cf1b641450 SCSI: fc-transport: Use packed modifier for fc_bsg_request structure.
commit eda05a28ec upstream.

The 32bit kernel does not add padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure
whereas the 64bit kernel adds padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure.
Due to this, structure elements gets mismatched with 32bit application and
64bit kernel.To resolve this, used packed modifier to avoid adding padding bytes.

5eb54e3800 NFSv4: fix delegated locking
commit 0df5dd4aae upstream.

Arnaud Giersch reports that NFSv4 locking is broken when we hold a
delegation since commit 8e469ebd6d (NFSv4:
Don't allow posix locking against servers that don't support it).

According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file
(since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using
delegated opens.

The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is
governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but
gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the
NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.

957c93832c raw: fsync method is now required
commit 55ab3a1ff8 upstream.

Commit 148f948ba8 (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke
the raw driver.

We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync ->
vfs_fsync_range.  vfs_fsync_range has:

        if (!fop || !fop->fsync) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto out;
        }

But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method.

We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely.  I'm
happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it
is rarely used.

The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver.  My knowledge of
the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over.

If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be
useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

a0223a1cdb Freezer: Fix buggy resume test for tasks frozen with cgroup freezer
commit 5a7aadfe2f upstream.

When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw
those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer
state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN.  If so
then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates
that the task should remain frozen.

This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state
transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads
or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that
resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if
there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this
transition before suspend.

NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup
freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons:
Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires
walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen.
Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number
of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code
path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered.

Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy
updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that
a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that
state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen
cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

block: Backport of various I/O topology fixes from 2.6.33 and 2.6.34

The stacking code incorrectly scaled up the data offset in some cases
causing misaligned devices to report alignment.  Rewrite the stacking
algorithm to remedy this.  

(Upstream commit 9504e0864b)

The top device misalignment flag would not be set if the added bottom
device was already misaligned as opposed to causing a stacking failure.
    
Also massage the reporting so that an error is only returned if adding
the bottom device caused the misalignment.  I.e. don't return an error
if the top is already flagged as misaligned.

(Upstream commit fe0b393f2c)


lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments.  The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input.  That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases.  Switch lcm() over to unsigned long
similar to gcd() and move the function from blk-settings.c to lib.

d640f45411 tty: Take a 256 byte padding into account when buffering below sub-page units
commit 352fa6ad16 upstream.

The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations
are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of
"TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the
size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find()
rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on
the size of the tty_buffer.

This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the
size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc()
should not require high-order allocations.

d560f99c9a tty: Keep the default buffering to sub-page units
commit d9661adfb8 upstream.

We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up
small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively
for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try
so hard.

In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room,
which cannot itself enforce this break up.

2605c157ed hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic
commit 41d2e49493 upstream.

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.

Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.

The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

0a660e1ef1 x86: Avoid race condition in pci_enable_msix()
commit ced5b697a7 upstream.

Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq.

When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via
pci_enable_msix() there is a race.  See this dmesg excerpt:

[   85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X

[   85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
at 0000000000000088

As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr()
via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function.

ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe
choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and
calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data =
NULL via dynamic_irq_init().

igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[]
via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this:

	cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data;
	if (cfg_new->vector != 0)
		continue;

This hits the NULL deref.

Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in
the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs():

destroy_irq()
dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL
...race window...
desc->chip_data = cfg;

Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and
destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

7c083ba91b readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM
commit 0141450f66 upstream.

This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.

POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance:
a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads.

In other places, ra_pages==0 means
- it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs
- some IO error happened
where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided.

POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the
*heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully
submit read IO for whatever application requests.

So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.

Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance
noticeably.  And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO
size is not limited by read_ahead_kb).

In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall
(NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

242a71829e netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces
commit d696c7bdaa upstream.

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.

Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

747edef00c netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep
commit 5b3501faa8 upstream.

nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.

If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.

We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).

If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns

3d87cb4438 resource: add helpers for fetching rlimits
commit 3e10e716ab upstream.

We want to be sure that compiler fetches the limit variable only
once, so add helpers for fetching current and maximal resource
limits which do that.

Add them to sched.h (instead of resource.h) due to circular dependency
 sched.h->resource.h->task_struct
Alternative would be to create a separate res_access.h or similar.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.

Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the
code.
