logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
LogFS sets PG_private flag to indicate a pined page. We assumed that
marking a page as private is enough to ensure its existence. But
instead it is necessary to hold a reference count to the page.
The change resolves the following BUG
BUG: Bad page state in process flush-253:16 pfn:6a6d0

The call to "schedule_work()" in rtc_initialize_alarm() happens too
early, and can cause oopses at bootup
Neil Brown explains why we do it:
"If you set an alarm in the future, then shutdown and boot again after
that time, then you will end up with a timer_queue node which is in
the past.
When this happens the queue gets stuck. That entry-in-the-past won't
get removed until and interrupt happens and an interrupt won't happen
because the RTC only triggers an interrupt when the alarm is "now".
So you'll find that e.g. "hwclock" will always tell you that
'select' timed out.
So we force the interrupt work to happen at the start just in case."
and has a patch that convert it to do things in-process rather than with
the worker thread, but right now it's too late to play around with this,
so we just revert the patch that caused problems for now.

It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in

security: Fix security_old_inode_init_security() when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set
Commit 1e39f384bb01 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version

not set.
But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that
security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len

In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all:
Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem,

But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure
called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page
table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from
filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount.

vfs: fix handling of lock allocation failure in lease-break case
Bruce Fields notes that commit 778fc546f749 ("locks: fix tracking of
inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer
dereference on failure to allocate memory. locks_conflict() will
dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer.
This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease
applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running)
could crash if a kmalloc() fails.
So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just
check the allocation failure early. That makes the code more
straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.

Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set

This is broken in several ways:
- if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
- live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
breaking it
- guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.
Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.

DMA, which could prevent the driver from sending more requests if it
didn't guess correctly.
Since Linux 2.6.36 the writeback code has introduces various measures for
live lock prevention during sync(). Unfortunately some of these are
actively harmful for the XFS model, where the inode gets marked dirty for
metadata from the data I/O handler.
The older_than_this checks that are now more strictly enforced since
by only calling into __writeback_inodes_sb and thus only sampling the
current cut off time once. But on a slow enough devices the previous
asynchronous sync pass might not have fully completed yet, and thus XFS
might mark metadata dirty only after that sampling of the cut off time for
the blocking pass already happened. I have not myself reproduced this
myself on a real system, but by introducing artificial delay into the
XFS I/O completion workqueues it can be reproduced easily.
Fix this by iterating over all XFS inodes in ->sync_fs and log all that
are dirty. This might log inode that only got redirtied after the
previous pass, but given how cheap delayed logging of inodes is it
isn't a major concern for performance.

is skipped. With delayed logging and a workload that has very little log
traffic otherwise it is very likely that an inode that gets constantly
written to is always pinned, and thus we keep refusing to write it. The VM
writeback code at that point redirties it and doesn't try to write it again
for another 30 seconds. This means under certain scenarious time based
metadata writeback never happens.

This seems the correct way to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.

ARM: 7196/1: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 720789
Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.
The workaround for erratum 720789 only affects a code path which is
not active in UP kernels; hence it should be safe to turn on in UP
kernels, without penalty.
This patch simply removes the extra dependency on SMP from Kconfig.

"! --connbytes 23:42" should match if the packet/byte count is not in range.
As there is no explict "invert match" toggle in the match structure,
userspace swaps the from and to arguments
(i.e., as if "--connbytes 42:23" were given).
However, "what <= 23 && what >= 42" will always be false.
Change things so we use "||" in case "from" is larger than "to".
This change may look like it breaks backwards compatibility when "to" is 0.
However, older iptables binaries will refuse "connbytes 42:0",
and current releases treat it to mean "! --connbytes 0:42",
so we should be fine.

The problem is appeared after commit 87121ca504, which
introduced oprofile_arch_exit() calls from __init function. Note
that the aforementioned commit has been backported to stable
branches, and the problem is known to be reproduced at least
with 3.0.13 and 3.1.5 kernels.

md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add

md/linear: fix hot-add of devices to linear arrays.
When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add
Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that
might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant.
Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added.
This is a false optimisation.
It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a
subsequent spare might be accepted.
Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.
If we abort early these might not happen properly.
So remove the early abort.
In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

While reshaping a degraded array (as when reshaping a RAID0 by first

which devices are in_sync. In most cases we get it right, but in the
region that is being reshaped we need to treat non-failed devices as
in-sync when we have the data but haven't actually written it out yet.

sparc64: Fix MSIQ HV call ordering in pci_sun4v_msiq_build_irq().
This silently was working for many years and stopped working on
Niagara-T3 machines.
We need to set the MSIQ to VALID before we can set it's state to IDLE.
On Niagara-T3, setting the state to IDLE first was causing HV_EINVAL
errors. The hypervisor documentation says, rather ambiguously, that
the MSIQ must be "initialized" before one can set the state.
I previously understood this to mean merely that a successful setconf()
operation has been performed on the MSIQ, which we have done at this
point. But it seems to also mean that it has been set VALID too.
