Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman: "This is a set of 3 regression fixes. This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add <netns>" to display the actual mount point. This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach. This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use. Oops. My apologies for sending this pull request so late. Al Viro gave interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to address in detail before I sent this pull request. Unfortunately a bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today. The executive summary of the review was: Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient? The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of functions is a really mess. Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient. Yes, the code is mess. No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line change will do" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Fix a regression in mounting proc fork: Allow CLONE_PARENT after setns(CLONE_NEWPID) vfs: In d_path don't call d_dname on a mount point

This reverts commit 2f7dc602. The above commit breaks the mapping type for Device memory because pgprot_default already contains a Normal memory type. pgprot_default is also not initialised early enough for earlyprintk resulting in an inconsistent memory mapping with 64K PAGE_SIZE configuration.

__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler), so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu counter, otherwise counts may be lost. This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue() because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter. This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that have optimized this_cpu_add().

Commit 8456a648 changes the page structure so that the slab subsystem reuses the page->mapping field. The crash happens in the following way: * XFS allocates some memory from slab and issues a bio to read data into it. * the bio is sent to the loopback device. * lo_receive creates an actor and calls splice_direct_to_actor. * lo_splice_actor copies data to the target page. * lo_splice_actor calls flush_dcache_page because the page may be mapped by userspace. In that case we need to flush the kernel cache. * flush_dcache_page asks for the list of userspace mappings, however that page->mapping field is reused by the slab subsystem for a different purpose. This causes the crash. Note that other architectures without coherent caches (sparc, arm, mips) also call page_mapping from flush_dcache_page, so they may crash in the same way. This patch fixes this bug by testing if the page is a slab page in page_mapping and returning NULL if it is. The patch also fixes VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) that could happen in earlier kernels in the same scenario on architectures without cache coherence when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled - so it should be backported to stable kernels. In the old kernels, the function page_mapping is placed in include/linux/mm.h, so you should modify the patch accordingly when backporting it.

Currently, Loongson-2 call protected_blast_icache_range() and others call protected_loongson23_blast_icache_range(), but I think the correct behavior should be the opposite. BTW, Loongson-3's cache-ops is compatible with MIPS64, but not compatible with Loongson-2. So, rename xxx_loongson23_yyy things to xxx_loongson2_yyy.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment construction, whereby the old data is overwritten. The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message: nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted: NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0 NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660) The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running. Although it is quite hard to reproduce. This is what happens: 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which allocates a new segment 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message 8. Loop around and the collection starts again 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active data and can be allocated at a later time 10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the segment and causes file system corruption This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

The body of i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter() is currently guarded by I2C_MUX. It should be CONFIG_I2C_MUX instead. Among potentially other problems, this resulted in i2c_lock_adapter() only locking I2C mux child adapters, and not the parent adapter. In turn, this could allow inter-mingling of mux child selection and I2C transactions, which could result in I2C transactions being directed to the wrong I2C bus, and possibly even switching between busses in the middle of a transaction. One concrete issue caused by this bug was corrupted HDMI EDID reads during boot on the NVIDIA Tegra Seaboard system, although this only became apparent in recent linux-next, when the boot timing was changed just enough to trigger the race condition.

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery will bring it fully up-to-date. If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed. But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was present very recently, then there could be no need for any recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only array without any recovery. However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update. We don't currently detect this case properly and will include that old device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really needs a recovery. This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag. If that is set, then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

commit e875ecea md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery. added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad block rather than fail the whole recovery. Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio. This is will crash with a null dereference. So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.

commit 6d183de4 md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe. simplified a BUG_ON, but removed too much so now it sometimes fires when it shouldn't. When the STRIPE_EXPANDING flag is set, the stripe_head might be on a special list while multiple stripe_heads are collected, or it might not be on any list, even a 'free' list when the refcount is zero. As long as STRIPE_EXPANDING is set, it will be found and added back to a list eventually. So both of the BUG_ONs which test for the ->lru being empty or not need to avoid the case where STRIPE_EXPANDING is set. The patch which broke this was marked for -stable, so this patch needs to be applied to any branch that received 6d183de4 Fixes: 6d183de4 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (any release to which above was applied) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before the current resync point in either next_window_requests or current_window_requests. It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window. allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the *_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set. However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set from the return value of this function). So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this leads to the resync hanging. So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the same cases that it increments *_window_requests. But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.

If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and potentially read some of it from a different device. The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10. 1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!! 2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly seen by comparison with raid1.c This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10 ever had known bad blocks.

commit 5d8c71f9 md: raid5 crash during degradation Fixed a crash in an overly simplistic way which could leave R5_WriteError or R5_MadeGood set in the stripe cache for devices for which it is no longer relevant. When those devices are removed and spares added the flags are still set and can cause incorrect behaviour. commit 14a75d3e md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible. Fixed the same bug if a more effective way, so we can now revert the original commit.

This reverts commit 3fbd6439. This caused some strange booting lockup issues on an Intel G33 belonging to Daniel Vetter, very unusual, I was hoping Daniel would track this down, but it looks like instead I'll have to hack a different fix for -next. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

Pull powerpc fix from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here's one regression fix for 3.13 that I would appreciate if you could still pull in. It was an "interesting" one to debug, basically it's an old bug that got somewhat "exposed" by new code breaking the boot on PA Semi boards (yes, it does appear that some people are still using these!)" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc: Check return value of instance-to-package OF call

On PA-Semi firmware, the instance-to-package callback doesn't seem to be implemented. We didn't check for error, however, thus subsequently passed the -1 value returned into stdout_node to thins like prom_getprop etc... Thus caused the firmware to load values around 0 (physical) internally as node structures. It somewhat "worked" as long as we had a NULL in the right place (address 8) at the beginning of the kernel, we didn't "see" the bug. But commit 5c0484e2 "powerpc: Endian safe trampoline" changed the kernel entry point causing that old bug to now cause a crash early during boot. This fixes booting on PA-Semi board by properly checking the return value from instance-to-package.

Kexec disables outer cache before jumping to reboot code, but it doesn't flush it explicitly. Flush is done implicitly inside of l2x0_disable(). But some SoC's override default .disable handler and don't flush cache. This may lead to a corrupted memory during Kexec reboot on these platforms. This patch adds cache flush inside of OMAP4 and Highbank outer_cache.disable() handlers to make it consistent with default l2x0_disable().

I was not able to recreate this via normal files. But I'm not sure they are safe. It may just be that the race window is much harder to hit. What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted. As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock(). The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct. Now if the freeing of the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then there will be no issue here. (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the permission check). Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand. A real fix is to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers from the RCU callback. But that is a major job to do, and requires a lot of work. For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.
