There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.
During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.
i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In
my case it would look like this:
CPU0 CPU1
unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode()
reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC
reg -> inode->i_state
Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.
After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").
Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in
2.6.28.

Unfortunately, Linux Foundation funding for my work on
man-pages/testing/doc under the auspices of the LF documentation
fellowship unfortunately ran out a short while ago (after earlier attempts
to seek funding, only Google stepped forward with a bit of further funding
for the position), so the patch below acknowledges something closer to
reality.
Unfortunately, there will (probably very) soon be a further downgrade from
"Maintained" to "Odd Fixes" or "Orphan", unless some funding miracle
occurs. So, if anyone is looking to become man-pages maintainer, there
may soon be an opening (okay, don't trample me in the rush ;-).)

It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).
This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$
The problem is the following:
PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).
This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

The current use of these macros works well when the conversion is
entirely linear. In this case, we can be assured that the following
holds true:
__va(p + s) - s = __va(p)
However, this is not always the case, especially when there is a
non-linear conversion (eg, when there is a 3.5GB hole in memory.)
In this case, if 's' is the size of the region (eg, PAGE_SIZE) and
'p' is the final page, the above is most definitely not true.
So, we must ensure that __va() and __pa() are only used with valid
kernel direct mapped RAM addresses. This patch tweaks the code
to achieve this.

Commit 47a8b0cc (Enable PCIe AER only after checking firmware
support) wants to walk the PCI bus in the remove path to disable
AER, and calls pci_walk_bus for downstream bridges.
Unfortunately, in the remove path, we remove devices and bridges
in a depth-first manner, starting with the furthest downstream
bridge and working our way backwards.
The furthest downstream bridges will not have a dev->subordinate,
and we hit a NULL deref in pci_walk_bus.
Check for dev->subordinate first before attempting to walk the
PCI hierarchy below us.

This patch is intended to disable L0s ASPM link state for 82598 (ixgbe)
parts due to the fact that it is possible to corrupt TX data when coming
back out of L0s on some systems. The workaround had been added for 82575
(igb) previously, but did not use the ASPM api. This quirk uses the ASPM
api to prevent the ASPM subsystem from re-enabling the L0s state.
Instead of adding the fix in igb to the ixgbe driver as well it was
decided to move it into a pci quirk. It is necessary to move the fix out
of the driver and into a pci quirk in order to prevent the issue from
occuring prior to driver load to handle the possibility of the device being
passed to a VM via direct assignment.

The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption. This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available. This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.
This patch does a number of things. It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption. It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.
Here're some VR5500A spec notes:
* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.
* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected. In other words,
if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
even when interrupts are internally asserted.
Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
insn is in the branch delay slot. The operation is also undefined
if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.
* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.
With these changes, it boots fine.
