      Bug is from arp_solicit(), releasing the neigh lock after arp_send()
      In case of vxlan, we eventually need to write lock a neigh lock later.
      
      Its a false positive, but we can get rid of it without lockdep
      annotations.
      
      We can instead use neigh_ha_snapshot() helper.

      tuntap: dont use a private kmem_cache · 9fdc6bef
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Commit 96442e42 (tuntap: choose the txq based on rxq)
      added a per tun_struct kmem_cache.
      
      As soon as several tun_struct are used, we get an error
      because two caches cannot have same name.
      
      Use the default kmalloc()/kfree_rcu(), as it reduce code
      size and doesn't have performance impact here.

      net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcount · 30e6c9fa
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Using a seqlock for devnet_rename_seq is not a good idea,
      as device_rename() can sleep.
      
      As we hold RTNL, we dont need a protection for writers,
      and only need a seqcount so that readers can catch a change done
      by a writer.

      Once skb_realloc_headroom() is called, tiph might point to freed memory.
      
      Cache tiph->ttl value before the reallocation, to avoid unexpected

      ip_gre: make ipgre_tunnel_xmit() not parse network header as IP unconditionally · 412ed947
      Isaku Yamahata authored
      ipgre_tunnel_xmit() parses network header as IP unconditionally.
      But transmitting packets are not always IP packet. For example such packet
      can be sent by packet socket with sockaddr_ll.sll_protocol set.
      So make the function check if skb->protocol is IP.

      NFS: Kill fscache warnings when mounting without -ofsc · c4271c6e
      Trond Myklebust authored
      The fscache code will currently bleat a "non-unique superblock keys"
      warning even if the user is mounting without the 'fsc' option.
      
      There should be no reason to even initialise the superblock cache cookie
      unless we're planning on using fscache for something, so ensure that we
      check for the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag before calling into the fscache
      code.

      Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
       "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system.  By
        switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
        hold the lock across things like iput().  This fixes a problem
        involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
        by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.
      
        This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
        broken since about 2.6.32."
      
      Ugh.  I *hate* the timing of this.  It was rebased after the merge
      window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
      before the merge window closes.  That's just crap.  But apparently the
      patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
      dust, so now it's suddenly critical.
      
      Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen

      do_sendfile() in fs/read_write.c does not call the fsnotify functions,

      SGI-XP: handle non-fatal traps · 891348ca
      Robin Holt authored
      We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap.  That trap
      would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down
      due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received.
      
      This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into
      xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel
      which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very
      large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the
      end of the deactivate.
      
      I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code
      to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead
      to a system to continue on to call die().

      linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors · c4e18497
      Guenter Roeck authored
      Commit 263a523d ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
      change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
      change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
      
      Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
      divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
      example, -10 / 5U = 858993457).  The C standard says "If one operand has
      unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
      the compiler is not to blame.  As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
      similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
      of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
      account.
      
      Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
      operation to perform.  This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
      returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
      Mark the latter case as unsupported.
      
      One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
      a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.
      
      Other impact is unpredictable.  Problem is seen if the divisor is an
      unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

      memcg: don't register hotcpu notifier from ->css_alloc() · 154b454e
      Tejun Heo authored
      Commit 648bb56d ("cgroup: lock cgroup_mutex in cgroup_init_subsys()")
      made cgroup_init_subsys() grab cgroup_mutex before invoking
      ->css_alloc() for the root css.  Because memcg registers hotcpu notifier
      from ->css_alloc() for the root css, this introduced circular locking
      dependency between cgroup_mutex and cpu hotplug.
      
      Fix it by moving hotcpu notifier registration to a subsys initcall.

      revert "rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver" · 5abe257a
      Andrew Morton authored
      Revert commit 2830a6d2.
      
      We already perform the ida_simple_remove() in rtc_device_release(),
      which is an appropriate place.  Commit 2830a6d2 ("rtc: recycle id when
      unloading a rtc driver") caused the kernel to emit
      
      	ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated.
      
      warnings when rtc_device_release() tries to release an alread-released
      ID.
      
      Let's restore things to their previous state and then work out why
      Vincent's kernel wasn't calling rtc_device_release() - presumably a bug
      in a specific sub-driver.

      exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack · b66c5984
      Kees Cook authored
      If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
      unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
      into the command line.
      
      Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
      However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
      bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
      binfmt modules.  Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
      binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted.  They leave bprm->interp
      pointing to their local stack.  This means on restart bprm->interp is
      left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
      userspace argv areas.
      
      After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
      the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules.  As
      such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
      
      This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
      bprm->interp.  To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
      value is left as-is.  Only when passing through binfmt_script or
      binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.
      
      For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

      drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists · 9f9c9cbb
      Zhenzhong Duan authored
      The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region
      
      This issue was originally found from an oracle bug.
      One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2.
      
       - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 :
         # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid
         00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531
         # dmidecode | grep -i uuid
         UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531
      
      From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
      network byte order.
      
      So we need to get dmi version to distinguish.  If version is 0.0, the
      real version is taken from the SMBIOS version.  This is part of original
      kernel comment in code.

      mm: fix calculation of dirtyable memory · c8b74c2f
      Sonny Rao authored
      The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of
      dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache.  A bug
      causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned
      number.  This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to
      aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a
      time).  This generally only affects systems with highmem because the
      underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable
      memory.
      
      The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd4
      
      Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or
      global dirtyable memory.
