The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it
prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate
for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data.

If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may
be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways.

Just don't do it.  Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just
format the array contents once.  The only user of the u32_array
interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in
the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end
result is much simpler code without the bug.

u32_array_open() is racy when multiple threads read from a file with a
seek position of zero, i.e. when two or more simultaneous reads are
occurring after the non-seekable files are created.  It is possible that
file->private_data is double-freed because the threads races between

	kfree(file->private-data);

and

	file->private_data = NULL;

The fix is to only do format_array_alloc() when the file is opened and
free it when it is closed.

Note that because the file has always been non-seekable, you can't open
it and read it multiple times anyway, so the data has always been
generated just once.  The difference is that now it is generated at open
time rather than at the time of the first read, and that avoids the
race.

  cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
  workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq

powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.

It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.

This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.

Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
        workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
        shouldn't break other existing users.

It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.

However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important.  For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.

So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).

This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.

So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.

This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed

However, after 25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding

workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
programming.  Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads.  In
particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
disabled until otherwise programmed.

This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
Overo platforms.  This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
deep power states.  The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.

Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.

Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

  linux/nfs-2.6/include/net/sock.h:1339:13: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]

is seen with gcc (GCC) 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) using the
-Wextra option.

Commit c76562b6 ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an
unsigned int.  This changes the semantics of the comparison in the
return statement.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.

Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
the same.

get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
This is a problem in the following situation.  Assume that there is a
request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
cache and no node-partial slab.

In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page.  As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.

Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects().  In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page.  We extract one object
from it and re-deactivate.

  "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.

As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.

This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
scenario.  Instead, new_slab() is called.

Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag.  This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use.  Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy.  This patch ensures that
the head page is always used.

This problem was originally identified by Joonsoo Kim.

Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.

There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.

The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.

I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:

If kthread_run() fails, pgdat->kswapd contains errno.  When we stop this
thread, we only check whether pgdat->kswapd is NULL and access it.  If
it contains errno, it will cause page fault.  Reset pgdat->kswapd to
NULL when creating kernel thread fails can avoid this problem.

The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its
ctl_table_header structure are not dropped.

This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup():
proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but
it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link()
fails.

This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always
dropped on return.

See also commit 076c3eed ("sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup
introducing find_entry and lookup_entry") which reorganized this code in
3.4.
