Martin Schwidefsky	b6d09449d5	[PATCH] s390: pfault interrupt race There is a race in pfault_interrupt. That function gets called two times for each pfault notification. Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the page is present again. Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable. It is possible that the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has done the wake_up() call. To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task structure reference counting is needed. Increase the reference counter in the subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the reference after the wake_up call.

[PATCH] s390: pfault interrupt race

There is a race in pfault_interrupt.  That function gets called two times for
each pfault notification.  Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real
page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the
page is present again.

Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the
order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable.  It is possible that
the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has
done the wake_up() call.

To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task
structure reference counting is needed.  Increase the reference counter in the
subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the
reference after the wake_up call.

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption.  This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0.  Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
