2014-02-02NVMe: Namespace use after free on surprise removalKeith Busch
An nvme block device may have open references when the device is removed. New commands may still be sent on the removed device, so we need to ref count the opens, return errors for new commands, and not free the namespace and nvme_dev until all references are closed.

2014-02-02iwlwifi: mvm: don't allow A band if SKU forbids itEmmanuel Grumbach
The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there is an old version of the NVM in the wild. In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says that A band isn't supported at all. With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware don't. This leads to asserts.

2014-02-01Revert "PCI: Remove from bus_list and release resources in pci_release_dev()"Rafael J. Wysocki
Revert commit ef83b0781a73 "PCI: Remove from bus_list and release resources in pci_release_dev()" that made some nasty race conditions become possible. For example, if a Thunderbolt link is unplugged and then replugged immediately, the pci_release_dev() resulting from the hot-remove code path may be racing with the hot-add code path which after that commit causes various kinds of breakage to happen (up to and including a hard crash of the whole system). Moreover, the problem that commit ef83b0781a73 attempted to address cannot happen any more after commit 8a4c5c329de7 "PCI: Check parent kobject in pci_destroy_dev()", because pci_destroy_dev() will now return immediately if it has already been executed for the given device. Note, however, that the invocation of msi_remove_pci_irq_vectors() removed by commit ef83b0781a73 from pci_free_resources() along with the other changes made by it is not added back because of subsequent code changes depending on that modification.

Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not supplied to the driver.

2014-01-31regulator: s2mps11: Fix NULL pointer of_node value when using platform dataKrzysztof Kozlowski
When platform_data is used for regulator (of_node of sec-core MFD device is NULL) the config.of_node for regulator is not initialized. This NULL value of config.of_node is later stored during regulator_register(). Thus any call by regulator consumers to of_get_regulator() will fail on of_parse_phandle() returning NULL. In this case (using platform_data and parent's driver of_node is NULL) set the config.of_node to reg_node from platform_data.

2014-01-31drivers: xen: deaggressive selfballoon driverBob Liu
Current xen-selfballoon driver is too aggressive which may cause OOM be triggered more often. Eg. this bug reported by James: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158 There are two mainly reasons: 1) The original goal_page didn't consider some pages used by kernel space, like slab pages and pages used by device drivers. 2) The balloon driver may not give back memory to guest OS fast enough when the workload suddenly aquries a lot of physical memory. In both cases, the guest OS will suffer from memory pressure and OOM may be triggered. The fix is make xen-selfballoon driver not that aggressive by adding extra 10% of total ram pages to goal_page. It's more valuable to keep the guest system reliable and response faster than balloon out these 10% pages to XEN.

2014-01-31xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mappingZoltan Kiss
The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Suggested-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2014-01-30zram: remove zram->lock in read path and change it with mutexMinchan Kim
Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and changes rw_semaphore with mutex. So, we could do old: read-read: OK read-write: NO write-write: NO Now: read-read: OK read-write: OK write-write: NO The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us. Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility. Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock) which is hurdle about zram scalability.

Sergey reported we don't need to handle pending free request every I/O so that this patch removes it in read path while we remain it in write path. Let's consider below example. Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :( That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before zram-write.

2014-01-30zram: promote zram from stagingMinchan Kim
Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice. The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and recently our production team released android smart phone with zram which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs. In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example, Lubuntu start to use it. The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could encounter OOM kill. :( Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap storage performance. Quote from Luigi on Google "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the available RAM. " and he announced. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on the internet start zram as /var/tmp. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

2014-01-30zsmalloc: move it under mmMinchan Kim
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory. Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom allocator. Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations. zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to achieve these design goals. zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or "size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory pressure. Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage. This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size, the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover space. This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being directly addressable by the user. The user is given an non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages. The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly [sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: borrow Seth's quote] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It is required to call put_device() if device_register() fails, so that we give up the last reference to the device. Calling put_device allows for mdiobus_release to be executed, kfreeing the bus.

Currently we kfree the container of the device which failed to register. This is wrong as the last reference is not given up with a put_device call. Also, now that we have put_device() callen, we no longer need the kfree as the new_ld->dev.release function will take care of kfreeing the associated memory.

2014-01-30can: add destructor for self generated skbsOliver Hartkopp
Self generated skbuffs in net/can/bcm.c are setting a skb->sk reference but no explicit destructor which is enforced since Linux 3.11 with commit 376c7311bdb6 (net: add a temporary sanity check in skb_orphan()). This patch adds some helper functions to make sure that a destructor is properly defined when a sock reference is assigned to a CAN related skb. To create an unshared skb owned by the original sock a common helper function has been introduced to replace open coded functions to create CAN echo skbs.
