      1) Thanks to Willy Tarreau and Eric Dumazet, we've unlocked a bug that's
         been present in do_tcp_sendpages() since that function was written in
         2002.
      
         When we block to wait for memory we have to unconditionally try and
         push out pending TCP data, otherwise we can block for an unreasonably
         long amount of time.
      
      2) Fix deadlock in e1000, fixes kernel bugzilla 43132

      ACPI / PCI / PM: Fix device PM regression related to D3hot/D3cold · 5c7dd710
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Commit 1cc0c998 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a
      bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of
      acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work
      as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument.
      
      First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to
      __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold
      state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which
      doesn't exist.
      
      Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method
      to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in
      __acpi_bus_set_power().  Also make sure that the explicit_set flag
      for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify
      acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for
      ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist.
      
      Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the
      target state, the function will request a transition to
      ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3.  However,
      ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML
      method is defined for the given device, which is rare.  This causes
      problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put
      into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work
      now.  In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned
      off as a result.
      
      To fix this issue restore the old behavior of
      acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to
      ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or
      PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument.
      
      This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not
      be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state,
      but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to
      restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a
      better solution in the future.

      tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions · bad115cf
      Willy Tarreau authored
      Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844
      "tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp:
      tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing
      massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using
      splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers.
      
      Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the
      problem even more apparent.
      
      The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory
      condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not
      called and the buffers cannot be flushed.
      
      After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all
      and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition
      which previously caused the problem to be permanent.
      
      The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to
      git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced
      with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the
      same issue.
      
      This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport
      to -stable.

      Pull two more target-core updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
       "The first patch addresses a SPC-2 reservations RELEASE bug in a

        same initiator to be able to incorrect release it's own reservation on
        a different SCSI path with enforce_pr_isid=1 operation.  This bug was
        caught by Bernhard Kohl.
      
        The second patch is to address a bug with FILEIO backends where the
        incorrect number of blocks for READ_CAPACITY was being reported after
        an underlying device-mapper block_device size change.  This patch uses
        now i_size_read() in fd_get_blocks() for FILEIO backends with an
        underlying block_device, instead of trying to determine this value at
        setup time during fd_create_virtdevice().  (hch CC'ed)
      
        Both are CC'ed to stable."

      target: Fix bug in handling of FILEIO + block_device resize ops · cd9323fd
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      This patch fixes a bug in the handling of FILEIO w/ underlying block_device
      resize operations where the original fd_dev->fd_dev_size was incorrectly being
      used in fd_get_blocks() for READ_CAPACITY response payloads.
      
      This patch avoids using fd_dev->fd_dev_size for FILEIO devices with
      an underlying block_device, and instead changes fd_get_blocks() to
      get the sector count directly from i_size_read() as recommended by hch.

      ARM: 7419/1: vfp: fix VFP flushing regression on sigreturn path · 56cb2484
      Will Deacon authored
      Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits
      on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a
      signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and
      force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP
      on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating
      that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is
      only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP
      register corruption in userspace since the register values are not
      necessarily those restored from the sigframe.
      
      This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler.
      Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing
      itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the
      handler is essentially a nop.

      ARM: 7418/1: LPAE: fix access flag setup in mem_type_table · 1a3abcf4
      Vitaly Andrianov authored
      A zero value for prot_sect in the memory types table implies that
      section mappings should never be created for the memory type in question.
      This is checked for in alloc_init_section().
      
      With LPAE, we set a bit to mask access flag faults for kernel mappings.
      This breaks the aforementioned (!prot_sect) check in alloc_init_section().
      
      This patch fixes this bug by first checking for a non-zero
      prot_sect before setting the PMD_SECT_AF flag.

      virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule · ec13ee80
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      __napi_schedule might raise softirq but nothing
      causes do_softirq to trigger, so it does not in fact
      run. As a result,
      the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08"
      sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is
      started and we are oom:
      
        ...
        Bringing up loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
        Bringing up interface eth0:
        Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
         done.
        [  OK  ]
        ...
      
      Further, receive queue processing might get delayed
      indefinitely until some interrupt triggers:
      virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately.
      
      One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by
      invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is
      normally called from bh or irq context, this
      seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule
      and enable afterwards.
      
      In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(),
      and works since this function is only used when we are not
      in interrupt context.  It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.
