Pull libata fixes from Jeff Garzik: "If you were going to shoot me for not sending these earlier, you would be right. -rc6 beat me by ~2 hours it seems, and they really should have gone out long before that. These have been in libata-dev.git for a day or so (unfortunately linux-next is on vacation). The main one is #1, with the others being minor bits. #1 has multiple tested-by, and can be considered a regression fix IMO. 1) Fix ACPI oops: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48211 2) Temporary WARN_ONCE() debugging patch for further ACPI debugging. The code already oopses here, and so this merely gives slightly better info. Related to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49151 which has been bisected down to a patch that _exposes_ a latest bug, but said bisection target does not actually appear to be the root cause itself. 3) sata_svw: fix longstanding error recovery bug, which was preventing kdump, by adding missing DMA-start bit check. Core code was already checking DMA-start, but ancillary, less-used routines were not.

The sigaddset/sigdelset/sigismember functions that are implemented with bitfield insn cannot allow the sigset argument to be placed in a data register since the sigset is wider than 32 bits. Remove the "d" constraint from the asm statements. The effect of the bug is that sending RT signals does not work, the signal number is truncated modulo 32.

The driver has both SPI and I2C pieces. The appropriate pieces are built based on whether SPI and/or I2C is/are enabled. However, it was only checking if I2C was built-in, never if it was built as a module. This patch checks for either since building both this driver and I2C as modules is possible.

Error handling in xfs_buf_ioapply_map() does not handle IO reference counts correctly. We increment the b_io_remaining count before building the bio, but then fail to decrement it in the failure case. This leads to the buffer never running IO completion and releasing the reference that the IO holds, so at unmount we can leak the buffer. This leak is captured by this assert failure during unmount: XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 273 This is not a new bug - the b_io_remaining accounting has had this problem for a long, long time - it's just very hard to get a zero length bio being built by this code... Further, the buffer IO error can be overwritten on a multi-segment buffer by subsequent bio completions for partial sections of the buffer. Hence we should only set the buffer error status if the buffer is not already carrying an error status. This ensures that a partial IO error on a multi-segment buffer will not be lost. This part of the problem is a regression, however. cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

When we shut down the filesystem, it might first be detected in writeback when we are allocating a inode size transaction. This happens after we have moved all the pages into the writeback state and unlocked them. Unfortunately, if we fail to set up the transaction we then abort writeback and try to invalidate the current page. This then triggers are BUG() in block_invalidatepage() because we are trying to invalidate an unlocked page. Fixing this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem - we can't allocate the transaction until we've clustered all the pages into the IO and we know the size of it (i.e. whether the last block of the IO is beyond the current EOF or not). However, we don't want to hold pages locked for long periods of time, especially while we lock other pages to cluster them into the write. To fix this, we need to make a clear delineation in writeback where errors can only be handled by IO completion processing. That is, once we have marked a page for writeback and unlocked it, we have to report errors via IO completion because we've already started the IO. We may not have submitted any IO, but we've changed the page state to indicate that it is under IO so we must now use the IO completion path to report errors. To do this, add an error field to xfs_submit_ioend() to pass it the error that occurred during the building on the ioend chain. When this is non-zero, mark each ioend with the error and call xfs_finish_ioend() directly rather than building bios. This will immediately push the ioends through completion processing with the error that has occurred.

In certain circumstances, a double split of an attribute tree is needed to insert or replace an attribute. In rare situations, this can go wrong, leaving the attribute tree corrupted. In this case, the attr being replaced is the last attr in a leaf node, and the replacement is larger so doesn't fit in the same leaf node. When we have the initial condition of a node format attribute btree with two leaves at index 1 and 2. Call them L1 and L2. The leaf L1 is completely full, there is not a single byte of free space in it. L2 is mostly empty. The attribute being replaced - call it X - is the last attribute in L1. The way an attribute replace is executed is that the replacement attribute - call it Y - is first inserted into the tree, but has an INCOMPLETE flag set on it so that list traversals ignore it. Once this transaction is committed, a second transaction it run to atomically mark Y as COMPLETE and X as INCOMPLETE, so that a traversal will now find Y and skip X. Once that transaction is committed, attribute X is then removed. So, the initial condition is: +--------+ +--------+ | L1 | | L2 | | fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 | | bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 | | fsp: 0 | | fsp: N | |--------| |--------| | attr A | | attr 1 | |--------| |--------| | attr B | | attr 2 | |--------| |--------| .......... .......... |--------| |--------| | attr X | | attr n | +--------+ +--------+ So now we go to replace X, and see that L1:fsp = 0 - it is full so we can't insert Y in the same leaf. So we record the the location of attribute X so we can track it for later use, then we split L1 into L1 and L3 and reblance across the two leafs. We end with: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ | L1 | | L3 | | L2 | | fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 | | bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 3 | | fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: N | |--------| |--------| |--------| | attr A | | attr X | | attr 1 | |--------| +--------+ |--------| | attr B | | attr 2 | |--------| |--------| .......... .......... |--------| |--------| | attr W | | attr n | +--------+ +--------+ And we track that the original attribute is now at L3:0. We then try to insert Y into L1 again, and find that there isn't enough room because the new attribute is larger than the old one. Hence we have to split again to make room for Y. We end up with this: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ | L1 | | L4 | | L3 | | L2 | | fwd: 4 |---->| fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 | | bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 4 |<----| bwd: 3 | | fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: J | | fsp: N | |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| | attr A | | attr Y | | attr X | | attr 1 | |--------| + INCOMP + +--------+ |--------| | attr B | +--------+ | attr 2 | |--------| |--------| .......... .......... |--------| |--------| | attr W | | attr n | +--------+ +--------+ And now we have the new (incomplete) attribute @ L4:0, and the original attribute at L3:0. At this point, the first transaction is committed, and we move to the flipping of the flags. This is where we are supposed to end up with this: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ | L1 | | L4 | | L3 | | L2 | | fwd: 4 |---->| fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 | | bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 4 |<----| bwd: 3 | | fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: J | | fsp: N | |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| | attr A | | attr Y | | attr X | | attr 1 | |--------| +--------+ + INCOMP + |--------| | attr B | +--------+ | attr 2 | |--------| |--------| .......... .......... |--------| |--------| | attr W | | attr n | +--------+ +--------+ But that doesn't happen properly - the attribute tracking indexes are not pointing to the right locations. What we end up with is both the old attribute to be removed pointing at L4:0 and the new attribute at L4:1. On a debug kernel, this assert fails like so: XFS: Assertion failed: args->index2 < be16_to_cpu(leaf2->hdr.count), file: fs/xfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c, line: 2725 because the new attribute location does not exist. On a production kernel, this goes unnoticed and the code proceeds ahead merrily and removes L4 because it thinks that is the block that is no longer needed. This leaves the hash index node pointing to entries L1, L4 and L2, but only blocks L1, L3 and L2 to exist. Further, the leaf level sibling list is L1 <-> L4 <-> L2, but L4 is now free space, and so everything is busted. This corruption is caused by the removal of the old attribute triggering a join - it joins everything correctly but then frees the wrong block. xfs_repair will report something like: bad sibling back pointer for block 4 in attribute fork for inode 131 problem with attribute contents in inode 131 would clear attr fork bad nblocks 8 for inode 131, would reset to 3 bad anextents 4 for inode 131, would reset to 0 The problem lies in the assignment of the old/new blocks for tracking purposes when the double leaf split occurs. The first split tries to place the new attribute inside the current leaf (i.e. "inleaf == true") and moves the old attribute (X) to the new block. This sets up the old block/index to L1:X, and newly allocated block to L3:0. It then moves attr X to the new block and tries to insert attr Y at the old index. That fails, so it splits again. With the second split, the rebalance ends up placing the new attr in the second new block - L4:0 - and this is where the code goes wrong. What is does is it sets both the new and old block index to the second new block. Hence it inserts attr Y at the right place (L4:0) but overwrites the current location of the attr to replace that is held in the new block index (currently L3:0). It over writes it with L4:1 - the index we later assert fail on. Hopefully this table will show this in a foramt that is a bit easier to understand: Split old attr index new attr index vanilla patched vanilla patched before 1st L1:26 L1:26 N/A N/A after 1st L3:0 L3:0 L1:26 L1:26 after 2nd L4:0 L3:0 L4:1 L4:0 ^^^^ ^^^^ wrong wrong The fix is surprisingly simple, for all this analysis - just stop the rebalance on the out-of leaf case from overwriting the new attr index - it's already correct for the double split case.

Revert commit 7f1290f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero. Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular race between swapout and eviction. It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(), and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting the BUG. One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether, but previous attempts at that failed. So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the linear mapping if appropriate. Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page. This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

Jiri Slaby reported the following: (It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h, I would say, it's gone. The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane compromise. When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when the patch was developed. Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the problem instead of fixing it. The release window gets closer and while a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot of CPU is. This patch reverts commit 83fde0f2 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be revisited in the future.

When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option), when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.) But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60 IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60 Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0) Call Trace: __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100 __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130 lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40 ... The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone. So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases. Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec. Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better proofed against future changes this way. I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5 (now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no answer when I enquired twice before.

oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.

do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were initialized and, if so, may call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() with these values. This doesn't prevent gcc from emitting a build warning though: mm/memory.c: In function `do_wp_page': mm/memory.c:2530: warning: `mmun_start' may be used uninitialized in this function mm/memory.c:2531: warning: `mmun_end' may be used uninitialized in this function It's much easier to initialize the variables to impossible values and do a simple comparison to determine if they were initialized to remove the bool entirely.

Use a straightforward switch statement instead, the compiler emits essentially the same code but without the missing range check. From Xi Wang. 6) Fix when we call tcp_replace_ts_recent() otherwise we can erroneously accept a too-high tsval.

John W. Linville says: ==================== This batch of fixes is intended for the 3.7 stream... This includes a pull of the Bluetooth tree. Gustavo says: "A few important fixes to go into 3.7. There is a new hw support by Marcos Chaparro. Johan added a memory leak fix and hci device index list fix. Also Marcel fixed a race condition in the device set up that was prevent the bt monitor to work properly. Last, Paulo Sérgio added a fix to the error status when pairing for LE fails. This was prevent userspace to work to handle the failure properly." Regarding the mac80211 pull, Johannes says: "I have a locking fix for some SKB queues, a variable initialization to avoid crashes in a certain failure case, another free_txskb fix from Felix and another fix from him to avoid calling a stopped driver, a fix for a (very unlikely) memory leak and a fix to not send null data packets when resuming while not associated." Regarding the iwlwifi pull, Johannes says: "Two more fixes for iwlwifi ... one to use ieee80211_free_txskb(), and one to check DMA mapping errors, please pull." On top of that, Johannes also included a wireless regulatory fix to allow 40 MHz on channels 12 and 13 in world roaming mode. Also, Hauke Mehrtens fixes a #ifdef typo in brcmfmac. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Included fixes are: - update the client entry status flags when using the "early client detection". This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work; - transfer the client entry status flags when recovering the translation table from another node. This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work; - prevent the "early client detection mechanism" to add clients belonging to other backbone nodes in the same LAN. This breaks connectivity when using this mechanism together with the Bridge Loop Avoidance - process broadcast packets with the Bridge Loop Avoidance before any other component. BLA can possibly drop the packets based on the source address. This makes the "early client detection mechanism" correctly work when used with BLA. Signed-off-by: David S.

This is mostly a revert of 01dc52eb ("oom: remove deprecated oom_adj") from Davidlohr Bueso. It reintroduces /proc/pid/oom_adj for backwards compatibility with earlier kernels. It simply scales the value linearly when /proc/pid/oom_score_adj is written. The major difference is that its scheduled removal is no longer included in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. We do warn users with a single printk, though, to suggest the more powerful and supported /proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface. Reported-by: Artem S.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson: "We've been sitting on this longer than we meant to due to travel and other activities, but the number of patches is luckily not that high. Biggest changes are from a batch of OMAP bugfixes, but there are a few for the broader set of SoCs too (bcm2835, pxa, highbank, tegra, at91 and i.MX). The OMAP patches contain some fixes for MUSB/PHY on omap4 which ends up being a bit on the large side but needed for legacy (non-DT) platforms. Beyond that there are a handful of hwmod/pm changes. So, fairly noncontroversial stuff all in all, and as usual around this time the fixes are well targeted at specific problems." * tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: ARM: imx: ehci: fix host power mask bit ARM i.MX: fix error-valued pointer dereference in clk_register_gate2() ARM: at91/usbh: fix overcurrent gpio setup ARM: at91/AT91SAM9G45: fix crypto peripherals irq issue due to sparse irq support ARM: boot: Fix usage of kecho ARM: OMAP: ocp2scp: create omap device for ocp2scp ARM: OMAP4: add _dev_attr_ to ocp2scp for representing usb_phy drivers: bus: ocp2scp: add pdata support irqchip: irq-bcm2835: Add terminating entry for of_device_id table ARM: highbank: retry wfi on reset request ARM: OMAP4: PM: fix regulator name for VDD_MPU ARM: OMAP4: hwmod data: do not enable or reset the McPDM during kernel init ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: add flag to prevent hwmod code from touching IP block during init ARM: dt: tegra: fix length of pad control and mux registers ARM: OMAP: hwmod: wait for sysreset complete after enabling hwmod ARM: OMAP2+: clockdomain: Fix OMAP4 ISS clk domain to support only SWSUP ARM: pxa/spitz_pm: Fix hang when resuming from STR ARM: pxa: hx4700: Fix backlight PWM device number ARM: OMAP2+: PM: add missing newline to VC warning message

On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN (privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from (including user mappings) have the PXN bit set.
