Also it is currently applied to requests which we are 'waiting' for

The return value from cache_defer_req is somewhat confusing.
Various different error codes are returned, but the single caller is

In fact it can measure this success or failure itself by checking
CACHE_PENDING, which makes the point of the code more explicit.
So change cache_defer_req to return 'void' and test CACHE_PENDING
after it completes, to see if the request was actually deferred or
not.
Similarly setup_deferral and cache_wait_req don't need a return value,
so make them void and remove some code.
The call to cache_revisit_request (to guard against a race) is only
needed for the second call to setup_deferral, so move it out of

If we set up to wait for a cache item to be filled in, and then find
that it is no longer pending, it could be that some other thread is
in 'cache_revisit_request' and has moved our request to its 'pending' list.
So when our setup_deferral calls cache_revisit_request it will find nothing to
put on the pending list, and do nothing.
We then return from cache_wait_req, thus leaving the 'sleeper'
on-stack structure open to being corrupted by subsequent stack usage.
However that 'sleeper' could still be on the 'pending' list that the
other thread is looking at and so any corruption could cause it to behave badly.
To avoid this race we simply take the same path as if the
'wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout' was interrupted and if the
sleeper is no longer on the list (which it won't be) we wait on the
completion - which will ensure that any other cache_revisit_request
will have let go of the sleeper.

SUNRPC: Fix the NFSv4 and RPCSEC_GSS Kconfig dependencies
The NFSv4 client's callback server calls svc_gss_principal(), which
is defined in the auth_rpcgss.ko
The NFSv4 server has the same dependency, and in addition calls
svcauth_gss_flavor(), gss_mech_get_by_pseudoflavor(),
gss_pseudoflavor_to_service() and gss_mech_put() from the same module.
The module auth_rpcgss itself has no dependencies aside from sunrpc,
so we only need to select RPCSEC_GSS.
An NFS client executes a statfs("file", &buff) call.
"file" exists / existed, the client has read / written it,
but it has already closed it.
user_path(pathname, &path) looks up "file" successfully in the
directory-cache and restarts the aging timer of the directory-entry.
Even if "file" has already been removed from the server, because the
lookupcache=positive option I use, keeps the entries valid for a while.
nfs_statfs() returns ESTALE if "file" has already been removed from the
server.
If the user application repeats the statfs("file", &buff) call, we
are stuck: "file" remains young forever in the directory-cache.
The maximum size of the authcache is now set to 1024 (10 bits),
but on our server we need at least 4096 (12 bits). Increase
MAX_HASHTABLE_BITS to 14. This is a maximum of 16384 entries,
each containing a pointer (8 bytes on x86_64). This is
exactly the limit of kmalloc() (128K).

PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memory
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.
Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queue
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

execve: improve interactivity with large arguments
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.
When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.

KEYS: Fix bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() if parent has no session keyring
Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership
of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session
keyring [CVE-2010-2960].
If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all
processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created
by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.
To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in /etc/pam.d/.
