Impose a clear locking design on the note_new_gpnum()
function's use of the ->gpnum counter. This is done by updating
rdp->gpnum only from the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's
rnp->gpnum field, and even then only under the protection of
that same rcu_node structure's ->lock field. Performance and
scalability are maintained using a form of double-checked
locking, and excessive spinning is avoided by use of the
spin_trylock() function. The use of spin_trylock() is safe due
to the fact that CPUs who fail to acquire this lock will try
again later. The hierarchical nature of the rcu_node data
structure limits contention (which could be limited further if
need be using the RCU_FANOUT kernel parameter).
Without this patch, obscure but quite possible races could
result in a quiescent state that occurred during one grace
period to be accounted to the following grace period, causing
this following grace period to end prematurely. Not good!
Impose a clear locking design on the rcu_process_gp_end()
function's use of the ->completed counter. This is done by
creating a ->completed field in the rcu_node structure, which
can safely be accessed under the protection of that structure's
lock. Performance and scalability are maintained by using a
form of double-checked locking, so that rcu_process_gp_end()
only acquires the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock if a grace
period has recently ended.
This fix reduces rcutorture failure rate by at least two orders
of magnitude under heavy stress with force_quiescent_state()
being invoked artificially often. Without this fix,
unsynchronized access to the ->completed field can cause
rcu_process_gp_end() to advance callbacks whose grace period has
not yet expired. (Bad idea!)
Impose a clear locking design on non-NO_HZ handling of the
->completed counter. This increases the distance between the
RCU and the CPU-hotplug mechanisms.

This patch fixes three problems in the handling of the
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl:
1. In current EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, there are read access mode checks for
original and donor files, but they allow the illegal write access to
donor file, since donor file is overwritten by original file data. To
fix this problem, change access mode checks of original (r->r/w) and
donor (r->w) files.
2. Disallow the use of donor files that have a setuid or setgid bits.
3. Call mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write() before and after
ext4_move_extents() calling to get write access to a mount.
We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come
before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction
commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed
the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to
disk on fsync.

Inside ->setattr() call both ATTR_UID and ATTR_GID may be valid
This means that we may end-up with transferring all quotas. Add
we have to reserve QUOTA_DEL_BLOCKS for all quotas, as we do in
case of QUOTA_INIT_BLOCKS.
Currently all quota block reservation macros contains hard-coded "2"
aka MAXQUOTAS value. This is no good because in some places it is not
obvious to understand what does this digit represent. Let's introduce
new macro with self descriptive name.
There is a potential race when a transaction is committing right when
the file system is being umounting. This could reduce in a race
because EXT4_SB(sb)->s_group_info could be freed in ext4_put_super
before the commit code calls a callback so the mballoc code can
release freed blocks in the transaction, resulting in a panic trying
to access the freed s_group_info.
The fix is to wait for the transaction to finish committing before we
shutdown the multiblock allocator.
When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or
generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks
already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never
inside i_size, we have to truncate the pagecache of these blocks so
that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent
__block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will
find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will
be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data
corruption.

Integrate duplicate lines (acquire/release semaphore and invalidate
extent cache in move_extent_per_page()) into mext_replace_branches(),
to reduce source and object code size.
The move_extent.moved_len is used to pass back the number of exchanged
blocks count to user space. Currently the caller must clear this
field; but we spend more code space checking for this requirement than
simply zeroing the field ourselves, so let's just make life easier for
everyone all around.
At the beginning of ext4_move_extent(), we call
ext4_discard_preallocations() to discard inode PAs of orig and donor
inodes. But in the following case, blocks can be double freed, so
move ext4_discard_preallocations() to the end of ext4_move_extents().
1. Discard inode PAs of orig and donor inodes with
ext4_discard_preallocations() in ext4_move_extents().
orig : [ DATA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
2. While data blocks are exchanging between orig and donor inodes, new
inode PAs is created to orig by other process's block allocation.
(Since there are semaphore gaps in ext4_move_extents().) And new
inode PAs is used partially (2-1).
2-1 Create new inode PAs to orig inode
orig : [ DATA1 | used PA1 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
3. Donor inode which has old orig inode's blocks is deleted after
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished (3-1, 3-2). So the block bitmap
corresponds to old orig inode's blocks are freed.
3-1 After EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished
orig : [ DATA2 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA1 | used PA1 ]
4. The double-free of blocks is occurred, when close() is called to
orig inode. Because ext4_discard_preallocations() for orig inode
frees used PA1 and free PA1, though used PA1 is already freed in 3.
Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences
across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.
In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext4.
It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues. Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.
When an error happened in ext4_splice_branch we failed to notice that
in ext4_ind_get_blocks and mapped the buffer anyway. Fix the problem
by checking for error properly.

We need to be testing the i_flags field in the ext4 specific portion
of the inode, instead of the (confusingly aliased) i_flags field in
the generic struct inode.
When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and
ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads
corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a
directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so
ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise,
if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
corrupting these data blocks.
Thanks to Curt Wohlgemuth for pointing out potential problems in this
area.
One of the invalid error paths in ext4_iget() forgot to brelse() the
inode buffer head. Fix it by adding a brelse() in the common error
return path, which also simplifies function.
Thanks to Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> reporting the problem.
If CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled, the double_down_write_data_sem()
will trigger a false-positive warning of a recursive lock. Since we
take i_data_sem for the two inodes ordered by their inode numbers,
this isn't a problem. Use of down_write_nested() will notify the lock
dependency checker machinery that there is no problem here.
ext4_move_extents() checks the logical block contiguousness
of original file with ext4_find_extent() and mext_next_extent().
Therefore the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates
must not be changed between above functions.
But in current implementation, there is no i_data_sem protection
between ext4_ext_find_extent() and mext_next_extent(). So the extent
which ext4_ext_path structure indicates may be overwritten by
delalloc. As a result, ext4_move_extents() will exchange wrong blocks
between original and donor files. I change the place where
acquire/release i_data_sem to solve this problem.
Moreover, I changed move_extent_per_page() to start transaction first,
and then acquire i_data_sem. Without this change, there is a
possibility of the deadlock between mmap() and ext4_move_extents():
* NOTE: "A", "B" and "C" mean different processes
A-1: ext4_ext_move_extents() acquires i_data_sem of two inodes.
B: do_page_fault() starts the transaction (T),
and then tries to acquire i_data_sem.
But process "A" is already holding it, so it is kept waiting.
C: While "A" and "B" running, kjournald2 tries to commit transaction (T)
but it is under updating, so kjournald2 waits for it.
A-2: Call ext4_journal_start with holding i_data_sem,
but transaction (T) is locked.
If the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl fails, the number of blocks that were
exchanged before the failure should be returned to the userspace
caller. Unfortunately, currently if the block size is not the same as
the page size, the returned block count that is returned is the
page-aligned block count instead of the actual block count. This
commit addresses this bug.
If s_log_groups_per_flex is greater than 31, then groups_per_flex will
will overflow and cause a divide by zero error. This can cause kernel
BUG if such a file system is mounted.
Thanks to Nageswara R Sastry for analyzing the failure and providing
an initial patch.
Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head
in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it.
However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers
dealt with this correctly. Fix this by making simplifying the freeing
convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer
head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller. This makes
things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking
buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.

All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.
The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c
The test case creates the following stack scenario:
0xn0300 stack top
0xn0200 alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start == stack pointer
If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"
On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
0xn0200 stack pointer
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
(when switching to alt stack)
0xn0000 stack base
This is handled correctly by the current implementation.
[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
variants ]

modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024000000000000000000000034 2**2

Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under

make[1]: *** [kernel/slow-work.o] Error 1
Fix this by:
(1) Extracting the bits of slow_work_execute() that are contingent on
CONFIG_MODULES, and the bits that should be, into inline functions and
placing them into the #ifdef'd section that defines the relevant variables
and adding stubs for moduleless kernels. This allows the removal of some
#ifdefs.
(2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless
kernels.
The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and
their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but
each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would
prevent them from being inlined.

md: revert incorrect fix for read error handling in raid1.
commit 4706b349f was a forward port of a fix that was needed
for SLES10. But in fact it is not needed in mainline because
the earlier commit dd00a99e7a fixes the same problem in a
better way.
Further, this commit introduces a bug in the way it interacts with
the automatic read-error-correction. If, after a read error is
successfully corrected, the same disk is chosen to re-read - the
re-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead.
After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a
read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot
be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same
device and continue to get an error.
So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on
a read error.

Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions
The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b54249b
"remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect
setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall.
The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83f39f
"KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]"
further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code
as evidenced by:
AS arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range
(0x0000000000000406 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and
0x00000000000000ff)
Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be
in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that
ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT matches the rearrangement of the thread info flags.

USB: Add support for Mobilcom Debitel USB UMTS Surf-Stick to option driver
This patch adds the vendor and device id for the Mobilcom Debitel UMTS surf
stick (a.k.a. 4G Systems XSStick W14, MobiData MBD-200HU, ...).
To see these ids, you need to switch the stick to modem operation first
with the help of usb_modeswitch. This makes it switch from 1c9e:f000 to
1c9e:9603 and thus be recognized by the option driver.

USB: musb: Fix CPPI IRQs not being signaled
On tx channel abort a cppi interrupt is generated for a short time by
setting the lowest bit of the TCPPICOMPPTR register. It is then reset
immediately by clearing the bit. When the interrupt handler is run,
it does not detect an interrupt in the TCPPIMSKSR or RCPPIMSKSR
registers and thus exits early without writing the TCPPIEOIR register.
It appears that this inhibits further cppi interrupts until the handler
is called by chance, f.ex. from davinci_interrupt().
By moving the unmasking of the interrupt below the writes to
TCPPICOMPPTR, no interrupt is generated and no write to TCPPIEOIR is
necessary.

USB: musb: respect usb_request->zero in control requests
In gadget mode the answer to a control request should be followed by
a zero-length packet if the amount transferred is an exact multiple of
the endpoint's packet size and the requests has its "zero" flag set.
This patch prevents the request from being immediately removed from the
queue when a control IN transfer ends on a full packet and "zero" is set.
The next time ep0_txstate is entered, a zero-length packet is queued and
the request is removed as fifo_count is 0.
