In kernel ABI version 7.16 and later FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY reply from a
unrestricted IOCTL request shall return with an array of 'struct
fuse_ioctl_iovec' instead of 'struct iovec'. This fixes the ABI
ambiguity of 32bit vs. 64bit.Reported-by: "ccmail111"

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can take up to 30 minutes to process
FORGET requests when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.To solve this, create a BATCH_FORGET request that allows up to about
8000 FORGET requests to be sent in a single message.This request is only sent if userspace supports interface version 7.16
or later, otherwise fall back to sending individual FORGET messages.Reported-by: Terje Malmedal

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can go unresponsive for up to 30
minutes when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.The reason is that FORGET messages, sent when the inode is evicted,
are queued up together with regular filesystem requests, and while the
huge queue of FORGET messages are processed no other filesystem
operation can proceed.Since a full fuse request structure is allocated for each inode, these
take up quite a bit of memory as well.To solve these issues, create a slim 'fuse_forget_link' structure
containing just the minimum of information required to send the FORGET
request and chain these on a separate queue.When userspace is asking for a request make sure that FORGET and
non-FORGET requests are selected fairly: for each 8 non-FORGET allow
16 FORGET requests. This will make sure FORGETs do not pile up, yet
other requests are also allowed to proceed while the queued FORGETs
are processed.Reported-by: Terje Malmedal

Verify that the total length of the iovec returned in FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY
doesn't overflow iov_length().Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

CC: [2.6.31+] -
If a 32bit CUSE server is run on 64bit this results in EIO being
returned to the caller.The reason is that FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY reply was defined to use 'struct
iovec', which is different on 32bit and 64bit archs.Work around this by looking at the size of the reply to determine
which struct was used. This is only needed if CONFIG_COMPAT is
defined.A more permanent fix for the interface will be to use the same struct
on both 32bit and 64bit.Reported-by: "ccmail111"

This reverts commit e0fdace10e75dac67d906213b780ff1b1a4cc360.
On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk
make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit
and on list.The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always
keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS
to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes
problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console
switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want
if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat
2 days prior).Cc: David S Miller

OMAP: UART: don't resume UARTs that are not enabled. -
Some Lenovos have TPMs that require a quirk to function correctly. This can
be autodetected by checking whether the device has a _HID of INTC0102. This
is an invalid PNPid, and as such is discarded by the pnp layer - however
it's still present in the ACPI code, so we can pull it out that way. This
means that the quirk won't be automatically applied on non-ACPI systems,
but without ACPI we don't have any way to identify the chip anyway so I
don't think that's a great concern.Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

GFS2: Userland expects quota limit/warn/usage in 512b blocks -
Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an
exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others.lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8
This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.
Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.Reported-by: Марк Коренберг

In commit 58933c64(ucc_geth: Fix the wrong the Rx/Tx FIFO size),
the UCC_GETH_UTFTT_INIT is set to 512 based on the recommendation
of the QE Reference Manual. But that will sometimes cause tx halt
while working in half duplex mode.According to errata draft QE_GENERAL-A003(High Tx Virtual FIFO
threshold size can cause UCC to halt), setting UTFTT less than
[(UTFS x (M - 8)/M) - 128] will prevent this from happening
(M is the minimum buffer size).The patch changes UTFTT back to 256.

inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash
using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind
hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical.
__inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo->bsockets and tb->num_owners, whereas
___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these
going to -ve values.This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(),
which does the right thing.'bsockets' and 'num_owners' were introduced by commit a9d8f9110d7e953c

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.
The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.Cc: Jens Axboe

.. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since
that's what all users want anyway.The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users. The old
'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so
before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.Cc: Jens Axboe

tcp_win_from_space() does the following:
if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale > (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
else
return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);"space" is int.
As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().
Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].
