      rapidio/tsi721: fix queue wrapping bug in inbound doorbell handler · b24823e6
      Alexandre Bounine authored 
      Fix a bug that causes a kernel panic when the number of received doorbells
is larger than number of entries in the inbound doorbell queue (current
default value = 512).

Another possible indication for this bug is large number of spurious
doorbells reported by tsi721 driver after reaching the queue size maximum.

      memcg: fix mapcount check in move charge code for anonymous page · e6ca7b89
      Naoya Horiguchi authored 
      Currently the charge on shared anonyous pages is supposed not to moved in
task migration.  To implement this, we need to check that mapcount > 1,
instread of > 2.  So this patch fixes it.

      mm: thp: fix BUG on mm->nr_ptes · 1c641e84
      Andrea Arcangeli authored 
      Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...)
in exit_mmap() recently.

Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition:

  "mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus
   page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users
   0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and
   decrement it under page_table_lock.

   Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write
   (with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when
   split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when
   called by add_to_swap().

   It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the
   exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora."

The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make
split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated
pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage.  It was an arbitrary
choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because
they are not used but they're still allocated.

      alpha: fix 32/64-bit bug in futex support · 62aca403

: +        :       "r"(uaddr), "r"((long)(int)oldval), "r"(newval)

: should do the trick.

Michael said:

: This fixes the glibc test suite failures and the pulseaudio related
: crashes, but it does not fix the java compiiler lockups that I was (and
: are still) observing.  That is some other problem.
