This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails. This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_ we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region. The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(), and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'. In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in "terminate_walk()". Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case. So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the non-RCU case. Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we actually hit the sequence number failure case.

This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular. I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput() "might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging. However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting case. In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice. Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit 15570086: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug. But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated "lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be safe), let's make forward progress.

This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that. The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes, which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to. More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has hidden bugs. It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens if we race with somebody else deleting the file. Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the costs better. So remove the misleading debug code. The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or not. This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid touching extra cache lines for the common case. So just add another bit for "is this dentry on the LRU". Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream. This makes the profiles look much saner.

The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry. At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead" dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because we have pruned it and it is not valid. Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that verification was successful. That's all somewhat complicated. This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it, and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code. The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used. Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

Pull ARM SoC platform changes from Olof Johansson: "This branch contains mostly additions and changes to platform enablement and SoC-level drivers. Since there's sometimes a dependency on device-tree changes, there's also a fair amount of those in this branch. Pieces worth mentioning are: - Mbus driver for Marvell platforms, allowing kernel configuration and resource allocation of on-chip peripherals. - Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers. - Preparation of MSI support for Marvell platforms. - Addition of new PCI-e host controller driver for Tegra platforms - Some churn caused by sharing of macro names between i.MX 6Q and 6DL platforms in the device tree sources and header files. - Various suspend/PM updates for Tegra, including LP1 support. - Versatile Express support for MCPM, part of big little support. - Allwinner platform support for A20 and A31 SoCs (dual and quad Cortex-A7) - OMAP2+ support for DRA7, a new Cortex-A15-based SoC. The code that touches other architectures are patches moving MSI arch-specific functions over to weak symbols and removal of ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, acked by PCI maintainers" * tag 'soc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (266 commits) tegra-cpuidle: provide stub when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE PCI: tegra: replace devm_request_and_ioremap by devm_ioremap_resource ARM: tegra: Drop ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI and sort list ARM: dts: vf610-twr: enable i2c0 device ARM: dts: i.MX51: Add one more I2C2 pinmux entry ARM: dts: i.MX51: Move pins configuration under "iomuxc" label ARM: dtsi: imx6qdl-sabresd: Add USB OTG vbus pin to pinctrl_hog ARM: dtsi: imx6qdl-sabresd: Add USB host 1 VBUS regulator ARM: dts: imx27-phytec-phycore-som: Enable AUDMUX ARM: dts: i.MX27: Disable AUDMUX in the template ARM: dts: wandboard: Add support for SDIO bcm4329 ARM: i.MX5 clocks: Remove optional clock setup (CKIH1) from i.MX51 template ARM: dts: imx53-qsb: Make USBH1 functional ARM i.MX6Q: dts: Enable I2C1 with EEPROM and PMIC on Phytec phyFLEX-i.MX6 Ouad module ARM i.MX6Q: dts: Enable SPI NOR flash on Phytec phyFLEX-i.MX6 Ouad module ARM: dts: imx6qdl-sabresd: Add touchscreen support ARM: imx: add ocram clock for imx53 ARM: dts: imx: ocram size is different between imx6q and imx6dl ARM: dts: imx27-phytec-phycore-som: Fix regulator settings ARM: dts: i.MX27: Remove clock name from CPU node ...

A recent patch made it possible to bring up the character handle when the device is responsive but not accepting a set-features command. Another recent patch moved the initialization that requires we move where the checks for this condition occur. This patch merges these two ideas so it works much as before.

TCP receive window handling is multi staged. A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf. Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window (about 20 MSS). When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2 This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window() Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order packets. This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery, or proper reordering level detection. Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen. It should be part of the game as in-order packets. In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.
