megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the
hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and
schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of
delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others.
With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer
before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to
hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code. Change megaraid code to use
delayed work.

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.
Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.
Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

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.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.
Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.
This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

Commit ef6c5be658 ("fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears
like memory leak)") fixes a NR_FREE_PAGE accounting leak but missed the
return value which was also missed by this reviewer until today.
That return value is used by compaction when adding pages to a list of
isolated free pages and without this follow-up fix, there is a risk of
free list corruption.

Samsung fixes for v3.7
* 'v3.7-samsung-fixes-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung:
ARM: S3C24XX: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference error
This would have been ok to delay to 3.8 according to Kukjin, but since
it's an obvious bug fix and a potential NULL pointer dereference, it
seem appropriate for a late 3.7 submission.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"Some more fixes trickled in over the past few days:
1) PIM device names can overflow the IFNAMSIZ buffer unless we
properly limit the allowed indexes, fix from Eric Dumazet.
2) Under heavy load we can OOPS in icmp reply processing due to an
unchecked inet_putpeer() call. Fix from Neal Cardwell.
3) SCTP round trip calculations need to use 64-bit math to avoid
overflows, fix from Schoch Christian.
4) Fix a memory leak and an error return flub in SCTP and IRDA
triggerable by userspace. Fix from Tommi Rantala and found by the
syscall fuzzer (trinity).
5) MLX4 driver gives bogus size to memcpy() call, fix from Amir
Vadai.
6) Fix length calculation in VHOST descriptor translation, from
Michael S Tsirkin.
7) Ambassador ATM driver loops forever while loading firmware, fix
from Dan Carpenter.
8) Over MTU packets in openvswitch warn about wrong device, fix from
Jesse Gross.
9) Netfilter IPSET's netlink code can overrun a string buffer because
it's not properly limited to IFNAMSIZ. Fix from Florian Westphal.
10) PCAN USB driver sets wrong timestamp in SKB, from Oliver Hartkopp.
11) Make sure the RX ifindex always has a valid value in the CAN BCM
driver, even if we haven't received a frame yet. Fix also from
Oliver Hartkopp."

The Huawei E173 is a QMI/wwan device which normally appear
as 12d1:1436 in Linux. The descriptors displayed in that
mode will be picked up by cdc_ether. But the modem has
another mode with a different device ID and a slightly
different set of descriptors. This is the mode used by
Windows like this:

The calculation of RTTVAR involves the subtraction of two unsigned
numbers which
may causes rollover and results in very high values of RTTVAR when RTT > SRTT.
With this patch it is possible to set RTOmin = 1 to get the minimum of RTO at
4 times the clock granularity.

Consider the following program, that sets the second argument to the
sendto() syscall incorrectly:
#include <string.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd;
struct sockaddr_in sa;
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
if (fd < 0)
return 1;
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
sa.sin_port = htons(11111);
sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));
return 0;
}
We get -ENOMEM:
$ strace -e sendto ./demo
sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
Propagate the error code from sctp_user_addto_chunk(), so that we will
tell user space what actually went wrong:
$ strace -e sendto ./demo
sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

Trinity (the syscall fuzzer) discovered a memory leak in SCTP,
reproducible e.g. with the sendto() syscall by passing invalid
user space pointer in the second argument:
#include <string.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd;
struct sockaddr_in sa;
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
if (fd < 0)
return 1;
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
sa.sin_port = htons(11111);
sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));
return 0;
}
As far as I can tell, the leak has been around since ~2003.

The SP804 driver statically initialises the cpumask of the clock event
device to be cpu_all_mask, which is derived from the compile-time
constant NR_CPUS. This breaks SMP_ON_UP systems where the interrupt
controller handling the sp804 doesn't have the irq_set_affinity callback
on the irq_chip, because the common timer code fails to identify the
device as cpu-local and ends up treating it as a broadcast device
instead.
This patch fixes the problem by using cpu_possible_mask at runtime,
which will correctly represent the possible CPUs when SMP_ON_UP is being
used.
