Two entries for the same system type were added, with two different vendor names: 'Dell' and 'Dell, Inc.'.

In current implementation for reboot type CF9 and CF9_COND, warm and cold reset are not differentiated, and both are performed by writing 0x06 to port 0xCF9. This commit will differentiate warm and cold reset: For warm reset, write 0x06 to port 0xCF9; For cold reset, write 0x0E to port 0xCF9. [ hpa: This meaning of "cold" and "warm" reset is different from other reboot types use, where "warm" means "bypass BIOS POST". It is also not entirely clear that it actually solves any actual problem. However, it would seem fairly harmless to offer this additional option. Also note that we do not mask bit 3 in the "warm reset" case. This preserves the behavior on existing systems, including ones quirked to use CF9. It seems reasonable that on any system where the warm/cold distinction actually matters that bit 3 would be read as zero. ] From: Liu Chuansheng <chuansheng.liu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Fei <fei.li@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377072837.24556.2.camel@fli24-HP-Compaq-8100-Elite-CMT-PCSigned-off-by: H.

There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the kernel.

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the watchdog is enabled. So far so good. But... But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler? proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback (watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it has been set up. This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious lockup. This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and hrtimers if the threshold value has changed. The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before. It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context. The update from the current CPU should be safe because perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler feet. The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the treshold is decreased).

proc_dowatchdog doesn't synchronize multiple callers which might lead to confusion when two parallel callers might confuse watchdog_enable_all_cpus resp watchdog_disable_all_cpus (eg watchdog gets enabled even if watchdog_thresh was set to 0 already).

Merge bcache fixes from Kent Overstreet: "There's fixes for _three_ different data corruption bugs, all of which were found by users hitting them in the wild. The first one isn't bcache specific - in 3.11 bcache was switched to the bio_copy_data in fs/bio.c, and that's when the bug in that code was discovered, but it's also used by raid1 and pktcdvd. (That was my code too, so the bug's doubly embarassing given that it was or should've been just a cut and paste from bcache code. Dunno what happened there). Most of these (all the non data corruption bugs, actually) were ready before the merge window and have been sitting in Jens' tree, but I don't know what's been up with him lately..." * emailed patches from Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>: bcache: Fix flushes in writeback mode bcache: Fix for handling overlapping extents when reading in a btree node bcache: Fix a shrinker deadlock bcache: Fix a dumb CPU spinning bug in writeback bcache: Fix a flush/fua performance bug bcache: Fix a writeback performance regression bcache: Correct printf()-style format length modifier bcache: Fix for when no journal entries are found bcache: Strip endline when writing the label through sysfs bcache: Fix a dumb journal discard bug block: Fix bio_copy_data()

In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we issue a flush to the backing device. The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush, and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need to send a flush to the backing device. This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.

btree_sort_fixup() was overly clever, because it was trying to avoid pulling a key off the btree iterator in more than one place. This led to a really obscure bug where we'd break early from the loop in btree_sort_fixup() if the current key overlapped with keys in more than one older set, and the next key it overlapped with was zero size.

Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in the keybuf writing it to the backing device. When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes locks that starves foreground IO.
