[TCP]: Fix bug #5070: kernel BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:864

1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off.
2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU.
3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented
since it was created before the ICMP event.  The first fragment
is then sent out.

At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment.
However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore
creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long.

This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head.

4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of
of the fragment.
5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment
since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU.

At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being
fed to tso_fragment which bombs out.

My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO
socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates
a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended.

So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used
in this case.

[PATCH] NFS: Ensure we always update inode->i_mode when doing O_EXCL creates

When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).

The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

[PATCH] intelfb/fbdev: Save info->flags in a local variable

Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059)

The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after
switching to anot console and back.

Steps to reproduce:

  initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60
  1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60)
  2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100
  tty1: 800x600-100
  3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1
  tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting)

This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in
set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify
fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug
though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected.

The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any
of the driver hooks.  A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to
separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that
is set by core fbdev/fbcon.

Herbert Xu [Thu, 11 Aug 2005 01:32:36 +0000 (18:32 -0700)]
[TCP]: Adjust {p,f}ackets_out correctly in tcp_retransmit_skb()

Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion
failure in tcp_mark_head_lost.  First of all, this can only
occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here.
If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems.

So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering.  Normally
fackets_out is less than packets_out.  The only reason
I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out
is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a
TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored
in the TSO skb.  This might occur as the result of an expiring
dst entry.

In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in
tcp_output.c).  However, fackets_out is unchanged which means
that it may in fact exceed packets_out.

Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where
packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing
fackets_out.

So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate
amount here as well.

19 years ago[NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat
Andrew Morton [Tue, 9 Aug 2005 22:29:19 +0000 (15:29 -0700)]
[NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat

From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>

sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!

This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure.  Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.

I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:

http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c

Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

[ I fixed that. -DaveM ]

19 years ago[PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix
Paul Jackson [Tue, 9 Aug 2005 17:07:59 +0000 (10:07 -0700)]
[PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix

Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.

For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly
frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock
can be seen every few days.  If you are not using the cpuset
notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock.

The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  drop cpuset_sem

Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and
allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values
changed in the interim.  This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain
cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task.

To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding
cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper
call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem.

So the new logic is:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    stash path in kmalloc'd buffer
  drop cpuset_sem
  call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  free path

The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any
calls to kmalloc.  The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was
already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path.  In the old code, it
just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call
that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper().  In the new code, with the
application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char
**ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(),
which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped.  Whereas the old code has just
one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release()
routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the
various places that a cpuset can be released.

This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that
previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.

We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on
the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the
system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which
inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by
the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport.
The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport()
routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer.

Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses:
- If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport,
  we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent.
- We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both
