On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
have been removed. Here's a trivial reproducer:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy
It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.
Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:
those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir.
(I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the
unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.)
tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's
correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

While using pacemaker/corosync, the node numbers are generated using IP
address as opposed to serial node number generation. This may not fit
in a 8-byte string. Use a bigger string to print the complete node

If the system had a few memory groups and all of them were destroyed,
memcg_limited_groups_array_size has non-zero value, but all new caches
are created without memcg_params, because memcg_kmem_enabled() returns
false.
We try to enumirate child caches in a few places and all of them are
potentially dangerous.
For example my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SLAB and it crashed when I
tryed to mount a NFS share after a few experiments with kmemcg.

"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.
The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes
if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))
to blow up. Why is it passing in a bad pfn?
The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times. sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block. Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.

According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."
Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.
Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.
This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf0867 ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.
There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic. The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.
This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.
[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
goes to me.
Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
changes. - Linus ]

This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
spinlock.
NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
spinlocks. The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
interfaces.
[ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
version of the original patch by Waiman. In order to properly credit
the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman. So
blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
opens. - Linus ]

This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list
of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to
function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434
is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710,
which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So
hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this
workaround.

Some architectures, such as ARM-32 do not return the same base address
when you call kmap_atomic() twice on the same page.
This causes problems for the memmove() call in the XDR helper routine
"_shift_data_right_pages()", since it defeats the detection of
overlapping memory ranges, and has been seen to corrupt memory.
The fix is to distinguish between the case where we're doing an
inter-page copy or not. In the former case of we know that the memory
ranges cannot possibly overlap, so we can additionally micro-optimise
by replacing memmove() with memcpy().

This reverts commit bb2314b47996491bbc5add73633905c3120b6268.
It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.
It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new. But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.
We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

The net_device might be not set on the skb when we try refcounting.
This leads to a null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output().
It turned out that the refcount to the net_device is not needed
after all. The dst_entry has a refcount to the net_device before
we queue the skb, so it can't go away. Therefore we can remove the
refcount on queueing to fix the null pointer dereference.

The recent commit to delay the release of kobject triggered NULL
dereferences of opti9xx drivers. The cause is that all
snd-opti92x-ad1848, snd-opti92x-cs4231 and snd-opti93x drivers
register the PnP card driver with the very same name, and also
snd-opti92x-ad1848 and -cs4231 drivers register the ISA driver with
the same name, too. When these drivers are built in, quick
"register-release-and-re-register" actions occur, and this results in
Oops because of the same name is assigned to the kobject.
The fix is simply to assign individual names. As a bonus, by using
KBUILD_MODNAME, the patch reduces more lines than it adds.
The fix is based on the suggestion by Russell King.

If driver will fail to allocate all queues, it will shrink the number of
queues and move the storage queue to its correct place (i.e., the last
queue among the newly supported number).
When changing the pointers of the new location of the FCoE queue, we need
to pay special attention to the aggregations pointer - that memory is allocated
during probe and released upon driver removal. Current implementation has 2
pointers pointing to the same chunk of allocated memory, meaning upon removal
there will be two kfree() of the same chunk while the other won't be released.

nsproxy.pid_ns is *not* the task's pid namespace. The name should clarify
that.
This makes it more obvious that setns on a pid namespace is weird --
it won't change the pid namespace shown in procfs.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here are 3 bug fixes that should probably go into 3.11 since I'm also
tagging them for stable.
Once fixes our old /proc/powerpc/lparcfg file which provides partition
informations when running under our hypervisor and also acts as a
user-triggerable Oops when hot :-(
The other two respectively are a one liner to fix a HVSI protocol
handshake problem causing the console to fail to show up on a bunch of
machines until we reach userspace, which I deem annoying enough to
warrant going to stable, and a nasty gcc miscompile causing us to pass
virtual instead of physical addresses to the firmware under some
circumstances"
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms.
powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit
powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor

Dave reported corrupted swap entries

and Hugh pointed that in move_ptes _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set regardless
the type of entry pte consists of. The trick here is that when we carry
soft dirty status in swap entries we are to use _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY
instead, because this is the only place in pte which can be used for own
needs without intersecting with bits owned by swap entry type/offset.

This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is
too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually
become workable but much later into the boot process.
Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger
for more reliability.
This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary
bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
gcc as something like:
addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l
This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.
To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND
operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)

/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.
It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.
In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
an hypervisor either.
Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.
This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

Commit 9a11899c5e69 (USB: OHCI: add missing PCI PM callbacks to
ohci-pci.c) added missing ohci_suspend and ohci_resume callback
pointers, but forgot that these callbacks are declared and defined
only when CONFIG_PM is enabled.
This patch adds a preprocessor conditional to avoid build errors when
PM is disabled.

Currently we don't initialize skb->protocol when transmitting data via
tcp, raw(with and without inclhdr) or udp+ufo or appending data directly
to the socket transmit queue (via ip6_append_data). This needs to be
done so that we can get the correct mtu in the xfrm layer.
Setting of skb->protocol happens only in functions where we also have
a transmitting socket and a new skb, so we don't overwrite old values.

In commit 0ea9d5e3e0e03a63b11392f5613378977dae7eca ("xfrm: introduce
helper for safe determination of mtu") I switched the determination of
ipv4 mtus from dst_mtu to ip_skb_dst_mtu. This was an error because in
case of IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE we fall back to the interface mtu, which is
never correct for ipv4 ipsec.
This patch partly reverts 0ea9d5e3e0e03a63b11392f5613378977dae7eca
("xfrm: introduce helper for safe determination of mtu").

The IO command size is 128 bytes for these new controllers as opposed to 64
for the old 8001 controller.
The Adaptec out-of-tree driver did this correctly. After comparing the two
this turned out to be the crucial difference.
So don't hardcode the IO command size, instead use pm8001_ha->iomb_size as
that is the correct value for both old and new controllers.
