This one isn't related to previous patch. If online cpus are
below NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS, we don't need the lock. The
comments in the code declares we don't need the check, but a hot
lock still needs an atomic operation and expensive, so add the
check here.

Uses nr_cpu_ids here as suggested by Eric Dumazet.

Make the maxium TLB invalidate vectors depend on NR_CPUS linearly,
with a maximum of 32 vectors.

We currently only have 8 vectors for TLB invalidation and that is clearly
inadequate. If we have a lot of CPUs, the CPUs need share the 8 vectors and
tlbstate_lock is used to protect them. flush_tlb_page() is
heavily used in page reclaim, which will cause a lot of lock
contention for tlbstate_lock.

Andi Kleen suggested increasing the vectors number to 32, which should be
good for current typical systems to reduce the tlbstate_lock contention.

My test system has 4 sockets and 64G memory, and 64 CPUs. My
workload creates 64 processes. Each process mmap reads a big
empty sparse file. The total size of the files are 2*total_mem,
so this will cause a lot of page reclaim.

Below is the result I get from perf call-graph profiling:

 without the patch:
 ------------------

    24.25%           usemem  [kernel]                                   [k] _raw_spin_lock
                     |
                     --- _raw_spin_lock
                        |
                        |--42.15%-- native_flush_tlb_others

 with the patch:
 ------------------

    14.96%           usemem  [kernel]                                   [k] _raw_spin_lock
                     |
                     --- _raw_spin_lock
                        |--13.89%-- native_flush_tlb_others

So this heavily reduces the tlbstate_lock contention.

On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the
first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering:

	J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);

While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that
__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request.  Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.

The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and 
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.

Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.

I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex.  So that won't work.

This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.

Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module
loads & unloads.  I tracked this down to:

fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures

(this was in addition to the features advert unload problem)

The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing
a double free.  In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates
& frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different...
so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double
freeing the one allocated by slub.

After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other
sized-caches that get allocated.  jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it
more or less the way jbd2 does.  Below patch follows the jbd2
method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from
a list of static names.

(This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with
parallel mounts running).

This code makes two calls to clk_get, then test both return values and
fails if either failed.

The problem is that in the first inner if, where the first call to
clk_get has failed, it don't know if the second call has failed as well.
So it don't know whether clk_get should be called on the result of the
second call.  Of course, it would be possible to test that value again.
A simpler solution is just to test the result of calling clk_get
directly after each call.

Commit 3e7d3449 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction
instead of lumpy reclaim") introduced an indefinite loop in
shrink_zone().

It meant to break out of this loop when no pages had been reclaimed and
not a single page was even scanned.  The way it would detect the latter
is by taking a snapshot of sc->nr_scanned at the beginning of the
function and comparing it against the new sc->nr_scanned after the scan
loop.  But it would re-iterate without updating that snapshot, looping
forever if sc->nr_scanned changed at least once since shrink_zone() was
invoked.

This is not the sole condition that would exit that loop, but it
requires other processes to change the zone state, as the reclaimer that
is stuck obviously can not anymore.

This is only happening for higher-order allocations, where reclaim is
run back to back with compaction.

If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW.

However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into
the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present),
so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being
mapped in __do_fault's VMA.  Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to
worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.

vmscan can lazily find pages that are mapped within VM_LOCKED vmas, and
set the PageMlocked bit on these pages, transfering them onto the
unevictable list.  When do_wp_page() breaks COW within a VM_LOCKED vma,
it may need to clear PageMlocked on the old page and set it on the new
page instead.

This change fixes an issue where do_wp_page() was clearing PageMlocked
on the old page while the pte was still pointing to it (as well as
rmap).  Therefore, we were not protected against vmscan immediately
transfering the old page back onto the unevictable list.  This could
cause pages to get stranded there forever.

I propose to move the corresponding code to the end of do_wp_page(),
after the pte (and rmap) have been pointed to the new page.
Additionally, we can use munlock_vma_page() instead of
clear_page_mlock(), so that the old page stays mlocked if there are
still other VM_LOCKED vmas mapping it.

Instrumenting the nbd module's ioctl handler with some extra logging
clearly shows the NBD_DO_IT ioctl being invoked which is a long-lived
ioctl in the sense that it doesn't return until another ioctl asks the
driver to disconnect.  However, that other ioctl blocks, waiting for the
module-level mutex that replaced the BKL, and then we're stuck.

This patch removes the module-level mutex altogether.  It's clearly
wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd
driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would
require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.

In file drivers/rtc/rtc-proc.c seq_open() can return -ENOMEM.

 86        if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE))
 87                return -ENODEV;
 88
 89        return single_open(file, rtc_proc_show, rtc);

In this case before exiting (line 89) from rtc_proc_open the
module_put(THIS_MODULE) must be called.

Add a mutex to register communication and handling.  Without the mutex,
GPIOs didn't switch as expected when toggled in a fast sequence of
status changes of multiple outputs.

The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.

The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

In commit fa0d7e3d ("fs: icache RCU free inodes"), we use rcu free
inode instead of freeing the inode directly.  It causes a crash when we
rmmod immediately after we umount the volume[1].

So we need to call rcu_barrier after we kill_sb so that the inode is
freed before we do rmmod.  The idea is inspired by Aneesh Kumar.
rcu_barrier will wait for all callbacks to end before preceding.  The
original patch was done by Tao Ma, but synchronize_rcu() is not enough
here.
