      xen/pvh: Indicate XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted to Xen · a5a18ae7
      Boris Ostrovsky authored
      Pre-4.17 kernels ignored start_info's rsdp_paddr pointer and instead
      relied on finding RSDP in standard location in BIOS RO memory. This
      has worked since that's where Xen used to place it.
      
      However, with recent Xen change (commit 4a5733771e6f ("libxl: put RSDP
      for PVH guest near 4GB")) it prefers to keep RSDP at a "non-standard"
      address. Even though as of commit b17d9d1d ("x86/xen: Add pvh
      specific rsdp address retrieval function") Linux is able to find RSDP,
      for back-compatibility reasons we need to indicate to Xen that we can
      handle this, an we do so by setting XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted
      flag in ELF notes.
      
      (Also take this opportunity and sync features.h header file with Xen)

      parisc: Handle case where flush_cache_range is called with no context · 9ef0f88f
      John David Anglin authored
      Just when I had decided that flush_cache_range() was always called with
      a valid context, Helge reported two cases where the
      "BUG_ON(!vma->vm_mm->context);" was hit on the phantom buildd:

      This indicates that we need to handle the no context case in
      flush_cache_range() as we do in flush_cache_mm().
      
      In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB
      when there is no context.  So, I added context checks to the large flush
      cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range().  The large flush case
      occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork
      performance.
      
      The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page()
      by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context.  I also added code
      to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we
      have a context that's not current.  Now all three routines handle TLB
      flushes in a similar manner.

      fs: Teach path_connected to handle nfs filesystems with multiple roots. · 95dd7758
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      On nfsv2 and nfsv3 the nfs server can export subsets of the same
      filesystem and report the same filesystem identifier, so that the nfs
      client can know they are the same filesystem.  The subsets can be from
      disjoint directory trees.  The nfsv2 and nfsv3 filesystems provides no
      way to find the common root of all directory trees exported form the
      server with the same filesystem identifier.
      
      The practical result is that in struct super s_root for nfs s_root is
      not necessarily the root of the filesystem.  The nfs mount code sets
      s_root to the root of the first subset of the nfs filesystem that the
      kernel mounts.
      
      This effects the dcache invalidation code in generic_shutdown_super
      currently called shrunk_dcache_for_umount and that code for years
      has gone through an additional list of dentries that might be dentry
      trees that need to be freed to accomodate nfs.
      
      When I wrote path_connected I did not realize nfs was so special, and
      it's hueristic for avoiding calling is_subdir can fail.
      
      The practical case where this fails is when there is a move of a
      directory from the subtree exposed by one nfs mount to the subtree
      exposed by another nfs mount.  This move can happen either locally or
      remotely.  With the remote case requiring that the move directory be cached
      before the move and that after the move someone walks the path
      to where the move directory now exists and in so doing causes the
      already cached directory to be moved in the dcache through the magic
      of d_splice_alias.
      
      If someone whose working directory is in the move directory or a
      subdirectory and now starts calling .. from the initial mount of nfs
      (where s_root == mnt_root), then path_connected as a heuristic will
      not bother with the is_subdir check.  As s_root really is not the root
      of the nfs filesystem this heuristic is wrong, and the path may
      actually not be connected and path_connected can fail.
      
      The is_subdir function might be cheap enough that we can call it
      unconditionally.  Verifying that will take some benchmarking and
      the result may not be the same on all kernels this fix needs
      to be backported to.  So I am avoiding that for now.
      
      Filesystems with snapshots such as nilfs and btrfs do something
      similar.  But as the directory tree of the snapshots are disjoint
      from one another and from the main directory tree rename won't move
      things between them and this problem will not occur.
