The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
...
set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
...
if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
execve("foo-bar-cmd");
}
....vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify
sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional
dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where
crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said
that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump.However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in
panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is
properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface
might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start
crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who
expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc
interface.This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in
line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler.And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is
no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just
crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating
objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless
readers.In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next
being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next
object in hash chain.)kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid
for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next.Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself.
As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to
memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference
on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet
