After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly. Signed-off-by:

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin. GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative, and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this purpose. See for example http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly not some rare unusual case. This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested code base." * 'x86/ld-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool (*) That's a manly release numbering system.

Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val). The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

-
Mike Snitzer authored
When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace. This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing. This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when discard passdown was disabled. We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown." This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume' so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices change. Signed-off-by:

Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time, move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state (notably uid/gid information) is updated too. Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784 : "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point. Reported-by:

Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Commit 1cc0c998 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument. First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which doesn't exist. Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in __acpi_bus_set_power(). Also make sure that the explicit_set flag for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist. Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the target state, the function will request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3. However, ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML method is defined for the given device, which is rare. This causes problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work now. In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned off as a result. To fix this issue restore the old behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument. This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state, but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a better solution in the future.

Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844 "tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers. Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the problem even more apparent. The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not called and the buffers cannot be flushed. After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition which previously caused the problem to be permanent. The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the same issue. This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport to -stable. Signed-off-by:

The second patch is to address a bug with FILEIO backends where the incorrect number of blocks for READ_CAPACITY was being reported after an underlying device-mapper block_device size change. This patch uses now i_size_read() in fd_get_blocks() for FILEIO backends with an underlying block_device, instead of trying to determine this value at setup time during fd_create_virtdevice(). (hch CC'ed) Both are CC'ed to stable." * '3.4-urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: target: Fix bug in handling of FILEIO + block_device resize ops target: Fix SPC-2 RELEASE bug for multi-session iSCSI client setups

This patch fixes a bug in the handling of FILEIO w/ underlying block_device resize operations where the original fd_dev->fd_dev_size was incorrectly being used in fd_get_blocks() for READ_CAPACITY response payloads. This patch avoids using fd_dev->fd_dev_size for FILEIO devices with an underlying block_device, and instead changes fd_get_blocks() to get the sector count directly from i_size_read() as recommended by hch.

Pull last minute virtio fixes from Michael S. Tsirkin: "Here are a couple of last minute virtio fixes for 3.4. Hope it's not too late yes - I might have tried too hard to make sure the fix is well tested. Fixes are by Amit and myself. One fixes module removal and one suspend of a VM, the last one the handling of out of memory condition. They are thus very low risk as most people never hit these paths, but do fix very annoying problems for people that do use the feature. Signed-off-by:

Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP register corruption in userspace since the register values are not necessarily those restored from the sigframe. This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler. Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the handler is essentially a nop. Reported-by:

A zero value for prot_sect in the memory types table implies that section mappings should never be created for the memory type in question. This is checked for in alloc_init_section(). With LPAE, we set a bit to mask access flag faults for kernel mappings. This breaks the aforementioned (!prot_sect) check in alloc_init_section(). This patch fixes this bug by first checking for a non-zero prot_sect before setting the PMD_SECT_AF flag. Signed-off-by:
