      sh: pfc: Rudimentary pinctrl-backed GPIO support. · ca5481c6
      Paul Mundt authored
      This begins the migration of the PFC core to the pinctrl subsystem.
      Initial support is very basic, with the bulk of the implementation simply
      being nopped out in such a way to allow registration with the pinctrl
      core to succeed.
      
      The gpio chip driver is stripped down considerably now relying purely on
      pinctrl API calls to manage the bulk of its operations.
      
      This provides a basis for further PFC refactoring, including decoupling
      pin functions from the GPIO API, establishing pin groups, and so forth.
      These will all be dealt with incrementally so as to introduce as few
      growing and migratory pains to tree-wide PFC pinmux users today.
      
      When the interfaces have been well established and in-tree users have
      been migrated off of the legacy interfaces it will be possible to strip
      down the core considerably, leading to eventual drivers/pinctrl rehoming.

      sh: pfc: Dumb GPIO stringification. · 72c7afa1
      Paul Mundt authored
      This implements fairly simplistic stringification of existing pinmux
      GPIOs for easy enum id -> string mapping, which will subsequently be used
      by the pinctrl support code.

      Paul Mundt authored
      This follows the intc/clk changes and shuffles the PFC support code under
      its own directory. This will facilitate better code sharing, and allow us
      to trim down the exported interface by quite a margin.

      virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use · 9c378abc
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      Since ee7cd898 'virtio: expose added
      descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
      now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick.  I audited both and this
      seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
      Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
      virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
      racy.
      
      While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
      easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
      (mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

      Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "The previous cgroup pull request contained a patch to fix a race
        condition during cgroup hierarchy umount.  Unfortunately, while the
        patch reduced the race window such that the test case I and Sasha were
        using didn't trigger it anymore, it wasn't complete - Shyju and Li
        could reliably trigger the race condition using a different test case.
      
        The problem wasn't the gap between dentry deletion and release which
        the previous patch tried to fix.  The window was between the last
        dput() of a root's child and the resulting dput() of the root.  For
        cgroup dentries, the deletion and release always happen synchronously.
        As this releases the s_active ref, the refcnt of the root dentry,
        which doesn't hold s_active, stays above zero without the
        corresponding s_active.  If umount was in progress, the last
        deactivate_super() proceeds to destory the superblock and triggers
        BUG() on the non-zero root dentry refcnt after shrinking.
      
        This issue surfaced because cgroup dentries are now allowed to linger
        after rmdir(2) since 3.5-rc1.  Before, rmdir synchronously drained the
        dentry refcnt and the s_active acquired by rmdir from vfs layer
        protected the whole thing.  After 3.5-rc1, cgroup may internally hold
        and put dentry refs after rmdir finishes and the delayed dput()
        doesn't have surrounding s_active ref exposing this issue.
      
        This pull request contains two patches - one reverting the previous
        incorrect fix and the other adding the surrounding s_active ref around
        the delayed dput().
      
        This is quite late in the release cycle but the change is on the safer
        side and fixes the test cases reliably, so I don't think it's too
        crazy."

      vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fchdir()' · 332a2e12
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to
      be able to use O_PATH file descriptors.  This should make it comparable
      to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.  In particular, O_PATH allows you to access
      (not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only
      execute permission.
      
      Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

      cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race · 5db9a4d9
      Tejun Heo authored
      48ddbe19 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
      optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
      removed.  As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
      that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
      
      Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
      critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code.  As each cgroup dentry
      holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
      and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
      superblock.
      
      Unfortunately, after 48ddbe19, there's a small window while
      releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
      When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
      corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
      recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
      released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
      it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
      
      This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
      superblock's s_active is.  If umount happens before or during this
      window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
      BUG().
      
      Before 48ddbe19, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
      reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
      invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
      
      Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
      dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe19
      and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
      final cgroup dput().

      Tejun Heo authored
      This reverts commit fa980ca8.  The
      commit was an attempt to fix a race condition where a cgroup hierarchy
      may be unmounted with positive dentry reference on root cgroup.  While
      the commit made the race condition slightly more difficult to trigger,
      the race was still there and could be reliably triggered using a
      different test case.
      
      Revert the incorrect fix.  The next commit will describe the race and
      fix it correctly.

      hwspinlock/core: use global ID to register hwspinlocks on multiple devices · 476a7eeb
      Shinya Kuribayashi authored
      Commit 300bab97 (hwspinlock/core: register a bank of hwspinlocks in a
      single API call, 2011-09-06) introduced 'hwspin_lock_register_single()'
      to register numerous (a bank of) hwspinlock instances in a single API,
      'hwspin_lock_register()'.
      
      At which time, 'hwspin_lock_register()' accidentally passes 'local IDs'
      to 'hwspin_lock_register_single()', despite that ..._single() requires
      'global IDs' to register hwspinlocks.
      
      We have to convert into global IDs by supplying the missing 'base_id'.
