The aio cleanups and optimizations by kmo that were merged into the 3.10
tree added a regression for userspace event reaping. Specifically, the
reference counts are not decremented if the event is reaped in userspace,
leading to the application being unable to submit further aio requests.
This patch applies to 3.12+. A separate backport is required for 3.10/3.11.
This issue was uncovered as part of CVE-2014-0206.

When we SMB3 mounted with mapchars (to allow reserved characters : \ / > < * ?
via the Unicode Windows to POSIX remap range) empty paths
(eg when we open "" to query the root of the SMB3 directory on mount) were not
null terminated so we sent garbarge as a path name on empty paths which caused
SMB2/SMB2.1/SMB3 mounts to fail when mapchars was specified. mapchars is
particularly important since Unix Extensions for SMB3 are not supported (yet)

Commit 07e461cd7e
"of: Ensure unique names without sacrificing determinism"
caused a boot failure regression on the Integrator machines.
The problem is probably caused by fiddling too much with
the device tree population in the OF init function, such
as passing the SoC bus device as parent when populating
the device tree.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Avoiding to explicitly look up the tree root
- Look up devices needed before device population from
the match only, passing NULL as root
- Passing NULL as root and parent when calling
of_platform_populate()
After this the Integrators boot again. Tested on
Integrator/AP and Integrator/CP.

Wildcards in compatible strings should be avoid. "marvell,armada38x"
was recently introduced but was not yet used.
The armada 385 SoC is a superset of the armada 380 SoC (with more CPUs
and more PCIe slots). So this patch replaces the use of
"marvell,armada38x" by the "marvell,armada380" string.

In commit 721aeaa9 "Build little endian ppc64 kernel with ABIv2", we
missed some updates required in the kprobes code to make jprobes work
when the kernel is built with ABI v2.
Firstly update arch_deref_entry_point() to do the right thing. Now that
we have added ppc_global_function_entry() we can just always use that, it
will do the right thing for 32 & 64 bit and ABI v1 & v2.
Secondly we need to update the code that sets up the register state before
calling the jprobe handler. On ABI v1 we setup r2 to hold the TOC, on ABI
v2 we need to populate r12 with the function entry point address.

There is a bug in the handling of the function entry when we are nopping
out a branch from a module in ftrace.
We compare the result of module_trampoline_target() with the value of
ppc_function_entry(), and expect them to be true. But they never will
be.
module_trampoline_target() will always return the global entry point of
the function, whereas ppc_function_entry() will always return the local.
Fix it by using the newly added ppc_global_function_entry().

In commit 24a1bdc35, "Fix ABIv2 issues with __ftrace_make_call", Anton
changed the logic that creates and patches the branch, and added a
thinko in the check of create_branch(). create_branch() returns the
instruction that was generated, so if we get zero then it succeeded.
The result is we can't ftrace modules:
Branch out of range

In commit 24a1bdc35, "Fix ABIv2 issues with __ftrace_make_call", Anton

We missed the typo in the mask, 0xffff00000 should be 0xffff0000, which

ABIv2 has the concept of a global and local entry point to a function.
In most cases we are interested in the local entry point, and so that is
what ppc_function_entry() returns.
However we have a case in the ftrace code where we want the global entry
point, and there may be other places we need it too. Rather than special
casing each, add an accessor.
For ABIv1 and 32-bit there is only a single entry point, so we return
that. That means it's safe for the caller to use this without also
checking the ABI version.

is still queued for master assert. it may trigger BUG() as follows.
N1 N2
dlm_get_lockres()
->dlm_do_master_requery
is the master of lockres,
so queue assert_master work
dlm_thread() start running
and purge the lockres
dlm_assert_master_worker()
send assert master message
to other nodes
receiving the assert_master
message, set master to N2
dlmlock_remote() send create_lock message to N2, but receive DLM_IVLOCKID,
if it is RECOVERY lockres, it triggers the BUG().
Another BUG() is triggered when N3 become the new master and send
assert_master to N1, N1 will trigger the BUG() because owner doesn't
match. So we should not purge lockres when it is queued for assert
master.

migrate lockres1

send

init block mle
send

find a block

return
DLM_MIGRATE_RESPONSE_MASTERY_REF

umount successfully
try to umount, endless

So we can fix this endless loop case by only returning

When running dirop_fileop_racer we found a dead lock case.
2 nodes, say Node A and Node B, mount the same ocfs2 volume. Create
/race/16/1 in the filesystem, and let the inode number of dir 16 is less
than the inode number of dir race.
Node A Node B
mv /race/16/1 /race/
right after Node A has got the
EX mode of /race/16/, and tries to
get EX mode of /race
ls /race/16/
In this case, Node A has got the EX mode of /race/16/, and wants to get EX
mode of /race/. Node B has got the PR mode of /race/, and wants to get
the PR mode of /race/16/. Since EX and PR are mutually exclusive, dead
lock happens.
This patch fixes this case by locking in ancestor order before trying
inode number order.

OCFS2_VALID_FL in the inode

The file b still can be accessed

ls /mnt/ocfs2
When first read the file b with

validate the inode using
ocfs2_validate_inode_block().
Because OCFS2_VALID_FL not set in

So we should add inode into orphan dir after updating entry in

Commit b1cb0982bd ("change the management method of free objects of
the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector
('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following
decription.
1. traverse all objects on all the slabs.
2. determine whether it is active or not.
3. if active, print who allocate this object.
but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic
determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we
regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we
mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one.
This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who
corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object
is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check
object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to
access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point,
page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs.
Following is oops message reported from Dave.
It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators
(Just cat it, and you should see the oops below)

To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.
With this, we can track object status precisely, so slab leak detector
would not access active object and no kernel oops would occur. Memory
overhead caused by this fix is only imposed to CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
which is mainly used for debugging, so memory overhead isn't big
problem.

Trinity finds that mmap access to a hole while it's punched from shmem
can prevent the madvise(MADV_REMOVE) or fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
from completing, until the reader chooses to stop; with the puncher's
hold on i_mutex locking out all other writers until it can complete.
It appears that the tmpfs fault path is too light in comparison with its
hole-punching path, lacking an i_data_sem to obstruct it; but we don't
want to slow down the common case.
Extend shmem_fallocate()'s existing range notification mechanism, so
shmem_fault() can refrain from faulting pages into the hole while it's
punched, waiting instead on i_mutex (when safe to sleep; or repeatedly
faulting when not).

I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP
functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent
rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced
NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to.
But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for
an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in
there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge.
Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration
ptes, seen in the dumped trace. Although that rmap walk has a 4k page
to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from
4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with
that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent.
I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily
handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions.
And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than
a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or
non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops
in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from
do_huge_pmd_wp_page().
I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source
page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and
not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will
prevent a miscopy from being made visible.
Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing to
the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config;
but get and put references to all of the tail pages when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

instance if one was previously captured recently.
This patch provides a new routine namely
trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers the flexibility to issue
an NMI to every cpu but current and capture a back trace accordingly.
Patch x86 and sparc to support new routine.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.
This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.
This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value. Part of this process involved
disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.
The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify
them in the dump. This can be done by checking the appropriate page
flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO
interface.
There's only one small catch. Depending on how many page flags are
available on a given architecture, this bit can be called PG_head or
PG_compound.
I sent a similar patch back in 2012, but Eric Biederman did not like
using an #ifdef. So, this time I'm adding a common symbol
(PG_head_mask) instead.

There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.

Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage

Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage

=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).
