Paul Bolle 238f5908bd md: remove CONFIG_MULTICORE_RAID456 entirely
Once instance of this Kconfig macro remained after commit
51acbcec6c ("md: remove
CONFIG_MULTICORE_RAID456"). Remove that one too. And, while we're at it,
also remove it from the defconfig files that carry it.

NeilBrown f8dfcffd04 md/raid5: ensure sync and DISCARD don't happen at the same time.
A number of problems can occur due to races between
resync/recovery and discard.

- if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is
  happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event
  before all of the individual discard requests have completed
  (so some devices are still locked, but not all).
  Since commit ca64cae960
     md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished.
  this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device,
  so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other
  devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared.
  This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up.

- If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward
  time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks
  in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is
  one).

So:
 - keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have
   completed their discard request
 - make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at
   the same time.
   This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is
   happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a
   discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up
   the discard at the appropriate time.

Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for
any -stable kernel since 3.7.

Jonathan Brassow 90584fc93d MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects
MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects

Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging
MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs.  This
patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure
it is about to operate on something valid.  This patch also checks for
'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'.
Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in
'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation.

Jonathan Brassow e3620a3ad5 MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available
MD RAID5:  Fix kernel oops when RAID4/5/6 is used via device-mapper

Commit a9add5d (v3.8-rc1) added blktrace calls to the RAID4/5/6 driver.
However, when device-mapper is used to create RAID4/5/6 arrays, the
mddev->gendisk and mddev->queue fields are not setup.  Therefore, calling
things like trace_block_bio_remap will cause a kernel oops.  This patch
conditionalizes those calls on whether the proper fields exist to make
the calls.  (Device-mapper will call trace_block_bio_remap on its own.)

This patch is suitable for the 3.8.y stable kernel.

NeilBrown ce7d363aaf md/raid5: schedule_construction should abort if nothing to do.
Since commit 1ed850f356
    md/raid5: make sure to_read and to_write never go negative.

It has been possible for handle_stripe_dirtying to be called
when there isn't actually any work to do.
It then calls schedule_reconstruction() which will set R5_LOCKED
on the parity block(s) even when nothing else is happening.
This then causes problems in do_release_stripe().

So add checks to schedule_reconstruction() so that if it doesn't
find anything to do, it just aborts.

This bug was introduced in v3.7, so the patch is suitable
for -stable kernels since then.

NeilBrown f3378b4870 md: expedite metadata update when switching read-auto -> active
If something has failed while the array was read-auto,
then when we switch to 'active' we need to update the metadata.
This will happen anyway but it is good to expedite it, and
also to ensure any failed device has been released by the
underlying device before we try to action the ioctl which
caused us to switch to 'active' mode.

NeilBrown ee0b024403 md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock with freeze_array()
When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains
all pending requests by calling freeze_array().
This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep,
but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather
than in the per-array request queue.

When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process
plug to the per-array request queue (from which
flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up
freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so
it will block forever.

So add the requires wake_up() calls.

This bug was introduced by commit
   f54a9d0e59
for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present
since linux-3.6.  As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is
suitable for -stable.

NeilBrown 58ebb34c49 md: raid0: fix error return from create_stripe_zones.
Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to
raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*.

The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would
result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a
crash.

So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from
create_stripe_zones.

This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable
for any kernel since then.

NeilBrown a646853991 md: fix two bugs when attempting to resize RAID0 array.
You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:

 disable setting of the available size on each device for
 RAID0 and Linear devices.  This must not change as doing so
 can change the effective layout of data.

 Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
 but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes.  As the device sizes
 cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
 safe.

Without this change:
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
  then read to the end of the array

can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.

These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time.  So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.

Jonathan Brassow fe5d2f4a15 DM RAID: Add support for MD's RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithms
DM RAID:  Add support for MD's RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithms

Until now, dm-raid.c only supported the "near" algorthm of MD's RAID10
implementation.  This patch adds support for the "far" and "offset"
algorithms, but only with the improved redundancy that is brought with
the introduction of the 'use_far_sets' bit, which shifts copied stripes
according to smaller sets vs the entire array.  That is, the 17th bit
of the 'layout' variable that defines the RAID10 implementation will
always be set.   (More information on how the 'layout' variable selects
the RAID10 algorithm can be found in the opening comments of
drivers/md/raid10.c.)

Jonathan Brassow 9a3152ab02 MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2)
MD RAID10:  Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2)

This patch addresses raid arrays that have a number of devices that cannot
be evenly divided by 'far_copies'.  (E.g. 5 devices, far_copies = 2)  This
case must be handled differently because it causes that last set to be of
a different size than the rest of the sets.  We must compute a new modulo
for this last set so that copied chunks are properly wrapped around.

Example use_far_sets=1, far_copies=2, near_copies=1, devices=5:
                "far" algorithm
        dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5
	==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	[ A   B ] [ C    D   E ]
        [ G   H ] [ I    J   K ]
                    ...
        [ B   A ] [ E    C   D ] --> nominal set of 2 and last set of 3
        [ H   G ] [ K    I   J ]     []'s show far/offset sets

Jonathan Brassow 475901aff1 MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 1)
The MD RAID10 'far' and 'offset' algorithms make copies of entire stripe
widths - copying them to a different location on the same devices after
shifting the stripe.  An example layout of each follows below:

	        "far" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	            ...
	 F    A    B    C    D    E  --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1
	 L    G    H    I    J    K
	            ...

		"offset" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 F    A    B    C    D    E  --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	 L    G    H    I    J    K
	            ...

Redundancy for these algorithms is gained by shifting the copied stripes
one device to the right.  This patch proposes that array be divided into
sets of adjacent devices and when the stripe copies are shifted, they wrap
on set boundaries rather than the array size boundary.  That is, for the
purposes of shifting, the copies are confined to their sets within the
array.  The sets are 'near_copies * far_copies' in size.

The above "far" algorithm example would change to:
	        "far" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	            ...
	 B    A    D    C    F    E  --> Copy of stripe0, shifted 1, 2-dev sets
	 H    G    J    I    L    K      Dev sets are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
	            ...

This has the affect of improving the redundancy of the array.  We can
always sustain at least one failure, but sometimes more than one can
be handled.  In the first examples, the pairs of devices that CANNOT fail
together are:
	(1,2) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5) (5,6) (1, 6) [40% of possible pairs]
In the example where the copies are confined to sets, the pairs of
devices that cannot fail together are:
	(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)                    [20% of possible pairs]

We cannot simply replace the old algorithms, so the 17th bit of the 'layout'
variable is used to indicate whether we use the old or new method of computing
the shift.  (This is similar to the way the 16th bit indicates whether the
"far" algorithm or the "offset" algorithm is being used.)

This patch only handles the cases where the number of total raid disks is
a multiple of 'far_copies'.  A follow-on patch addresses the condition where
this is not true.

Sebastian Riemer bbfa57c0f2 md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array
If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.

By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.

This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

Linus Torvalds 7c45512df9 mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocation
Commit c060f943d0 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.

This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.

In the meantime, commit c060f943d0 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

Tomi Valkeinen 91e83ffd6d omapdrm: fix the dependency to omapdss
omapdrm uses "select" in Kconfig to enable omapdss. This doesn't work
correctly, as "select" forces omapdss to be enabled in the config even
if it normally could not be enabled because of missing Kconfig
dependencies.

This causes a build break on ARM, when using allyesconfig:

drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c: In function 'dss_calc_clock_div':
drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss.c:572:20: error: 'CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_MIN_FCK_PER_PCK' undeclared (first use in this function)

Satoru Takeuchi 1de63d60cd efi: Clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES rather than EFI_BOOT by "noefi" boot parameter
There was a serious problem in samsung-laptop that its platform driver is
designed to run under BIOS and running under EFI can cause the machine to
become bricked or can cause Machine Check Exceptions.

    Discussion about this problem:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

    The patches to fix this problem:
    efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
    83e6818974

    samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware
    e0094244e4

Unfortunately this problem comes back again if users specify "noefi" option.
This parameter clears EFI_BOOT and that driver continues to run even if running
under EFI. Refer to the document, this parameter should clear
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES instead.

Petr says: "
 I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
 mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
 xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
 entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "

Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:

"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.

Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the
SetPageReferenced() bits.

On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.

In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
file adjustments were necessary.  Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

Rafael J. Wysocki 249bfb83cf PCI/PM: Clean up PME state when removing a device
Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
the driver explicitly disables wakeup.  Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug.  A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.

This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list.  This is safe even if the device never
had PME# enabled.

This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter
on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.

Daniel Borkmann e9c0dfbaa2 net: sctp: sctp_v6_get_dst: fix boolean test in dst cache
We walk through the bind address list and try to get the best source
address for a given destination. However, currently, we take the
'continue' path of the loop when an entry is invalid (!laddr->valid)
*and* the entry state does not equal SCTP_ADDR_SRC (laddr->state !=
SCTP_ADDR_SRC).

Thus, still, invalid entries with SCTP_ADDR_SRC might not 'continue'
as well as valid entries with SCTP_ADDR_{NEW, SRC, DEL}, with a possible
false baddr and matchlen as a result, causing in worst case dst route
to be false or possibly NULL.

This test should actually be a '||' instead of '&&'. But lets fix it
and make this a bit easier to read by having the condition the same way
as similarly done in sctp_v4_get_dst.

An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate.
This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node
of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible
will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address.

Huang, Xiong ac574804d4 atl1c: add error checking for pci_map_single functions
it is reported that code hit DMA-API errors on 3.8-rc6+,
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908436, and
     https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908550)

Mel Gorman 0ee364eb31 x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address
A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads
/proc/kcore:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000
 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110
 [...]

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370
  [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0
  [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130
  [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0
  [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.

The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD.  If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.

This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.

Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.
