commit 7ca8b9c0dafd ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of

gdb to then go and use the 'g' command.  However, since that commit, the
'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its

Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that
works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

13 years agowriteback: limit write_cache_pages integrity scanning to current EOF
Dave Chinner [Wed, 9 Jun 2010 00:37:20 +0000 (10:37 +1000)]
writeback: limit write_cache_pages integrity scanning to current EOF

sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is
extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address
space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if
the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not
terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages.

For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at
the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get
to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan
started.

This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing
sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were
dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the
existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new)
within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be
captured.

This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into
holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only
addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.

writeback: pay attention to wbc->nr_to_write in write_cache_pages

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:

    wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=1024

    wbc_writepage: towrt=-1

    wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-85

This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made.  This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 ("vfs: Add

mac80211: fix deauth before assoc

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.

This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.

It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().

The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.

Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

drm/radeon: fix PM on non-vram cards.

PM attemps to unmap objects that aren't actually mapped into userspace ever,
so just don't bother unmapping them at this point, since all you are doing
is nothing. We should be making sure all access to these objects are locked in
kernel space instead. In theory the VRAM gart table is already done, and both
the shaders and stolen vga memory blocks are never accessed at runtime.

Revert "tty: fix a little bug in scrup, vt.c"

This reverts commit 962400e8fd29981a7b166e463dd143b6ac6a3e76, which was
entirely bogus.

The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and
that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'.  So
the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into
account.  Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols"
shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up
multiplying with the VGA character size twice.

This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it
actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern
(usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space)
into some random other allocation.

So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser
it looked like a problem with KMS or libata.  Jeff Chua saw it in
different places.

And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a
slab poison overwritten.  And bisected and reverted this to verify the
buggy commit.

r8169: fix random mdio_write failures

Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"

drm/i915: Move non-phys cursors into the GTT

Cursors need to be in the GTT domain when being accessed by the GPU.
Previously this was a fortuitous byproduct of userspace using pwrite()
to upload the image data into the cursor. The redundant clflush was
removed in commit 9b8c4a and so the image was no longer being flushed
out of the caches into main memory. One could also devise a scenario
where the cursor was rendered by the GPU, prior to being attached as the
cursor, resulting in similar corruption due to the missing MI_FLUSH.

Fixes:

module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.

In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:

libcrc32c_mod_init
 crypto_alloc_shash
  crypto_alloc_tfm
   crypto_find_alg
    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
     crypto_larval_lookup
      request_module

If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.

Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.

Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
   symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
   external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
hold the lock the whole time.

So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just

module: move find_module check to end

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).

Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.

In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.
