ba3820ade3 drm/i915: Revive combination mode for backlight control
This reverts commit 951f3512db

    drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially

since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC
register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume.

In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original
issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for
computing the current backlight level.
Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).

d2224e7afb nfs: close NFSv4 COMMIT vs. CLOSE race
I've been adding in more artificial delays in the NFSv4 commit and close
codepaths to uncover races. The kernel I'm testing has the patch to
close the race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task that's in Trond's
cthon2011 branch. The reproducer I've been using does this in a loop:

	mkdir("DIR");
	fd = open("DIR/FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644);
	write(fd, "abcdefg", 7);
	close(fd);
	unlink("DIR/FILE");
	rmdir("DIR");

The above reproducer shouldn't result in any silly-renaming. However,
when I add a "msleep(100)" just after the nfs_commit_clear_lock call in
nfs_commit_release, I can almost always force one to occur. If I can
force it to occur with that, then it can happen without that delay
given the right timing.

nfs_commit_inode waits for the NFS_INO_COMMIT bit to clear when called
with FLUSH_SYNC set. nfs_commit_rpcsetup on the other hand does not wait
for the task to complete before putting its reference to it, so the last
reference get put in rpc_release task and gets queued to a workqueue.

In this situation, the last open context reference may be put by the
COMMIT release instead of the close() syscall. The close() syscall
returns too quickly and the unlink runs while the d_count is still
high since the COMMIT release hasn't put its dentry reference yet.

Fix this by having rpc_commit_rpcsetup wait for the RPC call to complete
before putting the task reference when FLUSH_SYNC is set. With this, the
last reference is put by the process that's initiating the FLUSH_SYNC
commit and the race is closed.

bf294b41ce SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.

For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.

This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.

In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.

Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

bf480d952b xen: events: separate MSI PIRQ allocation from PIRQ binding to IRQ
Split the binding aspect of xen_allocate_pirq_msi out into a new
xen_bind_pirq_to_irq function.

In xen_hvm_setup_msi_irq when allocating a pirq write the MSI message
to signal the PIRQ as soon as the pirq is obtained. There is no way to
free the pirq back so if the subsequent binding to an IRQ fails we
want to ensure that we will reuse the PIRQ next time rather than leak
it.

5cad61a6ba xen: events: assume PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq exists
The find_unbound_pirq is called only from xen_allocate_pirq_msi and
only if alloc_pirq is true. The only caller which does this is
xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs. The use of this function is gated, in
pci_xen_hvm_init, on XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs.

The PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq interfaces was added to the hypervisor in
22410:be96f6058c05 while XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs was added a couple of
minutes prior in 22409:6663214f06ac. Therefore we do not need to
concern ourselves with hypervisors which support XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs but
not PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq.

This eliminates the fallback path in find_unbound_pirq which walks to
pirq_to_irq array looking for a free pirq. Unlike the
PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq interface this fallback only looks up a free
pirq but does not reserve it. Removing this fallback will simplify
locking in the future.

d891eedbc3 fs/dcache: allow d_obtain_alias() to return unhashed dentries
Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:

	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
	...
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ rm /export/FOO
	(^C the tail -f)
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
	server$ df -i /export

the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:

	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
	  returns that instead.
	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
	- end of the compound: release the reference
	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.

Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.

Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.

Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault

This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a

Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.

With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().

The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().

This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,

7343ff31eb ipv6: Don't create clones of host routes.
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29252
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30462

In commit d80bc0fd26 ("ipv6: Always
clone offlink routes.") we forced the kernel to always clone offlink
routes.

The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a
prefixed route.

The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years,
but was always off due to a protecting CPP define.  So perhaps
it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here.

The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a
host route (ie. has DST_HOST set).  Because if we do, an identical
entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the
ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail.

This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when
ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in
order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert
the same host route at the same time.

Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set.

8909c9ad8f net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

36e8695ca5 powerpc/pseries: Disable VPNH feature
This feature triggers nasty races in the scheduler between the
rebuilding of the topology and the load balancing code, causing
the machine to hang.

Disable it for now until the races are fixed.

f2f6dad6ca powerpc/iseries: Fix early init access to lppaca
The combination of commit

8154c5d22d and
93c22703ef

Broke boot on iSeries.

The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).

However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.

We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.

Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.
