commit ebde6f8a upstream. During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.

commit e503f9e4 upstream. This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage. According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register. Signed-off-by:

commit 07f4beb0 upstream. The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode. The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to debug timekeeping related problems in early boot. Put the selection call last. Reported-by:

commit bf26c018 upstream. When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed and thus its breakpoints released. This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing a freed pointer. Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer. Reported-by:

commit 729a6a30 upstream. ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to be contained in a single page; otherwise, it ends up overrunning the first page. This is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for each sector is always contained in a single page. This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the problem and causing oops. This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which case the alignment wouldn't be enough. Signed-off-by:

commit c6914a6f upstream. We can get here with a NULL socket argument passed from userspace, so we need to handle it accordingly. Signed-off-by:

commit 1574dff8 upstream. An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no write permissions will fail with EACCES. A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory. The patch adds a conditional statement to check for create permissions only if the file doesn't exist. Signed-off-by:

commit 22d3243d upstream. The fix in commit 6b4e81db ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m (*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure. Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m". [ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result, callers will be mis-compiled. Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark "*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

commit 6b4e81db upstream. More recent GCC caused the i8k driver to stop working, on Slackware compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't work anymore, meaning the driver didn't load or gave total nonsensical output. As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the *regs variable. Credits to Andi Kleen and Andreas Schwab for providing the fix. Signed-off-by:

commit 0f22072a upstream. When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not bound the nsops argument. A sufficiently large value will cause an integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data into the allocated buffer. Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM. Untested.

In the buggy seqpacket case we were allowing unconnected sockets to call recvmsg and try to receive the pseudo packet. That is always wrong and as of commit 7361c36c the pseudo packet had become enough different from a normal packet that the kernel started oopsing. Do for seqpacket_recv what was done for seqpacket_send in 2.5 and only allow it on connected seqpacket sockets. Tested-by:

commit e20a2d20 upstream. Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum 400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80a ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups. Reported-by:

commit cee6a262 upstream. This patch (as1460) fixes a regression in the usbip driver caused by the new check for Transaction Translators in USB-2 hubs. The root hub registered by vhci_hcd needs to have the has_tt flag set, because it can connect to low- and full-speed devices as well as high-speed devices. Signed-off-by:
