1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
state necessary to return read completions is available. However the
process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.
2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev->toread. The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read. R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.

This is an addendum to commit
0e6e7416 ("IB/mlx4: Handle new FW
requirement for send request prefetching"). We also need to handle
prefetch marking properly for S/G segments, or else the HCA may end up
processing S/G segments that are not fully written and end up sending
the wrong data. This can actually cause data corruption in practice,
especially on systems with relatively slow CPUs (where the HCA is more
likely to prefetch while the CPU is in the middle of writing a work
request into memory).
We write S/G segments in reverse order into the WQE, in order to
guarantee that the first dword of all cachelines containing S/G
segments is written last (overwriting the headroom invalidation
pattern). The entire cacheline will thus contain valid data when the
invalidation pattern is overwritten.

clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko
In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.
Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resume
device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.
After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.
We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.
Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.

ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writes
The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except
that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page
size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k
pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size.
Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are
handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just
writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass.
This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the
same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the
maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where
it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more
than it asked for.
Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which
allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and
just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial
reservation.

In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during

all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.

rpc: fix garbage in printk in svc_tcp_accept()
we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since
then we get the message
lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads
lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D
These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in
svc_tcp_accept.
(Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf))
calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly;
but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed. This is
less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a

[PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify
cloned skb data. It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the
original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for
ppp_async and ppp_sync.
The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting
for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit. The original code leaked any
existing socket skb accounting. We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner. However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.
In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket. In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP. So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit. The accounting still
applies to control packets of course.
I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work.
I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

Driver core: fix deprectated sysfs structure for nested class devices
Nested class devices used to have 'device' symlink point to a real

uml: fix irqstack crash
This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.
However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.
This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.
The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.
Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.
Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.
This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.
Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later.
On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.
Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.
For example simple program
#include <sched.h>
char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];
int f(void *foo)
{
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
return 0;
}
run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.
This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.
