There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race
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

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.

Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM

change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by

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

Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path

path AH from getting out of sync.

p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling

waiting on p9_conn->equeue. After that, polling is stopped and the
trans is destroyed. This sequence has a few problems.
* Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be
destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests
from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them.
* The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger
because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only
way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a
request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the
wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or
without the wait.
This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can
schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that
r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling

i2c-powermac: Fix section for probe and remove functions
__devexit for i2c_powermac_probe is obviously wrong. In the definition

i2c_powermac_remove is wrapped in __devexit_p, so it should be defined

[MIPS] Fixe the definition of PTRS_PER_PGD
When we use > 4KB's page size the original definition is not consistent
with PGDIR_SIZE. For exeample, if we use 16KB page size the PGDIR_SHIFT is
(14-2) + 14 = 26, PGDIR_SIZE is 2^26，so the PTRS_PER_PGD should be:
2^32/2^26 = 2^6
but the original definition of PTRS_PER_PGD is 4096 (PGDIR_ORDER = 0).
So, this definition needs to be consistent with the PGDIR_SIZE.
And the new definition is consistent with the PGD init in pagetable_init().

[MIPS] au1000: Fix gpio direction
When setting the direction of one GPIO pin we have to keep the state of the
other pins, hence use binary OR. Also gpio_direction_output() wants to set an
initial value, so add that too.
This fixes a problem with the USB power switch on mtx-1 boards.

USB: revert recovery from transient errors
This patch (as1135) essentially reverts the major parts of two earlier
patches to usbcore, because they ended up causing a regression.
Trying to recover from transient communication errors can lead to
other problems, because operations that failed during the error period
are not always retried. The simplest example is the initial
Set-Config request sent after device enumeration; if it gets lost then
it will not be retried and the device will remain unconfigured.
This patch restores the old behavior in which any port disconnect or
port disable causes the entire device structure to be removed, fixing a
reported regression.
