      ====================
      I have two late fixes for the v3.12 release:
      
      The first patch fixes a problem in the c_can's RX message handling, which can
      lead to an endless interrupt loop under heavy load if messages are lost. The
      second patch is by Olivier Sobrie and fixes the endpoint detection of the
      kvaser_usb driver, which is needed for some devices.

      net: sctp: do not trigger BUG_ON in sctp_cmd_delete_tcb · 7926c1d5
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Introduced in f9e42b85 ("net: sctp: sideeffect: throw BUG if
      primary_path is NULL"), we intended to find a buggy assoc that's
      part of the assoc hash table with a primary_path that is NULL.
      However, we better remove the BUG_ON for now and find a more
      suitable place to assert for these things as Mark reports that
      this also triggers the bug when duplication cookie processing
      happens, and the assoc is not part of the hash table (so all
      good in this case). Such a situation can for example easily be
      reproduced by:
      
        tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 2 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1
        tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:2 handle 20: netem loss 20%
        tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 2 u32 match ip \
                  protocol 132 0xff match u8 0x0b 0xff at 32 flowid 1:2
      
      This drops 20% of COOKIE-ACK packets. After some follow-up
      discussion with Vlad we came to the conclusion that for now we
      should still better remove this BUG_ON() assertion, and come up
      with two follow-ups later on, that is, i) find a more suitable
      place for this assertion, and possibly ii) have a special
      allocator/initializer for such kind of temporary assocs.

      lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page · 3d77b50c
      Ming Lei authored
      Commit b1adaf65 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
      functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
      flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
      written to.
      
      Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:
      
       - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
         block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
         finally
      
       - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
         on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.
      
       - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
         mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
         slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.
      
      Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
      and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
      before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

      mm: memcg: fix test for child groups · 696ac172
      Johannes Weiner authored
      When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
      uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
      depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
      not.
      
      Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
      require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
      memcg callers.  This results in the following splat when e.g.  enabling
      hierarchy mode:
      
        WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160()

      In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
      modify inheritable attributes interactively.  Racing with deletion could
      mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem.  Racing with addition is handled
      just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
      not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
      from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

      mm: memcg: use proper memcg in limit bypass · 3168ecbe
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Commit 84235de3 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the
      allocator") allowed __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to bypass the limit if they
      fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge.  But because the main test
      case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer
      kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when
      bypassing the limit, and not NULL.  This will corrupt whatever memory is
      at NULL + percpu pointer offset.  Fix this quickly before problems are
      reported.

      vfs: decrapify dput(), fix cache behavior under normal load · 358eec18
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We do not want to dirty the dentry->d_flags cacheline in dput() just to
      set the DCACHE_REFERENCED flag when it is already set in the common case
      anyway.  This way the first cacheline of the dentry (which contains the
      RCU lookup information etc) can stay shared among multiple CPU's.
      
      This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches
      merged during the merge window.
      
      Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path
      and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function
      entry/exit overhead.
