      arm: mvebu: use global interrupts for GPIOs on Armada XP · 5f79c651
      Thomas Petazzoni authored 
      The Armada XP GPIO controller has two ways of notifying interrupts:
using global interrupts or using per-CPU interrupts. In an attempt to
use the best available features, the 'marvell,armadaxp-gpio'
compatible string selects a variant of the gpio-mvebu driver that
makes use of the per-CPU interrupts.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work properly in a SMP context, because we
fall into cases where the GPIO interrupt is enabled on CPU X at the
GPIO controller level, but on CPU Y at the interrupt controller
level. It is not yet clear how to fix that easily.

So for 3.8, our approach is to switch to global interrupts for GPIOs,
so that we do not fall into this per-CPU interrupts problem.

This patch therefore fixes GPIO interrupts on Armada XP
platforms. Without this patch, GPIO interrupts simply do not work
reliably, because their proper operation depends on which CPU the code
requesting the interrupt is running.

      tmpfs mempolicy: fix /proc/mounts corrupting memory · f2a07f40
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA
mempolicy testing.  Very nasty.  Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts
or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often
in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad
pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere
worse.  "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic.

Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35,
when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when
no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(),
which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags.
With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit
for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack.

mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context
is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code.
Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might
expect.  Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also,
the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not.
Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them
(that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects).

I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy:
it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation
in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL.  I believe this would be
much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements
throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly
empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node
variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL).
But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested.

      epoll: prevent missed events on EPOLL_CTL_MOD · 128dd175
      Eric Wong authored 
      EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to
ensure events are not missed.  Since the modifications to the interest
mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to
ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback.

We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past
events which occured before we modified the interest mask.  So this
barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper().

This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both)
will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.
