ioremap: Delay sanity check until after a successful mapping
While tracking down the reason for an ioremap() failure I was
distracted by the WARN_ONCE() in __ioremap_caller().
Performing a WARN_ONCE() sanity check before the mapping
is successful seems pointless if the caller sends bad values.
A case in point is when the BIOS provides erroneous screen_info
values causing vesafb_probe() to request an outrageuous size.
The WARN_ONCE is then wasted on bogosity. Move the warning to a
point where the mapping has been successfully allocated.
Now that remap allocator is cleaned up, update comments such that they
are in docbook function description format and reflect the actual
implementation.
x86-32, numa: Make pgdat allocation use alloc_remap()
pgdat allocation is handled differnetly from other remap allocations -
it's reserved during initialization. There's no reason to handle this
any differnetly. Remap allocator is initialized for every node and if
init failed the allocation will fail and pgdat allocation can fall
back to generic code like anyone else.
Remove special init-time pgdat reservation and make allocate_pgdat()
use alloc_remap() like everyone else.
x86-32, numa: Move remapping for remap allocator into init_alloc_remap()
There's no reason to perform the actual remapping separately.
Collapse remap_numa_kva() into init_alloc_remap() and, while at it,
make it less verbose.
x86-32, numa: Move lowmem address space reservation to init_alloc_remap()
Remap alloc init is done in the following stages.
1. init_alloc_remap() calculates how much memory is necessary for each
node and reserves node local memory.
2. initmem_init() collects how much each node needs and reserves a
single contiguous lowmem area which can contain all.
3. init_remap_allocator() initializes allocator parameters from the
determined lowmem address and per-node offsets.
4. Actual remap happens.
There is no reason for the lowmem remap area to be reserved as a
single contiguous area at one go. They don't interact with each other
and the memblock allocator will put them side-by-side anyway.
This patch breaks up the single lowmem address reservation and put
per-node lowmem address reservation into init_alloc_remap() and
initializes allocator parameters directly in the function as all the
addresses are determined there. This merges steps 2 and 3 into 1.
While at it, remove now largely irrelevant comments in
init_alloc_remap().
This change causes the following behavior changes.
* Remap lowmem areas are allocated in smaller per-node chunks.
* Remap lowmem area reservation failure fail future remap allocations
instead of panicking.
x86-32, numa: Make init_alloc_remap() less panicky
Remap allocator failure isn't fatal. The callers are required to fall
back to regular early memory allocation mechanisms on failure anyway,
so there's no reason to panic on remap init failure. Whining and
returning are enough.
Only pgdat and memmap use remap area and there isn't much benefit in
allowing per-node override. In addition, the use of node_remap_size[]
is confusing in that it contains number of bytes before remap
initialization and then number of pages afterwards.
Move remap size calculation for memap from specific NUMA config
implementations to init_alloc_remap() and make node_remap_size[]
static.
The only behavior difference is that, before this patch, numaq_32
didn't consider max_pfn when calculating the memmap size but it's
enforced after this patch, which is the right thing to do.
x86-32, numa: Make @size in init_aloc_remap() represent bytes
@size variable in init_alloc_remap() is confusing in that it starts as
number of bytes as its name implies and then becomes number of pages.
Make it consistently represent bytes.
x86-32, numa: Rename @node_kva to @node_pa in init_alloc_remap()
init_alloc_remap() is about to do more and using _kva suffix for
physical address becomes confusing because the function will be
handling both physical and virtual addresses. Rename @node_kva to
@node_pa.
This is trivial rename and doesn't cause any behavior difference.
Separate the outer node walking loop and per-node logic from
calculate_numa_remap_pages(). The outer loop is collapsed into
initmem_init() and the per-node logic is moved into a new function -
init_alloc_remap().
The new function name is confusing with the existing
init_remap_allocator() and the behavior is the function isn't very
clean either at this point, but this is to prepare for further
cleanups and it will become prettier.
This function doesn't introduce any behavior change.
x86-32, numa: Remove redundant top-down alloc code from remap initialization
memblock_find_in_range() now does top-down allocation by default, so
there's no reason for its callers to explicitly implement it by
gradually lowering the start address.
Remove redundant top-down allocation logic from init_meminit() and
calculate_numa_remap_pages().
x86-32, numa: Align pgdat size while initializing alloc_remap
When pgdat is reserved in init_remap_allocator(), PAGE_SIZE aligned
size will be used. Match the size alignment in initialization to
avoid allocation failure down the road.
x86-32, numa: Fix failure condition check in alloc_remap()
node_remap_{start|end}_vaddr[] describe [start, end) ranges; however,
alloc_remap() incorrectly failed when the current allocation + size
equaled the end but it should fail only when it goes over. Fix it.

inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct user
On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a16e
("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").
We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the
reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
up.
The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user
and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special
casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

Just because we are not requeuing a request does not mean that

Comparison function for list_sort() must be anticommutative,
otherwise it is not sorting in ordinary meaning.

dm: improve block integrity support
The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.
Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.
Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
the point of no return)

Following the fix to reset the GMBUS controller after a NAK, we finally
utilize the 0xa0 probe for a CRT connection. And discover that the code
is broken. Shock.
There are a number of issues, but following a key insight from Dave
Airlie, that 0xA0 is an invalid address on a 7-bit bus (though not if we
were to enable 10-bit addressing), and would look like the EDID port
0x50, it is possible to see where the confusion starts.
In short, a write to 0xA0 is accepted by the GMBUS controller which we
interpreted as meaning the existence of a connection (a slave on the
other end of the wire ACKing the write). That was false.
During testing with a broken GMBUS implementation, which never reset an
earlier NAK, this test always reported a NAK and so we proceeded on to
the next test.

Btrfs: fix free space cache when there are pinned extents and clusters V2
I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting
as an early ENOSPC. Turns out when writing the free space cache out I
forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly
clusters. This would result in us leaking free space everytime we
unmounted the filesystem and remounted it.
I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group
has a cluster and writing out any entries that are in the cluster to the
cache, as well as writing any pinned extents we currently have to the
cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs
mounts.
This patch also adds a check to the end of load_free_space_cache to make
sure we got the right amount of free space cache, and if not make sure

tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.
With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.
Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should
have been doing anyway.
This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:

drm/radeon/kms: pageflipping cleanup for avivo+
Avoid touching the flip setup regs while
acceleration is running. Set them at modeset
rather than during pageflip. Touching these
regs while acceleration is active caused hangs
on pre-avivo chips. These chips do not seem
to be affected, but better safe than sorry,
plus it avoids repeatedly reprogramming the
regs every flip.

tcp: len check is unnecessarily devastating, change to WARN_ON
All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error
can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super
bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state
where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such
a mis-sized value and eventually dies.

sctp: fix auth_hmacs field's length of struct sctp_cookie
auth_hmacs field of struct sctp_cookie is used for store
Requested HMAC Algorithm Parameter, and each HMAC Identifier
is 2 bytes, so the length should be:
SCTP_AUTH_NUM_HMACS * sizeof(__u16) + 2

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.
