"*(p + 1)" and "len" are the same thing. For reviewers who don't know that, then this code is worrying because we cap "len", but pass "*(p + 1)" to memcpy().

The obd_ioctl_getdata() function caps "data->ioc_len" at OBD_MAX_IOCTL_BUFFER and then calls this obd_ioctl_is_invalid() to check that the other values inside data are valid. There are several lengths inside data but when they are added together they must not be larger than "data->ioc_len". The checks against "(data->ioc_inllen1 > (1<<30))" are supposed to ensure that the addition does not have an integer overflow. But "(1<<30) * 4" actually can overflow 32 bits, so the checks are insufficient. I have changed it to "> OBD_MAX_IOCTL_BUFFER" instead.

Will Deacon authored
The asm-generic, big-endian version of zero_bytemask creates a mask of bytes preceding the first zero-byte by left shifting ~0ul based on the position of the first zero byte. Unfortunately, if the first (top) byte is zero, the output of prep_zero_mask has only the top bit set, resulting in undefined C behaviour as we shift left by an amount equal to the width of the type. As it happens, GCC doesn't manage to spot this through the call to fls(), but the issue remains if architectures choose to implement their shift instructions differently. An example would be arch/arm/ (AArch32), where LSL Rd, Rn, #32 results in Rd == 0x0, whilst on arch/arm64 (AArch64) LSL Xd, Xn, #64 results in Xd == Xn. Rather than check explicitly for the problematic shift, this patch adds an extra shift by 1, replacing fls with __fls. Since zero_bytemask is never called with a zero argument (has_zero() is used to check the data first), we don't need to worry about calling __fls(0), which is undefined.

This merges the patch to fix possible loss of dirty bit on munmap() or madvice(DONTNEED). If there are concurrent writers on other CPU's that have the unmapped/unneeded page in their TLBs, their writes to the page could possibly get lost if a third CPU raced with the TLB flush and did a page_mkclean() before the page was fully written. Admittedly, if you unmap() or madvice(DONTNEED) an area _while_ another thread is still busy writing to it, you deserve all the lost writes you could get. But we kernel people hold ourselves to higher quality standards than "crazy people deserve to lose", because, well, we've seen people do all kinds of crazy things. So let's get it right, just because we can, and we don't have to worry about it. * safe-dirty-tlb-flush: mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A slighlty large fix for a subtle issue in the CPU hotplug code of certain ARM SoCs, where the not yet online cpu needs to setup the cpu local timer and needs to set the interrupt affinity to itself. Setting interrupt affinity to a not online cpu is prohibited and therefor the timer interrupt ends up on the wrong cpu, which leads to nasty complications. The SoC folks tried to hack around that in the SoC code in some more than nasty ways. The proper solution is to have a way to enforce the affinity setting to a not online cpu. The core patch to the genirq code provides that facility and the follow up patches make use of it in the GIC interrupt controller and the exynos timer driver. The change to the core code has no implications to existing users, except for the rename of the locked function and therefor the necessary fixup in mips/cavium. Aside of that, no runtime impact is possible, as none of the existing interrupt chips implements anything which depends on the force argument of the irq_set_affinity() callback" * 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: clocksource: Exynos_mct: Register clock event after request_irq() clocksource: Exynos_mct: Use irq_force_affinity() in cpu bringup irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts

The Linux VFS and Lustre OST_SYNC RPC are both capable of specifying fsync() on a sub-extent of the file {start, end} instead of the full file. This allows less than the full amount of data to be flushed, reducing or possibly eliminating the work needed before the syscall can return. However, the handling of sub-extent of the file for fsync was lost with the move to CLIO on the client and OSD API on the server. They were ignoring the passed {start, end} and using {0, OBD_OBJECT_EOF} instead. Return the ability to pass a sub-extent for fsync() from the client, to the specific stripes/OSTs that need the sync operation, and pass it down to the OSD. The ZFS OSD doesn't handle this yet, but there is room for improvement in a separate patch.

In libcfs_debug_vmsg2, cdls_delay is only clamped between the minimum and the maximum when it is increased by multiplying by the backoff factor. It is not clamped when it is decreased by dividing by the backoff factor. This allows it to achieve values less than the minimum, which allows a console message to be printed that should have been skipped. This patch moves the clamping outside of the else statement, ensuring that cdls_delay is always between the min and the max after the first time through libcfs_debug_vmsg2.

This can cause a problem that an using lock is freed, if the process is preempted between atomic_dec_and_test() and (lock->cll_state == CLS_FREEING).

According https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/mutex-design.txt: - the mutex subsystem is slightly faster and has better scalability for contended workloads. In terms of 'ops per CPU cycle', the semaphore kernel performed 551 ops/sec per 1% of CPU time used, while the mutex kernel performed 3825 ops/sec per 1% of CPU time used - it was 6.9 times more efficient. - there are no fastpath tradeoffs, the mutex fastpath is just as tight as the semaphore fastpath. On x86, the locking fastpath is 2 instructions. - 'struct mutex' semantics are well-defined and are enforced if CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is turned on. Semaphores on the other hand have virtually no debugging code or instrumentation. One more benefit of mutex is optimistic spinning. It try to spin for acquisition when there are no pending waiters and the lock owner is currently running on a (different) CPU. The rationale is that if the lock owner is running, it is likely to release the lock soon. This significantly reduce amount of context switches when locked region is small and we have high contention.
