According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, the result of signed integer overflow
is undefined.  The macro nilfs_cnt32_ge(), which compares two sequence
numbers, uses signed integer subtraction that can overflow, and therefore
the result of the calculation may differ from what is expected due to
undefined behavior in different environments.

Similar to an earlier change to the jiffies-related comparison macros in
commit 5a581b36 ("jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed
overflow"), avoid this potential issue by changing the definition of the
macro to perform the subtraction as unsigned integers, then cast the
result to a signed integer for comparison.

After commit 0258b5fd ("coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread
group") zap_process() doesn't need the "task_struct *start" arg,
zap_threads() can pass "signal_struct *signal" instead.

This simplifies the code and allows to use __for_each_thread() which
is slightly more efficient.

Worst case scenario of plist_add() happens when the priority of the
inserted plist_node is going to be the largest after the insertion is
done.  The cost is going to be more significant when the original plist is
longer, because the iterator is going to traverse the whole plist to find
the correct position to insert the new node.

The situation can be avoided by using a reverse iterator at the same time,
doing so the maximum possible number of iteration is going to shrink from
N to N/2.

The proposed change of plist_add pasts the test in lib/plist.c to validate
its correctness, also add the worst case scenario test for plist_add() in
plist_test().

The worst case test are tested with the size of test_data and test_node
growing from 200 to 1000.  The result are showned in the following table,
in which we can observed that the proposed change of plist_add performs
better than the original version, and the difference between these two
implementations are more significant with the size of N growing.

The random case test [1], and best case test [2] are also provided, with
result showing the proposed change performs slightly better in random case
test while the original implementation performs slightly better in best
case test, while the difference in both test are minor, we can see them as
even in those two situations.

This check looks for common words that probably indicate a patch
is a fix.  For now the regex is:

	(?:(?:BUG: K.|UB)SAN: |Call Trace:|stable\@|syzkaller)/)

Why are stable patches encouraged to have a fixes tag?  Some people mark
their stable patches as "# 5.10" etc.  This is useful but a Fixes tag is
still a good idea.  For example, the Fixes tag helps in review.  It
helps people to not cherry-pick buggy patches without also
cherry-picking the fix.

Also if a bug affects the 5.7 kernel some people will round it up to
5.10+ because 5.7 is not supported on kernel.org.  It's possible the Bad
Binder bug was caused by this sort of gap where companies outside of
kernel.org are supporting different kernels from kernel.org.

Should it be counted as a Fix when a patch just silences harmless
WARN_ON() stack trace.  Yes.  Definitely.

Is silencing compiler warnings a fix?  It seems unfair to the original
authors, but we use -Werror now, and warnings break the build so let's
just add Fixes tags.  I tell people that silencing static checker
warnings is not a fix but the rules on this vary by subsystem.

Is fixing a minor LTP issue (Linux Test Project) a fix?  Probably?  It's
hard to know what to do if the LTP test has technically always been
broken.

One clear false positive from this check is when someone updated their
debug output and included before and after Call Traces.  Or when crashes
are introduced deliberately for testing.  In those cases, you should
just ignore checkpatch.

For a printout to happen, all types must be set to "show".  So, AND is
needed for the flags, not OR, if we want to ignore something.

Call mark_buffer_dirty() for segment summary and super root block buffers
on the backing device's page cache, thereby indirectly calling
inode_attach_wb().

Then remove the no longer needed call to inode_attach_wb() in
nilfs_attach_log_writer(), resolving the concern about its layer-violating
use.

Patch series "nilfs2: eliminate the call to inode_attach_wb()".

This series eliminates the inode_attach_wb() call from nilfs2, which was
introduced as a workaround for a kernel bug but is suspected of layer
violation (in fact, it is undesirable since it exposes a reference to the
backing device).

Removal of the inode_attach_wb() call is done by simply using
mark_buffer_dirty() on the backing device's buffers.  To use it safely,
this series will prepare it in patch 1/2, and perform the replacement
itself in patch 2/2.


This patch (of 2):

In preparation for inode_attach_wb(), which is currently called when
attaching the log writer, to be done via mark_buffer_dirty(), change the
order of preparation for log writing.

Specifically, the function call that adds checksums to segment summary and
super root blocks, which correspond to the log header and trailer, is made
before starting writeback of folios containing those blocks.

The current steps are as follows:

1. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
2. Put the folios of data blocks, metadata file blocks, and btree node
   blocks (collectively called payload blocks) into writeback state.
3. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.
4. Add checksums.

Change these as follows:

1. Put the folios of payload blocks in writeback state.
2. Add checksums.
3. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
4. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.

In this order, the contents of segment summaries and super root block
that directly use buffer/folio of the backing device can be determined
including the addition of checksums, before preparing to write.

Step (1), which puts the payload block folios in writeback state, is
performed first because if there are memory-mapped data blocks, a valid
checksum can only be calculated after step (1).

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. So a -1 has been added when needed.

Patch series "Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API".

The series removes the *last* usages of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API.


This patch (of 3):

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_range() is inclusive.  So, this upper limit, INT_MAX, should
have been changed to INT_MAX-1.

But, it is likely that the INT_MAX 'idx' is valid that the max value passed
to ida_simple_get() should have been 0.

So, allow this INT_MAX 'idx' value now.
