      NFS4: avoid underflow when converting error to pointer. · 62d98c93
      NeilBrown authored
      In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error
      code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it
      is an 'enum' and hence unsigned.
      
      The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it
      is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling
      ERR_PTR.
      
      On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in
      the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted
      to a pointer.  Subsequent code determines that this is not
      negative, and so  dereferences it with predictable results.
      
      So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR.

      NFS: fix the return value check by using IS_ERR · e8d920c5
      Wei Yongjun authored
      In case of error, the function rpcauth_create() returns ERR_PTR()
      and never returns NULL pointer. The NULL test in the return value
      check should be replaced with IS_ERR().

      SUNRPC: Set alloc_slot for backchannel tcp ops · 84e28a30
      Bryan Schumaker authored
      f39c1bfb (SUNRPC: Fix a UDP transport
      regression) introduced the "alloc_slot" function for xprt operations,
      but never created one for the backchannel operations.  This patch fixes
      a null pointer dereference when mounting NFS over v4.1.

      Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo:
       "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
        BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a

        As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement
        work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and
        the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
        performing manual migration.
      
        While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer
        side.  Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and

      cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU · 6889125b
      Tejun Heo authored
      powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
      cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
      kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
      function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
      still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
      to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
      BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
      fidvid_mutex and sleeps.
      
      It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
      appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
      3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
      instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
      change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
      trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
      contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
      isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
      cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
      me is the case.
      
      stable: ed48ece2 ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using
              system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the
              behavior could be horrible.

      workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq · ed48ece2
      Tejun Heo authored
      The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
      creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
      kthread die on each invocation.
      
      Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
      advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
      which makes it simpler and way more efficient.
      
      stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
              workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
              shouldn't break other existing users.

      md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed. · 6dafab6b
      NeilBrown authored
      It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
      removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
      the integrity of an array.
      Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
      as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.
      
      However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
      transitions sometimes more important.  For example the 'Replacement'
      flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
      to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.
      
      So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
      complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
      or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).
      
      This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
      to data corruption.
      This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
      introduced.

      md/raid5: fix calculate of 'degraded' when a replacement becomes active. · e5c86471
      NeilBrown authored
      When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
      replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
      However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
      the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
      wrong.
      
      So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
      device is faulty.
      
      This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
      confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
      This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

      This reverts commit 895e3c5c.
      
      While this patch seemed like a good idea and did help some workloads,
      it hurts other workloads.
      Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster,
      Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower.
      
      Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential
      writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch
      is definitely negative.  So revert it.

      workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn() · 960bd11b
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
      (CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
      used for anything else.
      
      However, after 25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
      to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
      workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
      CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
      prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

      memory hotplug: fix section info double registration bug · f14851af
      qiuxishi authored
      There may be a bug when registering section info.  For example, on my
      Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so
      other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page
      count will equal to 3.

      mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation · 0ba8f2d5
      Li Haifeng authored
      The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit
      43506fad ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index
      of adjacent buddy lists").  But the page address of higher page's buddy
      was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever.
      IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address
      of higher page's buddy.
      
      Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based
      higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of
      higher page's buddy.

      drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probe · 8dcebaa9
      Kevin Hilman authored
      On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
      programming.  Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
      the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
      assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads.  In
      particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
      disabled until otherwise programmed.
      
      This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
      Overo platforms.  This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
      deep power states.  The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
      second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.
      
      Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
      as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.
      
      Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
      continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

      The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
      write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.
      
      The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will

      Commit c76562b6 ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
      accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an
      unsigned int.  This changes the semantics of the comparison in the
      return statement.
      
      In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
      "size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
      signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
      conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.
      
      Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
      semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
      the same.

      slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node() · 8ba00bb6
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
      it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
      This is a problem in the following situation.  Assume that there is a
      request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
      cache and no node-partial slab.
      
      In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
      called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page.  As the current user is not
      allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
      ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
      checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
      
      Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
      slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects().  In
      new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
      was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page.  We extract one object
      from it and re-deactivate.
      
        "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
      
      As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
      can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
      deactivation frequently.
      
      This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
      account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
      scenario.  Instead, new_slab() is called.

      slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab · 30c29bea
      Mel Gorman authored
      Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
      clear SlabPfmemalloc flag.  This is fine for most swap-over-network use
      cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use.  Unfortunately it
      is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
      page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy.  This patch ensures that
      the head page is always used.
      
      This problem was originally identified by Joonsoo Kim.

      nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown · fded4e09
      Paul Clements authored
      Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
      I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
      network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
      
      There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
      and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
      nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
      never completed or freed.
      
      The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
      the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
      cleared.

      mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug · 05cf9639
      Jianguo Wu authored
      I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
      platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
      will be 0.
      
        #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
      
      Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
      so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
      Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
      This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
      I think it should be:
      
        #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
