480eccf9ae Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map().  Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.

Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.

Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy.  However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.

This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy.  Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup.  A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy.  We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.

Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy.  In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage().  The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

28f300d236 Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e.  MUCH later.

On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.

Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting.  The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.

For example simple program

   #include <sched.h>

   char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];

   int f(void *foo)
   {
   	return 0;
   }

   int main(void)
   {
   	clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
   	return 0;
   }

run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.

This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

Recent changes to the timekeeping code broke support for the PowerPC 601

d9cc20484e [NET] skbuff: Add skb_cow_head
This patch adds an optimised version of skb_cow that avoids the copy if
the header can be modified even if the rest of the payload is cloned.

This can be used in encapsulating paths where we only need to modify the
header.  As it is, this can be used in PPPOE and bridging.

559cf710b0 [SCTP]: Convert bind_addr_list locking to RCU
Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of
the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to
change all handling of these entries to RCU.  This includes the
sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses.

This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that
looks like an overkill.  There are only 2 writers to the list:
bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks.
These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will
not step on each other.  These are also relatively rare, so we
should be good with RCU.

The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU.

301feb6524 [SPARC64]: Fix lockdep, particularly on SMP.
As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table()
in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock
which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't
valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct.

Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register
because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from
prom_set_trap_table().  Kernel TLB misses only work after that
call.

So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of
going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock
altogether.

These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully.

Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}()
library functions, they can be deleted.

b0052fcaef Define termios_1 functions for powerpc, s390, avr32 and frv
Commit f629307c85 introduced uses of
kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1
on all architectures.  However, powerpc, s390, avr32 and frv don't
currently define those functions since their termios struct didn't
need to be changed when the arbitrary baud rate stuff was added, and
thus the kernel won't currently build on those architectures.

This adds definitions of kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and
user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1 to include/asm-generic/termios.h
which are identical to kernel_termios_to_user_termios and
user_termios_to_kernel_termios respectively.  The definitions are the
same because the "old" termios and "new" termios are in fact the same
on these architectures (which are the same ones that use
asm-generic/termios.h).

dd23aae4f5 Fix select on /proc files without ->poll
Taneli Vähäkangas <vahakang@cs.helsinki.fi> reported that commit
786d7e1612 aka "Fix rmmod/read/write races
in /proc entries" broke SBCL + SLIME combo.

The old code in do_select() used DEFAULT_POLLMASK, if couldn't find
->poll handler.  The new code makes ->poll always there and returns 0 by
default, which is not correct.  Return DEFAULT_POLLMASK instead.

Steps to reproduce:

	install emacs, SBCL, SLIME
	emacs
	M-x slime	in *inferior-lisp* buffer
	[watch it doing "Connecting to Swank on port X.."]

Please, apply before 2.6.23.

P.S.: why SBCL can't just read(2) /proc/cpuinfo is a mystery.

16fcec35e7 [NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilter
So I've had a deadlock reported to me.  I've found that the sequence of
events goes like this:

1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko

2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket,
increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count

3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module
in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine,
which calls nf_unregister_sockopt

4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the
calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the
socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel

4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls
ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load
ip_tables_nat.ko

5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and
blocks until modprobe exits.

6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of
ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one.

7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it
blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in
step 3)

Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've
developed a two part solution that corrects the problem

Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a
use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer
to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt
calls a modules set/get routine.  This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4
from happening.

Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking
remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity
request blocking operation.  So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you
can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since
root can do any old stupid thing it would like....  :)  ).

980abe215b UML: Fix ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS build botch
The earlier crash dump fix on x86_64 depended on patches in -mm which
are intended for post-2.6.23.  Without those, it broke the build when
it went into 2.6.23-rc5.

This changes the field references in ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS back to those
still used in mainline.

Following a strict interpretation the empty definition of irq_enable_hazard

may be compiled into a mtc0 c0_status; mfc0 c0_status sequence resulting

b7f90a406f [POWERPC] cell/PS3: Fix a bug that causes the PS3 to hang on the SPU Class 0 interrupt.
The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt
is edge-triggered.  The current spu interrupt handler assumes this
behavior and does not clear the interrupt status.

The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return
from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual
interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not
been cleared.  This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt
handler.

1b3b4a1a2d NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()
Ryusuke Konishi says:

The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        ...
        cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);  <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20

        if (PagePrivate(page))
                do_invalidatepage(page, 0);   ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
        ...
}

and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling 
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.

int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
        ...
        if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
                ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto out;
        }
        ...
}

Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------

Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.
