Vikram reported that his ARM64 compiler managed to 'optimize' away the preempt_count manipulations in code like: preempt_enable_no_resched(); put_user(); preempt_disable(); Irrespective of that fact that that is horrible code that should be fixed for many reasons, it does highlight a deficiency in the generic preempt_count manipulators. As it is never right to combine/elide preempt_count manipulations like this. Therefore sprinkle some volatile in the two generic accessors to ensure the compiler is aware of the fact that the preempt_count is observed outside of the regular program-order view and thus cannot be optimized away like this. x86; the only arch not using the generic code is not affected as we do all this in asm in order to use the segment base per-cpu stuff.

The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa. Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it; - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now removed waiter. Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value. The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0. This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4 ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255. This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU in the ipv4 code. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under /sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see the filenames. Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure to generate a unique name. This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding leaking kernel pointers to user space.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "During v4.6-rc1 cgroup namespace support was merged. There is an issue where it's impossible to tell whether a given cgroup mount point is bind mounted or namespaced. Serge has been working on the issue but it took longer than expected to resolve, so the late pull request. Given that it's a completely new feature and the patches don't touch anything else, the risk seems acceptable. However, if this is too late, an alternative is plugging new cgroup ns creation for v4.6 and retrying for v4.7" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix compile warning kernfs: kernfs_sop_show_path: don't return 0 after seq_dentry call cgroup, kernfs: make mountinfo show properly scoped path for cgroup namespaces kernfs_path_from_node_locked: don't overwrite nlen

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "CPU hotplug callbacks can invoke DOWN_FAILED w/o preceding DOWN_PREPARE which can trigger a WARN_ON() in workqueue. The bug has been there for a very long time. It only triggers if CPU down fails at a specific point and I don't think it has adverse effects other than the warning messages. The fix is very low impact" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix rebind bound workers warning
