Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo: "There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen". It's an ugly hack working around a deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active() instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed, followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support, hopefully. Others are device-specific fixes. The most notable is the addition of NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro M500 SSDs which otherwise suffers data corruption" * 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen libata: implement ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and apply it to Micro M500 SSDs libata: disable a disk via libata.force params ahci: bail out on ICH6 before using AHCI BAR ahci: imx: Explicitly clear IMX6Q_GPR13_SATA_MPLL_CLK_EN libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_BROKEN_FPDMA_AA quirk for Seagate Momentus SpinPoint M8

selinux_setprocattr() does ptrace_parent(p) under task_lock(p), but task_struct->alloc_lock doesn't pin ->parent or ->ptrace, this looks confusing and triggers the "suspicious RCU usage" warning because ptrace_parent() does rcu_dereference_check(). And in theory this is wrong, spin_lock()->preempt_disable() doesn't necessarily imply rcu_read_lock() we need to access the ->parent. Reported-by:

Since commit 36bc08cc ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7 ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races. Signed-off-by:

In the case of both the submit_queues param and use_per_node_hctx param are used. We limit the number af submit_queues to the number of online nodes. If the submit_queues is a multiple of nr_online_nodes, its trivial. Simply map them to the nodes. For example: 8 submit queues are mapped as node0[0,1], node1[2,3], ... If uneven, we are left with an uneven number of submit_queues that must be mapped. These are mapped toward the first node and onward. E.g. 5 submit queues mapped onto 4 nodes are mapped as node0[0,1], node1[2], ... Signed-off-by:

Commit 1bf49dd4 ("./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option") started setting the INITRD_COMPRESS environment variable depending on which decompression models the kernel had available. That is completely broken. For example, we by default have CONFIG_RD_LZ4 enabled, and are able to decompress such an initrd, but the user tools to *create* such an initrd may not be availble. So trying to tell dracut to generate an lz4-compressed image just because we can decode such an image is completely inappropriate.

Commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default. Signed-off-by:
