around the guts, whereas the replacement code
calls pcmcia_put_socket() only in one path.  This creates an imbalance
in the refcounting.

Testing with pcmcia_put_socket() put removed shows that the bug is gone:

  dpm_suspend: c1a10998 [pcmcia_socket0] 5
  dpm_suspend_noirq: c1a10998 [pcmcia_socket0] 5
  dpm_resume_noirq: c1a10998 [pcmcia_socket0] 5
  dpm_resume: c1a10998 [pcmcia_socket0] 5
  dpm_complete: c1a10998 [pcmcia_socket0] 5

mm: fix UP THP spin_is_locked BUGs

2012-02-09T03:03:51+00:00

Fix CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y CONFIG_SMP=n CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=n kernel: spin_is_locked() is then always false,
and so triggers some BUGs in Transparent HugePage codepaths.

asm-generic/bug.h mentions this problem, and provides a WARN_ON_SMP(x);
but being too lazy to add VM_BUG_ON_SMP, BUG_ON_SMP, WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE,
VM_WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE, just test NR_CPUS != 1 in the existing VM_BUG_ONs.

drivers/leds/leds-lm3530.c: fix setting pltfm->als_vmax

2012-02-09T03:03:51+00:00

In current code, pltfm->als_vmin is set to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV and
pltfm->als_vmax is 0.  This does not make sense.  I think what we want
here is setting pltfm->als_vmax to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV.

Both als_vmin and als_vmax local variables will be set to
pltfm->als_vmin and pltfm->als_vmax by a few lines latter.  Thus also
remove a redundant assignment for als_vmin and als_vmax in this patch.

mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migration

2012-02-09T03:03:51+00:00

When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a
zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone.  Migration
avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned.

Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap.  When this happens,
migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists
which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the
following oops

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but
is unrelated to the bug triggering.  The real problem was because the PFN
layout looks like this

  Zone PFN ranges:
    DMA      0x00000010 -> 0x00001000
    DMA32    0x00001000 -> 0x00100000
    Normal   0x00100000 -> 0x01e80000
  Movable zone start PFN for each node
  early_node_map[14] active PFN ranges
      0: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009b
      0: 0x00000100 -> 0x0007a1ec
      0: 0x0007a354 -> 0x0007a379
      0: 0x0007f7ff -> 0x0007f800
      0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00680000
      1: 0x00680000 -> 0x00e80000
      0: 0x00e80000 -> 0x01080000
      1: 0x01080000 -> 0x01280000
      0: 0x01280000 -> 0x01480000
      1: 0x01480000 -> 0x01680000
      0: 0x01680000 -> 0x01880000
      1: 0x01880000 -> 0x01a80000
      0: 0x01a80000 -> 0x01c80000
      1: 0x01c80000 -> 0x01e80000

The fix is straight-forward.  isolate_migratepages() has to make a
similar check to isolate_freepage to ensure that it never isolates pages
from a zone it does not hold the LRU lock for.

This was discovered in a 3.0-based kernel but it affects 3.1.x, 3.2.x
and current mainline.
