write{b,w,l,q}_relaxed are implemented by some architectures in order to permit memory-mapped I/O writes with weaker barrier semantics than the non-relaxed variants.

When performing a same-directory rename, it's possible that adding or setting the new directory entry will cause the directory to overflow the inline data area, which causes the directory to be converted to an extent-based directory. Under this circumstance it is necessary to re-read the directory when deleting the old dirent because the "old directory" context still points to i_block in the inode table, which is now an extent tree root! The delete fails with an FS error, and the subsequent fsck complains about incorrect link counts and hardlinked directories. Test case (originally found with flat_dir_test in the metadata_csum test program): # mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/sda # mount /dev/sda /mnt # mkdir /mnt/x # touch /mnt/x/changelog.gz /mnt/x/copyright /mnt/x/README.Debian # sync # for i in /mnt/x/*; do mv $i $i.longer; done # ls -la /mnt/x/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 changelog.gz.longer -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 copyright -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 copyright.longer -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 README.Debian.longer (Hey!

It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the feature flags. Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to determine 64bitness. Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so many pieces. Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in a crash on 32 bit x86 systems. This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c99 "dm crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa0 ("dm crypt: use per-bio data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block. To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request, cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))), struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector. The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size: cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size. When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq + 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1). dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated space. Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it to the allocated size. Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all), so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request). Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.

Commit 43fef47f (mfd: twl4030-power: Add a configuration to turn off oscillator during off-idle) added support for configuring the PMIC to cut off resources during deeper idle states to save power. This however caused regression for n900 display power that needed the PMIC configuration to be disabled with commit d937678a (ARM: dts: Revert enabling of twl configuration for n900). Turns out the root cause of the problem is that we must use TWL4030_RESCONFIG_UNDEF instead of DEV_GRP_NULL to avoid disabling regulators that may have been enabled before the init function for twl4030-power.c runs. With TWL4030_RESCONFIG_UNDEF we let the regulator framework control the regulators like it should. Here we need to only configure the sys_clken and sys_off_mode triggers for the regulators that cannot be done by the regulator framework as it's not running at that point. This allows us to enable the PMIC configuration for n900.

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull trace buffer epoll hang fix from Steven Rostedt: "Josef Bacik found a bug in the ring_buffer_poll_wait() where the condition variable (waiters_pending) was set before being added to the poll queue via poll_wait(). This allowed for a small race window to happen where an event could come in, check the condition variable see it set to true, clear it, and then wake all the waiters. But because the waiter set the variable before adding itself to the queue, the waker could have cleared the variable after it was set and then miss waking it up as it wasn't added to the queue yet. Discussing this bug, we realized that a memory barrier needed to be added too, for the rare case that something polls for a single trace event to happen (and just one, no more to come in), and miss the wakeup due to memory ordering. Ideally, a memory barrier needs to be added on the writer side too, but as that will kill tracing performance and this is for a situation that tracing wasn't even designed for (who traces one instance of an event, use a printk instead!), this isn't worth adding the barrier. But we can in the future add the barrier for when the buffer goes from empty to the first event, as that would cover this case" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: trace: Fix epoll hang when we race with new entries
