percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
Before this patch we had the following:
percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.
After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.
Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.
This patch reverts 1f7c14c62c. This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.
Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.
After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470
A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.
Consider the following scenario:
INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list
CPU0 CPU1
net_rx_action poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A
poll_one_napi
napi->poll
netif_rx_complete
__napi_complete
(removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)
In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.
Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've
implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.
I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from
the poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given
that the alternative is a crash.

The patch 6341c39 "tracehook: exec" introduced a small regression in
2.6.27 regarding binfmt_misc exec event reporting. Since the reporting
is now done in the common search_binary_handler() function, an exec
of a misc binary will result in two (or possibly multiple) exec events
being reported, instead of just a single one, because the misc handler
contains a recursive call to search_binary_handler.
To add to the confusion, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is not active, the multiple
SIGTRAP signals will in fact cause only a single ptrace intercept, as the
signals are not queued. However, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is on, the debugger
will actually see multiple ptrace intercepts (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC).
The test program included below demonstrates the problem.
This change fixes the bug by calling tracehook_report_exec() only in the
outermost search_binary_handler() call (bprm->recursion_depth == 0).
The additional change to restore bprm->recursion_depth after each binfmt
load_binary call is actually superfluous for this bug, since we test the
value saved on entry to search_binary_handler(). But it keeps the use of
of the depth count to its most obvious expected meaning. Depending on what
binfmt handlers do in certain cases, there could have been false-positive
tests for recursion limits before this change.
/* Test program using PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC.
This forks and exec's the first argument with the rest of the arguments,
while ptrace'ing. It expects to see one PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop and
then a successful exit, with no other signals or events in between.
Test for kernel doing two PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stops for a binfmt_misc exec:
$ gcc -g traceexec.c -o traceexec
$ sudo sh -c 'echo :test:M::foobar::/bin/cat: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register'
$ echo 'foobar test' > ./foobar
$ chmod +x ./foobar

This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited
neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as
far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality
for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time).
Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
generated locally.

The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.
The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.

The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.
try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.

This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present
tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence
numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and
tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple
packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following
loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd
backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where
delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being
covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This
patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for
separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance
functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is
that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic
is no longer necessary, simplifying the code.
Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional
change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at:

As reported by Hermann Lauer, PCS PHY support in the sungem
driver simply doesn't work.
When the chip is reset due to open, or some other similar operation,
the PCS is reset too but we don't program it back into a running
state. The result is no link when the device is brought up.
This partially rectifies the situation for the moment, by kicking
the PCS after a sungem chip reset so that it will renegotiate and
be re-enabled again.
The behavior is still a little bit dodgy as the added renegotiate
make the link take some time after bringing the interface up,
but this is a significant improvement in that things actually work
now :-)

Currently audit=0 on the kernel command line does absolutely nothing.
Audit always loads and always uses its resources such as creating the
kernel netlink socket. This patch causes audit=0 to actually disable
audit. Audit will use no resources and starting the userspace auditd
daemon will not cause the kernel audit system to activate.

Some systems report SIS 5513 as both vendor/id and subvendor/id
string. In that case we can't distinguish the system by the id
svid/sdid and in fact the entry here breaks some boxes. At some
point we need to find another way to detect the Targa Visionary 1000,
until then this trades a hang for some users with lower performance
for others.

ata_piix: add borked Tecra M4 to broken suspend list
introduced DMI variables checking, but they can be null, so that
we possibly dereference null.
Check if they are null and avoid checks in that case.
Solves:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

pata_hpt366 had its clock detection wrong and detected 25Mhz as 40Mhz
and vice-versa. Fix it.

Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had
issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware.
Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes
things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working
on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not
actual hardware issues.
