"The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be

We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new
drm prime infrastructure. We isolated the cause to code in
__sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags.There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption
about the allocation coming from a memory pool. This was likely true
when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new

about and one of the spinlocks locks up we will print the name of the

When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like
this:[23153.208033] .base: pK-error
with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works:
[23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540
The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where
the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the
CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply
when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though.Reported-by: Stevie Trujillo

This patch adds a new constructor for an sg table. The table is constructed
from an array of struct pages. All contiguous chunks of the pages are merged
into a single sg nodes. A user may provide an offset and a size of a buffer if
the buffer is not page-aligned.The function is dedicated for DMABUF exporters which often perform conversion
from an page array to a scatterlist. Moreover the scatterlist should be
squashed in order to save memory and to speed-up the process of DMA mapping
using dma_map_sg.The code is based on the patch 'v4l: vb2-dma-contig: add support for
scatterlist in userptr mode' and hints from Laurent Pinchart.Signed-off-by: Tomasz Stanislawski

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:
1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.
4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.From Eric Dumazet.
11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
from Alexander Duyck.12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
Eric Dumazet.13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a
tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric
Dumazet.15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

"Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are:1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for
kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the
default for some distros. This is a first step, as it does not
help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case
is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline).This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(),
placed here due to conflicts. Posted to LKML at:https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/22/381
Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as
they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes,
these are the ones intended to get rid of RCU's latency spikes for
systems that actually have 4096 CPUs).2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture fixes, the latter category

would walk off in the wrong direction and into the weeds.Found on IA64 because of a compilation failure with recursive dependencies
on IA64_TASKSIZE and IA64_THREAD_INFO_SIZE.Fixing the code is possible, but should be combined with other
infrastructure additions to set up the "canary" at the end of the stack.Reported-by: Fengguang Wu (failed allmodconfig build)

Pull IOMMU fixes from Joerg Roedel:
"The patches fix several issues in the AMD IOMMU driver, the NVidia
SMMU driver, and the DMA debug code.The most important fix for the AMD IOMMU solves a problem with SR-IOV
devices where virtual functions did not work with IOMMU enabled. The
NVidia SMMU patch fixes a possible sleep while spin-lock situation
(queued the small fix for v3.5, a better but more intrusive fix is
coming for v3.6). The DMA debug patches fix a possible data
corruption issue due to bool vs u32 usage."* tag 'iommu-fixes-v3.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu:
iommu/amd: fix type bug in flush code
dma-debug: debugfs_create_bool() takes a u32 pointer
iommu/tegra: smmu: Fix unsleepable memory allocation
iommu/amd: Initialize dma_ops for hotplug and sriov devices
iommu/amd: Fix missing iommu_shutdown initialization in passthrough mode

Although the C language allows you to break strings across lines, doing
this makes it hard for people to find the Linux kernel code corresponding
to a given console message. This commit therefore fixes broken strings
throughout RCU's source code.Suggested-by: Josh Triplett

Even though it has "bool" in the name, you have pass a u32 pointer to
debugfs_create_bool(). Otherwise you get memory corruption in
write_file_bool(). Fortunately in this case the corruption happens in
an alignment hole between variables so it doesn't cause any problems.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

This patch adds the following structure:
struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
unsigned int groups;
void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
struct mutex *cb_mutex;
};That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

When percpu counter function in fprop_new_period() is interrupted by an
interrupt while holding counter lock, it can cause deadlock when the
interrupt wants to take the lock as well. Fix the problem by disabling
interrupts when calling percpu counter functions.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Implement code computing proportions of events of different type (like code in
lib/proportions.c) but allowing periods to have different lengths. This allows
us to have aging periods of fixed wallclock time which gives better proportion
estimates given the hugely varying throughput of different devices - previous
measuring of aging period by number of events has the problem that a reasonable
period length for a system with low-end USB stick is not a reasonable period
length for a system with high-end storage array resulting either in too slow
proportion updates or too fluctuating proportion updates.Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra
