6af9a43d58 tty: fix tty_port_block_til_ready waiting
Since commit 3e3b5c0877 ("tty: use
prepare/finish_wait"), tty_port_block_til_ready() is using
prepare_to_wait()/finish_wait().  Those functions require that the
wait_queue_t be initialised with .func=autoremove_wake_function, via
DEFINE_WAIT().

But the conversion from DECLARE_WAITQUEUE() to DEFINE_WAIT() was not made,
so this code will oops in finish_wait().

e68888bcb6 reiserfs: minimal fix for ACL caching
reiserfs uses NULL as "unknown" and ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) as "no ACL";
several codepaths store the former instead of the latter.

All those codepaths go through iset_acl() and all cases when it's
called with NULL acl are for the second variety, so the minimal
fix is to teach iset_acl() to deal with that.

Proper fix is to switch to more usual conventions and avoid back
and forth between internally used ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) and NULL
expected by the rest of the kernel.

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation
effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls.
Also handles the compat_ioctl case.

There is no reason to for the split between __writeback_single_inode and
__sync_single_inode, the former just does a couple of checks before
tail-calling the latter.  So merge the two, and while we're at it split
out the I_SYNC waiting case for data integrity writers, as it's

c63e09eccc Make allocation of anon devices cheaper
Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that
for each n < start n is known to be busy.  Allocation can
skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns
n, we can set start to n + 1.  Freeing below start sets
start to what we'd just freed.

Of course, it still sucks if we do something like
	free 0
	allocate
	allocate
in a loop - still O(n^2) time.  However, on saner loads it
improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth
the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case
behaviour.

b6280b47a7 ipv4 routing: Ensure that route cache entries are usable and reclaimable with caching is off
When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route
cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once.  These
routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to
them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use.  To be
made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they
currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we
don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to.  To do this binding, we need to
follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls
arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table.
Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and
are reutrn success.  This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first.

Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to
the garbage collector when caching is off.  If caching is off, and we try to
hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero.  To avoid this,
this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash.
This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that
when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this
suggestion).

I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm
able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to
return false.

d55d87fdff net: Move rx skb_orphan call to where needed
In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be
able to receive packets with destructors set.  To be on the safe
side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since
some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets
destructors properly.

Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able
to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered.

So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan
call to where it's actually needed.  In particular, I've added it
to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor
call.

This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that
we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb
is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.

f007e99c8e Intel-IOMMU, intr-remap: source-id checking
To support domain-isolation usages, the platform hardware must be
capable of uniquely identifying the requestor (source-id) for each
interrupt message. Without source-id checking for interrupt remapping
, a rouge guest/VM with assigned devices can launch interrupt attacks
to bring down anothe guest/VM or the VMM itself.

This patch adds source-id checking for interrupt remapping, and then
really isolates interrupts for guests/VMs with assigned devices.

Because PCI subsystem is not initialized yet when set up IOAPIC
entries, use read_pci_config_byte to access PCI config space directly.

2c2e2c389d IOMMU Identity Mapping Support (drivers/pci/intel_iommu.c)
Identity mapping for IOMMU defines a single domain to 1:1 map all PCI
devices to all usable memory.

This reduces map/unmap overhead in DMA API's and improve IOMMU
performance. On 10Gb network cards, Netperf shows no performance
degradation compared to non-IOMMU performance.

This method may lose some of DMA remapping benefits like isolation.

The patch sets up identity mapping for all PCI devices to all usable
memory. In the DMA API, there is no overhead to maintain page tables,
invalidate iotlb, flush cache etc.

32 bit DMA devices don't use identity mapping domain, in order to access
memory beyond 4GiB.

When kernel option iommu=pt, pass through is first tried. If pass
through succeeds, IOMMU goes to pass through. If pass through is not
supported in hw or fail for whatever reason, IOMMU goes to identity
mapping.

364df0ebfb mm: fix handling of pagesets for downed cpus
After downing/upping a cpu, an attempt to set
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction results in an oops in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler().

If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to
the boot pageset.

Updates of the high water marks should not access pagesets of unpopulated
zones (those pointer go to the boot pagesets which would be no longer
functional if their size would be increased beyond zero).

01ff53f416 rmap: fixup page_referenced() for nommu systems
After the recent changes that went into mm/vmscan.c to overhaul stuff, we
ended up with these warnings on no-mmu systems:

  mm/vmscan.c: In function `shrink_page_list':
  mm/vmscan.c:580: warning: unused variable `vm_flags'
  mm/vmscan.c: In function `shrink_active_list':
  mm/vmscan.c:1294: warning: `vm_flags' may be used uninitialized in this function
  mm/vmscan.c:1242: note: `vm_flags' was declared here

This is because the no-mmu function defines page_referenced() to work on
the first argument only (the page).  It does not clear the vm_flags given
to it because for no-mmu systems, they never actually get utilized.  Since
that is no longer strictly true, we need to set vm_flags to 0 like
everyone else so gcc can do proper dead code elimination without annoying
us with unused warnings.

a5c9b696ec mm: pass mm to grab_swap_token
If a kthread happens to use get_user_pages() on an mm (as KSM does),
there's a chance that it will end up trying to read in a swap page, then
oops in grab_swap_token() because the kthread has no mm: GUP passes down
the right mm, so grab_swap_token() ought to be using it.

We have not identified a stronger case than KSM's daemon (not yet in
mainline), but the issue must have come up before, since RHEL has included
a fix for this for years (though a different fix, they just back out of
grab_swap_token if current->mm is unset: which is what we first proposed,
but using the right mm here seems more correct).
