sctp: Optimize SFR-CACC transport list walking during SACK processing
There is a possibility of walking the transport list twice during
SACK processing when doing SFR-CACC algorithm. We can restructure
the code to only do this once.
Current TCP code relies on the local port of the listening socket
being the same as the destination address of the incoming
connection. Port redirection used by many transparent proxying
techniques obviously breaks this, so we have to store the original
destination port address.
This patch extends struct inet_request_sock and stores the incoming
destination port value there. It also modifies the handshake code to
use that value as the source port when sending reply packets.

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when

can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.
CPU0 CPU1
try_to_unuse
looks at mm = task0->mm
increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.
Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like

The tty_find_polling_driver() routine did not correctly check the base
part of the tty name. This can lead to kgdboc selecting an incorrect
driver, as well as accepting a completely invalid tty such as "echo
ffff0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc".

kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

kgdb: could not write to the last of valid memory with kgdb
On the ARM architecture, kgdb will crash the kernel if the last byte
of valid memory is written due to a flush_icache_range flushing

Yet another bug was found in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and while the
source of the bug was found it wasn't an easy task to track it down
because the conditions are very difficult to reproduce.
A HUGE thank-you goes to Russell Cattelan and Eric Sandeen for their
significant effort in tracking down the source of this corruption.
xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() are almost
identical - they both compact indirect extent lists by moving extents from
subsequent buffers into earlier ones. xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() only
moves extents if all of the extents in the next buffer will fit into the
empty space in the buffer before it. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() will go
a step further and move part of the next buffer if all the extents wont
fit. It will then shift the remaining extents in the next buffer up to the
start of the buffer. The bug here was that we did not update er_extoff and
this caused extent list corruption.
It does not appear that this extra functionality gains us much. Calling
xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() instead will do a good enough job at
compacting the indirect list and will be quicker too.
For the case in xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() the total number of extents
in the indirect list will fit into one buffer so we will never need the
extra functionality of xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() there.
Also xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() doesn't need to do a memmove() (the
buffers will never overlap) so we don't want the performance hit that can
incur.

[XFS] Fix extent list corruption in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full().
If we don't move all the records from the next buffer into the current
buffer then we need to update the er_extoff field of the next buffer as we
shift the remaining records to the start of the buffer.

IPoIB: Fix crash when path record fails after path flush
Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM
change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event. This
change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by
fails, causing path->ah to become NULL. A later successful path query
will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash
because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside
the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference
(contrary to the comment that claims this is safe).
Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path
record query is successful. This prevents the neighbour AH and that
path AH from getting out of sync.
This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194>

ALSA: fix locking in snd_pcm_open*() and snd_rawmidi_open*()
The PCM and rawmidi open callbacks have a lock against card->controls_list
but it takes a wrong one, card->controls_rwsem, instead of a right one
card->ctl_files_rwlock. This patch fixes them.
This change also fixes automatically the potential deadlocks due to
