hda: packet command error: error=3D0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }

This happens when a "start stop unit" command (0x1b 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0)
is sent to the drive to try to close the CD-ROM tray, but this drive
doesn't have that capability (it's a slim portable-type CD-ROM), so it
reports sense key 5 (illegal request) with asc/ascq 24/0.  This is
exactly how SFF8090i says it should respond.

But ide-cd.c (in cdrom_decode_status() ) just sees sense key 5 and spews
out an error.  It then goes on to request sense data, and
cdrom_log_sense() understands this error and doesn't log it.

The patch, for kernel 2.6.20.4, suppresses this error message.

17 years agoide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was already handled

ide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was already handled

It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the
request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that
the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a
request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request
(thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler).

A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and
run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because
ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active.

To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets
incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that
we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry
function.

Jean Delvare [Thu, 5 Apr 2007 06:52:46 +0000 (23:52 -0700)]
[APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash

When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.

This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:

<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----

  XX XX XX XX XX XX  # Destination MAC
  00 00 00 00 00 00  # Source MAC
  00 1D              # Length

# LLC header -----

  AA AA 03
  08 00 07 80 9B  # Appletalk

# Appletalk header -----

  00 1B        # Packet length (invalid)
  00 01        # Fake checksum
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source networks
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source nodes and ports

# Payload -----

  0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13
  14
}

The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.

The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
  suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
  local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
  to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.

The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.

This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.

Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

results in a hang at boot.  I was not able to reproduce this hang w/

implementation bugs that device_rename when called from

[S390] page_mkclean data corruption.

The git commit c2fda5fed81eea077363b285b66eafce20dfd45a which

The effect of the two changes is that for every call to
clear_page_dirty_for_io a page_test_and_clear_dirty is done. If
the per page dirty bit is set set_page_dirty is called. Strangly
clear_page_dirty_for_io is called for not-uptodate pages, e.g.
over this call-chain:

 [<000000000007c0f2>] clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x12a/0x130

 [<000000000007cca2>] pdflush+0x162/0x23c

The bad news now is that page_test_and_clear_dirty might claim
that a not-uptodate page is dirty since SetPageUptodate which
resets the per page dirty bit has not yet been called. The page
writeback that follows clobbers the data on disk.

The simplest solution to this problem is to move the call to
page_test_and_clear_dirty under the "if (page_mapped(page))".
If a file backed page is mapped it is uptodate.

appear to me to be in the wrong order, in that the tf->flags
are uninitialized at the point where tf_read() is invoked.
So for lba48 commands, tf_read() won't be reading back the
full lba48 register contents..

Correct?

[PATCH] msi: synchronously mask and unmask msi-x irqs.

This is a simplified and actually more comprehensive form of a bug
fix from Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>.

When we mask or unmask a msi-x irqs the writes may be posted because
we are writing to memory mapped region.  This means the mask and
unmask don't happen immediately but at some unspecified time in the
future.  Which is out of sync with how the mask/unmask logic work
for ioapic irqs.

The practical result is that we get very subtle and hard to track down
irq migration bugs.

This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for mask
and unmask operations.  Since the SMP affinity is set while the interrupt
is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after, no additional flushes
are required in the various affinity setting routines.

The testing by Mitch Williams on his especially problematic system should
still be valid as I have only simplified the code, not changed the
functionality.

We currently have 7 drivers: cciss, mthca, cxgb3, forceth, s2io,
pcie/portdrv_core, and qla2xxx in 2.6.21 that are affected by this
problem when the hardware they driver is plugged into the right slot.

Given the difficulty of reproducing this bug and tracing it down to
anything that even remotely resembles a cause, even if people are
being affected we aren't likely to see many meaningful bug reports, and
the people who see this bug aren't likely to be able to reproduce this
bug in a timely fashion.  So it is best to get this problem fixed
as soon as we can so people don't have problems.

Then if people do have a kernel message stating "No irq for vector" we
will know it is yet another novel cause that needs a complete new
investigation.

This fixes a regression caused by commit:

2dc611de5a3fd955cd0298c50691d4c05046db97

The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use
alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not
updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total
grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got.
Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up
in the sense buffer.

Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can
end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom.  If
the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued
by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will
spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers
are on sparc64:

default:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name);
__scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd);
scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr);
err = -EIO;

This is the error Tom Callaway reported in:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2

Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK
because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

bytes on a non-aligned offset.  It was missing logic to round the
length to 4 bytes.

The page erase code is also moved so that it is only called when

Dave, we use "int" for returning value,
so we should fix this anyway, IMHO;
we should not allow len > INT_MAX.

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()
are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as
__copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might
sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic()
region.

The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved
during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.

Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.

This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive

ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the

Dmitry points out

"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to
 "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh
 and invoke commit_write untill it.  This is wrong!!  because some bh from
 begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate.  As a result we commit to
 disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."

and

"Unexpected file size increasing."

   Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different.
   For example we have file with i_size is zero.  we want write two blocks ,
   but fs has only one free block.

   ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
     retry:
     ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
     ->ext3_prepare_failure()
       ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
     if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
        goto retry;

   Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
   -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
   help here.

We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.
