Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer operations. In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly. Remove them and change the documentation to note that setting PF_NOFREEZE directly isn't allowed. -v2: Dropped change to twl4030-irq.c as it no longer uses PF_NOFREEZE.

refrigerator() saves current->state before entering frozen state and restores it before returning using __set_current_state(); however, this is racy, for example, please consider the following sequence. set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); try_to_freeze(); if (kthread_should_stop()) break; schedule(); If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero ->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test. This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop(). current->state is often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently restoring it w/o mb breaks them. Use set_current_state() instead.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion. Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. Tested-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666 ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.

Commit 2aede851 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory) postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly. As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well. So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

commit f39925db (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) introduced a regression in ICMP redirect handling. It assumed ipv4_dst_check() would be called because all possible routes were attached to the inetpeer we modify in ip_rt_redirect(), but thats not true. commit 7cc9150e (route: fix ICMP redirect validation) tried to fix this but solution was not complete. (It fixed only one route) So we must lookup existing routes (including different TOS values) and call check_peer_redir() on them.

Commit 4ca46ff3 (PM / Sleep: Mark devices involved in wakeup signaling during suspend) introduced the power.wakeup_path field in struct dev_pm_info to mark devices whose children are enabled to wake up the system from sleep states, so that power domains containing the parents that provide their children with wakeup power and/or relay their wakeup signals are not turned off. Unfortunately, that introduced a PM regression on SH7372 whose power consumption in the system "memory sleep" state increased as a result of it, because it prevented the power domain containing the I2C controller from being turned off when some children of that controller were enabled to wake up the system, although the controller was not necessary for them to signal wakeup. To fix this issue use the observation that devices whose power.ignore_children flag is set for runtime PM should be treated analogously during system suspend. Namely, they shouldn't be included in wakeup paths going through their children. Since the SH7372 I2C controller's power.ignore_children flag is set, doing so will restore the previous behavior of that SOC. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
