[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.

[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.

[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.

[SCSI] fix target scanning oops with fc transport class
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
the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport
(parent=rport).

[PATCH] namespace.c: fix bind mount from foreign namespace
I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix.
Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application
available from:
http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c
Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount.
The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in
clone_mnt(). Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail.
The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in
clone_mnt(). clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or
copy_tree(). copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or
copy_namespace().
When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always
current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting
mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do.
When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is
irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for
all copied mounts.
Jamie said:
This patch is correct. The old code was buggy for more fundamental and
serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the
same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).
