      Merge tag 'fscache-fixes-20140917' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull fs-cache fixes from David Howells:

 - Put a timeout in releasepage() to deal with a recursive hang between
   the memory allocator, writeback, ext4 and fscache under memory
   pressure.

 - Fix a pair of refcount bugs in the fscache error handling.

 - Remove a couple of unused pagevecs.

 - The cachefiles requirement that the base directory support rename
   should permit rename2 as an alternative - otherwise certain
   filesystems cannot now be used as backing stores (such as ext4).

  CacheFiles: Handle rename2

      Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "create_singlethread_workqueue() is the old interface which is kept
  around for backward compatibility - each should be reviewed to
  determine whether singlethread usage was to save worker threads or for
  ordering guarantee and whether it's depended upon by memory reclaim
  path.

  While adding NUMA support for unbound workqueues during v3.10, I
  forgot to update it breaking the singlethread and ordering properties
  on NUMA setups.  The breakage was unfortunately rather subtle and went
  without being reported until now.

  The only missing piece is __WQ_ORDERED flag which makes the unbounded
  workqueue use a single backend queue across different NUMA nodes.
  It's fixed by making create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap
  alloc_ordered_workqueue() so that possible future updates are
  inherited automatically"

      Fix nasty 32-bit overflow bug in buffer i/o code. · f2d5a944
      Anton Altaparmakov authored 
      On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always
handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus
fail on 4TB+ disks.

Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(),
sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit
block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop
in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg
like this:

  __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648
  b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512
  device sda1 blocksize: 512

Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the
top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top).

This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due
to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on
32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number.  But the top
bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit
before the shift.

This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before
doing the left shift.

Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a
4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes.

This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5
kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop".  Without this patch
doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop
100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

      Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Fixes for ARM, the most notable being the fix from Nathan Lynch to fix
  the state of various registers during execve, to ensure that data
  can't be leaked between two executables.

  Fixes from Victor Kamensky for get_user() on big endian platforms,
  since the addition of 8-byte get_user() support broke these fairly
  badly.

  A fix from Sudeep Holla for affinity setting when hotplugging CPU 0.

  A fix from Stephen Boyd for a perf-induced sleep attempt while atomic.

  Lastly, a correctness fix for emulation of the SWP instruction on
  ARMv7+, and a fix for wrong carry handling when updating the
  translation table base address on LPAE platforms"

* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: 8149/1: perf: Don't sleep while atomic when enabling per-cpu interrupts
  ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec
  ARM: 8151/1: add missing exports for asm functions required by get_user macro
  ARM: 8137/1: fix get_user BE behavior for target variable with size of 8 bytes
  ARM: 8135/1: Fix in-correct barrier usage in SWP{B} emulation
  ARM: 8133/1: use irq_set_affinity with force=false when migrating irqs
