&gt; BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
&gt; IP: _raw_spin_lock+0xc/0x30
&gt; PGD 0

Fix this by taking a reference to the super block in proc_sys_prune_dcache.

The superblock reference is the core of the fix however the sysctl_inodes
list is converted to a hlist so that hlist_del_init_rcu may be used.  This
allows proc_sys_prune_dache to remove inodes the sysctl_inodes list, while
not causing problems for proc_sys_evict_inode when if it later choses to
remove the inode from the sysctl_inodes list.  Removing inodes from the
sysctl_inodes list allows proc_sys_prune_dcache to have a progress
guarantee, while still being able to drop all locks.  The fact that
head-&gt;unregistering is set in start_unregistering ensures that no more
inodes will be added to the the sysctl_inodes list.

Previously the code did a dance where it delayed calling iput until the
next entry in the list was being considered to ensure the inode remained on
the sysctl_inodes list until the next entry was walked to.  The structure
of the loop in this patch does not need that so is much easier to
understand and maintain.

commit c743f0a5c50f2fcbc628526279cfa24f3dabe182 upstream.

More users for for_each_cpu_wrap() have appeared. Promote the construct
to generic cpumask interface.

The implementation is slightly modified to reduce arguments.

commit f77af15165847406b15d8f70c382c4cb15846b2a upstream.

The TPM class has some common shutdown code that must be executed for
all drivers. This adds some needed functionality for that.

Wen reports significant memory leaks with DIF and O_DIRECT:

"With nvme devive + T10 enabled, On a system it has 256GB and started
logging /proc/meminfo &amp; /proc/slabinfo for every minute and in an hour
it increased by 15968128 kB or ~15+GB.. Approximately 256 MB / minute
leaking.

/proc/meminfo | grep SUnreclaim...

SUnreclaim:     22307264 kB
SUnreclaim:     22485888 kB
SUnreclaim:     22720256 kB

When testcases with T10 enabled call into __blkdev_direct_IO_simple,
code doesn't free memory allocated by bio_integrity_alloc. The patch
fixes the issue. HTX has been run with +60 hours without failure."

Since __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() allocates the bio on the stack, it
doesn't go through the regular bio free. This means that any ancillary
data allocated with the bio through the stack is not freed. Hence, we
can leak the integrity data associated with the bio, if the device is
using DIF/DIX.

Fix this by providing a bio_uninit() and export it, so that we can use
it to free this data. Note that this is a minimal fix for this issue.
Any current user of bio's that are allocated outside of
bio_alloc_bioset() suffers from this issue, most notably some drivers.
We will fix those in a more comprehensive patch for 4.13. This also
means that the commit marked as being fixed by this isn't the real
culprit, it's just the most obvious one out there.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A few fixes for timekeeping and timers:

   - Plug a subtle race due to a missing READ_ONCE() in the timekeeping
     code where reloading of a pointer results in an inconsistent
     callback argument being supplied to the clocksource-&gt;read function.

   - Correct the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting in the
     time keeping core code, to prevent a possible discontuity.

   - Apply a similar fix to the arm64 vdso clock_gettime()
     implementation

   - Add missing includes to clocksource drivers, which relied on
     indirect includes which fails in certain configs.

   - Use the proper iomem pointer for read/iounmap in a probe function"

Commit bf5eb3de3847 ("slub: separate out sysfs_slab_release() from
sysfs_slab_remove()") made slub sysfs file removals synchronous to
kmem_cache shutdown.

Unfortunately, this created a possible ABBA deadlock between slab_mutex
and sysfs draining mechanism triggering the following lockdep warning.

It'd be the cleanest to deal with the issue by removing sysfs files
without holding slab_mutex before the rest of shutdown; however, given
the current code structure, it is pretty difficult to do so.

This patch punts sysfs file removal to a work item.  Before commit
bf5eb3de3847, the removal was punted to a RCU delayed work item which is
executed after release.  Now, we're punting to a different work item on
shutdown which still maintains the goal removing the sysfs files earlier
when destroying kmem_caches.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a set of fixes for xen-blkback by way of Konrad, and a
  performance regression fix for blk-mq for shared tags.

  The latter could account for as much as a 50x reduction in
  performance, with the test case from the user with 500 name spaces. A
  more realistic setup on my end with 32 drives showed a 3.5x drop. The
  fix has been thoroughly tested before being committed"
