      dcache: add missing lockdep annotation · 9f12600f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and
      is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first).  But because
      it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be
      a deadlock on d_lock, and complained.
      
      Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to
      make lockdep happy.
      
      Introduced by commit 046b961b ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's
      ->d_lock earlier").

          drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset
      
      which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14.
      
      Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to
      drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op
      previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does
      this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF.
      But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly
      resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on.
      
      This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that
      radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display,
      through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par,
      which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen.
      
      Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this
      by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum
      functions.
      
      v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

      x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K · 6538b8ea
      Minchan Kim authored
      While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
      3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.
      
      When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
      by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.
      
      I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
      so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
      overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.
      
      Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
      stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
      lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
      agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
      and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
      meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
      while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
      already expaned to 16K. )
      
      So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
      toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
      For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
      and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
      Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
      chance to think over it.
      
      I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
      strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
      knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
      maintainers.
      
      Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:
      
               Depth    Size   Location    (51 entries)

      [ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to
        generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
        temporaries and generating too many spills.  Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
        35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.
      
        Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
        some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
        what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
        clearly getting too close.
      
        The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
        same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
        function arguments.
      
        We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
        simple stack increase too.  Unlike most earlier reports, there is
        nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
        apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
        should need to be.        - Linus ]

      We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where
      we are dropping references to ancestors.  Same solution, basically -
      instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the
      previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count
      (in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock
      and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock
      the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.

      The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on
      dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use
      trylock on the parent's one.  d_walk() takes them in the right
      order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation
      when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock
      keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop()
      keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's
      waiting for.
      
      Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock
      the dentry itself and take locks in the right order.  We need to
      stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable
      using RCU.  And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the
      loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc.
      would need to be redone anyway.
      
      That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the
      shrink list itself.  Another one (dropping their parents) is
      in the next commit.
      
      locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(),
      lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check
      if the parent is still the right one.  Except that we need to check
      that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock
      out of order.  Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if
      D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent
      can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking
      D1->d_lock is enough.  In other words, the right solution is
      rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's
      still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

        Specifics:
      
         - A workqueue is destroyed too early during the ACPI thermal driver
           module unload which leads to a NULL pointer dereference in the
           driver's remove callback.  Fix from Aaron Lu.
      
         - A wrong argument is passed to devm_regulator_get_optional() in the
           probe routine of the cpu0 cpufreq driver which leads to resource
           leaks if the driver is unbound from the cpufreq platform device.
           Fix from Lucas Stach.
      
         - A lock is missing in cpufreq_governor_dbs() which leads to memory
           corruption and NULL pointer dereferences during system

      firewire: revert to 4 GB RDMA, fix protocols using Memory Space · 2fe2023a
      Stefan Richter authored
      Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34
      "firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB".  That change raised the
      minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register
      for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000.
      It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which
      uses lower addresses:  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921
      
      For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34 so that affected
      protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before.  Just keep the valid
      documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to
      identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit
      physical DMA addresses.  The rest of fcd46b34 should probably be
      brought back as an optional instead of default feature.

      arm64: mm: fix pmd_write CoW brokenness · ceb21835
      Will Deacon authored
      Commit 9c7e535f ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte
      equivalents") changed the pmd manipulator and accessor functions to
      convert the target pmd to a pte, process it with the pte functions, then
      convert it back. Along the way, we gained support for PTE_WRITE, however
      this is completely ignored by set_pmd_at, and so we fail to set the
      PMD_SECT_RDONLY for PMDs, resulting in all sorts of lovely failures (like
      CoW not working).
      
      Partially reverting the offending commit (by making use of
      PMD_SECT_RDONLY explicitly for pmd_{write,wrprotect,mkwrite} functions)
      leads to further issues because pmd_write can then return potentially
      incorrect values for page table entries marked as RDONLY, leading to
      BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) tripping under some THP workloads.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by routing set_pmd_at through set_pte_at,
      which correctly takes the PTE_WRITE flag into account. Given that
      THP mappings are always anonymous, the additional cache-flushing code
      in __sync_icache_dcache won't impose any significant overhead as the
      flush will be skipped.
