When btrfs readdir() hits the last entry it sets the readdir offset to a huge value to stop buggy apps from breaking when the same name is returned by readdir() with concurrent rename()s. But unconditionally setting the offset to INT_MAX causes readdir() to loop returning any entries with offsets past INT_MAX. It only takes a few hours of constant file creation and removal to create entries past INT_MAX. So let's set the huge offset to LLONG_MAX if the last entry has already overflowed 32bit loff_t. Without large offsets behaviour is identical. With large offsets 64bit apps will work and 32bit apps will be no more broken than they currently are if they see large offsets.

I noticed while running multi-threaded fsync tests that sometimes fsck would complain about an improper gap. This happens because we fail to add a hole extent to the file, which was happening when we'd split a hole EM because btrfs_drop_extent_cache was just discarding the whole em instead of splitting it. So this patch fixes this by allowing us to split a hole em properly, which means that added holes actually get logged properly and we no longer see this fsck error. Thankfully we're tolerant of these sort of problems so a user would not see any adverse effects of this bug, other than fsck complaining.

Because we don't mess with the offset into the extent for compressed we will properly find both extents for this case [extent a][extent b][rest of extent a] but because we already added a ref for the front half we won't add the inode information for the second half. This causes us to leak that memory and not print out the other offset when we do logical-resolve. So fix this by calling ulist_add_merge and then add our eie to the existing entry if there is one. With this patch we get both offsets out of logical-resolve. With this and the other 2 patches I've sent we now pass btrfs/276 on my vm with compress-force=lzo set.

If you do btrfs inspect-internal logical-resolve on a compressed extent that has been partly overwritten it won't find anything. This is because we try and match the extent offset we've searched for based on the extent offset in the data extent entry. However this doesn't work for compressed extents because the offsets are for the uncompressed size, not the compressed size. So instead only do this check if we are not compressed, that way we can get an actual entry for the physical offset rather than nothing for compressed.

xfstest btrfs/276 was freaking out on slower boxes partly because fiemap was offsetting the physical based on the extent offset. This is perfectly fine with uncompressed extents, however the extent offset is into the uncompressed area, not the compressed. So we can return a physical value that isn't at all within the area we have allocated on disk. Fix this by returning the start of the extent if it is compressed no matter what the offset.

For partial extents, snapshot-aware defrag does not work as expected, since a) we use the wrong logical offset to search for parents, which should be disk_bytenr + extent_offset, not just disk_bytenr, b) 'offset' returned by the backref walking just refers to key.offset, not the 'offset' stored in btrfs_extent_data_ref which is (key.offset - extent_offset).

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: - ACPI-based memory hotplug stopped working after a recent change, because it's not possible to associate sufficiently many "physical" devices with one ACPI device object due to an artificial limit. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki removes that limit and makes memory hotplug work again. - A change made in 3.9 uncovered a bug in the ACPI processor driver preventing NUMA nodes from being put offline due to an ordering issue. Fix from Yasuaki Ishimatsu changes the ordering to make things work again. - One of the recent ACPI video commits (that hasn't been reverted so far) uncovered a bug in the code handling quirky BIOSes that caused some Asus machines to boot with backlight completely off which made it quite difficult to use them afterward. Fix from Felipe Contreras improves the quirk to cover this particular case correctly. - A cpufreq user space interface change made in 3.10 inadvertently renamed the ignore_nice_load sysfs attribute to ignore_nice which resulted in some confusion. Fix from Viresh Kumar changes the name back to ignore_nice_load. - An initialization ordering change made in 3.9 broke cpufreq on loongson2 boards. Fix from Aaro Koskinen restores the correct initialization ordering there. - Fix breakage resulting from a mistake made in 3.9 and causing the detection of some graphics adapters (that were detected correctly before) to fail. There are two objects representing the same PCIe port in the affected systems' ACPI tables and both appear as "enabled" and we are expected to guess which one to use. We used to choose the right one before by pure luck, but when we tried to address another similar corner case, the luck went away. This time we try to make our guessing a bit more educated which is reported to work on those systems. - The /proc/acpi/wakeup interface code is missing some locking which may lead to breakage if that file is written or read during hotplug of wakeup devices. That should be rare but still possible, so it's better to start using the appropriate locking there. * tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI: Try harder to resolve _ADR collisions for bridges cpufreq: rename ignore_nice as ignore_nice_load cpufreq: loongson2: fix regression related to clock management ACPI / processor: move try_offline_node() after acpi_unmap_lsapic() ACPI: Drop physical_node_id_bitmap from struct acpi_device ACPI / PM: Walk physical_node_list under physical_node_lock ACPI / video: improve quirk check in acpi_video_bqc_quirk()

device_close()->recalc_sigpending() is not needed, sigprocmask() takes care of TIF_SIGPENDING correctly. And without ->siglock it is racy and wrong, it can wrongly clear TIF_SIGPENDING and miss a signal. But even with this patch device_close() is still buggy: 1. sigprocmask() should not be used, we have set_task_blocked(), but this is minor. 2. We should never block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP, and this is what the code tries to do. 3. This can't protect against SIGKILL or SIGSTOP anyway. Another thread can do signal_wake_up(), say, do_signal_stop() or complete_signal() or debugger. 4. sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, allsigs) doesn't necessarily clears TIF_SIGPENDING, say, freezing() or ->jobctl. 5. device_write() looks equally wrong by the same reason. Looks like, this tries to protect some wait_event_interruptible() logic from signals, it should be turned into uninterruptible wait. Or we need to implement something like signals_stop/start for such a use-case. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit 407a2c2a. Explanation provided by Benjamin Tissoires: Commit "HID: hid-logitech-dj, querying_devices was never set" activate a flag which guarantees that we do not ask the receiver for too many enumeration. When the flag is set, each following enumeration call is discarded (the usb request is not forwarded to the receiver). The flag is then released when the driver receive a pairing information event, which normally follows the enumeration request. However, the USB3 bug makes the driver think the enumeration request has been forwarded to the receiver. However, it is actually not the case because the USB stack returns -EPIPE. So, when a new unknown device appears, the workaround consisting in asking for a new enumeration is not working anymore: this new enumeration is discarded because of the flag, which is never reset. A solution could be to trigger a timeout before releasing it, but for now, let's just revert the patch.

If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began. Any changes to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort handler. Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR. If we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the checkpointed versions of these SPRs. This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code. Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in __switch_to. It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this. We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path. We are going to do this in a subsequent patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a transaction.

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11. DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes). Currently, we allow this by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot. Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit). This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially. If a process then accesses the DSCR (via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in facility_unavailable_exception(). We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on the thread.dscr_inherit.
