This is retry of reverted 859ddf09 ("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs. * pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full(). * The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer. Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation. The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop with starting value higher than maximum allowed value. For detailed description, please read commit message of 859ddf09.

Presently the oom-killer is memcg aware and it finds the worst process from processes under memcg(s) in oom. Then, it kills victim's child first. It may kill a child in another cgroup and may not be any help for recovery. And it will break the assumption users have. This patch fixes it.

Commit 84b79f8d (drm/i915: Fix crash while aborting hibernation) attempted to fix a regression introduced by commit cbda12d7 (drm/i915: implement new pm ops for i915), but it went too far trying to split the freeze/suspend and resume/thaw parts of the code. As a result, it introduced another regression, which only is visible on some systems. Fix the problem by merging i915_drm_suspend() with i915_drm_freeze() and moving some code from i915_resume() into i915_drm_thaw(), so that intel_opregion_free() and intel_opregion_init() are also executed in the freeze and thaw code paths, respectively.

-
David S. Miller authored
Commit 085219f7 ("sparc32: use proper types in struct stat") Accidently changed the struct stat uid/gid members to uid_t and gid_t, but those get set to __kernel_uid32_t and __kernel_gid32_t respectively. Those are of type 'int' but the structure is meant to have 'short'. So use uid16_t and gid16_t to correct this. Reported-by: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during boot. This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

cachefiles_delete_object() can race with rename. It gets the parent directory of the object it's asked to delete, then locks it - but rename may have changed the object's parent between the get and the completion of the lock. However, if such a circumstance is detected, we abandon our attempt to delete the object - since it's no longer in the index key path, it won't be seen again by lookups of that key. The assumption is that cachefilesd may have culled it by renaming it to the graveyard for later destruction.

Samu Onkalo authored
When polled input device is opened and closed and there are no other users of polled device, the workqueue is created and destroyed in every open / close operation. It is probable that at some point dynamic allocation of internal parts of the workqueue cause changes to the workqueue. When a work is queued to the workqueue the work struct contains pointers to the workqueue data. If the workqueue has been changed and the work has never been queued to the new workqueue, work-struct contains pointers to the non-existing workqueue. This will cause crash at the work cancellation during device close since cancellation of a work assumes that the workqueue exists. To prevent that, work struct is cleaned up at device close. This keeps work struct clean for the next use. Signed-off-by: Samu Onkalo <samu.p.onkalo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

The temperature and voltage limits currently set on these boards are too conservative and will cause the driver to stop the net device erroneously in some systems. Based on a review of the chip datasheets and advice from the designer of these boards: - Raise the maximum board temperatures to the specified maximum ambient temperatures for their PHYs plus the expected temperature bias of the board - Raise the maximum controller temperature to 90 degrees - Lower the minimum temperatures to 0 degrees - Widen the voltage tolerances to at least +/- 10% Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Yuck. It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting with the values already changed. Which unfortunately meant that the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change. I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed values when we restart the sysctl write. One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding on an interface pings were still forwarded. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
