      mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop · 5c889690
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which
      means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the
      kernel:
      
      > My fuzz tester keeps hitting this. Every instance shows the non-irq stack
      > came in from mlockall.  I'm only seeing this on one box, but that has more
      > ram (8gb) than my other machines, which might explain it.

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.
