ARM: fix bad applied patch for arch/arm/Kconfig of stable 3.0.y tree.
No upstream commit as this is a merge error in the 3.0 tree.
ARM_ERRATA_764369 and PL310_ERRATA_769419 do not appear in config menu in

This is because backported patch for arm/arm/Kconfig applied wrong place.
This patch solves it.
kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left
activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable
watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is
disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer
to be left running on the crash kernel.

If a command status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR is received, this
information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not
dropped on the floor. CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR may be received
from the Smart Array for any commands destined for an external
RAID controller such as a P2000, or commands destined for tape
drives or CD/DVD-ROM drives, if for instance a cable is
disconnected. This mostly affects multipath configurations, as
disconnecting a cable on a non-multipath configuration is not
going to do anything good regardless of whether CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR
is handled correctly or not. Not handling CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR
correctly in a multipath configaration involving external RAID
controllers may cause data corruption, so this is quite a serious
bug. This bug should not normally cause a problem for direct
attached disk storage.

This patch fixes the following kernel panic invoked by uninitialized fields
in the chip initialization for the 1G bnx2 iSCSI offload.
One of the bits in the chip initialization is being used by the latest
firmware to control overflow packets. When this control bit gets enabled
erroneously, it would ultimately result in a bad packet placement which would
cause the bnx2 driver to dereference a NULL ptr in the placement handler.
This can happen under certain stress I/O environment under the Linux
iSCSI offload operation.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
There may be a bug when registering section info. For example, on my
Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so
other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page
count will equal to 3.
Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.

The MCP2515 has a silicon bug causing repeated frame transmission, see section
5 of MCP2515 Rev. B Silicon Errata Revision G (March 2007).
Basically, setting TXBnCTRL.TXREQ in either SPI mode (00 or 11) will eventually
cause the bug. The workaround proposed by Microchip is to use mode 00 and send
a RTS command on the SPI bus to initiate the transmission.
On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
programming. Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads. In
particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
disabled until otherwise programmed.
This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
Overo platforms. This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
deep power states. The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.
Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.
Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a
constant expression.
The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

This is a completely different CONFIG_HOTPLUG problem, only
demonstrating another reason why CONFIG_HOTPLUG should go away. I had a
hard time trying to disable it anyway ;-)
The problem this time is lots of code assuming that a call to
add_uevent_var() will guarantee that env->buflen > 0. This is not true
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is unset. So things like this end up overwriting
env->envp_idx because the array index is -1:
if (add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS="))
return -ENOMEM;
len = input_print_modalias(&env->buf[env->buflen - 1],
sizeof(env->buf) - env->buflen,
dev, 0);
Don't know what the best action is, given that there seem to be a *lot*
of this around the kernel. This patch "fixes" the problem for me, but I
don't know if it can be considered an appropriate fix.
[ It is the correct fix for now, for 3.7 forcing CONFIG_HOTPLUG to
always be on is the longterm fix, but it's too late for 3.6 and older
kernels to resolve this that way - gregkh ]
Since commit 30832ab56 ("mmc: sdhci: Always pass clock request value
zero to set_clock host op") was merged, esdhc_set_clock starts hitting
"if (clock == 0)" where ESDHC_SYSTEM_CONTROL has been operated. This
causes SDHCI card-detection function being broken. Fix the regression
by moving "if (clock == 0)" above ESDHC_SYSTEM_CONTROL operation.
Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for
that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own
instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event
going away and new children getting created for it by use of
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the
latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works
out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are
created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been
created and immediately killed).

This patch fixes a long-standing bug with SCSI overflow handling
where se_cmd->data_length was incorrectly being re-assigned to
the larger CDB extracted allocation length, resulting in a number
of fabric level errors that would end up causing a session reset
in most cases. So instead now:
- Only re-assign se_cmd->data_length durining UNDERFLOW (to use the
smaller value)
- Use existing se_cmd->data_length for OVERFLOW (to use the smaller
value)
This fix has been tested with the following CDB to generate an
SCSI overflow:
sg_raw -r512 /dev/sdc 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 0
Tested using iscsi-target, tcm_qla2xxx, loopback and tcm_vhost fabric
ports. Here is a bit more detail on each case:
- iscsi-target: Bug with open-iscsi with overflow, sg_raw returns
-3584 bytes of data.
- tcm_qla2xxx: Working as expected, returnins 512 bytes of data
- loopback: sg_raw returns CHECK_CONDITION, from overflow rejection
in transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd()
- tcm_vhost: Same as loopback

After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target
inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This
resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being
evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This
also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target
inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to
free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation.
Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs
filesystem was unmounted.
This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem
does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink,
are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called
and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode.

IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.
The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.
This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.
IBM reported successful test results with this patch.
We already use them for openat() and friends, but fstat() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it more
directly comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.
Note that you could already do the same thing with "fstatat()" and an
empty path, but just doing "fstat()" directly is simpler and faster, so
there is no reason not to just allow it directly.
See also commit 332a2e1244bd, which did the same thing for fchdir, for
the same reasons.

powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.
It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know.
This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.
Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed
without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in
run_timer_softirq.
This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6.
Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate.
We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that
no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic.
The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other
race conditions to be created.
Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive.
Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in
del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock
or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.
The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
two ways:
a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.
b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
message not coming from the kernel.
However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.
Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.
This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.
Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

The LLC code wrongly returns 0, i.e. "success", when the socket is
zapped. Together with the uninitialized uaddrlen pointer argument from
sys_getsockname this leads to an arbitrary memory leak of up to 128
bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall.
Return an error instead when the socket is zapped to prevent the info
leak. Also remove the unnecessary memset(0). We don't directly write to
the memory pointed by uaddr but memcpy() a local structure at the end of
the function that is properly initialized.

Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h:
Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one
example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle
of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system
can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality,
it's probably not BUG-worthy.
If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up
really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where
users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly.
In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides,
the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel
side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag
right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to
TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this
will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply
remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal
consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in
this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.

Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX
queue. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX
watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the
TX reset). This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412.
Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This
should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less
than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to
allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space
to add an skb after we wake a queue.
To avoid invalidating existing configurations, change
efx_ethtool_set_ringparam() to fix up values that are too small rather
than returning -EINVAL.

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little
as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a
sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough,
it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection
to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This
results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments.
In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of
DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than
a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger
the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried
after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the
issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412.
Therefore:
1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific
limit.
2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then
mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

Dave Anglin says:

The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a
constant expression.
The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.
They all define their chassis type as "Other" and therefore are not
categorized as "laptops" by the driver, which tries to perform AUX IRQ
delivery test which fails and causes touchpad not working.
Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.

This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem.
SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2)
if the device is in the stopped state as the result of
processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL
shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION
status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional
sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND
REQUIRED;
mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing
standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send
another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST
UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow
the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This
means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and
then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and
then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive.
block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives
connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas
SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command)
resulting in lots of failed commands.
The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we
have to work around it.
The fix for this is twofold:
1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been
suspended
2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any
further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which
may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.
If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the
expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate
the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number
is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned
16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of
memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory
allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request.
So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set
the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then
the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either
(max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global
credits.
The following patch moves the poll_aen_lock initializer from
megasas_probe_one() to megasas_init(). This prevents a crash when a user
loads the driver and tries to issue a poll() system call on the ioctl
interface with no adapters present.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.
Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.
This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):
If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.
We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.
If a device specifies zero endpoints in its interface descriptor,
the kernel oopses in acm_probe(). Even though that's clearly an
invalid descriptor, we should test wether we have all endpoints.
This is especially bad as this oops can be triggered by just
plugging a USB device in.

Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow")
is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee
that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to
__find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there.
Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595:
inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console,
which pointed to this commit.
I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs
sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on
ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7
itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an
irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between
18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2).
(I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages
from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until
yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.)
Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus
a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers()
and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device
by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume
that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()),
returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case.
And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird"
comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really
now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??
Commit dbf0e4c (PCI: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS

register doesn't contain 0 at that time.
It turns out that the same workaround is necessary in the analogous

ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess()
in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is
initialized to false
just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by
ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(),
only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false.
Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes
decrypt_error to it.
So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can
have a leftover value
from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly.
When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck
because of CCMP
PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already
deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt.
Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the

svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply.
However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other
threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut
down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated
read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look
to the client like further read data.
Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging

The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply
before it receives a request.
It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total
size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket.
Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it
checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not
space, it then subtracts the estimate back out.
This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is
space after all.
The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing
server threads to loop without doing any actual work.

Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is
consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if
sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data).
svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen.
This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY. However,
that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY.
Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the
problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error.

We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would
break freeing via inode destruction. So this patch simply omits a put_mark
after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before.
The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after
fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference

Ever since commit 0a57cdac3f (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence
disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls
while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data
servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed
writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS.
When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can
be triggered because it assumes that we would never call
layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is
finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the
assumptions behind the test are obsolete.
If the rpc call to NFS3PROC_FSINFO fails, then we need to report that
error so that the mount fails. Otherwise we can end up with a
superblock with completely unusable values for block sizes, maxfilesize,
etc.
Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.
If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()

src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset
!src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing
These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.
This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.
Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

This structure needs to always stick around, even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG
is disabled, otherwise we can oops when trying to probe a device that
was added after the structure is thrown away.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Bjørn Mork for tracking this issue down.
Currently we export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space but that conflicts with
the definition from glibc leading to compilation errors in user programs
(e.g. see Debian bug #658460).
The generic socket.h restricts the definition of SOCK_NONBLOCK to the
kernel, as does the MIPS specific socket.h, so let's do the same on
Alpha.
