2007-08-25[PATCH] CPUFREQ: ondemand: fix tickless accounting and software coordination bugVenki Pallipadi
With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less amount of time than it actually is. This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a round about way (total time - busy time). Thanks to Arjan for originally reporting the ondemand bug on Lenovo T61.

2007-08-25[PATCH] stifb: detect cards in double buffer mode more reliablyHelge Deller
Visualize-EG, Graffiti and A4450A graphics cards on PARISC can be configured in double-buffer and standard mode, but the stifb driver supports standard mode only. This patch detects double-buffered cards more reliable. It is a real bugfix for a very nasty problem for all parisc users which have wrongly configured their graphic card. The problem: The stifb graphics driver will not detect that the card is wrongly configured and then nevertheless just enables the graphics mode, which it shouldn't. In the end, the user will see no further updates / boot messages on the screen. We had documented this problem already on our FAQ (http://parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#viseg "Why do I get corrupted graphics with my Vis-EG/Graffiti/A4450A card?") but people still run into this problem. So having this fix in as early as possible can help us.

2007-08-25[PATCH] nfsd: fix possible read-ahead cache and export table corruptionJ. Bruce Fields
The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization code). It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit fce1456a19f5c08b688c29f00ef90fdfa074c79b ("knfsd: make the readahead params cache SMP-friendly").

2007-08-25[PATCH] Fix user struct leakage with locked IPC shem segmentPavel Emelianov
When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct: == ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() == ... err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user); if (!err) { shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED; shp->mlock_user = user; } ... == Other results of this are: 1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed memory when the task dies. 2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs. The exploit looks like this: == id = shmget(...); setresuid(uid, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); == My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the segment's user.

2007-08-25[PATCH] splice: fix double page unlockJens Axboe
If add_to_page_cache_lru() fails, the page will not be locked. But splice jumps to an error path that does a page release and unlock, causing a BUG() in unlock_page(). Fix this by adding one more label that just releases the page. This bug was actually triggered on EL5 by gurudas pai <gurudas.pai@oracle.com> using fio.

2007-08-25[PATCH] V4L: Add check for valid control ID to v4l2_ctrl_nextHans Verkuil
If v4l2_ctrl_next is called without the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL then it should check whether the passed control ID is valid and return 0 if it isn't. Otherwise a for-loop over the control IDs will never end.

2007-08-25[PATCH] aacraid: fix security holeAlan Cox
On the SCSI layer ioctl path there is no implicit permissions check for ioctls (and indeed other drivers implement unprivileged ioctls). aacraid however allows all sorts of very admin only things to be done so should check.

2007-08-25[PATCH] USB: fix warning caused by autosuspend counter going negativeAlan Stern
This patch (as937) fixes a minor bug in the autosuspend usage-counting code. Each hub's usage counter keeps track of the number of unsuspended children. However the current driver increments the counter after registering a new child, by which time the child may already have been suspended and caused the counter to go negative. The obvious solution is to increment the counter before registering the child.

2007-08-25[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Reliably detect if SVM was disabled by BIOSJoerg Roedel
This patch adds an implementation to the svm is_disabled function to detect reliably if the BIOS disabled the SVM feature in the CPU. This fixes the issues with kernel panics when loading the kvm-amd module on machines where SVM is available but disabled.
