  unearthed by Dave Jones syscall fuzzer:

   - Add missing early deadlock detection checks in the futex code
   - Prevent user space from attaching a futex to kernel threads

      dcache: add missing lockdep annotation · 9f12600f
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and
is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first).  But because
it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be
a deadlock on d_lock, and complained.

Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to
make lockdep happy.

Introduced by commit 046b961b ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's
->d_lock earlier").

    drm/crtc-helpers: fix dpms on logic

bisect lead everyone to

commit 25f397a4
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date:   Fri Jul 19 18:57:11 2013 +0200

    drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset

which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14.

Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to
drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op
previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does
this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF.
But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly
resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on.

This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that
radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display,
through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par,
which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen.

Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this
by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum
functions.

v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

      x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K · 6538b8ea
      Minchan Kim authored 
      While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.

When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.

I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.

Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
already expaned to 16K. )

So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
chance to think over it.

I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
maintainers.

Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:

         Depth    Size   Location    (51 entries)

[ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to
  generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
  temporaries and generating too many spills.  Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
  35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.

  Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
  some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
  what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
  clearly getting too close.

  The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
  same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
  function arguments.

  We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
  simple stack increase too.  Unlike most earlier reports, there is
  nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
  apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
  should need to be.        - Linus ]

      dealing with the rest of shrink_dentry_list() livelock · b2b80195
      Al Viro authored 
      We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where
we are dropping references to ancestors.  Same solution, basically -
instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the
previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count
(in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock
and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock
the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.

      shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier · 046b961b
      Al Viro authored 
      The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on
dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use
trylock on the parent's one.  d_walk() takes them in the right
order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation
when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock
keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop()
keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's
waiting for.

Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock
the dentry itself and take locks in the right order.  We need to
stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable
using RCU.  And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the
loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc.
would need to be redone anyway.

That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the
shrink list itself.  Another one (dropping their parents) is
in the next commit.

locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(),
lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check
if the parent is still the right one.  Except that we need to check
that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock
out of order.  Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if
D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent
can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking
D1->d_lock is enough.  In other words, the right solution is
rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's
still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.
