Fix a variety of issues with sysfs_topology_read_file:
* The return value of sysfs_topology_read_file function was not properly
being checked for failure.
* The function was reading int valued sysfs variables and then returning
their value. So, even if a function was trying to check the return value
of this function, a caller would not be able to tell an failure code apart
from reading a negative value. This also conflicted with the comment on the
function which said that a return value of 0 indicated success.
* The function was parsing int valued sysfs values with strtoul instead of
strtol.
* The function was non-static even though it was only used in the
file it was declared in.

Commit eddb079deb4 created a regression in the writepages codepath.
Previously, whenever it needed to check the size of the file, it did so
by consulting the inode->i_size field directly. With that patch, the
i_size was fetched once on entry into the writepages code and that value
was used henceforth.
If the file is changing size though (for instance, if someone is writing
to it or has truncated it), then that value is likely to be wrong. This
can lead to data corruption. Pages past the EOF at the time that the
writepages call was issued may be silently dropped and ignored because
cifs_writepages wrongly assumes that the file must have been truncated
in the interim.
Fix cifs_writepages to properly fetch the size from the inode->i_size
field instead to properly account for this possibility.

On some platforms, _TMP and _CRT/_HOT/_PSV/_ACx have dependency.
And there is no way for OS to detect this dependency.
commit 9bcb8118965ab4631a65ee0726e6518f75cda6c5 shows us a problem
that _TMP must be evaluate after _CRT/_HOT/_PSV/_ACx, or else
firmware will shutdown the system.
But the machine in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43284
shows us that _PSV would return valid value only if _TMP has been
evaluated once.
With this patch, all of the control methods will be evaluated once,
in the _CRT/_HOT/_PSV/_CRT/_TMP order, before they are actually used.

There appear to have been some 486 clones, including the "enhanced"
version of Am486, which have CPUID but not CR4. These 486 clones had
only the FPU flag, if any, unlike the Intel 486s with CPUID, which
also had VME and therefore needed CR4.
Therefore, look at the basic CPUID flags and require at least one bit
other than bit 0 before we modify CR4.
Thanks to Christian Ludloff of sandpile.org for confirming this as a
problem.

Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.
If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.
This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

Fix cpufreq_gov_ondemand to skip CPU where another governor is used.
The bug present itself as NULL pointer access on the mutex_lock() call,
an can be reproduced on an SMP machine by setting the default governor
to anything other than ondemand, setting a single CPU's governor to
ondemand, then changing the sample rate by writing on:

Drivers usually expect that the devices they are supposed to handle
will be operational when their .probe() routines are called, but that
need not be the case on some ACPI-based systems with ACPI-based
device enumeration where the BIOSes don't put devices into D0 by
default. To work around this problem it is sufficient to change
bus type .probe() routines to ensure that devices will be powered
on before the drivers' .probe() routines run (and their .remove()
and .shutdown() routines accordingly).
Modify platform_drv_probe() to run acpi_dev_pm_attach() for devices
whose ACPI handles are present, so that ACPI power management is used
to change their power states. Analogously, modify
platform_drv_remove() and platform_drv_shutdown() to call
acpi_dev_pm_detach() for those devices, so that they are not subject
to ACPI PM any more.

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test
exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the
lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash.
While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with
a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a
futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and
futex_requeue() do not perform the same test.
Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and
q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.
This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an
x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d22f0 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.
If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000
Call Trace:
preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60
_raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60
put_super+0x31/0x40
drop_super+0x22/0x30
prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
shrink_slab+0xba/0x510
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

Strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installation so
that any userspace dependencies aren't affected. glibc, for example,
checks for linux/types.h, linux/kernel.h, linux/compiler.h and
linux/list.h by their guards - though the last two aren't actually
exported.

If the raid1 or raid10 unplug function gets called
from a make_request function (which is very possible) when
there are bios on the current->bio_list list, then it will not
be able to successfully call bitmap_unplug() and it could
need to submit more bios and wait for them to complete.
But they won't complete while current->bio_list is non-empty.
So detect that case and handle the unplugging off to another thread
just like we already do when called from within the scheduler.
RAID1 version of bug was introduced in 3.6, so that part of fix is
suitable for 3.6.y. RAID10 part won't apply.

syscore_shutdown uses initcall_debug to control the debug info output.
It’s a good programming. But device_shutdown doesn’t. The patch changes
device_shutdown to follow the style.
