      Goldwyn Rodrigues authored 
      While using pacemaker/corosync, the node numbers are generated using IP
address as opposed to serial node number generation.  This may not fit
in a 8-byte string.  Use a bigger string to print the complete node
number.

      memcg: check that kmem_cache has memcg_params before accessing it · 6f6b8951
      Andrey Vagin authored 
      If the system had a few memory groups and all of them were destroyed,
memcg_limited_groups_array_size has non-zero value, but all new caches
are created without memcg_params, because memcg_kmem_enabled() returns
false.

We try to enumirate child caches in a few places and all of them are
potentially dangerous.

For example my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SLAB and it crashed when I
tryed to mount a NFS share after a few experiments with kmemcg.

      drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections · 21ea9f5a
      Russ Anderson authored 
      "cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.

The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes

    if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))

to blow up.  Why is it passing in a bad pfn?

The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times.  sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block.  Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.

      IPC: bugfix for msgrcv with msgtyp < 0 · 368ae537
      Svenning Sørensen authored 
      According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."

Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.

Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.

This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

      timer_list: correct the iterator for timer_list · 84a78a65
      Nathan Zimmer authored 
      Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger.

When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so
not really that small, there was one could get hung trying to read the
file a chunk at a time.

The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that
the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.

      vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure · 98474236
      Waiman Long authored 
      This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.

There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.

This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.

[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
  originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
  goes to me.

  Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
  the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
  intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
  changes.     - Linus ]

      Add new lockref infrastructure reference implementation · 0f8f2aaa
      Waiman Long authored 
      This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
spinlock.

NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
spinlocks.  The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
interfaces.

[ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
  version of the original patch by Waiman.  In order to properly credit
  the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
  end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman.  So
  blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
  introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
  opens.     - Linus ]

      Revert "fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink" · f0cc6ffb
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit bb2314b4.

It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.

It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new.  But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.

We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.
