Pull device-mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: "A few fixes for dm-snapshot, a 32 bit fix for dm-stats, a couple error handling fixes for dm-multipath. A fix for the thin provisioning target to not expose non-zero discard limits if discards are disabled. Lastly, add two DM module parameters which allow users to tune the emergency memory reserves that DM mainatins per device -- this helps fix a long-standing issue for dm-multipath. The conservative default reserve for request-based dm-multipath devices (256) has proven problematic for users with many multipathed SCSI devices but relatively little memory. To responsibly select a smaller value users should use the new nr_bios tracepoint info (via commit 75afb352 "block: Add nr_bios to block_rq_remap tracepoint") to determine the peak number of bios their workloads create" * tag 'dm-3.12-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm: add reserved_bio_based_ios module parameter dm: add reserved_rq_based_ios module parameter dm: lower bio-based mempool reservation dm thin: do not expose non-zero discard limits if discards disabled dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails dm-snapshot: fix performance degradation due to small hash size dm snapshot: workaround for a false positive lockdep warning dm stats: fix possible counter corruption on 32-bit systems dm mpath: do not fail path on -ENOSPC

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here are a few things for -rc2, this time it's all written by me so it can only be perfect .... right ? :) So we have the fix to call irq_enter/exit on the irq stack we've been discussing, plus a cleanup on top to remove an unused (and broken) stack limit tracking feature (well, make it 32-bit only in fact where it is used and works properly). Then we have two things that I wrote over the last couple of days and made the executive decision to include just because I can (and I'm sure you won't object .... right ?). They fix a couple of annoying and long standing "issues": - We had separate zImages for when booting via Open Firmware vs. booting via a flat device-tree, while it's trivial to make one that deals with both - We wasted a ton of cycles spinning secondary CPUs uselessly at boot instead of starting them when needed on pseries, thus contributing significantly to global warming" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/pseries: Do not start secondaries in Open Firmware powerpc/zImage: make the "OF" wrapper support ePAPR boot powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64 powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack

The check cpu_needs_post_dma_flush() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() and the check !plat_device_is_coherent() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_device() can be moved outside the for loop. As a side effect, this also avoids a GCC bug that caused kernel compile to fail with the error: arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c: In function 'mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu': arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c:316:1: internal compiler error: in add_insn_before, at emit-rtl.c:3852 This gcc failure is seen in Code Sourcery toolchains [e.g. gcc version 4.7.2 (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.09-99)] after commit "MIPS: Optimize current_cpu_type() for better code."

We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for detecting stack overflows. It has a few problems however: - First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but not actually exploited - When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit. Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.

Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated softirq stack. This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to the irq stack. This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the kernel.

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the watchdog is enabled. So far so good. But... But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler? proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback (watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it has been set up. This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious lockup. This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and hrtimers if the threshold value has changed. The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before. It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context. The update from the current CPU should be safe because perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler feet. The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the treshold is decreased).

proc_dowatchdog doesn't synchronize multiple callers which might lead to confusion when two parallel callers might confuse watchdog_enable_all_cpus resp watchdog_disable_all_cpus (eg watchdog gets enabled even if watchdog_thresh was set to 0 already).

Merge bcache fixes from Kent Overstreet: "There's fixes for _three_ different data corruption bugs, all of which were found by users hitting them in the wild. The first one isn't bcache specific - in 3.11 bcache was switched to the bio_copy_data in fs/bio.c, and that's when the bug in that code was discovered, but it's also used by raid1 and pktcdvd. (That was my code too, so the bug's doubly embarassing given that it was or should've been just a cut and paste from bcache code. Dunno what happened there). Most of these (all the non data corruption bugs, actually) were ready before the merge window and have been sitting in Jens' tree, but I don't know what's been up with him lately..." * emailed patches from Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>: bcache: Fix flushes in writeback mode bcache: Fix for handling overlapping extents when reading in a btree node bcache: Fix a shrinker deadlock bcache: Fix a dumb CPU spinning bug in writeback bcache: Fix a flush/fua performance bug bcache: Fix a writeback performance regression bcache: Correct printf()-style format length modifier bcache: Fix for when no journal entries are found bcache: Strip endline when writing the label through sysfs bcache: Fix a dumb journal discard bug block: Fix bio_copy_data()

In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we issue a flush to the backing device. The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush, and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need to send a flush to the backing device. This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.

btree_sort_fixup() was overly clever, because it was trying to avoid pulling a key off the btree iterator in more than one place. This led to a really obscure bug where we'd break early from the loop in btree_sort_fixup() if the current key overlapped with keys in more than one older set, and the next key it overlapped with was zero size.

Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in the keybuf writing it to the backing device. When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes locks that starves foreground IO.
