      workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered · 61a0adbf
      Tejun Heo authored 
      commit 5c0338c6 upstream.

The combination of WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 used to imply
ordered execution.  After NUMA affinity 4c16bd32 ("workqueue:
implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), this is no longer
true due to per-node worker pools.

While the right way to create an ordered workqueue is
alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the documentation has been misleading for a
long time and people do use WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 for ordered
workqueues which can lead to subtle bugs which are very difficult to
trigger.

It's unlikely that we'd see noticeable performance impact by enforcing
ordering on WQ_UNBOUND / max_active == 1 workqueues.  Let's
automatically set __WQ_ORDERED for those workqueues.

      libata: array underflow in ata_find_dev() · 804b1a9f
      Dan Carpenter authored 
      commit 59a5e266 upstream.

My static checker complains that "devno" can be negative, meaning that
we read before the start of the loop.  I've looked at the code, and I
think the warning is right.  This come from /proc so it's root only or
it would be quite a quite a serious bug.  The call tree looks like this:

proc_scsi_write() <- gets id and channel from simple_strtoul()
-> scsi_add_single_device() <- calls shost->transportt->user_scan()
   -> ata_scsi_user_scan()
      -> ata_find_dev()

      cgroup: fix error return value from cgroup_subtree_control() · 445ee6cd
      Tejun Heo authored 
      commit 3c745417 upstream.

While refactoring, f7b2814b ("cgroup: factor out
cgroup_{apply|finalize}_control() from
cgroup_subtree_control_write()") broke error return value from the
function.  The return value from the last operation is always
overridden to zero.  Fix it.

      cgroup: create dfl_root files on subsys registration · 4a99eac8
      Tejun Heo authored 
      commit 7af608e4 upstream.

On subsystem registration, css_populate_dir() is not called on the new
root css, so the interface files for the subsystem on cgrp_dfl_root
aren't created on registration.  This is a residue from the days when
cgrp_dfl_root was used only as the parking spot for unused subsystems,
which no longer is true as it's used as the root for cgroup2.

This is often fine as later operations tend to create them as a part
of mount (cgroup1) or subtree_control operations (cgroup2); however,
it's not difficult to mount cgroup2 with the controller interface
files missing as Waiman found out.

Fix it by invoking css_populate_dir() on the root css on subsys
registration.

      John David Anglin authored 
      commit 13d57093 upstream.

In testing James' patch to drivers/parisc/pdc_stable.c, I hit the BUG
statement in flush_cache_range() during a system shutdown:

This patch modifies flush_cache_range() to handle non current contexts.
In as much as this occurs infrequently, the simplest approach is to
flush the entire cache when this happens.
