Now that we can handle larger wsizes in writepages, fix up the
negotiation of the wsize to allow for that. find_get_pages only seems to
give out a max of 256 pages at a time, so that gives us a reasonable
default of 1M for the wsize.
If the server however does not support large writes via POSIX
extensions, then we cap the wsize to (128k - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE). That
gives us a size that goes up to the max frame size specified in RFC1001.
Finally, if CAP_LARGE_WRITE_AND_X isn't set, then further cap it to the
largest size allowed by the protocol (USHRT_MAX).

xfs [stable only]: restart busy extent search after node removal
A user on #xfs reported that a log replay was oopsing in
__rb_rotate_left() with a null pointer deref, and provided
an xfs_metadump image for reproduction and testing.
I traced this down to the fact that in xfs_alloc_busy_insert(),
we erased a node with rb_erase() when the new node overlapped,
but left the erased node specified as the parent node for the
new insertion.
So when we try to insert a new node with an erased node as
its parent, obviously things go very wrong.
Upstream, 97d3ac75e5e0ebf7ca38ae74cebd201c09b97ab2 xfs: exact busy extent tracking
actually fixed this, but as part of a much larger change. Here's
the relevant code from that commit:
* We also need to restart the busy extent search from the
* tree root, because erasing the node can rearrange the
* tree topology.
*/
rb_erase(&busyp->rb_node, &pag->pagb_tree);
busyp->length = 0;
return false;
We can do essentially the same thing to older codebases by restarting
the tree search after the erase.
This should apply to .35.y through .39.y, and was tested on .39
with the oopsing replay reproducer.

Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages. This is all
very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a
large number of pages can be isolated. An "asynchronous" process can
stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that
firefox can stall for 10s of seconds. This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a
hugepage promotion than stall a process.

Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner. When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete. The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.
When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone. Then the following situation
can occurs
o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
migration scanner is already there
o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
moving the free scanner into the next zone
o migration scanner moves into the next zone
When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone. One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate. This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible. The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.

To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.
Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.
Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.
This looks like a regression since commit 08951e545918c159 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").
Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.
Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.

The GFS2 fallocate code chooses a target size to for allocating chunks of
space. Whenever it can't find any resource groups with enough space free, it
halves its target. Since this target is in bytes, eventually it will no longer
be a multiple of blksize. As long as there is more space available in the
resource group than the target, this isn't a problem, since gfs2 will use the
actual space available, which is always a multiple of blksize. However,
when gfs couldn't fallocate a bigger chunk than the target, it was using the
non-blksize aligned number. This caused a BUG in later code that required
blksize aligned offsets. GFS2 now ensures that bytes is always a multiple of
blksize

Unlike CCMP, the presence or absence of the QoS
field doesn't change the encryption, only the
TID is used. When no QoS field is present, zero
is used as the TID value. This means that it is
possible for an attacker to take a QoS packet
with TID 0 and replay it as a non-QoS packet.
Unfortunately, mac80211 uses different IVs for
checking the validity of the packet's TKIP IV
when it checks TID 0 and when it checks non-QoS
packets. This means it is vulnerable to this
replay attack.
To fix this, use the same replay counter for
TID 0 and non-QoS packets by overriding the
rx->queue value to 0 if it is 16 (non-QoS).

During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a
problem occurs.
This seems to happen most with recent sandybridge laptops but it's
probably a co-incidence as some of these laptops just happen to have a
small Normal zone. The reproduction case is almost always during copying
large files that kswapd pegs at 100% CPU until the file is deleted or
cache is dropped.
The problem is mostly down to sleeping_prematurely() keeping kswapd awake
when the highest zone is small and unreclaimable and compounded by the
fact we shrink slabs even when not shrinking zones causing a lot of time
to be spent in shrinkers and a lot of memory to be reclaimed.
Patch 1 corrects sleeping_prematurely to check the zones matching
the classzone_idx instead of all zones.
Patch 2 avoids shrinking slab when we are not shrinking a zone.
Patch 3 notes that sleeping_prematurely is checking lower zones against
a high classzone which is not what allocators or balance_pgdat()
is doing leading to an artifical belief that kswapd should be
still awake.
Patch 4 notes that when balance_pgdat() gives up on a high zone that the
decision is not communicated to sleeping_prematurely()
This problem affects 2.6.38.8 for certain and is expected to affect 2.6.39

problem and if this fixes it.
This patch: correct the check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely()
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour.
A problem occurs if the highest zone is small. balance_pgdat() only
considers unreclaimable zones when priority is DEF_PRIORITY but
sleeping_prematurely considers all zones. It's possible for this sequence
to occur
1. kswapd wakes up and enters balance_pgdat()
2. At DEF_PRIORITY, marks highest zone unreclaimable
3. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, ignores highest zone setting end_zone
4. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, calls shrink_slab freeing memory from
highest zone, clearing all_unreclaimable. Highest zone
is still unbalanced
5. kswapd returns and calls sleeping_prematurely
6. sleeping_prematurely looks at *all* zones, not just the ones
being considered by balance_pgdat. The highest small zone

This patch corrects the behaviour of sleeping_prematurely to check the

Commit e534c5b831c8b8e9f5edee5c8a37753c808b80dc (USB: fix regression
occurring during device removal) didn't go far enough. It failed to
take into account that when a driver claims multiple interfaces, it may
release them all at the same time. As a result, some interfaces can
get released before they are unregistered, and we deadlock trying to
acquire the bandwidth_mutex that we already own.
This patch (asl478) handles this case by setting the "unregistering"
flag on all the interfaces before removing any of them.
Quote from Patric Mc Hardy
"This looks like nfnetlink.c excited and destroyed the nfnl socket, but
ip_vs was still holding a reference to a conntrack. When the conntrack
got destroyed it created a ctnetlink event, causing an oops in
netlink_has_listeners when trying to use the destroyed nfnetlink
socket."
If nf_conntrack_netlink is loaded before ip_vs this is not a problem.
This patch simply avoids calling ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack()
when netns is dying as suggested by Julian.

Revert "KVM: Save/restore state of assigned PCI device"
This reverts ed78661f2614d3c9f69c23e280db3bafdabdf5bb as it assumes
the saved PCI state will remain valid for the entire length of time
that it is attached to a guest. This fails when userspace makes use
of the pci-sysfs reset interface, which invalidates the saved device
state, leaving nothing to be restored after the device is reset on
de-assignment. This leaves the device in an unusable state.
3.0.0 will add an interface for KVM to save the PCI state in a
buffer unaffected by other callers of pci_reset_function(), but the
most appropriate stable fix seems to be reverting this change since
the original assumption about the device saved state persisting is
incorrect.

Avoid creating input routes with ip_route_me_harder.
It does not work for locally generated packets. Instead,
restrict sockets to provide valid saddr for output route (or
unicast saddr for transparent proxy). For other traffic
allow saddr to be unicast or local but if callers forget
to check saddr type use 0 for the output route.
The resulting handling should be:
- REJECT TCP:
- in INPUT we can provide addr_type = RTN_LOCAL but
better allow rejecting traffic delivered with
local route (no IP address => use RTN_UNSPEC to
allow also RTN_UNICAST).
- FORWARD: RTN_UNSPEC => allow RTN_LOCAL/RTN_UNICAST
saddr, add fix to ignore RTN_BROADCAST and RTN_MULTICAST
- OUTPUT: RTN_UNSPEC
- NAT, mangle, ip_queue, nf_ip_reroute: RTN_UNSPEC in LOCAL_OUT
- IPVS:
- use RTN_LOCAL in LOCAL_OUT and FORWARD after SNAT
to restrict saddr to be local

This patch (as1476) fixes a regression introduced by fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 (USB: Free bandwidth when
usb_disable_device is called). usb_disconnect() grabs the
bandwidth_mutex before calling usb_disable_device(), which calls down
indirectly to usb_set_interface(), which tries to acquire the
bandwidth_mutex.
The fix causes usb_set_interface() to return early when it is called
for an interface that has already been unregistered, which is what
happens in usb_disable_device().

This patch (as1465) continues implementation of the policy that errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep.
In this case, failure to turn on the Suspend feature for a hub port
shouldn't be reported as an error. There are situations where this
does actually occur (such as when the device plugged into that port
was disconnected in the recent past), and it turns out to be harmless.
There's no reason for it to prevent a system sleep.
Also, don't allow the hub driver to fail a system suspend if the
downstream ports aren't all suspended. This is also harmless (and
should never happen, given the change mentioned above); printing a
warning message in the kernel log is all we really need to do.

This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors
during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going
to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB
device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding:
Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will
automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying
packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not
worry about them now.)
Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the
system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system
from going to sleep.

If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up
hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically,
if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we
really want to quit instead of retrying.
Secondary CPU bringup typically calls calibrate_delay() during its
initialization. However, calibrate_delay() modifies a global variable
(loops_per_jiffy) used for udelay() and __delay().
A side effect of 71c696b1 ("calibrate: extract fall-back calculation
into own helper") introduced in the 2.6.39 merge window means that we
end up with a substantial period where loops_per_jiffy is zero. This
causes the spinlock debugging code to malfunction:
u64 loops = loops_per_jiffy * HZ;
for (;;) {
for (i = 0; i < loops; i++) {
if (arch_spin_trylock(&lock->raw_lock))
return;
__delay(1);
}
...
}
by never calling arch_spin_trylock() - resulting in the CPU locking
up in an infinite loop inside __spin_lock_debug().
Work around this by only writing to loops_per_jiffy only once we have
completed all the calibration decisions.

Better solutions (such as omitting the calibration for secondary CPUs,
or arranging for calibrate_delay() to return the LPJ value and leave
it to the caller to decide where to store it) are a possibility, but
would be much more invasive into each architecture.
I think this is the best solution for -rc and stable, but it should be
revisited for the next merge window.
Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.
Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.
The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.
One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
We observed the crash point count going negative in cases where the
crash point is hit multiple times before the check of "count == 0" is
done. Because of this we never call lkdtm_do_action(). This patch just
adds a spinlock to protect count.
When an interface changes type to a P2P type,
iwlagn will erroneously set vif->type to the
P2P type and not the reduced/split type. Fix
this by keeping "newtype" in another variable
for the assignment to vif->type.

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.
This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.
This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.
locks_alloc_lock() assumed that the allocated struct file_lock is
already initialized to zero members. This is only true for the first
allocation of the structure, after reuse some of the members will have
random values.
This will for example result in passing random fl_start values to
userspace in fuse for FL_FLOCK locks, which is an information leak at
best.
Fix by reinitializing those members which may be non-zero after freeing.

If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.
We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any

If construct_alloc_key() returns an error, it shouldn't pass out through
the normal path as the key_serial() called by the kleave() statement
will oops when it gets an error code in the pointer:
There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to
attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the
BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if
count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get
to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case,
if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than
alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal.
Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is
an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number
that is used as the number of pages to free.
Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater
than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it.

The PM core doesn't handle suspend failures correctly when it comes to
asynchronously suspended devices. These devices are moved onto the
dpm_suspended_list as soon as the corresponding async thread is
started up, and they remain on the list even if they fail to suspend
or the sleep transition is cancelled before they get suspended. As a
result, when the PM core unwinds the transition, it tries to resume
the devices even though they were never suspended.
This patch (as1474) fixes the problem by adding a new "is_suspended"
flag to dev_pm_info. Devices are resumed only if the flag is set.
[rjw:
* Moved the dev->power.is_suspended check into device_resume(),

(PM: Allow pm_runtime_suspend() to succeed during system suspend) it
is possible that a device resumed by the pm_runtime_resume(dev) in
pci_pm_prepare() will be suspended immediately from a work item,
timer function or otherwise, defeating the very purpose of calling
pm_runtime_resume(dev) from there. To prevent that from happening
it is necessary to increment the runtime PM usage counter of the
device by replacing pm_runtime_resume() with pm_runtime_get_sync().
Moreover, the incremented runtime PM usage counter has to be
decremented by the corresponding pci_pm_complete(), via
pm_runtime_put_sync().

6b4517a791 (block: implement bd_claiming and claiming block)
introduced claiming block to support O_EXCL blkdev opens properly.
bd_start_claiming() looks up the part 0 bdev and starts claiming
block. The function assumed that there is only one part 0 bdev and
always used bdget_disk(disk, 0) to look it up; unfortunately, this
isn't true for some drivers (floppy) which use multiple block devices
to denote different operating parameters for the same physical device.
There can be multiple part 0 bdev's for the same device number.
This incorrect assumption caused the wrong bdev to be used during
claiming leading to unbalanced bd_holders as reported in the following
bug.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28522
This patch updates bd_start_claiming() such that it uses the bdev
specified as argument if its partno is zero.
Note that this means that different bdev's can be used for the same
device and O_EXCL check can be effectively bypassed. It has always
been broken that way and floppy is fortunately on its way out. Leave
that breakage alone.
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold
the lock protecting it around it.
