The reason is the incorrect assumption in fpu_copy(), that FNSAVE
can be executed from math-emu kernels as well.

Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied
by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's
soft math state.

With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern
hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.

      x86/fpu/math-emu: Fix math-emu boot crash · 5fc96038
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs:

	Initializing CPU#0

	kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:779!

The reason is that in the following commit:

  b1276c48 ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()")

I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the
FNINIT instruction in kernel mode.

The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel
mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly)
fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to
the FPU emulator.

      Add hch to .get_maintainer.ignore · e525293d
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      While the idea behind get_maintainer seems highly useful it's
unfortunately way to trigger happy to grab people that once had a few
commits to files.  For someone like me who does a lot of tree-wide API
work that leads to an incredible amount of Cc spam.

      mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust · 2f064f34
      Michal Hocko authored 
      Commit c48a11c7 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
                skb->pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).
