Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.
Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.
The race manifests as follows:
1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.
2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.
3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
to lock out parallel activity against the same block.
4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.
5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
process_bio.
The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:
INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.
The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this.
Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.
Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure
to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that
were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.
This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with
cell_defer_except".

Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.
Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.
If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.
Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.

Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.
The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
userspace buffer there;
4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
buffer into the pointer "param";
5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
in the variable "input_param_size";
6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
kernel buffer.
The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.
The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.
This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.
In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
inet_request_sock.
Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
properly at all.
This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
kernel data structures.
Fixes from Neal Cardwell.
2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
(specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It
very much can be shared in this context.
Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
skb_copy_bits().

This reverts commits a50915394f and

This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.
It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.
So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is

Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional

prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).
This change is needed for two reasons:
(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.
(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,

checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make

Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.
NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().
Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of

When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of
higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's
memory that is considered balanced.
This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.
When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.
Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

Commit 0bf380bc70 ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.
Since commit c89511ab2f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.
In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

On some systems, e.g., kzm9g, MMCIF interfaces can produce spurious
interrupts without any active request. To prevent the Oops, that results
in such cases, don't dereference the mmc request pointer until we make
sure, that we are indeed processing such a request.

2abeb5c5de ("Add clk_(enable/disable) in runtime suspend/resume")
added the capability to stop the clocks when the device is runtime
suspended, but forgot to handle the case of the card-detect using
an external gpio.
Therefore in the case that runtime-pm is enabled, start the io-clock
when a card is inserted and stop it again once it is removed.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
"These are the fixes for the N32 syscall bugs found by Al, an
extraneous break that broke detection for R3000 and R3081 processors,
an endless loop processing signals for kernel task (x86 received the
same fix a while ago) and a fix for transparent huge page which took
ages to track down because it was so hard to come up with a workable
test case."

I can't reproduce it either. It's completely weird; nothing ever
removes lib/oid_registry.c, so either gcc is giving the wrong message
or it's a weird fs with a very odd race.
But your version is definitely more correct than the previous one,
so..."
