Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo ca0bf64d99 pktcdvd: removing device does not remove its sysfs dir
This is the counterpart to cba767175b
("pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices").  Device is not
registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy
which looks up the device by dev_t.  This will fail and adding the device
again will fail with the "duplicate name" error.  This is fixed using
device_unregister instead of device_destroy.

Shaohui Zheng ea0854170c memory hotplug: fix a bug on /dev/mem for 64-bit kernels
Newly added memory can not be accessed via /dev/mem, because we do not
update the variables high_memory, max_pfn and max_low_pfn.

Add a function update_end_of_memory_vars() to update these variables for
64-bit kernels.

Uwe Kleine-König 1ec562035b imxfb: correct location of callbacks in suspend and resume
The probe function passes a pointer to a struct fb_info to
platform_set_drvdata(), so don't interpret the return value of
platform_get_drvdata() as a pointer to struct imxfb_info.

The original imxfb_info *fbi backlight_power was NULL but in imxfb_suspend
it was 4 resulting in an oops as imxfb_suspend calls
imxfb_disable_controller(fbi) which in turn has

	if (fbi->backlight_power)
			fbi->backlight_power(0);

Li Zefan 4528fd0595 cgroups: fix to return errno in a failure path
In cgroup_create(), if alloc_css_id() returns failure, the errno is not
propagated to userspace, so mkdir will fail silently.

To trigger this bug, we mount blkio (or memory subsystem), and create more
then 65534 cgroups.  (The number of cgroups is limited to 65535 if a
subsystem has use_id == 1)

 # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt
 # for ((i = 0; i < 65534; i++)); do mkdir /mnt/$i; done
 # mkdir /mnt/65534
 (should return ENOSPC)

Hui Zhu ef2b9b0545 markup_oops.pl: fix $func_offset error with x86_64
When I use markup_oops.pl parse a x8664 oops, I got:

objdump: --start-address: bad number: NaN
No matching code found
This is because:
main::(./m.pl:228):	open(FILE, "objdump -dS --adjust-vma=$vmaoffset --start-address=$decodestart --stop-address=$decodestop $filename |") || die "Cannot start objdump";
  DB<3> p $decodestart
NaN

This NaN is from:
main::(./m.pl:176):	my $decodestart = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$target") - Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$func_offset");
  DB<2> p $func_offset
0x175

There is already a "0x" in $func_offset, another 0x makes it a NaN.

The $func_offset is from line:

	if ($line =~ /RIP: 0010:\[\<[0-9a-f]+\>\]  \[\<[0-9a-f]+\>\] ([a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)\+(0x[0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/) {
		$function = $1;
		$func_offset = $2;
	}

I make a patch to change "(0x[0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/)" to "0x([0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/)".

Wu Fengguang c85e9a97c4 devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes
write_kmem() used to assume vwrite() always return the full buffer length.
However now vwrite() could return 0 to indicate memory hole.  This
creates a bug that "buf" is not advanced accordingly.

Fix it to simply ignore the return value, hence the memory hole.

anfei zhou 931e80e4b3 mm: flush dcache before writing into page to avoid alias
The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic.  So the right steps should be:

	flush_dcache_page(page);
	kmap_atomic(page);
	write to page;
	kunmap_atomic(page);
	flush_dcache_page(page);

More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.

Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:

	int val = 0x11111111;
	fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
	addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
	tmp = *(addr+0);
	*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
	write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
	close(fd);

The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected.  Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Tejun Heo 859ddf0974 idr: fix a critical misallocation bug
Eric Paris located a bug in idr.  With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three
layers when id 4096 is first allocated.  When that happens, idr wraps
incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits.  The
following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely.

#include <linux/idr.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>

static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);

int init_module(void)
{
	int ret, forty95, forty96;
	void *addr;

	/* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */
again1:
	if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
		return -ENOMEM;
	ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95);
	if (ret) {
		if (ret == -EAGAIN)
			goto again1;
		return ret;
	}
	if (forty95 != 4095)
		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95);

again2:
	if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
		return -ENOMEM;
	ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96);
	if (ret) {
		if (ret == -EAGAIN)
			goto again2;
		return ret;
	}
	if (forty96 != 4096)
		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96);

	/* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */
	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95);
	if ((int)addr != forty95)
		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr);
	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96);
	if ((int)addr != forty96)
		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty96=%d addr=%d\n", forty96, (int)addr);
	/* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */
	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0);
	if ((int)addr)
		printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr);

This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it
step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step
backtracking.  The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following.

  restart:
    clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection
    l = top level
    while (true) {
	search for empty slot at this level
	if (not found) {
	    push id to the next possible value
	    l++
A:	    if (pa[l] is clear)
	        failed, return asking caller to grow the tree
	    if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search)
	        continue the while loop above with the incremented l
	    else
C:	        goto restart

	adjust id accordingly to the found slot
	if (l == 0)
	    return found id;
	create lower level if not there yet
	record pa[l] and l--
    }

Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is
propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks
the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is
above the possible limit with the current layers.  sub_alloc() assumes the
start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit
condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring
high set bit.

So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid
pointer.  However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so
it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit
set beyond the top level.

This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full
id limit check.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.

Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the
code.

Nick Piggin 02b709df81 mm: purge fragmented percpu vmap blocks
Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps.  We previously don't free
up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed.  So
fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had
no active vmap regions within them.

Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case
of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim
such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so
as to avoid a large build up of them).

Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU
vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the
previous bug fix.

Nick Piggin de5604231c mm: percpu-vmap fix RCU list walking
RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken.  It did not use
RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is
obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU
walking).

While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier
iteration.

These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the
XFS conversion.  Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved
with these patches.  Also it is an exported interface, so I think it
will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS
changes into their local tree).

Linus Torvalds 7ab02af428 Fix 'flush_old_exec()/setup_new_exec()' split
Commit 221af7f87b ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split
the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no
more error cases to check.  That made sense from a technical standpoint,
but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting
going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a
bit more careful.

In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old
personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup'
stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state
that we're just setting up.

So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()',
which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state
etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect
any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment.

This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu
environment.

Vivek Goyal 1efe8fe1c2 cfq-iosched: Do not idle on async queues
Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
with more test results.

This patch does two things.

- Do not idle on async queues.

- It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
  Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
  true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
  of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
  increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
  be kicking in at all.

This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
request).

Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.

With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
results.

DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses;
however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any.  The dbdma code works
around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start
address within it.

When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into
account which results in an oops:

Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using
it as parameter to kfree().

This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
enabled;  non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses,
debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.
