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.

First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
 This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
 work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
 with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
 even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called

Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
 Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
 functions:
 (races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
  and workqueue code)
 bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
			  bond_open(), enqueued functions
 bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
				bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()

Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.
Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I
      didn't like how it looks broken down. If you'd prefer it otherwise,
      then simply break it.

Consider the following program, that sets the second argument to the
sendto() syscall incorrectly:

 #include <string.h>
 #include <arpa/inet.h>
 #include <sys/socket.h>

 int main(void)
 {
         int fd;
         struct sockaddr_in sa;

         fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
         if (fd < 0)
                 return 1;

         memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
         sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
         sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
         sa.sin_port = htons(11111);

         sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));

         return 0;
 }

We get -ENOMEM:

 $ strace -e sendto ./demo
 sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Propagate the error code from sctp_user_addto_chunk(), so that we will
tell user space what actually went wrong:

 $ strace -e sendto ./demo
 sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

 #include <sys/socket.h>

 int main(void)

         int fd;

  jbd: Fix lock ordering bug in journal_unmap_buffer()

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test
exposed.  Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the
lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash.

While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with
a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a
futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and
futex_requeue() do not perform the same test.

Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and
q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected.  To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.

This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an
x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

Commit 169ebd90 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback.  As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there).  Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.

The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned.  But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances.  Following can easily reproduce the
problem:

  for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
    mkdir $i
    for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
      touch $i/$j
      echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    done
  done

then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.

We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage.  The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer.  As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad.  If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop.  As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.

This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs.  If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.

Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves.  However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available.  As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.  Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit.  This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.

If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following

  Hmm,  so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
  kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
  but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to	turn off  Firefox
  or TB  (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
  those apps again.  (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

  kswapd0         R  running task        0    30      2 0x00000000

    drop_super+0x22/0x30
    prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
    shrink_slab+0xba/0x510

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction.  That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.

If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided.  However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time.  This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep().  Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.

The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing.  As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d06 ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference.  The patch brings
the test back.

The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.

The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

Strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installation so
that any userspace dependencies aren't affected.  glibc, for example,
checks for linux/types.h, linux/kernel.h, linux/compiler.h and
linux/list.h by their guards - though the last two aren't actually
exported.

Commit baf05aa9 ("bug: introduce BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() macro")
introduces this macro only when _CHECKER_ is not defined.  Define a
silent macro in the else condition to fix following sparse warning:

Name of pimreg devices are built from following format :

char name[IFNAMSIZ]; // IFNAMSIZ == 16

sprintf(name, "pimreg%u", mrt->id);

We must therefore limit mrt->id to 9 decimal digits
or risk a buffer overflow and a crash.

Restrict table identifiers in [0 ... 999999999] interval.

inet_getpeer_v4() can return NULL under OOM conditions, and while
inet_peer_xrlim_allow() is OK with a NULL peer, inet_putpeer() will
crash.

This code path now uses the same idiom as the others from:
1d861aa4 ("inet: Minimize use of
cached route inetpeer.").

Set in the rx_ifindex to pass the correct interface index in the case of a
message timeout detection. Usually the rx_ifindex value is set at receive
time. But when no CAN frame has been received the RX_TIMEOUT notification
did not contain a valid value.

The skb->tstamp is set to the hardware timestamp when available in the USB
urb message. This leads to user visible timestamps which contain the 'uptime'
of the USB adapter - and not the usual system generated timestamp.

Fix this wrong assignment by applying the available hardware timestamp to the
skb_shared_hwtstamps data structure - which is intended for this purpose.

Felix Liao reported that when an interface is set DOWN
while another interface is executing a ROC, the warning
in ieee80211_start_next_roc() (about the first item on
the list having started already) triggers.

This is because ieee80211_roc_purge() calls it even if
it never actually changed the list of ROC items. To fix
this, simply remove the function call. If it is needed
then it will be done by the ieee80211_sw_roc_work()
function when the ROC item that is being removed while
active is cleaned up.
