syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning. Commit ee24aebf ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now") improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a recent kernel. Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

This reverts commit 8521fc50. The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit operations is sufficient but that is not true.

The cache is already cleaned up, though. There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 mem=stock->cached stock->cached=NULL clear_bit test_and_set_bit test_bit() ... <preempted> mem_cgroup_destroy use after free The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining is exclusive. It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel implementation later.

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from __slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot of switching around of per cpu slabs occur. Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are enabled.

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area. If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes() doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below. value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24; value64 = value64 | value64 << 32; The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and the second line has no effect. This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

The previous comit made the autofs4 debug printouts check types against the printout format, and uncovered this bug: fs/autofs4/waitq.c:106:2: warning: format ‘%08lx’ expects type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘autofs_wqt_t’ which is due to the insane type for wait_queue_token. That thing should be some fixed well-defined size (preferably just 'unsigned int' or 'u32') but for unexplained reasons it is randomly either 'unsigned long' or 'unsigned int' depending on the architecture. For now, cast it to 'unsigned long' for printing, the way we do elsewhere. Somebody else can try to explain the typedef mess. (There's a reason we don't support excessive use of typedefs in the kernel: it's usually just a good way of confusing yourself). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Since commit 1eb19a12 ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1"), the ARM SHA1 routines no longer work. The reason? They depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is just 16 words (64 bytes). So the assembly version would overwrite the stack randomly. The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved C version, so there's no reason to keep it around. At least that was the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code was faster.
