rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks
Avoid calling into the scheduler while holding core RCU locks. This
allows rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding the runqueue locks,
but only as long as there was no chance of the RCU read-side critical
section having been preempted. (Otherwise, if RCU priority boosting
is enabled, rcu_read_unlock() might call into the scheduler in order to
unboost itself, which might allows self-deadlock on the runqueue locks
within the scheduler.)

rcu: introduce kfree_rcu()
Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure.
These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore
when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the
high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time.
The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue.
Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head
structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head
structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not
allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets
up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than
4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().
If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()
or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the
first 4096 bytes.
Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,
to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().
The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:
call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback);
where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows:
Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being
freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer
to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type
checking.

rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof
Commit d09b62d fixed grace-period synchronization, but left some smp_mb()
invocations in rcu_process_callbacks() that are no longer needed, but
sheer paranoia prevented them from being removed. This commit removes
them and provides a proof of correctness in their absence. It also adds
a memory barrier to rcu_report_qs_rsp() immediately before the update to
rsp->completed in order to handle the theoretical possibility that the
compiler or CPU might move massive quantities of code into a lock-based
critical section. This also proves that the sheer paranoia was not
entirely unjustified, at least from a theoretical point of view.
In addition, the old dyntick-idle synchronization depended on the fact
that grace periods were many milliseconds in duration, so that it could
be assumed that no dyntick-idle CPU could reorder a memory reference
across an entire grace period. Unfortunately for this design, the
addition of expedited grace periods breaks this assumption, which has
the unfortunate side-effect of requiring atomic operations in the
functions that track dyntick-idle state for RCU. (There is some hope
that the algorithms used in user-level RCU might be applied here, but
some work is required to handle the NMIs that user-space applications
can happily ignore. For the short term, better safe than sorry.)
This proof assumes that neither compiler nor CPU will allow a lock
acquisition and release to be reordered, as doing so can result in
deadlock. The proof is as follows:
1. A given CPU declares a quiescent state under the protection of
its leaf rcu_node's lock.
2. If there is more than one level of rcu_node hierarchy, the
last CPU to declare a quiescent state will also acquire the
->lock of the next rcu_node up in the hierarchy, but only
after releasing the lower level's lock. The acquisition of this
lock clearly cannot occur prior to the acquisition of the leaf
node's lock.
3. Step 2 repeats until we reach the root rcu_node structure.
Please note again that only one lock is held at a time through
this process. The acquisition of the root rcu_node's ->lock
must occur after the release of that of the leaf rcu_node.
4. At this point, we set the ->completed field in the rcu_state
structure in rcu_report_qs_rsp(). However, if the rcu_node
hierarchy contains only one rcu_node, then in theory the code
preceding the quiescent state could leak into the critical
section. We therefore precede the update of ->completed with a
memory barrier. All CPUs will therefore agree that any updates
preceding any report of a quiescent state will have happened
before the update of ->completed.
5. Regardless of whether a new grace period is needed, rcu_start_gp()
will propagate the new value of ->completed to all of the leaf
rcu_node structures, under the protection of each rcu_node's ->lock.
If a new grace period is needed immediately, this propagation
will occur in the same critical section that ->completed was
set in, but courtesy of the memory barrier in #4 above, is still
seen to follow any pre-quiescent-state activity.
6. When a given CPU invokes __rcu_process_gp_end(), it becomes
aware of the end of the old grace period and therefore makes
any RCU callbacks that were waiting on that grace period eligible
for invocation.
If this CPU is the same one that detected the end of the grace
period, and if there is but a single rcu_node in the hierarchy,
we will still be in the single critical section. In this case,
the memory barrier in step #4 guarantees that all callbacks will
be seen to execute after each CPU's quiescent state.
On the other hand, if this is a different CPU, it will acquire
the leaf rcu_node's ->lock, and will again be serialized after
each CPU's quiescent state for the old grace period.
On the strength of this proof, this commit therefore removes the memory
barriers from rcu_process_callbacks() and adds one to rcu_report_qs_rsp().
The effect is to reduce the number of memory barriers by one and to
reduce the frequency of execution from about once per scheduling tick
per CPU to once per grace period.

tg3 is supposed to enable WoL by default on adapters which support
that, but it fails to do so unless the adapter's
/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file contains 'enabled' during the
initialization of the adapter. Fix that by making tg3 use
device_set_wakeup_enable() to enable wakeup automatically whenever
WoL should be enabled by default.

xen: mask_rw_pte mark RO all pagetable pages up to pgt_buf_top
mask_rw_pte is currently checking if a pfn is a pagetable page if it
falls in the range pgt_buf_start - pgt_buf_end but that is incorrect
because pgt_buf_end is a moving target: pgt_buf_top is the real

The reason is that at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach
the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal
memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping
as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are
in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be
mapped RO and everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_
the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would
call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that).
Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start,
end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping
is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save
away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top].
When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end
PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called),
we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top.
And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones
so that we can redo this on the next pagetable.

UBIFS: seek journal heads to the latest bud in replay
This is the second fix of the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
which sometimes happens after power cuts when we mount the file-system - UBIFS
refuses it with the above error message which comes from the
'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function. I can reproduce this using the integck test
with the UBIFS power cut emulation enabled.
Analysis of the problem.
Currently UBIFS replay seeks the journal heads to the last _replayed_ bud.
But the buds are replayed out-of-order, so the replay basically seeks journal
heads to the "random" bud belonging to this head, and not to the _last_ one.
The result of this is that the GC head may be seeked to a full LEB with no free
space, or very little free space. And 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' tries to find a
fully or mostly dirty LEB to match the current GC head (because we need to
garbage-collect that dirty LEB at one go, because we do not have @c->gc_lnum).
So 'ubifs_find_dirty_leb()' fails and we fall back to finding an empty LEB and
also fail. As a result - recovery fails and mounting fails.
This patch teaches the replay to initialize the GC heads exactly to the latest
buds, i.e. the buds which have the largest sequence number in corresponding
log reference nodes.
Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is
re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it
does not allocate write-buffers as well.
This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications
in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are
that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount
it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints:
UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
Analysis of the problem.
When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but
when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not
allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the
same file-system but for the following 2 cases:
1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover
2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery
In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter
case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not
try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just
try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail.
On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB
(@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting.
Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate
write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3
of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is
about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O.
[1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads
to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads
before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately.

The bug was that unix domain sockets use a pseduo packet for
connecting and accept uses that psudo packet to get the socket.
In the buggy seqpacket case we were allowing unconnected
sockets to call recvmsg and try to receive the pseudo packet.
That is always wrong and as of commit 7361c36c5 the pseudo
packet had become enough different from a normal packet
that the kernel started oopsing.
Do for seqpacket_recv what was done for seqpacket_send in 2.5
and only allow it on connected seqpacket sockets.

x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()
numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and
high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones. However, the
emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test. If the
start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails
the equality test and doesn't get discarded.
The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a
NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to
WARN_ON()s and other funnies. The bug was discovered in devel
branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init. If a
node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than
the node triggering this problem.
The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible
with broken hardware e820/NUMA info. As the fix is very low
risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit.

It occured during some stress testing, in which the reporter was repeatedly
removing and modprobing the bnx2 module while doing various other random
operations on the bnx2 registered net device. Noting that this error occured on
a serdes based device, we noted that there were a few ethtool operations (most
notably self_test and set_phys_id) that have execution paths that lead into
bnx2_setup_serdes_phy. This function is notable because it executes a mod_timer
call, which starts the bp->timer running. Currently bnx2 is setup to assume
that this timer only nees to be stopped when bnx2_close or bnx2_suspend is
called. Since the above ethtool operations are not gated on the net device
having been opened however, that assumption is incorrect, and can lead to the
timer still running after the module has been removed, leading to the oops above
(as well as other simmilar oopses).
Fix the problem by ensuring that the timer is stopped when pci_device_unregister
is called.
