Thanks Mikael.
Anonymity has some good attributes.
Blame avoidance is one of them.
I've broad shoulders. It's me, then Dwight Howard...
There might be another few of these where ->name or ->dev
was used before struct device or net_device was registered.
I'll go back and check.
tulip_core has:
if (tp->flags & HAS_MEDIA_TABLE) {
sprintf(dev->name, DRV_NAME "%d", board_idx); /* hack */
tulip_parse_eeprom(dev);
strcpy(dev->name, "eth%d"); /* un-hack */
}
So I don't feel _too_ bad.
tulip_parse_eeprom is done before register_netdev so the logging
there can not use netdev_<level> or dev_<level>(&dev->dev

If we are managing IPv6 addresses using DHCP, it would be nice
for user-space to be notified if an address configured through
DHCP fails DAD. Otherwise user-space would have to poll to see
whether DAD succeeds.
This patch uses the existing notification mechanism and simply
hooks it into the DAD failure code path.

While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The
problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334.
v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666.
This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after
a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped
during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().
v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when
unlocking a file.

de957628ce changed setting of the
x86_init.iommu.iommu_init function ptr only when GART IOMMU is
found.
One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges
is not initialized anymore if not explicitly
called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in
<arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>,
for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through
node_to_k8_nb_misc().
Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI
subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization
in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're
running before that.
What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other
places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU
support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained
K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU
which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of
hardware dependency should be
AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD &&
PCI. Make it so Number One!

A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications
to segfault during the test.
Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several
traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer
was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing
this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed
to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench
did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would
trigger the segfault within seconds:
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable
# while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done
Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening
I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI.
1) | copy_user_handle_tail() {
1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() {
1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() {
1) | no_context() {
1) | fixup_exception() {
1) 0.319 us | search_exception_tables();
1) 0.873 us | }
[...]
1) 0.314 us | __rcu_read_unlock();
1) 0.325 us | native_apic_mem_write();
1) 0.943 us | }
1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit();
[...]
1) 0.479 us | find_vma();
1) | bad_area() {
1) | __bad_area() {
After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened
after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI
handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I
found out it was here:
ffffffff8135b660 <page_fault>:
ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp
ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry>
What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page
fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by
the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger
a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is
saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt
the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted.
The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that
each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and
increase the chances of the race happening.
The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context.
After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours
without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less
than a minute.

When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop()
is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace
output.
These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency
buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these
buffers between the two disables:
buffer = global_trace.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
<<<--------- swap happens here
buffer = max_tr.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start()
we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable()
must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer
can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug
where a reset happens while a trace is commiting.
This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent
a switch from occurring.
Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.
