      The reason is the incorrect assumption in fpu_copy(), that FNSAVE
      can be executed from math-emu kernels as well.
      
      Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied
      by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's
      soft math state.
      
      With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern
      hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.

      x86/fpu/math-emu: Fix math-emu boot crash · 5fc96038

      On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs:

      	 [<c1b542b4>] i386_start_kernel+0x82/0x86
      
      The reason is that in the following commit:
      
        b1276c48 ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()")
      
      I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the
      FNINIT instruction in kernel mode.
      
      The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel
      mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly)
      fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to
      the FPU emulator.

      Christoph Hellwig authored
      While the idea behind get_maintainer seems highly useful it's
      unfortunately way to trigger happy to grab people that once had a few
      commits to files.  For someone like me who does a lot of tree-wide API
      work that leads to an incredible amount of Cc spam.

      mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust · 2f064f34
      Michal Hocko authored
      Commit c48a11c7 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
      checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():
      
              if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
                      skb->pfmemalloc = true;
      
      It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
      trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
      to NULL and leave page->index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
      non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.
      
      So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
      And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
      setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
      going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
      interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
      packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
      be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
      that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
      server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.
      
      The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
      hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
      again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
      index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
      users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
      nastiness from unspoiled eyes.
      
      The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
      obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
      that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
      really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).
