      CacheFiles: Fix occasional EIO on call to vfs_unlink() · c61ea31d
      David Howells authored 
      Fix an occasional EIO returned by a call to vfs_unlink():

	[ 4868.465413] CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	[ 4868.465444] FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
	[ 4947.320011] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 unregistering
	[ 4947.320041] FS-Cache: Withdrawing cache "mycache"
	[ 5127.348683] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles)
	[ 5127.348716] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered
	[ 7076.871081] CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	[ 7076.871130] FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
	[ 7116.780891] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 unregistering
	[ 7116.780937] FS-Cache: Withdrawing cache "mycache"
	[ 7296.813394] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles)
	[ 7296.813432] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered

What happens is this:

 (1) A cached NFS file is seen to have become out of date, so NFS retires the
     object and immediately acquires a new object with the same key.

 (2) Retirement of the old object is done asynchronously - so the lookup/create
     to generate the new object may be done first.

     This can be a problem as the old object and the new object must exist at
     the same point in the backing filesystem (i.e. they must have the same
     pathname).

 (3) The lookup for the new object sees that a backing file already exists,
     checks to see whether it is valid and sees that it isn't.  It then deletes
     that file and creates a new one on disk.

 (4) The retirement phase for the old file is then performed.  It tries to
     delete the dentry it has, but ext4_unlink() returns -EIO because the inode
     attached to that dentry no longer matches the inode number associated with
     the filename in the parent directory.

The trace below shows this quite well.

	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_relinquish_cookie(ffff88002d12fb58{NFS.fh,ffff88002ce62100},1)
	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_acquire_cookie({NFS.server},{NFS.fh},ffff88002ce62100)

NFS has retired the old cookie and asked for a new one.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_ACTIVE,24})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DYING]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_INIT,0})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_LOOKING_UP]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_DYING,24})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_RECYCLING]

The old object (OBJ52) is going through the terminal states to get rid of it,
whilst the new object - (OBJ53) - is coming into being.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_LOOKING_UP,0})
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_walk_to_object({ffff88003029d8b8},OBJ53,@68,)
	[kslowd] lookup '@68'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002ce41bd0 positive
	[kslowd] advance
	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff8800369faac8 positive

The new object has looked up the subdir in which the file would be in (getting
dentry ffff88002ce41bd0) and then looked up the file itself (getting dentry
ffff8800369faac8).

	[kslowd] validate 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
	[kslowd] unlink stale object
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = 0

It then checks the file's xattrs to see if it's valid.  NFS says that the
auxiliary data indicate the file is out of date (obvious to us - that's why NFS
ditched the old version and got a new one).  CacheFiles then deletes the old
file (dentry ffff8800369faac8).

	[kslowd] redo lookup
	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002cd94288 negative
	[kslowd] create -> ffff88002cd94288{ffff88002cdaf238{ino=148247}}

CacheFiles then redoes the lookup and gets a negative result in a new dentry
(ffff88002cd94288) which it then creates a file for.

	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_mark_object_active(,OBJ53)
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_mark_object_active() = 0
	[kslowd] === OBTAINED_OBJECT ===
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_walk_to_object() = 0 [148247]
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_AVAILABLE]

The new object is then marked active and the state machine moves to the
available state - at which point NFS can start filling the object.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_RECYCLING,20})
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_release_object()
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_drop_object({OBJ52,2})
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_delete_object(,OBJ52{ffff8800369faac8})

The old object, meanwhile, goes on with being retired.  If allocation occurs
first, cachefiles_delete_object() has to wait for dir->d_inode->i_mutex to
become available before it can continue.

	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
	[kslowd] unlink stale object
	EXT4-fs warning (device sda6): ext4_unlink: Inode number mismatch in unlink (148247!=148193)
	CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error

CacheFiles then tries to delete the file for the old object, but the dentry it
has (ffff8800369faac8) no longer points to a valid inode for that directory
entry, and so ext4_unlink() returns -EIO when de->inode does not match i_ino.

	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = -5
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_delete_object() = -5
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DEAD]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_AVAILABLE,0})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_ACTIVE]

(Note that the above trace includes extra information beyond that produced by
the upstream code).

The fix is to note when an object that is being retired has had its object
deleted preemptively by a replacement object that is being created, and to
skip the second removal attempt in such a case.

They don't hurt functionality, but they are ugly, so let's get

      hwmon: (applesmc) Correct sysfs fan error handling · 0559a538
      Henrik Rydberg authored 
      The current code will not remove the sysfs files for fan numbers three
and up. Also, upon exit, fans one and two are removed regardless of
their existence.  This patch cleans up the sysfs error handling for
the fans.

      kprobes/x86: Fix removed int3 checking order · 829e9245
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Fix kprobe/x86 to check removed int3 when failing to get kprobe
from hlist. Since we have a time window between checking int3
exists on probed address and getting kprobe on that address,
we can have following scenario:

 -------
 CPU1                     CPU2
 hit int3
 check int3 exists
                          remove int3
                          remove kprobe from hlist
 get kprobe from hlist
 no kprobe->OOPS!
 -------

This patch moves int3 checking if there is no kprobe on that
address for fixing this problem as follows:

 ------
 CPU1                     CPU2
 hit int3
                          remove int3
                          remove kprobe from hlist
 get kprobe from hlist
 no kprobe->check int3 exists
          ->rollback&retry
 ------

      perf: Fix static strings treated like dynamic ones · de068ec0
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The raw_field_ptr() helper, used to retrieve the address of a field
inside a trace event, treats every strings as if they were dynamic
ie: having a secondary level of indirection to retrieve their
contents.

FIELD_IS_STRING doesn't mean FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC, we only need to
compute the secondary dereference for the latter case.

This fixes perf sched segfaults, bad cmdline report and may be
some other bugs.

* Use the right command dword for second packet offset in
  RADEON_CNTL_PAINT/BITBLT_MULTI.
* Don't leak memory if drm_buffer_copy_from_user() fails.
* Don't call drm_buffer_unprocessed() unless drm_buffer_alloc() and
  drm_buffer_copy_from_user() have been called successfully first.
