As described in a previous patch and documented in mm/filemap.h,
copy_from_user_inatomic* shouldn't zero out the tail of the buffer after an
incomplete copy.
This patch implements that change for i386.
For the _nocache version, a new __copy_user_intel_nocache is defined similar
to copy_user_zeroio_intel_nocache, and this is ultimately used for the copy.
For the regular version, __copy_from_user_ll_nozero is defined which uses
__copy_user and __copy_user_intel - the later needs casts to reposition the
__user annotations.
If copy_from_user_atomic is given a constant length of 1, 2, or 4, then we do
still zero the destintion on failure. This didn't seem worth the effort of
fixing as the places where it is used really don't care.

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is
not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing
to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was
there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing
to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an
error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so
causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user
so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out
bytes on failure.
The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places
which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are
very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more
page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption.
The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.
Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures
where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).
This patch:
There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the
buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error
may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they
shouldn't be.
In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data
(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.
Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in
__copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the
tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec
implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that
copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.
This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will
be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.
This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.
After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when
kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".
This includes
- powerpc
- i386
- mips
- sparc

Rework it so that we do one 8192-byte allocation and then a pile of tiny ones,
via alloc_percpu(). This has a much higher chance of success (100% in the

This also has the effect of reducing the memory requirements from NR_CPUS*n to

pdflush is carefully designed to ensure that all wakeups have some
corresponding work to do - if a woken-up pdflush thread discovers that it
hasn't been given any work to do then this is considered an error.
That all broke when swsusp came along - because a timer-delivered wakeup to a
frozen pdflush thread will just get lost. This causes the pdflush thread to
get lost as well: the writeback timer is supposed to be re-armed by pdflush in
process context, but pdflush doesn't execute the callout which does this.
Fix that up by ignoring the return value from try_to_freeze(): jsut proceed,
see if we have any work pending and only go back to sleep if that is not the

This is a patch from Alan that fixes a real ide-cd.c regression causing
bogus "Media Check" failures for perfectly valid Fedora install ISOs, on
certain CD-ROM drives.
This is a forward port to 2.6.16 (from RHEL) of the minimal changes for the
end of media problem. It may not be sufficient for some controllers
(promise notably) and it does not touch the locking so the error path
locking is as horked as in mainstream.
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
I have ported the patch to 2.6.17-rc4 and tested it by provoking
end-of-media IO errors with an unaligned ISO image. Unlike the vanilla
kernel, the patched kernel interpreted the error condition correctly with
512 byte granularity:
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64, ascq=0x00)
The failed "Read 10" packet command was:
"28 00 00 04 fb 78 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262
the unpatched kernel produces an incorrect error dump:
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306088
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306096
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262
I do not have the right type of CD-ROM drive to reproduce the end-of-media
data corruption bug myself, but this same patch in RHEL solved it.

Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.
The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly. Fair enough.
However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.
So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.
Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT.

In both the read and write cases it will return an error if
copy_{from/to}_user faults. However, I let the driver try to read/write as
much as it can just as it normally would , then finally it returns an error
if there was one. This was the most straight forward way to handle the
error , since there isn't a clear way to clean up the buffers on error .
I moved retval in idetape_chrdev_write() down into the actual code blocks
since it's really once used there, and it conflicted with my ret variable.

* reduce code size and its complexity
* some global locks go away
* fix bugs
