      ASoC: fsl: imx-pcm-fiq: remove bogus period delta calculation · 68f9672b
      Oskar Schirmer authored 
      Originally snd_hrtimer_callback() used iprtd->period_time for
some jiffies based estimation to determine the right moment
to call snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). As timer drifts may well be a
problem, this was changed in commit b4e82b5b to be based
on buffer transmission progress, using iprtd->offset and
runtime->buffer_size to calculate the amount of data since last
period had elapsed.

Unfortunately, iprtd->offset counts in bytes, while
runtime->buffer_size counts frames, so adding these to find some
delta is like comparing apples and oranges, and eventually results
in negative delta values every now and then. This is no big harm,
because it simply causes snd_pcm_period_elapsed() being called
more often than necessary, as negative delta is taken for a
large unsigned value by implicit conversion rule.
Nonetheless, the calculation is broken, so one would replace
the runtime->buffer_size by its equivalent in bytes.

But then, there are chances snd_pcm_period_elapsed() is called
late, because calculating the moment for the elapsed period
into delta is based against the iprtd->last_offset, which is not
necessarily the first byte of the period in question, but some
random byte which the FIQ handler left us with in r8/r9 by
accident. Again, negative impact is low, as there are plenty of
periods already prefilled with data, and snd_pcm_period_elapsed()
will probably be called latest when the following period is
reached. However, the calculation is conceptually broken, and we
are best off removing the clever stuff altogether.

snd_pcm_period_elapsed() is now simply called once everytime
snd_hrtimer_callback() is run, which may not be most accurate,
but at least this way we are quite sure we dont miss an end of
period. There is not much extra effort wasted by superfluous
calls to snd_pcm_period_elapsed(), as the timer frequency
closely matches the period size anyway.

      lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page · 3d77b50c
      Ming Lei authored 
      Commit b1adaf65 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:

 - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
   block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
   finally

 - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
   on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.

 - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
   mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
   slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.

Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

      mm: memcg: fix test for child groups · 696ac172
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
not.

Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
memcg callers.  This results in the following splat when e.g.  enabling
hierarchy mode:

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160()
  CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5-00117-g83f11a9c-dirty #18
  Hardware name: LENOVO 3680B56/3680B56, BIOS 6QET69WW (1.39 ) 04/26/2012
  Call Trace:

In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
modify inheritable attributes interactively.  Racing with deletion could
mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem.  Racing with addition is handled
just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

      mm: memcg: lockdep annotation for memcg OOM lock · 0056f4e6
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      The memcg OOM lock is a mutex-type lock that is open-coded due to
memcg's special needs.  Add annotations for lockdep coverage.

      mm: memcg: use proper memcg in limit bypass · 3168ecbe
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Commit 84235de3 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the
allocator") allowed __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to bypass the limit if they
fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge.  But because the main test
case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer
kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when
bypassing the limit, and not NULL.  This will corrupt whatever memory is
at NULL + percpu pointer offset.  Fix this quickly before problems are
reported.
