In order to safely dereference current->real_parent inside an
rcu_read_lock, we need an rcu_dereference.

      rapidio/tsi721: modify PCIe capability settings · 1cee22b7
      Alexandre Bounine authored 
      

Modify initialization of PCIe capability registers in Tsi721 mport driver:
 - change Completion Timeout value to avoid unexpected data transfer
   aborts during intensive traffic.
 - replace hardcoded offset of PCIe capability block by making it use the
   common function.

This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from 3.2-rc1.

      Alexandre Bounine authored 
      

Bug fix for Tsi721 RapidIO mport driver: Tsi721 supports four RapidIO
mailboxes (MBOX0 - MBOX3) as defined by RapidIO specification.  Mailbox
resources has to be properly reported to allow use of all available
mailboxes (initial version reports only MBOX0).

This patch is applicable to kernel versions staring from 3.2-rc1.

      procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time for nohz · 2a95ea6c
      Michal Hocko authored 
      Since commit a25cac51

 ("proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and
iowait times") we are reporting idle/io_wait time also while a CPU is
tickless.  We rely on get_{idle,iowait}_time functions to retrieve
proper data.

These functions, however, use usecs_to_cputime to translate micro
seconds time to cputime64_t.  This is just an alias to usecs_to_jiffies
which reduces the data type from u64 to unsigned int and also checks
whether the given parameter overflows jiffies_to_usecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)
and returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET in that case.

When we overflow depends on CONFIG_HZ but especially for CONFIG_HZ_300
it is quite low (1431649781) so we are getting MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET for
>3000s! until we overflow unsigned int.  Just for reference
CONFIG_HZ_100 has an overflow window around 20s, CONFIG_HZ_250 ~8s and
CONFIG_HZ_1000 ~2s.

This results in a bug when people saw [h]top going mad reporting 100%
CPU usage even though there was basically no CPU load.  The reason was
simply that /proc/stat stopped reporting idle/io_wait changes (and
reported MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET) and so the only change happening was for user
system time.

Let's use nsecs_to_jiffies64 instead which doesn't reduce the precision
to 32b type and it is much more appropriate for cumulative time values
(unlike usecs_to_jiffies which intended for timeout calculations).

      mm: vmalloc: check for page allocation failure before vmlist insertion · 1368edf0
      Mel Gorman authored 
      Commit f5252e00

 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via
/proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after
it is fully initialised.  Unfortunately, it did not check that
__vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area.  In the event of
allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed
memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in
get_vmalloc_info().

This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within
__vmalloc_node_range.  It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous
error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node()
before it called vfree in its failure path.

Credit goes to Luciano Chavez for doing all the real work of identifying
exactly where the problem was.

Make sure that start_pfn is always aligned to pageblock_nr_pages to
ensure that pfn_valid s always called at the start of each pageblock.
Architectures with holes in pageblocks will be correctly handled by
pfn_valid_within in pageblock_is_reserved.

      thp: set compound tail page _count to zero · 58a84aa9
      Youquan Song authored 
      Commit 70b50f94

 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all
page_tail->_count zero at all times.  But the current kernel does not
set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized.  So when an
IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a
tail page's _count does not equal zero.

      thp: add compound tail page _mapcount when mapped · b6999b19
      Youquan Song authored 
      

With the 3.2-rc kernel, IOMMU 2M pages in KVM works.  But when I tried
to use IOMMU 1GB pages in KVM, I encountered an oops and the 1GB page
failed to be used.

The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M
page calls gup_huge_pmd.  If compound pages are used and the page is a
tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are
mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that.

So when the mapped page is relesed, it will result in kernel oops
because the page is not marked mapped.

This patch add tail process for compound page in 1GB huge page which
keeps the same process as 2M page.

Reproduce like:
1. Add grub boot option: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8
2. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages
3. qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda os-kvm.img -cpu kvm64 -smp 4 -mem-path /dev/hugepages
	-net none -device pci-assign,host=07:00.1
