      jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit code · a61d90d7
      Jan Kara authored 
      In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction.  During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
 But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head.  So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.

This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

      autofs4: remove hashed check in validate_wait() · 463aea1a
      Ian Kent authored 
      The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion.  We were
concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.

I saw several error messages.

They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
actual problem.

Things like:

handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)

which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
except that I treat is as such because it normally is).

do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
/test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1

which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times.  It's hard to
accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
to if the kernel module is doing its job.

There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
can't locate a log example just now.

When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
it is a mount point.  But, if a mount successfully completed while we
slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
completed so the test is not really needed.

Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
callback to the daemon.  Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
real mount at the base of the tree.

      x86: Clear TS in irq_ts_save() when in an atomic section · 0b8c3d5a
      Chuck Ebbert authored 
      The dynamic FPU context allocation changes caused the padlock driver
to generate the below warning. Fix it by masking TS when doing padlock
encryption operations in an atomic section.

      x86: Detect use of extended APIC ID for AMD CPUs · 42937e81
      Andreas Herrmann authored 
      Booting a 32-bit kernel on Magny-Cours results in the following panic:

  ...
  Using APIC driver default
  ...
  Overriding APIC driver with bigsmp
  ...
  Getting VERSION: 80050010
  Getting VERSION: 80050010

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (16 vs 0)
  Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-rcX #2
  Call Trace:
   [<c05194da>] ? panic+0x38/0xd3
   [<c0743102>] ? native_smp_prepare_cpus+0x259/0x31f

   [<c073b15f>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x141
   [<c020325f>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10

The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC
ID field just in case of XAPIC.

Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel
panic.

This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate
support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets
the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

      Due to commit 1cd96c24 ("block: WARN

the false warnings:

WARNING: at block/blk-core.c:1068 __blk_put_request+0x52/0xc0()

This sets rq->bio to NULL to avoid that false warnings.
