wq_numa_init() builds per-node cpumasks which are later used to make unbound workqueues NUMA-aware. The cpumasks are allocated using alloc_cpumask_var_node() for all possible nodes. Unfortunately, on machines with off-line nodes, this leads to NUMA-aware allocations on existing bug offline nodes, which in turn triggers BUG in the memory allocation code. Fix it by using NUMA_NO_NODE for cpumask allocations for offline nodes. kernel BUG at include/linux/gfp.h:323! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.9.0+ #1 Hardware name: ProLiant BL465c G7, BIOS A19 12/10/2011 task: ffff880234608000 ti: ffff880234602000 task.ti: ffff880234602000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8117495d>] [<ffffffff8117495d>] new_slab+0x2ad/0x340 RSP: 0000:ffff880234603bf8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880237404b40 RCX: 00000000000000d0 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000003 RDI: 00000000002052d0 RBP: ffff880234603c28 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffffffff812e3aa8 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffff8802378161c0 R14: 0000000000030027 R15: 00000000000040d0 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880237800000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffff88043fdff000 CR3: 00000000018d5000 CR4: 00000000000007f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff880234603c28 0000000000000001 00000000000000d0 ffff8802378161c0 ffff880237404b40 ffff880237404b40 ffff880234603d28 ffffffff815edba1 ffff880237816140 0000000000000000 ffff88023740e1c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff815edba1>] __slab_alloc+0x330/0x4f2 [<ffffffff81174b25>] kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xa5/0x200 [<ffffffff812e3aa8>] alloc_cpumask_var_node+0x28/0x90 [<ffffffff81a0bdb3>] wq_numa_init+0x10d/0x1be [<ffffffff81a0bec8>] init_workqueues+0x64/0x341 [<ffffffff810002ea>] do_one_initcall+0xea/0x1a0 [<ffffffff819f1f31>] kernel_init_freeable+0xb7/0x1ec [<ffffffff815d50de>] kernel_init+0xe/0xf0 [<ffffffff815ff89c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: 45 84 ac 00 00 00 f0 41 80 4d 00 40 e9 f6 fe ff ff 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 e8 eb 4b ff ff 49 89 c5 e9 05 fe ff ff <0f> 0b 4c 8b 73 38 44 89 ff 81 cf 00 00 20 00 4c 89 f6 48 c1 ee Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-and-Tested-by: Lingzhu Xiang <lxiang@redhat.com>

Commit 8425e3d5 ("workqueue: inline trivial wrappers") changed schedule_work() and schedule_delayed_work() to inline wrappers, but these rely on some symbols that are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, while the original functions were EXPORT_SYMBOL. This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for these functions and making them unavailable to non GPL modules. Make them available again by removing the restriction on the required symbols. Signed-off-by: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@your-file-system.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

When we fail to mutex_trylock(), we release the pool spin_lock and do mutex_lock(). After that, we should regrab the pool spin_lock, but, regrabbing is missed in current code. So correct it.

df2d5ae4 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that, for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested state. Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users (fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to garbage by cpu_to_node().

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle: - More work on DT support for various platforms - Various fixes that were to late to make it straight into 3.9 - Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards. - Support for several Ralink SOC families. - Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions. - Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler optimization, even in absence of LTO. - KVM support. While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for virtualization of MIPS32. More KVM work to add support for VZ hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already be merged for 3.11. Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time.

This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in dm-bufio. (it could happen only with large block size, at most PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB). __vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes. However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL. Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and cause a deadlock. This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen. This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

Fix a regression in the calculation of the stripe_width in the dm stripe target which led to incorrect processing of device limits. The stripe_width is the stripe device length divided by the number of stripes. The group of commits in the range f14fa693 ("dm stripe: fix size test") to eb850de6 ("dm stripe: support for non power of 2 chunksize") interfered with each other (a merging error) and led to the stripe_width being set incorrectly to the stripe device length divided by chunk_size * stripe_count. For example, a stripe device's table with: 0 33553920 striped 3 512 ... should result in a stripe_width of 11184640 (33553920 / 3), but due to the bug it was getting set to 21845 (33553920 / (512 * 3)). The impact of this bug is that device topologies that previously worked fine with the stripe target are no longer considered valid. In particular, there is a higher risk of seeing this issue if one of the stripe devices has a 4K logical block size. Resulting in an error message like this: "device-mapper: table: 253:4: len=21845 not aligned to h/w logical block size 4096 of dm-1" The fix is to swap the order of the divisions and to use a temporary variable for the second one, so that width retains the intended value.

This reverts commit affdb62b. The commit introduced a regression with AD codecs where the stream is always clean up. Since the patch is just a minor optimization and reverting the commit fixes the issue, let's just revert it.
