Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem.
Some background:
numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.
A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.
NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.
mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.
In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.
Proposed fix:
1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees
that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.
NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be
silently ignored, rather than returning an error.
c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
and remove contextualize_policy().
2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty"
b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask
contains at least one node.
c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty
and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
Return EINVAL.
c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes
3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
policy from mpol_new().
4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this
restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.
[ Patch history:
v1 -> v2:
- Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
- As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h
v2 -> v3:
- As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy(). Looks a little
cleaner. ]

So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

Since the sg chaining patches went in, our current value of 255 for
SG_ALL excites chaining on some drivers which cannot support it (and
would thus oops). Redefine SG_ALL to mean no sg table size
preference, but use the single allocation (non chained) limit. This
also helps for drivers that use it to size an internal table.
We'll do an opt in system later where truly chaining supporting
drivers can define their sg_tablesize to be anything up to
SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_ELEMENTS.

The MegaRAID driver's common management module (megaraid_mm.c) creates a
char device used by the management tool "megarc" from LSI Logic (and
possibly other management tools).
In 2.6 with udev, this device doesn't get created because it is not
registered in sysfs.
I first fixed this by registering a class "megaraid_mm", but realized that
this should probably be moved to misc devices, instead of taking up a char
major. This is because only 1 device is used, even if there are multiple
adapters - the minor is never used (the adapter info is in the ioctl block
sent to the driver, not detected based on the minor number as one might
think). So it is a complete waste to have an entire major taken by this.
So it now uses a misc device which I named "megadev0" (the name that megarc
expects), and has a dynamic minor (previoulsy a dynamic major was used).
I have tested this on my own system with the megarc tool, and it works just
as fine as before (only now the device gets created correctly by udev).

struct asc_dvc_var needs overrun buffer to be placed on an 8 byte
boundary. advansys defines struct asc_dvc_var:
struct asc_dvc_var {
...
uchar overrun_buf[ASC_OVERRUN_BSIZE] __aligned(8);
The problem is that struct asc_dvc_var is placed on
shost->hostdata. So if the hostdata is not on an 8 byte boundary, the
advansys crashes. The hostdata is placed on a sizeof(unsigned long)
boundary so the 8 byte boundary is not garanteed with x86_32.
With 2.6.23 and 2.6.24, the hostdata is on an 8 byte boundary by
chance, but with the current git, it's not.

Since we may not have a pci_dev for the device we need to access, we can't
use pci_read_config_word. But raw_pci_read is an internal implementation
detail; it's better to use the architected pci_bus_read_config_word
interface. Using PCI_DEVFN instead of a mysterious constant helps
reassure everyone that we really do intend to access device 8.

what the write immediately above this is doing -- enabling device 8 to

ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests
...
broke flush requests.
Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not
a very brilliant idea:
- idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait
for it to be completed
- there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue
Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by:
- dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC)
- adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN)
- calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set
(while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage)
[ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather
critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ]
