connector: use nlmsg_len() to check message length
The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be
at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes
the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to
fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check.

pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvements
FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported
by Steinar :
1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order
to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current
delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can
be too high.
Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO,
and default FQ quantum is 2*1514.
(Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help
to not having to disable TSO in the first place)
2) maxrate was not used for forwarded flows (skbs not attached
to a socket)

Recently grabbed this report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567
Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the
following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up:
dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of
device might be broken.
The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last
slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond
mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add
and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when
we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to
determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But
since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we
incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode
to begin with, causing the above error
Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function
and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity.
This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag

tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit
When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of
packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow.
Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small
for high rates.
Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO
auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device
queues.
New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets.
Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller
number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery,
better RTT estimations.
High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets
in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line
rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing
parameters ]
Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing
Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but
this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion
avoidance.
Additional change : skb->destructor should be set to tcp_wfree().
A future patch (for linux 3.13+) might remove tcp_limit_output_bytes

Manfred illustrates this nicely:
Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after

in do_msgrcv(). The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock().
Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID. When the first task is

mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configuration
The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd3627
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.
This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.
This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations. This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.

mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU lists
Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when
migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated
page list.
The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to
reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA
path. Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists
shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic:
This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at
putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid
isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.
But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83
IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]
These two issues have one reason. This reason can raise third issue
too. Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.
REPRODUCING PATH:
One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:
1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB
Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:
(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.
(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
during processing.
(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
in another thread.
INVESTIGATION:
First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:
Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment
number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.
Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:
Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list. Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.
It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:
The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.
FIX:
This patch adds:
(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
for every proccessed dirty block;
(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();
(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

kernel/kmod.c: check for NULL in call_usermodehelper_exec()
If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.
This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a84 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit 7f57cfa4e2aa ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").
This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).
The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly. This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface. Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires
a proper synchronization.
But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.
If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race. Details are below.
The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.
I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.
The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.
Details of the bug:
Assume:
- sma->complex_count = 0.
- Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
- Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).
Pseudo-Trace:
Thread 1: sem_lock(): acquire sem_perm.lock
Thread 1: sem_lock(): check for ongoing simple ops

ipv6: Fix preferred_lft not updating in some cases
Consider the scenario where an IPv6 router is advertising a fixed
preferred_lft of 1800 seconds, while the valid_lft begins at 3600
seconds and counts down in realtime.
A client should reset its preferred_lft to 1800 every time the RA is
received, but a bug is causing Linux to ignore the update.
The core problem is here:
if (prefered_lft != ifp->prefered_lft) {
Note that ifp->prefered_lft is an offset, so it doesn't decrease over
time. Thus, the comparison is always (1800 != 1800), which fails to
trigger an update.
The most direct solution would be to compute a "stored_prefered_lft",
and use that value in the comparison. But I think that trying to filter
out unnecessary updates here is a premature optimization. In order for
the filter to apply, both of these would need to hold:
- The advertised valid_lft and preferred_lft are both declining in
real time.
- No clock skew exists between the router & client.
So in this patch, I've set "update_lft = 1" unconditionally, which
allows the surrounding code to be greatly simplified.

When the 'avr32_comparator' clockevent device is registered,
the clockevent core sets the mode of that clockevent device
to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN. Due to this, the 'comparator_mode'
function calls the 'cpu_idle_poll_ctrl' to disables idle poll.
This results in the aforementioned warning because the polling
is not enabled yet.
Change the code to only disable idle poll if it is enabled by
the same function to avoid the warning.

apparmor: Use shash crypto API interface for profile hashes
Use the shash interface, rather than the hash interface, when hashing
AppArmor profiles. The shash interface does not use scatterlists and it
is a better fit for what AppArmor needs.
This fixes a kernel paging BUG when aa_calc_profile_hash() is passed a
buffer from vmalloc(). The hash interface requires callers to handle
vmalloc() buffers differently than what AppArmor was doing. Due to
vmalloc() memory not being physically contiguous, each individual page
behind the buffer must be assigned to a scatterlist with sg_set_page()
and then the scatterlist passed to crypto_hash_update().
The shash interface does not have that limitation and allows vmalloc()
and kmalloc() buffers to be handled in the same manner.

NFS: Give "flavor" an initial value to fix a compile warning
The previous patch introduces a compile warning by not assigning an initial
value to the "flavor" variable. This could only be a problem if the server
returns a supported secflavor list of length zero, but it's better to
fix this before it's ever hit.
NFSv4.1: try SECINFO_NO_NAME flavs until one works
Call nfs4_lookup_root_sec for each flavor returned by SECINFO_NO_NAME until
one works.
One example of a situation this fixes:
- server configured for krb5
- server principal somehow gets deleted from KDC
- server still thinking krb is good, sends krb5 as first entry in
SECINFO_NO_NAME response
- client tries krb5, but this fails without even sending an RPC because
gssd's requests to the KDC can't find the server's principal
NFSv4.1: Ensure memory ordering between nfs4_ds_connect and nfs4_fl_prepare_ds
We need to ensure that the initialisation of the data server nfs_client
structure in nfs4_ds_connect is correctly ordered w.r.t. the read of
ds->ds_clp in nfs4_fl_prepare_ds.

While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:
- it should have been a separate helper function
- why the heck does it do strchr() twice
- it casts a const char * over into char *
- sloppy style
- it's not even a regression fix!
So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.
