As noticed by Oliver Hartkopp, the backport of the 'net: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive path' (2.6.30.y commit: 172570a2, upstream commit: d55d87fd ) was buggy. It should have added an skb_orphan() call to both skb_set_owner_w() and skb_set_owner_r(). Instead it added two calls to skb_set_owner_r(). This fixes it up. Signed-off-by:

commit bbf31bf1 upstream. ipv4 ip_frag_reasm(), fully replace 'dev_net(dev)' with 'net', defined previously patched into 2.6.29. Between 2.6.28.10 and 2.6.29, net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c was patched, changing from dev_net(dev) to container_of(...). Unfortunately the goto section (out_fail) on oversized packets inside ip_frag_reasm() didn't get touched up as well. Oversized IP packets cause a NULL pointer dereference and immediate hang. I discovered this running openvasd and my previous email on this is titled: NULL pointer dereference at 2.6.32-rc8:net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c:566 Signed-off-by:

commit 252c5f94 upstream. We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an 8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform. On the SLES11 kernel [2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm. The simple patch below causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau. But wait, there's more: We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core. This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and memories--a stochastic NUMA effect. The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform] with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels. With 31-rc6 on Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K jpm] than the unpatched kernel. Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er] contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the sbrk() system call. The patch: A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case for brk(). The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for this case. Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple. We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL "importer". The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock. However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma ['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we need to check for 'insert', as well. And Hugh points out that we should also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock). akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)" [hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk: test vma start too] Signed-off-by:

commit 1ac0cb5d upstream. do_anonymous_page() has been wrong to dirty the pte regardless. If it's not going to mark the pte writable, then it won't help to mark it dirty here, and clogs up memory with pages which will need swap instead of being thrown away. Especially wrong if no overcommit is chosen, and this vma is not yet VM_ACCOUNTed - we could exceed the limit and OOM despite no overcommit. Signed-off-by:

HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think it will stop there. Switch to a blacklist, and make sure only Radeon- based models get ECNVRAM. Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are: 1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs; 2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded; This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826. This fix is already present on 2.6.31. This is a minimal patch for 2.6.30-stable, based on mainline commits: 050df107, 7d95a3d5, 59fe4fe3, 6da25bf5 Signed-off-by:

commit 0c570cde upstream. Since 2.6.29 the PCI PM core have been restoring the standard configuration registers of PCI devices in the early phase of resume. In particular, PCI devices without drivers have been handled this way since commit 355a72d7 (PCI: Rework default handling of suspend and resume). Unfortunately, this leads to post-resume problems with CardBus devices which cannot be accessed in the early phase of resume, because the sockets they are on have not been woken up yet at that point. To solve this problem, move the yenta socket resume to the early phase of resume and, analogously, move the suspend of it to the late phase of suspend. Additionally, remove some unnecessary PCI code from the yenta socket's resume routine. Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13092 , which is a post-2.6.28 regression. Signed-off-by:

Not upstream as it is fixed differently in .32 I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next node on failure to allocate a huge page. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman responded: I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in commit 63b4613c ["hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when allocation was successful. Andy Whitcroft countered that the existing behavior looked like Andi Kleen's original implementation and suggested that we ask him. We did and Andy replied that his intention was to interleave the allocations. So, ... This patch moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. This will unconditionally advance the next node from which to alloc, interleaving successful allocations over the nodes with sufficient contiguous memory, and skipping over nodes that fail the huge page allocation attempt. Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only be called for huge pages of order > MAX_ORDER. Signed-off-by:

netfilter: nf_nat: fix inverted logic for persistent NAT mappings Upstream commit cce5a5c3: Kernel 2.6.30 introduced a patch [1] for the persistent option in the netfilter SNAT target. This is exactly what we need here so I had a quick look at the code and noticed that the patch is wrong. The logic is simply inverted. The patch below fixes this. Also note that because of this the default behavior of the SNAT target has changed since kernel 2.6.30 as it now ignores the destination IP in choosing the source IP for nating (which should only be the case if the persistent option is set).

fixed upstream in commit b7058842 in a different way The ax25 code tried to use if (optlen < sizeof(int)) return -EINVAL; as a security check against optlen being negative (or zero) in the set socket option. Unfortunately, "sizeof(int)" is an unsigned property, with the result that the whole comparison is done in unsigned, letting negative values slip through. This patch changes this to if (optlen < (int)sizeof(int)) return -EINVAL; so that the comparison is done as signed, and negative values get properly caught. Signed-off-by:

commit 31b239ad upstream. Commit a5bfc471 dropped explicit pci_intx() manipulation from ahci because it seemed unnecessary and ahci doesn't seem to be the right place to be tweaking it if it were. This was largely okay but there are exceptions. There was one on an embedded platform which was fixed via firmware and now bko#14124 reports it on a HP DL320. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14124 I still think this isn't something libata drivers should be caring about (the only ones which are calling pci_intx() explicitly are libata ones and one other driver) but for now reverting the change seems to be the right thing to do.

To my understanding, it became obsolete with the advent of the more robust check in mmu_alloc_roots (89da4ff17f). Moreover, it prevents the conceptually safe pattern 1. set sregs 2. register mem-slots 3. run vcpu by setting a sticky triple fault during step 1. Signed-off-by:

Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses.

commit 1f28fcd9 upstream. This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID: <200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the corruption. I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the root cause. This corrects the bug. I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. Reported-by:

commit a9ece53c upstream. Commit b478b782 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result, it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S /bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1 16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139 This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.

commit 580be083 upstream. In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

commit 7e24bc1c upstream. Similar to commit b6adc195 (PCI hotplug: acpiphp wants a 64-bit _SUN), pci_slot.ko reads and creates sysfs directories based on the _SUN method. Certain HP platforms return 64 bits in _SUN. This change to pci_slot.ko allows us to see the correct sysfs directories. Reported-by:

commit 46db2f86 upstream. The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

commit 6b5096e4 upstream. One more form factor for Compaq Evo D510, which needs the same quirk as the other form factors. Apparently there's no hardware monitoring chip on that one, but SPD EEPROMs, so it's still worth unhiding the SMBus. Signed-off-by:
