  • Lockdep found a locking inconsistency in the mkiss_close function:

    > kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]

    > kernel: ---------------------------------
    > kernel: inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.

    > kernel: {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} state was registered at:

    The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
    but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
    lead to a deadlock.
    The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both
    by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.

  • This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c.

    It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

    It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
    cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
    work loop when the buffer fills up").

    It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
    function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
    and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

    And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
    to it:
    "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
    server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
    large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
    loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
    data in the quoted bits further down).

    ...

    Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
    flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
    the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
    forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
    process that could have emptied the PTY."

    which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.

    Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

  • This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
    return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
    void functions.

    It does not remove the returns that are immediately
    preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

    It also does not remove null void functions with return.

    Done via:
    $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
    xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Slip and a few other drivers use the same ioctl numbers on
    tty devices that are normally meant for sockets. This causes
    problems with our compat_ioctl handling that tries to convert
    the data structures in a different format.

    Fortunately, these five drivers all use 32 bit compatible
    data structures in the ioctl numbers, so we can just add
    a trivial compat_ioctl conversion function to each of them.

    SIOCSIFENCAP and SIOCGIFENCAP do not need to live in
    fs/compat_ioctl.c after this any more, and they are not
    used on any sockets.

  • The bpq ether driver is modifying the data art of the skb by first
    dropping the KISS byte (a command byte for the radio) then prepending the
    length + 4 of the remaining AX.25 packet to be transmitted as a little
    endian 16-bit number. If the high byte of the length has a different
    value than the dropped KISS byte users of clones of the skb may observe
    this as corruption. This was observed with by running listen(8) -a which
    uses a packet socket which clones transmit packets. The corruption will
    then typically be displayed for as a KISS "TX Delay" command for AX.25
    packets in the range of 252..508 bytes or any other KISS command for
    yet larger packets.

    Fixed by using skb_cow to create a private copy should the skb be cloned.
    Using skb_cow also allows us to cleanup the old logic to ensure sufficient
    headroom in the skb.

    While at it, replace a return of 0 from bpq_xmit with the proper constant
    NETDEV_TX_OK which is now being used everywhere else in this function.

    Affected: all 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
