pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvements
FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported
by Steinar :
1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order
to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current
delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can
be too high.
Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO,
and default FQ quantum is 2*1514.
(Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help
to not having to disable TSO in the first place)

usb: gadget: f_fs: fix error handling
This patch add missing error check in ffs_func_bind() function, after
ffs_do_descs() function call for high speed descriptors. Without this
check it's possible that the module will try dereference incorrect
pointer.
This went unnoticed in durin the merge window:
The dsps driver creates a child device for the musb core driver _and_
attaches the of_node to it so devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle() grabs the
correct phy and attaches the devm resources to the proper device. We
could also use the parent device but then devm would attach the
resource to the wrong device and it would be destroyed once the parent
device is gone - not the device that is used by the musb core driver.
If the phy is now not available then dsps_musb_init() /
devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle() returns with EPROBE_DEFER. Since the
of_node is attached it tries OF drivers as well and matches the driver
against DSPS. That one creates a new child device for the musb core
driver which gets probed immediately.
The whole thing repeats itself until the stack overflows.
I belive the same problem exists in ux500 glue code (since 313bdb11
("usb: musb: ux500: add device tree probing support") but the drivers are
now probed in the right order so they don't see it.
The problem is that the dsps driver gets bound to the musb-child device
due to the same of_node / matching binding. I don't really agree with
having yet another child node in DT to fix this. Ideally we would have
musb core driver with DT bindings and according to the binding we would
select the few extra hacks / gleue layer.
Therefore I suggest the driver to reject the musb-core device.
The OMAP GPIO controller HW requires a pin to be configured in GPIO
input mode in order to operate as an interrupt input. Since drivers
should not be aware of whether an interrupt pin is also a GPIO or not,
the HW should be fully configured/enabled as an IRQ if a driver solely
uses IRQ APIs such as request_irq(), and never calls any GPIO-related
APIs. As such, add the missing HW setup to the OMAP GPIO controller's
irq_chip driver.
Since this bypasses the GPIO subsystem we have to ensure that another
driver won't be able to request the same GPIO pin that is used as an
IRQ and set its direction as output. Requesting the GPIO and setting
its direction as input is allowed though.
This fixes smsc911x ethernet support for tobi and igep OMAP3 boards
and OMAP4 SDP SPI based ethernet that use a GPIO as an interrupt line.
The GPIO OMAP controller pins can be used as IRQ and GPIO
independently so is necessary to keep track GPIO pins and
IRQ lines usage separately to make sure that the bank will
always be enabled while being used.
Also move gpio_is_input() definition in preparation for the
next patch that setups the controller's irq_chip driver when
a caller requests an interrupt line.
irq: Force hardirq exit's softirq processing on its own stack
The commit facd8b80c67a3cf64a467c4a2ac5fb31f2e6745b
("irq: Sanitize invoke_softirq") converted irq exit
calls of do_softirq() to __do_softirq() on all architectures,
assuming it was only used there for its irq disablement
properties.
But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end
of the hardirq are always called on the inline current
stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq
stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq().
The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit()
on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed
on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming
hardirq aren't nesting).
Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq
too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and
the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the
injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing
the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example:
Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic
and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of
softirqs on the softirq stack. This way we should reduce significantly
the opportunities for task stack overflow dug by softirqs.
Longer term solutions may involve extending the hardirq stack coverage to
irq_exit(), etc...

Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the
following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up:
dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of
device might be broken.
The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last
slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond
mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add
and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when
we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to
determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But
since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we
incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode
to begin with, causing the above error
Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function
and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity.

tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit
When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of

Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small
for high rates.
Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO
auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device
queues.
New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets.
Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller
number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery,
better RTT estimations.
High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets

Commit f95499c3030fe1bfad57745f2db1959c5b43dca8,
n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop
creates a race window which can cause a pty master read()
to miss the last pty slave write(s) and return -EIO instead,
thus signalling the pty slave is closed. This can happen when
the pty slave is written and immediately closed but before the
tty buffer i/o loop receives the new input; the pty master
read() is scheduled, sees its read buffer is empty and the
pty slave has been closed, and exits.
Because tty_flush_to_ldisc() has significant performance impact
for parallel i/o, rather than revert the commit, special case this
condition (ie., when the read buffer is empty and the 'other' pty
has been closed) and, only then, wait for buffer work to complete
before re-testing if the read buffer is still empty.
As before, subsequent pty master reads return any available data
until no more data is available, and then returns -EIO to
indicate the pty slave has closed.

before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on

First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:
Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment
number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.
Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:
Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list. Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.
It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:
The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.
FIX:
This patch adds:
(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
for every proccessed dirty block;
(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();
(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

mm/bounce.c: fix a regression where MS_SNAP_STABLE (stable pages snapshotting) was ignored
The "force" parameter in __blk_queue_bounce was being ignored, which
means that stable page snapshots are not always happening (on ext3).

kernel/kmod.c: check for NULL in call_usermodehelper_exec()
If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.
This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a84 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit 7f57cfa4e2aa ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").
This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).
The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly. This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface. Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires
a proper synchronization.
But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.
Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.
If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.
The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race. Details are below.
The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.
I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.
The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.
Details of the bug:
Assume:
- sma->complex_count = 0.
- Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
- Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).
Pseudo-Trace:
Thread 1: sem_lock(): acquire sem_perm.lock

ipv6: Fix preferred_lft not updating in some cases
Consider the scenario where an IPv6 router is advertising a fixed
preferred_lft of 1800 seconds, while the valid_lft begins at 3600
seconds and counts down in realtime.
A client should reset its preferred_lft to 1800 every time the RA is
received, but a bug is causing Linux to ignore the update.
The core problem is here:
if (prefered_lft != ifp->prefered_lft) {
Note that ifp->prefered_lft is an offset, so it doesn't decrease over
time. Thus, the comparison is always (1800 != 1800), which fails to
trigger an update.
The most direct solution would be to compute a "stored_prefered_lft",
and use that value in the comparison. But I think that trying to filter
out unnecessary updates here is a premature optimization. In order for
the filter to apply, both of these would need to hold:
- The advertised valid_lft and preferred_lft are both declining in
real time.
- No clock skew exists between the router & client.
So in this patch, I've set "update_lft = 1" unconditionally, which
allows the surrounding code to be greatly simplified.
While sending packet skb_cow_head() can change skb header which
invalidates inner_iph pointer to skb header. Following patch
avoid using it. Found by code inspection.

ARM: vexpress: tc2: fix hotplug/idle/kexec race on cluster power down
On the TC2 testchip, when all CPUs in a cluster enter standbywfi
and commit a power down request, the power controller will wait
for standbywfil2 coming from L2 cache controller to shut the
cluster down.
By the time all CPUs in a cluster commit a power down request
and enter wfi, the power controller cannot backtrack, or put it
another way, a CPU must not be allowed to complete execution
independently of the power controller, the only way for it to
resume properly must be upon wake-up IRQ pending and subsequent
reset triggered from the power controller.
Current MCPM back-end for TC2 disables the GIC CPU IF only when
power down is committed through the tc2_pm_suspend() method, that
makes sense since a suspended CPU is still online and can receive
interrupts whereas a hotplugged CPU, since it is offline,
migrated all IRQs and shutdown the per-CPU peripherals, hence
their PPIs.
The flaw with this reasoning is the following. If all CPUs in
a clusters are entering a power down state either through CPU
idle or CPU hotplug, when the last man successfully completes
the MCPM power down sequence (and executes wfi), power controller
waits for L2 wfi signal to quiesce the cluster and shut it down.
If, when all CPUs are sitting in wfi, an online CPU hotplugs back
in one of the CPUs in the cluster being shutdown, that CPU
receives an IPI that causes wfi to complete (since tc2_pm_down()
method does not disable the GIC CPU IF in that case - CPU being
hotplugged out, not idle) and the power controller will never see
the stanbywfil2 signal coming from L2 that is required for
shutdown to happen and the system deadlocks.
Further to this issue, kexec hotplugs secondary CPUs out during
kernel reload/restart.
Because kexec may (deliberately) trash the old kernel text, it is
not OK for CPUs to follow the MCPM soft reboot path, since
instructions after the WFI may have been replaced by kexec.
If tc2_pm_down() does not disable the GIC cpu interface, there is a
race between CPU powerdown in the old kernel and the IPI from the
new kernel that triggers secondary boot, particularly if the
powerdown is slow (due to L2 cache cleaning for example). If the
new kernel wins the race, the affected CPU(s) will not really be
reset and may execute garbage after the WFI.
The only solution to this problem consists in disabling the GIC
CPU IF on a CPU committed to power down regardless of the power
down entry method (CPU hotplug or CPU idle). This way, CPU wake-up
is under power controller control, which prevents unexpected wfi
exit caused by a pending IRQ.
This patch moves the GIC CPU IF disable call in the TC2 MCPM
implementation from the tc2_pm_suspend() method to the
tc2_pm_down() method to fix the mentioned race condition(s).
