Three exceptions, actually - parisc open() is another case like that.
Native 32bit won't force O_LARGEFILE, the same binary on parisc64 will.

      Revert "sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled" · fd8ef117
      Mike Galbraith authored 
      This reverts commit 800d4d30.

Between commits 8323f26c ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and
800d4d30 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is
disabled"), autogroup is a wreck.

With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable
autogroup during boot up, then reboot..  boom, NULL pointer dereference
due to commit 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things, and
commit 8323f26c making that the only way to switch runqueues:

      Merge 'block-dev' branch.

I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the
3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as
well merge it now.

This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in
this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and
block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c
instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c.

This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler,
and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore
introduced for mount.

I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this
during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it
into stable.

* block-dev:
  blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c
  direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times
  blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again
  fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock

      open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64) · 9d73fc2d
      Al Viro authored 
      The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are
 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags
 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags
 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit
 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for
    native 64bit

There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing
O_LARGEFILE and arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same
thing.  The same binaries on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will
*not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO both are emulation bugs.

Objections? The fix is obvious...

      Pull  late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes.  One was for a
  long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
  regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
  the two fixes together.

  The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
  w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  It only triggers on workqueue destructions
  which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
  called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well.  Apparently,
  if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
  indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.

  The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
  kthread function.

  The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
  mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
  Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
  which expires on the closest next tick.  Some users of the new
  function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
  queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.

  Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
  and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
  network.  The fix, again, is fairly simple.  The 0 delay special case
  logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
  __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
  and mod_delayed_work_on().

  The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
  latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
  wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
  fixes are fairly safe"

      tcp: fix crashes in do_tcp_sendpages() · 64022d0b
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Recent network changes allowed high order pages being used
for skb fragments.

This uncovered a bug in do_tcp_sendpages() which was assuming its caller
provided an array of order-0 page pointers.

We only have to deal with a single page in this function, and its order
is irrelevant.
