Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands,
do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1).
So instead use LBA48 for such accesses.
This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has
taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems,
it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at
0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with
move_account (happens at rmdir()).
increment page->mapcount (rmap.c)
mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account()
lock_page_cgroup()
check page_mapped() if
page_mapped(page)>1 {
FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg
FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg
}
.....
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
lock_page_cgroup()
FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
Then,
old memcg (-1 file mapped)
new memcg (+2 file mapped)
This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded
by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup
and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous
with lock_page_cgroup().

When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of
pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was
evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each
hugepage. This patch fixes it.
$ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7f21e8a00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________

One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each
two lines represent each hugepage. Voffset and offset mean virtual
address and physical address in the page unit, respectively. The
different hugepages should not have the same offset value.
With this patch applied:
$ page-types -p 3386 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7fec7a600 112c00 1 ___UD__________H_G________________

OK
More info:
- This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker. But the
change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage
callback.
- Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that
doesn't match the natural expectation from its name.
- With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the
callback can become much simpler.

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.

DECLARE_KFIFO creates a union with a struct kfifo and a buffer array with
size [size + sizeof(struct kfifo)].
INIT_KFIFO then sets the buffer pointer in struct kfifo to point to the
beginning of the buffer array which means that the first call to kfifo_in
will overwrite members of the struct kfifo.

Some BIOSes don't configure HPA during boot but do so while resuming.
This causes harddrives to shrink during resume making libata detach
and reattach them. This can be worked around by unlocking HPA if old
size equals native size.
Add ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA so that HPA unlocking can be controlled
per-device and update ata_dev_revalidate() such that it sets
ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA and fails with -EIO when the above condition is
detected.
This patch fixes the following bug.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.
Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.
Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.

This allows arch code could decide the way to reserve the ibft.
And we should reserve ibft as early as possible, instead of BOOTMEM
stage, in case the table is in RAM range and is not reserved by BIOS
(this will often be the case.)
Move to just after find_smp_config().
Also when CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, We will not have reserve_bootmem() anymore.

I noticed that my KVM virtual machines were experiencing IDE
issues resulting in processes stuck on waiting for buffers to
complete.
The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu
backend that I'm using. However, the fact that the guest isn't
recovering is a bug.
I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue
requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer.

ide: dequeue in-flight request
The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not
requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for
each DMA timeout.
This patch fixes this by requeueing the request.

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
in perf_swevent_add().
Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.
Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
we need to save the current context.
This makes the task migration event working and fix the context
switch callchains and origin ip.
