The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses
to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the
file.
However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in
commit 54cb8821de07f2ffcd28c380ce9b93d5784b40d7 ("mm: merge populate and
nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with
gdb when trying to access the invalid page.
The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is
wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity
standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the
ptrace() hang in the process.
Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case
(quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had,
thanks Duane!").

This fixes a build problem with GPIOs on DaVinci. Since it inlines
operations for on-chip GPIOs, it needs some headers to support those
direct register accesses. Those headers won't be included on other
platforms, since they don't have that optimization.

The I-cache disable is an errata workaround, so the solution is to
disable FIQs across the section with the I-cache disabled.

CPU_HAS_SR_RB is selected by both CPU_SH3 and CPU_SH4, so having a
dependency and default y on those additionally doesn't make much sense.
The select also has to be special cased for CPUs that don't support
this.
This is also something that has been abused too much as a result
of being user-visible, hence the addition of the select in the first
place. So just kill the user-visibility entirely while we're at it.

This should fix the sysfs warnings that renaming network devices is
causing to show up with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
The code just shouldn't run if class devices are real directories, it's
an update for the symlink in the class directory. Nobody noticed that as
long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed
it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.

This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by
commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256
[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors
The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.
The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().
After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.
I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().
Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.
Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.
The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

When a network namespace reference is held by a network subsystem,
and when this reference is decremented in a rcu update callback, we
must ensure that there is no more outstanding rcu update before
trying to free the network namespace.
In the normal case, the rcu_barrier is called when the network namespace
is exiting in the cleanup_net function.
But when a network namespace creation fails, and the subsystems are
undone (like the cleanup), the rcu_barrier is missing.
This patch adds the missing rcu_barrier.

Point 1:
The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo.
This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the
destructor calls free_netdev.
Point 2:
In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code
is:
* alloc_netdev
* register_netdev
-> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error.
Point 3:
In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device
is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made.
If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the
registered state is done using unregister_netdevice.
Conclusion:
When a network device fails to register during initialization because
one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call
chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2.
The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer.
Proposed solution:
The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except*
the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered".
The following functions are changed in this way:
* register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails
* unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call
order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the
latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list
that should not break anything.

Commit commit 65b8291c4000e5f38fc94fb2ca0cb7e8683c8a1b ("dio: invalidate
clean pages before dio write") introduced a bug which stopped dio from
ever invalidating the page cache after writes. It still invalidated it
before writes so most users were fine.
Karl Schendel reported ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/481 ) hitting
this bug when he had a buffered reader immediately reading file data
after an O_DIRECT wirter had written the data. The kernel issued
read-ahead beyond the position of the reader which overlapped with the
O_DIRECT writer. The failure to invalidate after writes caused the
reader to see stale data from the read-ahead.
The following patch is originally from Karl. The following commentary
is his:
The below 3rd try takes on your suggestion of just invalidating
no matter what the retval from the direct_IO call. I ran it
thru the test-case several times and it has worked every time.
The post-invalidate is probably still too early for async-directio,
but I don't have a testcase for that; just sync. And, this
won't be any worse in the async case.
I added a test to the aio-dio-regress repository which mimics Karl's IO
pattern. It verifed the bad behaviour and that the patch fixed it. I
agree with Karl, this still doesn't help the case where a buffered
reader follows an AIO O_DIRECT writer. That will require a bit more
work.
This gives up on the idea of returning EIO to indicate to userspace that
stale data remains if the invalidation failed.
