      USB: EHCI: fix regression in QH unlinking · d714aaf6
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1670) fixes a regression caused by commit
      6402c796
      
       (USB: EHCI: work around
      silicon bug in Intel's EHCI controllers).  The workaround goes through
      two IAA cycles for each QH being unlinked.  During the first cycle,
      the QH is not added to the async_iaa list (because it isn't fully gone
      from the hardware yet), which means that list will be empty.
      
      Unfortunately, I forgot to update the IAA watchdog timer routine.  It
      thinks that an empty async_iaa list means the timer expiration was an
      error, which isn't true any more.  This problem didn't show up during
      initial testing because the controllers being tested all had working
      IAA interrupts.  But not all controllers do, and when the watchdog
      timer expires, the empty-list check prevents the second IAA cycle from
      starting.  As a result, URB unlinks never complete.  The check needs
      to be removed.
      
      Among the symptoms of the regression are processes stuck in D wait
      states and hangs during system shutdown.

      mm/fremap.c: fix possible oops on error path · a2362d24
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b1
      
       ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error
      path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized
      vm_flags without changing the generated code.
      
      However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail
      with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of:
      
      - compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the
        !vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops
      
      - compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got
        dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!)
      
      I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0
      just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

       "This contains a single commit that fixes a regression in

        reference.  This has been posted to LKML at

      list: Fix double fetch of pointer in hlist_entry_safe() · f65846a1
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      
      
      The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice,
      once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the
      enclosing structure.  This is OK for normal lock-based use because in
      that case, the pointer cannot change.  However, when the pointer is
      protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can
      change at any time.  This use case can result in the following sequence
      of events:
      
      1.	CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected
      	pointer as sees that it is non-NULL.
      
      2.	CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0
      	just fetched a pointer to.  Because this is the last entry
      	in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL.
      
      3.	CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a
      	NULL-pointer crash.
      
      This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to
      create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched
      only once, avoiding the above sequence of events.  Please note that
      it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed.
      This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing
      any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.
      
      Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for spotting root cause!

        to the filesystems I deleted the old ones.  A bad move.  It turns out
        that distributions like Arch linux use module aliases when
        constructing ramdisks.  Which meant ultimately that an ext3 filesystem
        mounted with ext4 would not result in the ext4 module being put into
        the ramdisk.
      
        The other change in this tree adds a handful of filesystem module
        alias I simply failed to add the first time.  Which inconvinienced a
        few folks using cifs.

      idr: idr_alloc() shouldn't trigger lowmem warning when preloaded · 59bfbcf0
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the
      allocation mask doesn't really matter.  If the idr tree needs to be
      expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified
      allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer.  This
      order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of
      preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the
      burden of allocation to the preload users.
      
      Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up
      generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from
      the preload buffer.
      
      This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first
      kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after
      allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated
      if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.
