I don't even live in the same country as any of my PA-RISC hardware these days, so the odds of me touching the code are pretty low.

There is an issue when memcg unregisters events that were attached to the same eventfd: - On the first call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() removes all events attached to a given eventfd, and if there were no events left, thresholds->primary would become NULL; - Since there were several events registered, cgroups core will call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() again, but now kernel will oops, as the function doesn't expect that threshold->primary may be NULL. That's a good question whether mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() should actually remove all events in one go, but nowadays it can't do any better as cftype->unregister_event callback doesn't pass any private event-associated cookie. So, let's fix the issue by simply checking for threshold->primary. FWIW, w/o the patch the following oops may be observed: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004 IP: [<ffffffff810be32c>] mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event+0x9c/0x1f0 Pid: 574, comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 3.3.0-rc4+ #9 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810be32c>] [<ffffffff810be32c>] mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event+0x9c/0x1f0 RSP: 0018:ffff88001d0b9d60 EFLAGS: 00010246 Process kworker/0:2 (pid: 574, threadinfo ffff88001d0b8000, task ffff88001de91cc0) Call Trace: [<ffffffff8107092b>] cgroup_event_remove+0x2b/0x60 [<ffffffff8103db94>] process_one_work+0x174/0x450 [<ffffffff8103e413>] worker_thread+0x123/0x2d0 Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Kirill A.

With kernel 3.1, Christoph removed i_alloc_sem and replaced it with calls (namely inode_dio_wait() and inode_dio_done()) which are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() thus they cannot be used by non-GPL file systems and further inode_dio_wait() was pushed from notify_change() into the file system ->setattr() method but no non-GPL file system can make this call. That means non-GPL file systems cannot exist any more unless they do not use any VFS functionality related to reading/writing as far as I can tell or at least as long as they want to implement direct i/o. Both Linus and Al (and others) have said on LKML that this breakage of the VFS API should not have happened and that the change was simply missed as it was not documented in the change logs of the patches that did those changes. This patch changes the two function exports in question to be EXPORT_SYMBOL() thus restoring the VFS API as it used to be - accessible for all modules. Christoph, who introduced the two functions and exported them GPL-only is CC-ed on this patch to give him the opportunity to object to the symbols being changed in this manner if he did indeed intend them to be GPL-only and does not want them to become available to all modules.

We have a few problems when returning to userspace. This is a quick set of fixes for 3.3, I'll look into a more comprehensive rework for 3.4. This fixes: - We kept interrupts soft-disabled when schedule'ing or calling do_signal when returning to userspace as a result of a hardware interrupt. - Rename do_signal to do_notify_resume like all other archs (and do_signal_pending back to do_signal, which it was before Roland changed it). - Add the missing call to key_replace_session_keyring() to do_notify_resume().

In commit 54321242 ("Disable interrupts early in Program Check"), we switched from enabling to disabling interrupts in program_check_common. Whereas ENABLE_INTS leaves r3 untouched, if lockdep is enabled DISABLE_INTS calls into lockdep code and will clobber r3. That means we pass a bogus struct pt_regs* into program_check_exception() and all hell breaks loose. So load our regs pointer into r3 after we call DISABLE_INTS.

Linus Torvalds authored
The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not 'long'. Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls 'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long' value. We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64 glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_, even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been from the very start. If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc 64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

This provides unified readq()/writeq() helper functions for 32-bit drivers. For some cases, readq/writeq without atomicity is harmful, and order of io access has to be specified explicitly. So in this patch, new two header files which contain non-atomic readq/writeq are added. - <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with the order of lower address -> higher address - <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h> provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with reversed order This allows us to remove some readq()s that were added drivers when the default non-atomic ones were removed in commit dbee8a0a ("x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()") The drivers which need readq/writeq but can do with the non-atomic ones must add the line: #include <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> /* or hi-lo.h */ But this will be nop in 64-bit environments, and no other #ifdefs are required. So I believe that this patch can solve the problem of 1. driver-specific readq/writeq 2. atomicity and order of io access This patch is tested with building allyesconfig and allmodconfig as ARCH=x86 and ARCH=i386 on top of tip/master.

This patch (as1521b) fixes the interaction between usb-storage's scanning thread and the freezer. The current implementation has a race: If the device is unplugged shortly after being plugged in and just as a system sleep begins, the scanning thread may get frozen before the khubd task. Khubd won't be able to freeze until the disconnect processing is complete, and the disconnect processing can't proceed until the scanning thread finishes, so the sleep transition will fail. The implementation in the 3.2 kernel suffers from an additional problem. There the scanning thread calls set_freezable_with_signal(), and the signals sent by the freezer will mess up the thread's I/O delays, which are all interruptible. The solution to both problems is the same: Replace the kernel thread used for scanning with a delayed-work routine on the system freezable work queue. Freezable work queues have the nice property that you can cancel a work item even while the work queue is frozen, and no signals are needed. The 3.2 version of this patch solves the problem in Bugzilla #42730.
