Sometimes when reporting a MIC failure rx->key may be unset. This
code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast
address, and decryption is performed in HW.
Fortunately, the failing key_idx is not used for anything up to
(and including) usermode, so we allow ourselves to drop it on the
way up when a key cannot be retrieved.

The Freescale DIU framebuffer driver defines two constants, MIN_PIX_CLK and
MAX_PIX_CLK, that are supposed to represent the lower and upper limits of
the pixel clock. These values, however, are true only for one platform
clock rate (533MHz) and only for the MPC8610. So the actual range for
the pixel clock is chip-specific, which means the current values are almost
always wrong. The chance of an out-of-range pixel clock being used are also
remote.
Rather than try to detect an out-of-range clock in the DIU driver, we depend
on the board-specific pixel clock function (e.g. p1022ds_set_pixel_clock)
to clamp the pixel clock to a supported value.

The PM core doesn't handle suspend failures correctly when it comes to
asynchronously suspended devices. These devices are moved onto the
dpm_suspended_list as soon as the corresponding async thread is
started up, and they remain on the list even if they fail to suspend
or the sleep transition is cancelled before they get suspended. As a
result, when the PM core unwinds the transition, it tries to resume
the devices even though they were never suspended.
This patch (as1474) fixes the problem by adding a new "is_suspended"
flag to dev_pm_info. Devices are resumed only if the flag is set.
[rjw:
* Moved the dev->power.is_suspended check into device_resume(),
because we need to complete dev->power.completion and clear
dev->power.is_prepared too for devices whose
dev->power.is_suspended flags are unset.
* Fixed __device_suspend() to avoid setting dev->power.is_suspended
if async_error is different from zero.]

Commit 13e12d14e2dc ("vfs: reorganize 'struct inode' layout a bit")
moved things around a bit changed i_state to be unsigned int instead of
unsigned long. That was to help structure layout for the 64-bit case,
and shrink 'struct inode' a bit (admittedly that only happened when
spinlock debugging was on and i_flags didn't pack with i_lock).
However, Meelis Roos reports that this results in unaligned exceptions
on sprc, and it turns out that the bit-locking primitives that we use
for the I_NEW bit want to use the bitops. Which want 'unsigned long',
not 'unsigned int'.
We really should fix the bit locking code to not have that kind of
requirement, but that's a much bigger change. So for now, revert that
field back to 'unsigned long' (but keep the other re-ordering changes
from the commit that caused this).
Andi points out that we have played games with this in 'struct page', so
it's solvable with other hacks too, but since right now the struct inode
size advantage only happens with some rare config options, it's not
worth fighting.
It _would_ be worth fixing the bitlocking code, though. Especially
since there is no type safety in the bitlocking code (this never caused
any warnings, and worked fine on x86-64, because the bitlocks take a
'void *' and x86-64 doesn't care that deeply about alignment). So it's
currently a very easy problem to trigger by mistake and never notice.

____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit
17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes
all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.
The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That
means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
_before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
system.
This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
/sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
with ENOKEY unconditionally.

enabling interrupts
There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due
to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI
comes before call_single_queue is initialized.
To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init()
and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be
initialized before enabling interrupts.
The details of the crash are:
(1) 2nd kernel boots up
(2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled
in start_kernel().
(3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue
is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the
generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer
dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access
&q->list.next.
Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data()
to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable()
in start_kernel().

This workaround aims to break the deadlock situation
which raises during continuous transfer of data for long
duration over uart with hardware flow control. It is
observed that CTS interrupt cannot be cleared in uart
interrupt register (ICR). Hence further transfer over
uart gets blocked.
It is seen that during such deadlock condition ICR
don't get cleared even on multiple write. This leads
pass_counter to decrease and finally reach zero. This
can be taken as trigger point to run this UART_BT_WA.
Workaround backups the register configuration, does soft
reset of UART using BIT-0 of PRCC_K_SOFTRST_SET/CLEAR
registers and restores the registers.
This patch also provides support for uart init and exit
function calls if present.

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been
observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC.
The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt
handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the
TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the
unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled
region to avoid that.

Some RS690 chipsets seem to end up with floating connectors, either

response for each byte of the i2c transaction, so we detect this
case and if we see it we don't do anymore DDC transactions on this
connector.

The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist. Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback. However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs. Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.
Make the default hostname configurable. This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration. Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific
target hostname.

Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236)
that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual
Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB). He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on
a very traditional single-process model.
* a master process which reads config files and manages the other
process
* multiple imapd processes, one per connection
* multiple pop3d processes, one per connection
* multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection
* periodical "cleanup" processes.
There are thousands of independent processes. The problem is, recent
Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional
prefork model software don't work well on it. Unfortunatelly, such models
are still typical even in the 21st century. We can't ignore them.
This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30. 30 doesn't have
any specific meaning. but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and
such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional
servers as above. The intention is that these machines don't use
zone_reclaim_mode.
Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions.
This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior.
Dave Hansen said:
: I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information
: in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode
: behavior which that implies.
:
: They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks
: to make sure that they _want_ this turned on. What this means for them
: is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of
: the kernel.
:
: If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we
: should do. Have a list of specific configurations that need the
: defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an

: table.
And later said:
: The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a

: hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to
: make the kernel do what it wants. :)
:
: Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained. So, I

Fix <linux/kmsg_dump.h> when CONFIG_PRINTK is not enabled:
include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:56: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:61: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
Looks like commit 595dd3d8bf95 ("kmsg_dump: fix build for
CONFIG_PRINTK=n") uses EINVAL without having the needed header file(s),
but I'm sure that I build tested that patch also. oh well.

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.
Why?
Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.
And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable.
This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive. That's bad.
This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up
hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically,
if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we
really want to quit instead of retrying.

Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.
The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.
Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
following race:
TASK1 TASK2
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
...
processing t_forget list
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
if (!jh->b_transaction) {
jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
__journal_try_to_free_buffer()
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and
buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head
before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be
released by try_to_free_buffers() after
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for
oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).
Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head
reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head
explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just
remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is
that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
__jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we
have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.
Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.
