[why] phy_pix_clk is one of the variable used to check if one PLL can be shared with displays having common mode set configuration. As of now phy_pix_clock varialbe is calculated in function dc_validate_stream(). dc_validate_stream() function is called after clocks are assigned for the new display. Due to this during hotplug, when PLL sharing conditions are checked for new display phy_pix_clk variable will be 0 and for displays that are already enabled phy_pix_clk will have some value. Hence PLL will not be shared and if the display hardware doesn't have any more PLL to assign, mode set will fail due to resource unavailability. [how] Instead of only calculating the phy_pix_clk variable after the PLL is assigned for new display, this patch calculates phy_pix_clk also during the before assigning the PLL for new display.

Pull ARM spectre updates from Russell King: "These are the currently known final bits that resolve the Spectre issues. big.Little systems used to be sufficiently identical in that there were no differences between individual CPUs in the system that mattered to the kernel. With the advent of the Spectre problem, the CPUs now have differences in how the workaround is applied. As a result of previous Spectre patches, these systems ended up reporting quite a lot of: "CPUx: Spectre v2: incorrect context switching function, system vulnerable" messages due to the action of the big.Little switcher causing the CPUs to be re-initialised regularly. This series resolves that issue by making the CPU vtable unique to each CPU. However, since this is used very early, before per-cpu is setup, per-cpu can't be used. We also have a problem that two of the methods are not called from preempt-safe paths, but thankfully these remain identical between all CPUs in the system. To make sure, we validate that these are identical during boot" * 'spectre' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: ARM: spectre-v2: per-CPU vtables to work around big.Little systems ARM: add PROC_VTABLE and PROC_TABLE macros ARM: clean up per-processor check_bugs method call ARM: split out processor lookup ARM: make lookup_processor_type() non-__init -

Other filesystems such as ext4, f2fs and ubifs all return ENXIO when lseek (SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE) requests a negative offset. man 2 lseek says : EINVAL whence is not valid. Or: the resulting file offset would be : negative, or beyond the end of a seekable device. : : ENXIO whence is SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and the file offset is beyond : the end of the file. Make tmpfs return ENXIO under these circumstances as well. After this, tmpfs also passes xfstests's generic/448.

Scan through the whole array to see if an update is needed. While we're at it, use sizeof() to be safe against any possible type changes in the future. The bug here is that we wouldn't sync per-cpu counters into global ones if there was an update of numa_stats for higher cpus. Highly theoretical one though because it is much more probable that zone_stats are updated so we would refresh anyway. So I wouldn't bother to mark this for stable, yet something nice to fix.

Spock reported that commit 172b06c3 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") leads to a regression on his setup: periodically the majority of the pagecache is evicted without an obvious reason, while before the change the amount of free memory was balancing around the watermark. The reason behind is that the mentioned above change created some minimal background pressure on the inode cache. The problem is that if an inode is considered to be reclaimed, all belonging pagecache page are stripped, no matter how many of them are there. So, if a huge multi-gigabyte file is cached in the memory, and the goal is to reclaim only few slab objects (unused inodes), we still can eventually evict all gigabytes of the pagecache at once. The workload described by Spock has few large non-mapped files in the pagecache, so it's especially noticeable. To solve the problem let's postpone the reclaim of inodes, which have more than 1 attached page. Let's wait until the pagecache pages will be evicted naturally by scanning the corresponding LRU lists, and only then reclaim the inode structure.
