Waiman managed to trigger a PMI while in a emulate_vsyscall() fault,
the PMI in turn managed to trigger a fault while obtaining a stack
trace. This triggered the sig_on_uaccess_error recursive fault logic
and killed the process dead.

Fix this by explicitly excluding interrupts from the recursive fault
logic.

__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such
as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler),
so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu
counter, otherwise counts may be lost.

This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue()
because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter.

This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c:
disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's
approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that
have optimized this_cpu_add().

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Bad Address (null pointer deref?)

Commit 8456a648

 changes the page structure so that the slab
subsystem reuses the page->mapping field.

The crash happens in the following way:
 * XFS allocates some memory from slab and issues a bio to read data
   into it.
 * the bio is sent to the loopback device.
 * lo_receive creates an actor and calls splice_direct_to_actor.
 * lo_splice_actor copies data to the target page.
 * lo_splice_actor calls flush_dcache_page because the page may be
   mapped by userspace.  In that case we need to flush the kernel cache.
 * flush_dcache_page asks for the list of userspace mappings, however
   that page->mapping field is reused by the slab subsystem for a
   different purpose.  This causes the crash.

Note that other architectures without coherent caches (sparc, arm, mips)
also call page_mapping from flush_dcache_page, so they may crash in the
same way.

This patch fixes this bug by testing if the page is a slab page in
page_mapping and returning NULL if it is.

The patch also fixes VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) that could happen in
earlier kernels in the same scenario on architectures without cache
coherence when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled - so it should be backported
to stable kernels.

In the old kernels, the function page_mapping is placed in
include/linux/mm.h, so you should modify the patch accordingly when
backporting it.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in
active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean.  It is
possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.

The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:

  nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean

Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:

  NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0
  NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660)

The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.

This is what happens:

 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
    allocates a new segment
 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
 8. Loop around and the collection starts again
 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
    including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
    data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
    segment and causes file system corruption

This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements.  If
nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments
the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

The body of i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter() is currently guarded by
I2C_MUX. It should be CONFIG_I2C_MUX instead.

Among potentially other problems, this resulted in i2c_lock_adapter()
only locking I2C mux child adapters, and not the parent adapter. In
turn, this could allow inter-mingling of mux child selection and I2C
transactions, which could result in I2C transactions being directed to
the wrong I2C bus, and possibly even switching between busses in the
middle of a transaction.

One concrete issue caused by this bug was corrupted HDMI EDID reads
during boot on the NVIDIA Tegra Seaboard system, although this only
became apparent in recent linux-next, when the boot timing was changed
just enough to trigger the race condition.

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.

If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.

However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update.  We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.

This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag.  If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather

This is will crash with a null dereference.

commit 6d183de4
    md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.

simplified a BUG_ON, but removed too much so now it sometimes fires
when it shouldn't.

When the STRIPE_EXPANDING flag is set, the stripe_head might be on a
special list while multiple stripe_heads are collected, or it might
not be on any list, even a 'free' list when the refcount is zero.  As
long as STRIPE_EXPANDING is set, it will be found and added back to a
list eventually.

So both of the BUG_ONs which test for the ->lru being empty or not
need to avoid the case where STRIPE_EXPANDING is set.

The patch which broke this was marked for -stable, so this patch needs
to be applied to any branch that received 6d183de4

The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes
and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before
the current resync point in either next_window_requests or
current_window_requests.
It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window.

allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the
*_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set.

However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a
slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set
from the return value of this function).
So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this
leads to the resync hanging.

So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the
same cases that it increments *_window_requests.

But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.

If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and
potentially read some of it from a different device.

The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10.
1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!!
2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly
   seen by comparison with raid1.c

This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10
ever had known bad blocks.

  ftrace/x86: Load ftrace_ops in parameter not the variable holding it

On PA-Semi firmware, the instance-to-package callback doesn't seem
to be implemented. We didn't check for error, however, thus
subsequently passed the -1 value returned into stdout_node to
thins like prom_getprop etc...

Thus caused the firmware to load values around 0 (physical) internally
as node structures. It somewhat "worked" as long as we had a NULL in the
right place (address 8) at the beginning of the kernel, we didn't "see"
the bug. But commit 5c0484e2


"powerpc: Endian safe trampoline" changed the kernel entry point causing
that old bug to now cause a crash early during boot.

This fixes booting on PA-Semi board by properly checking the return
value from instance-to-package.

Kexec disables outer cache before jumping to reboot code, but it doesn't
flush it explicitly. Flush is done implicitly inside of l2x0_disable().
But some SoC's override default .disable handler and don't flush cache.
This may lead to a corrupted memory during Kexec reboot on these
platforms.

This patch adds cache flush inside of OMAP4 and Highbank outer_cache.disable()
handlers to make it consistent with default l2x0_disable().

Investigating, I found that the inode->i_security was NULL, and the
dereference of it caused the oops.

in selinux_inode_permission():

	isec = inode->i_security;

	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec->sid, isec->sclass, perms, 0, &avd);

Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.

What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).

Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

do_huge_pmd_wp_page() tests is_huge_zero_pmd(orig_pmd) four times: but
since shrink_huge_zero_page() can free the huge_zero_page, and we have
no hold of our own on it here (except where the fourth test holds
page_table_lock and has checked pmd_same), it's possible for it to
answer yes the first time, but no to the second or third test.  Change
all those last three to tests for NULL page.

(Note: this is not the same issue as trinity's DEBUG_PAGEALLOC BUG
in copy_page_rep with RSI: ffff88009c422000, reported by Sasha Levin
in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/29/103.  I believe that one is due
to the source page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy
is in progress; and not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since
the pmd_same check will prevent a miscopy from being made visible.)

When queue_mode is NULL_Q_MQ and null_blk is being removed,
blk_cleanup_queue() isn't called to cleanup queue, so the queue
allocated won't be freed.

This patch calls blk_cleanup_queue() for MQ to drain all pending
requests first and release the reference counter of queue kobject, then
blk_mq_free_queue() will be called in queue kobject's release handler
when queue kobject's reference counter drops to zero.

Unfortunately the seqlock lockdep enablement can't be used
in sched_clock(), since the lockdep infrastructure eventually
calls into sched_clock(), which causes a deadlock.

Thus, this patch changes all generic sched_clock() usage
to use the raw_* methods.

Linus disliked the _no_lockdep() naming, so instead
use the more-consistent raw_* prefix to the non-lockdep
enabled seqcount methods.

This also adds raw_ methods for the write operations
as well, which will be utilized in a following patch.

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.

Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.

wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee

 (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
historical behaviour.
