In the last refactoring of shrink_submounts a variable was not completely renamed. So finish the renaming of mnt to m now. Without this if you attempt to mount an nfs mount that has both automatic nfs sub mounts on it, and has normal mounts on it. The unmount will succeed when it should not. Signed-off-by:

lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

__register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address but before module_text_address() or try_module_get(), and in this interval the module can be unloaded. In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod) will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe invalid address. This patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and uses __module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address(). Signed-off-by:

With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem. Signed-off-by:

In theory the task can be moved to another cgroup and the freezer will be freed right after task_lock is dropped, so the lock results in zero protection. But in the case of freezer_fork() no lock is needed, since the task is not in tasklist yet so it won't be moved to another cgroup, so task->cgroups won't be changed or invalidated. Signed-off-by:

If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations. During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to get_page_from_freelist().

It turns out that edac_mc_del_mc will kobject_put the last kref on the mci object. If the timing is just right, that means that the mci object is freed before before i5000_remove_one has a chance to free the resources associated with it, causing a null pointer exceptions when unloading the driver. Insert a kobject_{get,put} pair so that this doesn't happen. Signed-off-by: -

It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver. This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into nowhere, causing a crash. Make this assumption hold true for these three drivers. Signed-off-by:

Oops. Part of the hugetlb private reservation code was not fully converted to use hstates. When a huge page must be unmapped from VMAs due to a failed COW, HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of the page size being used. This works if the VMA is using the default huge page size. Otherwise we might unmap too much, too little, or trigger a BUG_ON. Rare but serious -- fix it. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a TX hang reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer. When an architecutre cannot provide a fully functional 64-bit atomic readq/writeq, the driver must implement it's own. This is because only the driver can say whether doing something like using two 32-bit reads to implement the full 64-bit read will actually work properly. In particular one of the issues is whether the top 32-bits or the bottom 32-bits of the 64-bit register should be read first. There could be side effects, and in fact that is exactly the problem here. The TX_CS register has counters in the upper 32-bits and state bits in the lower 32-bits. A read clears the state bits. We would read the counter half before the state bit half. That first read would clear the state bits, and then the driver thinks that no interrupts are pending because the interrupt indication state bits are seen clear every time. Fix this by reading the bottom half before the upper half. Tested-by:

Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer works... Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected hardware dies. (Above text by me. Johannes officially disavows all knowledge of this hack. -- JWL) Signed-off-by:
