[Linux-stable-mirror] + z3fold-use-kref-to-prevent-page-free-compact-race.patch added to -mm tree

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

The patch titled Subject: mm/z3fold.c: use kref to prevent page free/compact race has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is z3fold-use-kref-to-prevent-page-free-compact-race.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/z3fold-use-kref-to-prevent-page-fr… and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/z3fold-use-kref-to-prevent-page-fr… Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vitaly Wool <vitalywool(a)gmail.com> Subject: mm/z3fold.c: use kref to prevent page free/compact race There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact() called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies its contents. The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH] bio: ensure __bio_clone_fast copies bi_partno

by Michael Lyle

A new field was introduced in 74d46992e0d9dee7f1f376de0d56d31614c8a17a, bi_partno, instead of using bdev->bd_contains and encoding the partition information in the bi_bdev field. __bio_clone_fast was changed to copy the disk information, but not the partition information. At minimum, this regressed bcache and caused data corruption.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH 0/7] [RESEND] [net] intel: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends

by Brian King

Resending as the first attempt is not showing up in the list archive. This patch converts several network drivers to use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends. The initial issue was discovered with ixgbe on a Power machine which resulted in skb list corruption due to fetching a stale skb pointer. More details can be found in the ixgbe patch description.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH] omapdrm: hdmi4: Correct the SoC revision matching

by Peter Ujfalusi

I believe the intention of the commit 2c9fc9bf45f8 ("drm: omapdrm: Move FEAT_HDMI_* features to hdmi4 driver") was to identify omap4430 ES1.x, omap4430 ES2.x and other OMAP4 revisions, like omap4460. By using family=OMAP4 in the match the code will treat omap4460 ES1.x in a same way as it would treat omap4430 ES1.x This breaks HDMI audio on OMAP4460 devices (PandaES for example). Correct the match rule so we are not going to get false positive match.

Fix child-node lookup during initialisation, which ended up searching the whole device tree depth-first starting at the parent rather than just matching on its children.

As I already handled that in the merge of the second patch, the first one is not needed, and the end result should be the same. So all is good. Or at least I think so, someone verifying I got this all right would be appreciated :) thanks, greg k-h

Thanks! > > julia I just started noticing the AUTOSEL tags yesterday and I think that's a great idea to tag patches, but was there any thought to also putting something in the commit message this way they're easily identifiable in the git logs? I think it would be useful if there was some metadata in the commit message which identified that it was selected through some automated system. That way if I find a regression and it identifies one of these commits I can know that maybe it was chosen incorrectly, and also would allow me to alert the owner of the selection script to better help refine its selection process. Otherwise I'd have to track back through the mailing lists to see how it landed in the stable release. Just a thought. Also, thank you for trying to improve the stable kernels! -- Josh
