[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

[PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsize
Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for
sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [

sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below:
do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with
the msqid and msgflg.
do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to
the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the
caller.
These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace (

[PATCH] PCEngines WRAP LED Support
A driver for the PCEngines WRAP boards (http://www.pcengines.ch), which are
very similar to the Soekris net4801 (same NS SC1100 geode reference
design).
The LEDs on the WRAP are on different GPIO lines and I have modified and
copied the net48xx error led support for this. It also includes support
for an "extra" led (in addition to error). The three LEDs on the WRAP are
at GPIO lines 2,3,18 (WRAP LEDs from left to right). This driver gives
access to the second and third LEDs by twiddling GPIO lines 3 & 18.
Because these boards are so similar to the net48xx, I basically sed-ed that
driver to form the basis for leds-wrap.c. The only changes from
leds-net48xx.c are:
- #define WRAP_EXTRA_LED_GPIO
- name changes
- duplicate relevant sections to provide support for the "extra" led
- reverse the various *_led_set values. The WRAP is "backwards" from the
net48xx, and these needed to be updated for that.

This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the
block length field is sensible. The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is
intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than
the original source data. Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is

not handled properly.
Several modules failed to deregister various hooks when misc_register fails,
and this patch cleans them up. Also there are a few modules that legitimately
don't care about the failure status of misc register. These drivers however
unilaterally call misc_deregister on module unload.
Since misc_register doesn't initialize the list_head in the init_routine if it
fails, the deregister operation is at risk for oopsing when list_del is
called. The initial solution was to manually init the list in the miscdev
structure in each of those modules, but the consensus in this thread was to
consolodate and do that universally inside misc_register.

nla_put() in taskstat.c can fail only if the 'size' argument of alloc_skb()
was not right. This is a kernel bug, we should not hide it. So add 'BUG()'
on error path and check for 'na == NULL'.

So we can remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).

[PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assembling
Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do:
1) allocate stats
2) fill stats
3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes)
4) copy that copy to skb
5) free stats
With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly,
thus avoiding all these steps except 2).
So, before this patch:
// copy *stats to skb->data
int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats);
fill_pid(stats);
mk_reply(skb, ..., stats);
After:
// return a pointer to skb->data
struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...);
stat = mk_reply(skb, ...);
fill_pid(stats);
Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.
A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the
real user sys
before:
4.02 0.06 3.96
4.02 0.04 3.98
4.02 0.04 3.97
after:
3.86 0.08 3.78
3.88 0.10 3.77
3.89 0.09 3.80

[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exit
The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads
communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can
synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL
stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at
thread exit.
It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due
to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the
dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their
NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of

[PATCH] handle ext4 directory corruption better
I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.

Upon debugging I found that the restart_transaction was not releasing
the path if the th->refcount was > 1.
/*static*/
int restart_transaction(struct reiserfs_transaction_handle *th,
struct inode *inode, struct path *path)
{
[...]
/* we cannot restart while nested */
if (th->t_refcount > 1) { <<- Path is not released in this case!
return 0;
}
pathrelse(path); <<- Path released here.
[...]
This could happen in such a situation :
In reiserfs/inode.c: reiserfs_get_block() ::
if (repeat == NO_DISK_SPACE || repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
/* restart the transaction to give the journal a chance to free
** some blocks. releases the path, so we have to go back to
** research if we succeed on the second try
*/
SB_JOURNAL(inode->i_sb)->j_next_async_flush = 1;
-->> retval = restart_transaction(th, inode, &path); <<--
We are supposed to release the path, no matter we succeed or fail. But
if the th->refcount is > 1, the path is still valid. And,
if (retval)
goto failure;
repeat =
_allocate_block(th, block, inode,
&allocated_block_nr, NULL, create);
If the above allocate_block fails with NO_DISK_SPACE or QUOTA_EXCEEDED,
we would have path which is not released.
if (repeat != NO_DISK_SPACE && repeat != QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
goto research;
}
if (repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED)
retval = -EDQUOT;
else
retval = -ENOSPC;
goto failure;
[...]
failure:
[...]
reiserfs_check_path(&path); << Panics here !
Attached here is a patch which could fix the issue.
fix reiserfs/inode.c : restart_transaction() to release the path in all
cases.
The restart_transaction() doesn't release the path when the the journal
handle has a refcount > 1. This would trigger a reiserfs_panic() if we
encounter an -ENOSPC / -EDQUOT in reiserfs_get_block().
