Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Two fixes in this pull request:
- The writeback regression fix from Tejun, which has been weeks in
the making. This fixes a case where we would sometimes not issue
writeback when we should have.
- An older fix for a memory corruption issue in mtip32xx. It was
deferred since we wanted a better fix for this (driver should not
have to handle that case), but given the timing, it's better to put
the simple fix in for 4.2 release"

The effect of getting the width of this register read wrong is that

in during the 4.3 merge window with a tag for 4.2-stable. Otherwise,
this makes the 4.2 kernel fully functional with devices that conform
to the mmio-block-apertures defined in the ACPI 6 NFIT (NVDIMM

While in most cases commit b1d9e6b064 ("LSM: Switch to lists of hooks")
retained previous error returns, in three cases it altered them without
any explanation in the commit message. Restore all of them - in the
security_old_inode_init_security() case this led to reiserfs using
uninitialized data, sooner or later crashing the system (the only other
user of this function - ocfs2 - was unaffected afaict, since it passes
pre-initialized structures).

Hi,
After commit f70ced0917 (blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush
machinery), the mtip32xx driver may oops upon module load due to walking
off the end of an array in mtip_init_cmd. On initialization of the
flush_rq, init_request is called with request_index >= the maximum queue
depth the driver supports. For mtip32xx, this value is used to index
into an array. What this means is that the driver will walk off the end
of the array, and either oops or cause random memory corruption.
The problem is easily reproduced by doing modprobe/rmmod of the mtip32xx
driver in a loop. I can typically reproduce the problem in about 30
seconds.
Now, in the case of mtip32xx, it actually doesn't support flush/fua, so
I think we can simply return without doing anything. In addition, no
other mq-enabled driver does anything with the request_index passed into
init_request(), so no other driver is affected. However, I'm not really
sure what is expected of drivers. Ming, what did you envision drivers
would do when initializing the flush requests?

e79729123f ("writeback: don't issue wb_writeback_work if clean")
updated writeback path to avoid kicking writeback work items if there
are no inodes to be written out; unfortunately, the avoidance logic
was too aggressive and broke sync_inodes_sb().
* sync_inodes_sb() must write out I_DIRTY_TIME inodes but I_DIRTY_TIME
inodes dont't contribute to bdi/wb_has_dirty_io() tests and were
being skipped over.
* inodes are taken off wb->b_dirty/io/more_io lists after writeback
starts on them. sync_inodes_sb() skipping wait_sb_inodes() when
bdi_has_dirty_io() breaks it by making it return while writebacks
are in-flight.
This patch fixes the breakages by
* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
The callers are already testing the condition.
* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from sync_inodes_sb() so that
it always calls into bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and wait_sb_inodes().
* Making bdi_split_work_to_wbs() consider the b_dirty_time list for
WB_SYNC_ALL writebacks.
Kudos to Eryu, Dave and Jan for tracking down the issue.

In the recent x2apic cleanup I got two things really wrong:
1) The safety check in __disable_x2apic which allows the function to
be called unconditionally is backwards. The check is there to
prevent access to the apic MSR in case that the machine has no
apic. Though right now it returns if the machine has an apic and
therefor the disabling of x2apic is never invoked.
2) x2apic_disable() sets x2apic_mode to 0 after registering the local
apic. That's wrong, because register_lapic_address() checks x2apic
mode and therefor takes the wrong code path.
This results in boot failures on machines with x2apic preenabled by
BIOS and can also lead to an fatal MSR access on machines without
apic.
The solutions are simple:
1) Correct the sanity check for apic availability
2) Clear x2apic_mode _before_ calling register_lapic_address()

The reason is the incorrect assumption in fpu_copy(), that FNSAVE
can be executed from math-emu kernels as well.
Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied
by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's
soft math state.
With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern
hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.

I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the
FNINIT instruction in kernel mode.
The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel
mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly)
fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to
the FPU emulator.

Commit c48a11c7ad ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():
if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
skb->pfmemalloc = true;
It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.
So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.
The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.
The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).
