A recent change to md started the ->sync_thread from a asynchronously
from a work_queue rather than synchronously. This means that there
can be a small window between the time when MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
and when ->sync_thread is set.
So code that checks ->sync_thread might now conclude that the thread
has not been started and (because a lock is held) will not be started.
That is no longer the case.
Most of those places are best fixed by testing MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
as well. To make this completely reliable, we wake_up(&resync_wait)
after clearing that flag as well as after clearing ->sync_thread.
Other places are better served by flushing the relevant workqueue
to ensure that that if the sync thread was starting, it has now
started. This is particularly best if we are about to stop the
sync thread.

Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
way to specify different caching modes in page table entries. The
PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
_PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

Somehow one of the instance of freeing resources failed to use kfree_rcu() and
used kfree() instead. This might cause problems as the node might be referenced
by readers under rcu locks and we must wait for the rcu grace period as well.
While we are at it, also update comment over 'struct device_opp' to mention why
we are waiting for both rcu and srcu grace periods.

When we abort a transaction we iterate over all the ranges marked as dirty
in fs_info->freed_extents[0] and fs_info->freed_extents[1], clear them
from those trees, add them back (unpin) to the free space caches and, if
the fs was mounted with "-o discard", perform a discard on those regions.
Also, after adding the regions to the free space caches, a fitrim ioctl call
can see those ranges in a block group's free space cache and perform a discard
on the ranges, so the same issue can happen without "-o discard" as well.
This causes corruption, affecting one or multiple btree nodes (in the worst
case leaving the fs unmountable) because some of those ranges (the ones in
the fs_info->pinned_extents tree) correspond to btree nodes/leafs that are
referred by the last committed super block - breaking the rule that anything
that was committed by a transaction is untouched until the next transaction
commits successfully.
I ran into this while running in a loop (for several hours) the fstest that
I recently submitted:
[PATCH] fstests: add btrfs test to stress chunk allocation/removal and fstrim
The corruption always happened when a transaction aborted and then fsck complained
like this:
_check_btrfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdc is inconsistent
*** fsck.btrfs output ***
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
read block failed check_tree_block
Couldn't open file system
In this case 94945280 corresponded to the root of a tree.
Using frace what I observed was the following sequence of steps happened:
1) transaction N started, fs_info->pinned_extents pointed to
fs_info->freed_extents[0];
2) node/eb 94945280 is created;
3) eb is persisted to disk;
4) transaction N commit starts, fs_info->pinned_extents now points to
fs_info->freed_extents[1], and transaction N completes;
5) transaction N + 1 starts;
6) eb is COWed, and btrfs_free_tree_block() called for this eb;
7) eb range (94945280 to 94945280 + 16Kb) is added to
fs_info->pinned_extents (fs_info->freed_extents[1]);
8) Something goes wrong in transaction N + 1, like hitting ENOSPC
for example, and the transaction is aborted, turning the fs into
readonly mode. The stack trace I got for example:

[112065.264997] BTRFS info (device sdc): forced readonly
9) The clear kthread sees that the BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR bit is set in
fs_info->fs_state and calls btrfs_cleanup_transaction(), which in
turn calls btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent();
10) Then btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent() iterates over all the ranges
marked as dirty in fs_info->freed_extents[], and for each one
it calls discard, if the fs was mounted with "-o discard", and
adds the range to the free space cache of the respective block
group;
11) btrfs_trim_block_group(), invoked from the fitrim ioctl code path,
sees the free space entries and performs a discard;
12) After an umount and mount (or fsck), our eb's location on disk was full
of zeroes, and it should have been untouched, because it was marked as
dirty in the fs_info->pinned_extents tree, and therefore used by the
trees that the last committed superblock points to.
Fix this by not performing a discard and not adding the ranges to the free space
caches - it's useless from this point since the fs is now in readonly mode and
we won't write free space caches to disk anymore (otherwise we would leak space)
nor any new superblock. By not adding the ranges to the free space caches, it
prevents other code paths from allocating that space and write to it as well,
therefore being safer and simpler.
This isn't a new problem, as it's been present since 2011 (git commit
acce952b0263825da32cf10489413dec78053347).

The call to remove_extent_mapping() actually deletes the extent map
from the list it's included in - fs_info->pinned_chunks - and that
list is protected by the chunk mutex. Therefore make that call
while holding the chunk mutex and remove the redundant list delete
call because it's a noop.
This fixes an overlook of the patch titled

following the same obvervation from the patch titled

237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),

This patch effectively reverts commit 500f80872645 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd565553 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.
While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.
Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.

For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing
discipline, but rather jhash() instead.
Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker
would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived
arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by
using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64.
While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should
be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very
flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines,
if legitimate.

Kernel CAPI has been the recommended ISDN subsystem for the Gigaset
driver since kernel release 2.6.34.2. It provides full backwards
compatibility to the old I4L subsystem thanks to the capidrv module.
I4L has been marked as deprecated for more than seven years.

firewire-core uses fw_card.lock to protect topology data and transaction
data. firewire-sbp2 uses fw_card.lock for entirely unrelated purposes.
Introduce a sbp2_target.lock to firewire-sbp2 and replace all
fw_card.lock uses in the driver. fw_card.lock is now entirely private
to firewire-core. This has no immediate advantage apart from making it
clear in the code that firewire-sbp2 does not interact with the core
via the core lock.

The assertion in the comment in sbp2_allow_block() is no longer true.
Or maybe it never was true. At least now, the sole caller of
sbp2_allow_block(), sbp2_login, can run concurrently to one of
sbp2_unblock()'s callers, sbp2_remove.
sbp2_login is performed by sbp2_logical_unit.work.
sbp2_remove is performed by fw_device.work.
sbp2_remove cancels sbp2_logical_unit.work, but only after it called
sbp2_unblock.

fw_csr_string() truncates and terminates target strings like strlcpy()
does. Unlike strlcpy(), it returns the target strlen, not the source
strlen, hence users of fw_csr_string() are unable to detect truncation.
Point this behavior out in the kerneldoc comment.

commit 908344cdda80 ("tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling")
introduced a race in the broadcast link wakeup functionality.
This patch eliminates this broadcast link wakeup race caused by
operation on the wakeup list without proper locking. If this race
hit and corrupted the list all subsequent wakeup messages would be
lost, resulting in a considerable memory leak.

This patch series implements a means of allocating page fragments without
