This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which defaults disabled. This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about. This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1). The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature is enabled.

Add rcu_read_lock_sched() and rcu_read_unlock_sched() to rcupdate.h to match the recently added write-side call_rcu_sched() and rcu_barrier_sched(). They also match the no-so-recently-added synchronize_sched(). It will help following matching use of the update/read lock primitives. Those new read lock will replace preempt_disable()/enable() used in pair with RCU-classic synchronization.

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling, so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g. KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as needed.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'), because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent or other function. And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down, rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is still hashed at all. And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible on some lists - and to d_compare. If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details, just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only call d_compare on dentries that are still active. The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)' to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer, and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something like BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0 IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50 and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and ppc64 (Hugh Dickins).

Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface. Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers. The device tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since 2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem. Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270 driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

In the load_cmd() there is a compound loop where the first 4 sg's are set then the rest are set into a memory structure in group of 7 sg's. Well the second 7-group and on is a bug because sg pointer does not advance. This is a fall out from Jens's patch."

Commit 2fd673ec which tried to remove hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops. This patch reinstates nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors inherit from. nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL. While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are necessary. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

The current sg list traversal logic for the continuation entries doesn't advance the list pointer once all seven slots are used, so the next continuation entry (if there is one) wrongly begins again at the start of the sg list.
