==== diff-ms-locks-after-close ====
<div class="change">
Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling

I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.

The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.

SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.

The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.

There are three cases to consider.

One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.

The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.

The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this
degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file. This
lock could block other lock requests.

The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file. This is too long.

The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.

This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock
could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

[http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@1.3332.104.96 http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@1.3332.104.96]

Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race

sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
multi-thread case.

<source lang="c">
Thread 1 Thread 2

sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
</source>

If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.

Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.

This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.

This patch contains a fix for 64-bit DMA capability check in

signature read, it means that the controller has capability to handle
64-bit DMA. Before this patch, the driver blindly claimed the capability without checking with controller.
The issue has been reported by Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru>. Thank you Vasily for the reporting.<br/>

Patch from Alexey:<br/>
[PATCH] leakage of vpid_mapping

Probably this fixes bug #62834.

The problem was that when switching to sparse VPID mappings, we could
have processes with non-virtual pids entered to VE. F.e. it could be
some stuck process from VE setup scripts. In this case we created
useless mapping struct, which was nevere freed, because it referred
to non-virtual pid.

I left a printk() in the code, because we definitely need confirmation
that this event really happens. It does not in my tests: to the moment
I run 400000 checkpoint/restores and 20000 of migrations on VE and I found
no problems, unfortunately.

Patch prepared by Vasily:<br/>
Sources were taken from www.3ware.com.

3w-9xxx driver was updated up to 2.26.4.009 version
Fixed a kmap_atomic() problem that might result in data loss under Linux.
New driver version disables local IRQs while the driver is holding KM_IRQ0. Thisis to prevent an IRQ handler from using those kmap slots while the driver is
using them, which can result in memory corruption.
