NFS: Fix a writeback race...

2007-11-16T17:37:01Z

patch 61e930a904966cc37e0a3404276f0b73037e57ca in mainline This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit 44dd151d5c21234cc534c47d7382f5c28c3143cd We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup(). Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date. Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ocfs2: fix write() performance regression

2007-11-16T17:37:01Z

patch 4e9563fd55ff4479f2b118d0757d121dd0cfc39c in mainline. ocfs2: fix write() performance regression On file systems which don't support sparse files, Ocfs2_map_page_blocks() was reading blocks on appending writes. This caused write performance to suffer dramatically. Fix this by detecting an appending write on a nonsparse fs and skipping the read. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

minixfs: limit minixfs printks on corrupted dir i_size (CVE-2006-6058)

2007-11-16T17:37:00Z

patch f44ec6f3f89889a469773b1fd894f8fcc07c29cf upstream. This attempts to address CVE-2006-6058 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6058 first reported at http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-17-11-2006.html Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large i_size will loop for a very long time in minix_readdir, minix_find_entry, etc, because on EIO they just move on to try the next page. This is under the BKL, printk-storming as well. This can lock up the machine for a very long time. Simply ratelimiting the printks gets things back under control. Make the message a bit more informative while we're here.

ACPI: suspend: Wrong order of GPE restore. acpi_leave_sleep_state() should have correct list of wake and runtime GPEs, which is available only after disable_wakeup_device() is called.

libata: backport ATA_FLAG_NO_SRST and ATA_FLAG_ASSUME_ATA, part 2

2007-11-16T17:30:25Z

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there. P5W-DH Deluxe has ICH7R which doesn't have PMP support but SIMG 4726 hardwired to the second port of AHCI controller at PCI device 1f.2. The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do hardware RAID on downstream ports. When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot. This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY. This workaround fixes bugzilla #8923. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

libata: backport ATA_FLAG_NO_SRST and ATA_FLAG_ASSUME_ATA

2007-11-16T17:30:25Z

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there. Backport ATA_FLAG_NO_SRST and ATA_FLAG_ASSUME_ATA. These are originally link flags (ATA_LFLAG_*) but link abstraction doesn't exist on 2.6.23, so make it port flags. This is for the following workaround for ASUS P5W DH Deluxe. These new flags don't introduce any behavior change unless set and nobody sets them yet. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
