Commit a7a20d103994 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain")
make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async
domain.
However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized
by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes
the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that
"wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be
parsed.
And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on
for mounting the root filesystem.
Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it
timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root
filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they
actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the
scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected
wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans().
[ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken,
but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d0137 ("fix async probe
regression"), so that same commit a7a20d103994 had actually broken
setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ]
Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call
into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device
probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's
no reason not to do this.
So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and
properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now
unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

Pull SELinux regression fixes from James Morris.
Andrew Morton has a box that hit that open perms problem.
I also renamed the "epollwakeup" selinux name for the new capability to
be "block_suspend", to match the rename done by commit d9914cf66181

The VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP ioctl check wasn't added to determine_valid_ioctls().
This caused this ioctl to always return -ENOTTY.
The cause for this was that for 3.5 two patch series were merged, one
changing V4L2 core ioctl handling and one adding new functionality, and
some of the new functionality wasn't handled by the new V4L2 core code.

Pull ARM SoC fixes for SPEAr from Olof Johansson:
"These are arriving very late in the release cycle, but there has been
a change of maintainers on the SPEAr platform and they have needed a
while to get going.
The patch count is higher than I would like at this point, but they're
all relevant fixes and well-contained in their own platform code. I
still think it's suitable 3.5 material and I don't think it should
increase the need for a -rc8 since they are so contained."

On spear320 device supported mode are:
* AUTO_NET_SMII_MODE
* AUTO_NET_MII_MODE
* AUTO_EXP_MODE
* SMALL_PRINTERS_MODE
* EXTENDED_MODE
spear320-evb board is designed for EXTENDED_MODE only, hence it does not
boot correctly in current form where pinctrl part for some devices fail.
Configure and boot the SPEAr320 evaluation board in EXTENDED_MODE.

sys_clk has multiple parents and selection of parent depends on sys_clk_ctrl
register bit no. 23:25, with following possibilities
0XX: pll1_clk
10X: sys_synth_clk
110: pll2_clk
111: pll3_clk
Out of several possibilities (h/w wise) to select same clock parent for
sys_clk, current clock implementation was considering just one value.
When bootloader programmed different (valid) value to select a clock
parent then Linux breaks.
Here, we try to include all possibilities which can lead to same
clock selection thus making Linux independent of bootloader selection
values.

Offlining memory may block forever, waiting for kswapd() to wake up
because kswapd() does not check the event kthread->should_stop before
sleeping.
The proper pattern, from Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, is:
--- waker ---
event_indicated = 1;
wake_up_process(event_daemon);
--- sleeper ---
for (;;) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (event_indicated)
break;
schedule();
}
set_current_state() may be wrapped by:
prepare_to_wait();
In the kswapd() case, event_indicated is kthread->should_stop.
=== offlining memory (waker) ===
kswapd_stop()
kthread_stop()
kthread->should_stop = 1
wake_up_process()
wait_for_completion()
=== kswapd_try_to_sleep (sleeper) ===
kswapd_try_to_sleep()
prepare_to_wait()
.
.
schedule()
.
.
finish_wait()
The schedule() needs to be protected by a test of kthread->should_stop,
which is wrapped by kthread_should_stop().
Reproducer:
Do heavy file I/O in background.
Do a memory offline/online in a tight loop

PM: Rename CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND
|
|
As discussed in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1249726/focus=1288990,
the capability introduced in 4d7e30d98939a0340022ccd49325a3d70f7e0238
to govern EPOLLWAKEUP seems misnamed: this capability is about governing
the ability to suspend the system, not using a particular API flag
(EPOLLWAKEUP). We should make the name of the capability more general
to encourage reuse in related cases. (Whether or not this capability
should also be used to govern the use of /sys/power/wake_lock is a
question that needs to be separately resolved.)
This patch renames the capability to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND. In order to ensure
that the old capability name doesn't make it out into the wild, could you
please apply and push up the tree to ensure that it is incorporated
for the 3.5 release.

11) vlan_info objects leak for the implicit vlan with ID 0 (Amir
Hanania)
12) A fix for TX time stamp handling in gianfar does not transfer socket
ownership from one packet to another correctly, resulting in a
socket write space imbalance (Eric Dumazet)
13) Julia Lawall found several cases where we do a list iteration, and
then at the loop termination unconditionally assume we ended up with
real list object, rather than the list head itself (CNIC, RXRPC,
mISDN).
14) The bonding driver handles procfs moving incorrectly when a device
it manages is moved from one namespace to another (Eric Biederman)
15) Missing memory barriers in stmmac descriptor accesses result in
various crashes (Deepak Sikri)
16) Fix handling of broadcast packets in batman-adv (Simon Wunderlich)
17) Properly check the sanity of sendmsg() lengths in ieee802154's
dgram_sendmsg(). Dave Jones and others have hit and reported this
bug (Sasha Levin)
18) Some drivers (b44 and b43legacy) on 64-bit machines stopped working
because of how netdev_alloc_skb() was adjusted. Such drivers should
now use alloc_skb() for obtaining bounce buffers. (Eric Dumazet)
19) atl1c mis-managed it's link state in that it stops the queue by hand
on link down. The generic networking takes care of that and this
double stop locks the queue down. So simply removing the driver's
queue stop call fixes the problem (Cloud Ren)
20) Fix out-of-memory due to mis-accounting in net_em packet scheduler
(Eric Dumazet)
21) If DCB and SR-IOV are configured at the same time in IXGBE the chip
will hang because this is not supported (Alexander Duyck)
22) A commit to stop drivers using netdev->base_addr broke the CNIC
driver (Michael Chan)
23) Timeout regression in ipset caused by an attempt to fix an overflow
bug (Jozsef Kadlecsik).
24) mac80211 minstrel code allocates memory using incorrect size
(Thomas Huehn)
25) llcp_sock_getname() needs to check for a NULL device otherwise we
OOPS (Sasha Levin)
26) mwifiex leaks memory (Bing Zhao)

====================
I know that we're in fairly late stage to request pulls, but the IPVS people
pinged me with little patches with oops fixes last week.
One of them was recently introduced (during the 3.4 development cycle) while
cleaning up the IPVS netns support. They are:
* Fix one regression introduced in 3.4 while cleaning up the
netns support for IPVS, from Julian Anastasov.
* Fix one oops triggered due to resetting the conntrack attached to the skb
instead of just putting it in the forward hook, from Lin Ming. This problem
seems to be there since 2.6.37 according to Simon Horman.

When rpmsg drivers are built into the kernel, they must not initialize
before the rpmsg bus does, otherwise they'd trigger a BUG() in
drivers/base/driver.c line 169 (driver_register()).
To fix that, and to stop depending on arbitrary linkage ordering of
those built-in rpmsg drivers, we make the rpmsg bus initialize at
subsys_initcall.

After commit 39f618b4fd95ae243d940ec64c961009c74e3333 (3.4)
"ipvs: reset ipvs pointer in netns" we can oops in
ip_vs_dst_event on rmmod ip_vs because ip_vs_control_cleanup
is called after the ipvs_core_ops subsys is unregistered and
net->ipvs is NULL. Fix it by exiting early from ip_vs_dst_event
if ipvs is NULL. It is safe because all services and dests
for the net are already freed.

IPVS should not reset skb->nf_bridge in FORWARD hook
by calling nf_reset for NAT replies. It triggers oops in
br_nf_forward_finish.

The steps to reproduce as follow,
1. On Host1, setup brige br0(192.168.1.106)
2. Boot a kvm guest(192.168.1.105) on Host1 and start httpd
3. Start IPVS service on Host1
ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.1.106:80 -s rr
ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.1.106:80 -r 192.168.1.105:80 -m
4. Run apache benchmark on Host2(192.168.1.101)
ab -n 1000 http://192.168.1.106/
ip_vs_reply4
ip_vs_out
handle_response
ip_vs_notrack
nf_reset()
{
skb->nf_bridge = NULL;
}
Actually, IPVS wants in this case just to replace nfct
with untracked version. So replace the nf_reset(skb) call
in ip_vs_notrack() with a nf_conntrack_put(skb->nfct) call.

there are some out of bound accesses in netprio cgroup.
now before accessing the dev->priomap.priomap array,we only check
if the dev->priomap exist.and because we don't want to see
additional bound checkings in fast path, so we should make sure
that dev->priomap is null or array size of dev->priomap.priomap
is equal to max_prioidx + 1;
so in write_priomap logic,we should call extend_netdev_table when
dev->priomap is null and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len.
and in cgrp_create->update_netdev_tables logic,we should call
extend_netdev_table only when dev->priomap exist and
dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len.
and it's not needed to call update_netdev_tables in write_priomap,
we can only allocate the net device's priomap which we change through
net_prio.ifpriomap.
this patch also add a return value for update_netdev_tables &
extend_netdev_table, so when new_priomap is allocated failed,
write_priomap will stop to access the priomap,and return -ENOMEM
back to the userspace to tell the user what happend.
Change From v3:
1. add rtnl protect when reading max_prioidx in write_priomap.
2. only call extend_netdev_table when map->priomap_len < max_len,
this will make sure array size of dev->map->priomap always
bigger than any prioidx.
3. add a function write_update_netdev_table to make codes clear.
Change From v2:
1. protect extend_netdev_table by RTNL.
2. when extend_netdev_table failed,call dev_put to reduce device's refcount.

The commit 4197aa7bb81877ebb06e4f2cc1b5fea2da23a7bd implements 64 bit
per ring statistics. But the driver resets the 'total_bytes' and
'total_packets' from RX and TX rings in the RX and TX interrupt
handlers to zero. This results in statistics being lost and user space
reporting RX and TX statistics as zero. This patch addresses the
issue by preventing the resetting of RX and TX ring statistics to
zero.

[22766.601221] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
It appears from his analysis and some staring at the code that this is likely
occuring because an association is getting freed while still on the
sctp_assoc_hashtable. As a result, we get a gpf when traversing the hashtable
while a freed node corrupts part of the list.
Nominally I would think that an mibalanced refcount was responsible for this,
but I can't seem to find any obvious imbalance. What I did note however was
that the two places where we create an association using
sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE (__sctp_connect and sctp_sendmsg), have failure paths
which free a newly created association after calling sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE.
sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE brings us into the sctp_sf_do_prm_asoc path, which
issues a SCTP_CMD_NEW_ASOC side effect, which in turn adds a new association to
the aforementioned hash table. the sctp command interpreter that process side
effects has not way to unwind previously processed commands, so freeing the
association from the __sctp_connect or sctp_sendmsg error path would lead to a
freed association remaining on this hash table.
I've fixed this but modifying sctp_[un]hash_established to use hlist_del_init,
which allows us to proerly use hlist_unhashed to check if the node is on a
hashlist safely during a delete. That in turn alows us to safely call
sctp_unhash_established in the __sctp_connect and sctp_sendmsg error paths
before freeing them, regardles of what the associations state is on the hash
list.
I noted, while I was doing this, that the __sctp_unhash_endpoint was using
hlist_unhsashed in a simmilar fashion, but never nullified any removed nodes
pointers to make that function work properly, so I fixed that up in a simmilar
fashion.
I attempted to test this using a virtual guest running the SCTP_RR test from
netperf in a loop while running the trinity fuzzer, both in a loop. I wasn't
able to recreate the problem prior to this fix, nor was I able to trigger the
failure after (neither of which I suppose is suprising). Given the trace above
however, I think its likely that this is what we hit.

When we get back a FIND_FIRST/NEXT result, we have some info about the
dentry that we use to instantiate a new inode. We were ignoring and
discarding that info when we had an existing dentry in the cache.
Fix this by updating the inode in place when we find an existing dentry
and the uniqueid is the same.

Jian found that when he ran fsx on a 32 bit arch with a large wsize the
process and one of the bdi writeback kthreads would sometimes deadlock
with a stack trace like this:

Each task would kmap part of its address array before getting stuck, but
not enough to actually issue the write.
This patch fixes this by serializing the marshal_iov operations for
async reads and writes. The idea here is to ensure that cifs
aggressively tries to populate a request before attempting to fulfill
another one. As soon as all of the pages are kmapped for a request, then
we can unlock and allow another one to proceed.
There's no need to do this serialization on non-CONFIG_HIGHMEM arches
however, so optimize all of this out when CONFIG_HIGHMEM isn't set.

We currently rely on being able to kmap all of the pages in an async
read or write request. If you're on a machine that has CONFIG_HIGHMEM
set then that kmap space is limited, sometimes to as low as 512 slots.
With 512 slots, we can only support up to a 2M r/wsize, and that's
assuming that we can get our greedy little hands on all of them. There
are other users however, so it's possible we'll end up stuck with a
size that large.
Since we can't handle a rsize or wsize larger than that currently, cap
those options at the number of kmap slots we have. We could consider
capping it even lower, but we currently default to a max of 1M. Might as
well allow those luddites on 32 bit arches enough rope to hang
themselves.
A more robust fix would be to teach the send and receive routines how
to contend with an array of pages so we don't need to marshal up a kvec
array at all. That's a fairly significant overhaul though, so we'll need
this limit in place until that's ready.

A user reported a crash in cifs_demultiplex_thread() caused by an
incorrectly set mid_q_entry->callback() function. It appears that the
callback assignment made in cifs_call_async() was not flushed back to
memory suggesting that a memory barrier was required here. Changing the
code to make sure that the mid_q_entry structure was completely
initialised before it was added to the pending queue fixes the problem.
