mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context. Then, following dead lock can occur. Assume "A" as a page. CPU0: lock_page_cgroup(A) interrupted -> take mapping->tree_lock. CPU1: take mapping->tree_lock -> lock_page_cgroup(A) This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected by page lock, not tree_lock. After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.

proc_pident_instantiate() has following call flow. proc_pident_lookup() proc_pident_instantiate() proc_pid_make_inode() And, proc_pident_lookup() has following error handling. const struct pid_entry *p, *last; error = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); if (!task) goto out_no_task; Then, proc_pident_instantiate should return ENOENT too when racing against exit(2) occur. EINAL has two bad reason. - it implies caller is wrong. bad the race isn't caller's mistake. - man 2 open don't explain EINVAL. user often don't handle it. Note: Other proc_pid_make_inode() caller already use ENOENT properly. Acked-by: Eric W.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Make FIXADDR_TOP a compile time constant and cleanup a couple of definitions relative to the layout of the kernel address space on ppc32. We also print out that layout at boot time for debugging purposes. This is a pre-requisite for properly fixing non-coherent DMA allocactions.

This reverts commit 33f00dce. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

cap_bprm_set_creds() has to be called from security_bprm_set_creds(). TOMOYO forgot to call cap_bprm_set_creds() from tomoyo_bprm_set_creds() and suid executables were not being working.
