91e1062592 dm crypt: use bio_add_page
Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio.

In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request
and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always
the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased
and violate max_phys_segments restriction.

This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction.
This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least
two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently.

Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other
restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec.

All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

512875bd96 dm: table detect io beyond device
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)

The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer.  It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.

This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.

After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

Sample test script to trigger oops:

2c3b20e91f debug: add end-of-oops marker
Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes
from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the
end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to
detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same
oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses.

This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include
a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports.

Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that
at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however
for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on
the fly.

We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact
our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the
console first.

[ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print
  during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses
  that trigger during the same bootup. ]

Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early
crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after
multiple bootups:

  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---
  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---

because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works
fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of
instrumentation code).

f398035f2d [IPSEC]: Avoid undefined shift operation when testing algorithm ID
The aalgos/ealgos fields are only 32 bits wide.  However, af_key tries
to test them with the expression 1 << id where id can be as large as
253.  This produces different behaviour on different architectures.

The following patch explicitly checks whether ID is greater than 31
and fails the check if that's the case.

We cannot easily extend the mask to be longer than 32 bits due to
exposure to user-space.  Besides, this whole interface is obsolete
anyway in favour of the xfrm_user interface which doesn't use this
bit mask in templates (well not within the kernel anyway).

286e310f94 [TG3]: Endianness bugfix.
tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() is reading data from nvram into
allocated buffer before overwriting a part of it with user-supplied
data.  Then it feeds the entire page back to nvram.  It should be
storing the words it had read as little-endian, not as host-endian.
Note that tg3_set_eeprom() does exactly that for padding the same
data to full words before it gets passed down to tg3_nvram_write_block()
and then to tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered().

Moreover, when we get to sending the entire thing back to nvram, we
go through it word-by-word, doing essentially
	writel(swab32(le32_to_cpu(word)), ...)
so if we want them to reach the card in host-independent endianness,
we'd better really have all that buffer filled with fixed-endian.
For user-supplied part we obviously do have that (it's an array of
octets memcpy'd in), ditto for padding of user-supplied part to word
boundaries (taken care of in tg3_set_eeprom()).  The rest of the
buffer gets filled by tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() and it would
damn better be consistent with that (and with tg3_get_eeprom(), while
we are at it - there we also convert the words read from nvram to
little-endian before returning the buffer to user).

The bug should get triggered on big-endian boxen when set_eeprom is done
for less than entire page.  Then the words that should've been unaffected
at all will actually get byteswapped in place in nvram.

b9fc7dc514 [TG3]: Endianness annotations.
Fixed misannotations, introduced a new helper - tg3_nvram_read_le().
It gets __le32 * instead of u32 * and puts there the value converted
to little-endian.  A lot of callers of tg3_nvram_read() were doing
that; converted them to tg3_nvram_read_le().

At that point the driver is practically endian-clean; the only remaining
place is an actual bug, AFAICS; will be dealt with in the next patch.

3a6927906f Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache
Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his
machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel
decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually
write anything out to fix it.

The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal
cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is
called.

Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually
remove the page from the page cache.

This fixes bugzilla entry 9182:
