acpi_memhotplug.c: bind the memory device when the driver is being loaded
We had introduced acpi_hotmem_initialized to avoid strange add_memory fail
message. But the memory device may not be used by the kernel, and the
device should be bound when the driver is being loaded. Remove
acpi_hotmem_initialized to allow that the device can be bound when the
driver is being loaded.

acpi_memhotplug.c: free memory device if acpi_memory_enable_device() failed
If acpi_memory_enable_device() fails, acpi_memory_enable_device() will
return a non-zero value, which means we fail to bind the memory device to
this driver. So we should free memory device before
acpi_memory_device_add() returns.

x86 cpu_hotplug: unmap cpu2node when the cpu is hotremoved
When a cpu is hotplugged, we call acpi_map_cpu2node() in
_acpi_map_lsapic() to store the cpu's node. But we don't clear the cpu's
node in acpi_unmap_lsapic() when this cpu is hotremoved. If the node is
also hotremoved, We will get the following messages:
The reason is that: the cpu's node is not NUMA_NO_NODE, we will call
alloc_pages_exact_node() to alloc memory on the node, but the node is
offlined.

vfs: d_obtain_alias() needs to use "/" as default name.
NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then
{ cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }
will cause a WARN message like
WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
...
Root dentry has weird name <>
to appear in kernel logs.
So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.

The inb/outb macros for CRIS are broken from a number of points of view,
missing () around parameters and they have an unprotected if statement in
them. This was breaking the compile of IPMI on CRIS and thus I was being
annoyed by build regressions, so I fixed them.
Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values
were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size.
From what I can tell, this stuff is not used at all, so this can't be any
more broken than it was before, anyway.

pid-namespace: limit value of ns_last_pid to (0, max_pid)
The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to

The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will try

c76562b6 ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock") accidentally
replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int.
This changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement.
In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but "size"
is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a signed
integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type conversion
in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.
Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the semantics
of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly the same.

slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it
is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is
a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from
normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no
node-partial slab.
In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a:
mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and
returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was
just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it
and re-deactivate.
"deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.
This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario.
Instead, new_slab() is called.

slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab
Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail page
and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that the
head page is always used.

nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy I/O
going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue. When this happens, those requests are never
completed or freed.
The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being cleared.
