      MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags() · ac53c4fc
      David Daney authored 
      Problem:

1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid.  Will be
   faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.

2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.

3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
   invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.

4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
   huge mapping.

5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
   fault handler.  This tries to map a huge page and calls
   huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.

6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
   tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
   only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
   out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
   conflict, nothing is flushed.

7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
   conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
   exception.

The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull MTD fixes from David Woodhouse:
 "The most important part of this is that it fixes a regression in
  Samsung NAND chip detection, introduced by some rework which went into
  3.7.  The initial fix wasn't quite complete, so it's in two parts.  In
  fact the first part is committed twice (Artem committed his own copy
  of the same patch) and I've merged Artem's tree into mine which
  already had that fix.

  I'd have recommitted that to make it somewhat cleaner, but figured by
  this point in the release cycle it was better to merge *exactly* the
  commits which have been in linux-next.

  If I'd recommitted, I'd also omit the sparse warning fix.  But it's
  there, and it's harmless — just marking one function as 'static' in
  onenand code.

  This also includes a couple more fixes for stable: an AB-BA deadlock
  in JFFS2, and an invalid range check in slram."
