      KVM: Do not take reference to mm during async #PF · 62c49cc9
      Gleb Natapov authored
      
      
      It turned to be totally unneeded. The reason the code was introduced is
      so that KVM can prefault swapped in page, but prefault can fail even
      if mm is pinned since page table can change anyway. KVM handles this
      situation correctly though and does not inject spurious page faults.
      
      Fixes:
       "INFO: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected" warning while
       running LTP inside a KVM guest using the recent -next kernel.

      KVM: ensure async PF event wakes up vcpu from halt · a4fa1635
      Gleb Natapov authored
      
      
      If vcpu executes hlt instruction while async PF is waiting to be delivered
      vcpu can block and deliver async PF only after another even wakes it
      up. This happens because kvm_check_async_pf_completion() will remove
      completion event from vcpu->async_pf.done before entering kvm_vcpu_block()
      and this will make kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() return false. The solution
      is to make vcpu runnable when processing completion.

      Btrfs: avoid sleeping in verify_parent_transid while atomic · b9fab919
      Chris Mason authored
      
      
      verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make
      sure no IO is underway, and so it can safely clear the
      uptodate bits if our checks fail.
      
      But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held.  Most
      of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and
      we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error
      case.  This adds an atomic flag to verify_parent_transid,
      and changes it to return EAGAIN if it needs to block to
      properly verifiy things.

      ARM: 7414/1: SMP: prevent use of the console when using idmap_pgd · fde165b2
      Colin Cross authored
      
      
      Commit 4e8ee7de (ARM: SMP: use
      idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting)
      switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized
      during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during
      __cpu_up.  This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings
      but be missing all dynamic mappings.
      
      If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the
      printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on
      the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been
      initialized, leading to a hang.  Initial boot is not affected
      because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually
      not affected because the offending console is suspended.
      Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem.
      
      A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until
      after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

      TTY: pdc_cons, fix regression in close · 49a5f3cf
      Jiri Slaby authored
      
      
      The test in pdc_console_tty_close '!tty->count' was always wrong
      because tty->count is decremented after tty->ops->close is called and
      thus can never be zero. Hence the 'then' branch was never executed and
      the timer never deleted.
      
      This did not matter until commit 5dd5bc40 ("TTY: pdc_cons, use
      tty_port").  There we needed to set TTY in tty_port to NULL, but this
      never happened due to the bug above.
      
      So change the test to really trigger at the last close by changing the
      condition to 'tty->count == 1'.
      
      Well, the driver should not touch tty->count at all.  It should use
      tty_port->count and count open count there itself.

      init: don't try mounting device as nfs root unless type fully matches · 377485f6
      Sasha Levin authored
      
      
      Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is
      UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root.  This would happen for non-NFS devices as
      well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since
      mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to
      doing the proper mount:
      
             [  101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
             [  101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18.
      
      Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries
      when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail
      and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying,
      which has revealed the issue this patch fixes.
      
      This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when
      we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS.
      
      This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be
      'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR
      major.  This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through
      the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root
      ("/dev/nfs").
