  • feed9bab7   spi: omap2_mcspi PIO RX fix ... Browse Code »

    Before transmission of the last word in PIO RX_ONLY mode rx+tx mode
    is enabled:

    /* prevent last RX_ONLY read from triggering
    * more word i/o: switch to rx+tx
    */
    if (c == 0 && tx == NULL)
    mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi,
    OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF0, l);

    But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and
    rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers.

    Fix it by decrementing c in the beginning of the various I/O loops.

  • dbcc2ec60   Revert "mac80211: warn when receiving frames with unaligned data" ... Browse Code »

    This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the
    release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really
    relevant to wireless driver developers.

    The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but
    at least we won't unnecessarily worry users.

  • c5c99429f   fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing ... Browse Code »

    The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
    is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
    the system leaks some of the hugepages.

    -------------------------------------------------------
    Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
    HugePages_Total: 5500
    HugePages_Free: 5500
    HugePages_Rsvd: 0
    Hugepagesize: 2048 kB

    Just before shutdown:
    HugePages_Total: 5500
    HugePages_Free: 4475
    HugePages_Rsvd: 0
    Hugepagesize: 2048 kB

    After shutdown:
    HugePages_Total: 5500
    HugePages_Free: 4988
    HugePages_Rsvd:
    0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
    locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
    huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
    copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
    violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
    referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
    occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
    pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
    get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

    Because the data field was never filled and a binary sysctl handler was
    never written this sysctl has never been usable through the sys_sysctl
    interface. So just remove the binary sysctl number. Making the kernel
    sanity checks happy.

  • fabe874a4   lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unload ... Browse Code »

    Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2

    that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
    memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.

    The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
    a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
    it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
    and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do
    with keys that are in module space.
