      Commit 80bba129 removed one necessary
variable initialization.  As a result following warning happened:

More unfortunately, if find_vma() failed, kernel read uninitialized

      powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Fix MSI after kexec · 23e0e8af
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      Commit d015fe99 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.

The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer.  We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it.  On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.

With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid.  If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.

The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it.  This now works correctly, as
expected.

      powerpc: Fix bootmem reservation on uninitialized node · a4c74ddd
      Dave Hansen authored 
      careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
bug:  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/  So, I merged a
few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it.  That changed
the code ordering.

I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents.  In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid.  We do this since I reordered that loop.  I suck.

This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.

This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved.  But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.

This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
an unused variable.

      powerpc: Check for valid hugepage size in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area · 48f797de
      Brian King authored 
      It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not.  If we get into
the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel.  This
fixes the oops being seen in this path.

      cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remount · 307257cf
      Paul Menage authored 
      When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).

Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.

The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups.  This
bug can be reproduced via:

mkdir /mnt/cg
mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
mkdir /mnt/cg/foo
sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo &
rmdir /mnt/cg/foo
mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
kill $!

Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug
can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops)

      Frederik Deweerdt authored 
      Part of the rfkill initialization was done whenever BT was on or not.  The
following patch checks for BT presence before registering the rfkill to

      slob: do not pass the SLAB flags as GFP in kmem_cache_create() · 5e18e2b8
      Catalin Marinas authored 
      The kmem_cache_create() function in the slob allocator passes the SLAB
flags as GFP flags to the slob_alloc() function.  The patch changes this
call to pass GFP_KERNEL as the other allocators seem to do.
