net/mlx5_core: Fix trimming down IRQ number

2016-01-31T19:29:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0b6e26ce89391327d955a756a7823272238eb867 ]

With several ConnectX-4 cards installed on a server, one may receive
irqn > 255 from the kernel API, which we mistakenly trim to 8bit.

This causes EQ creation failure with the following stack trace:
[] dump_stack+0x48/0x64
[] __setup_irq+0x3a1/0x4f0
[] request_threaded_irq+0x120/0x180
[] ? mlx5_eq_int+0x450/0x450 [mlx5_core]
[] mlx5_create_map_eq+0x1e4/0x2b0 [mlx5_core]
[] alloc_comp_eqs+0xb1/0x180 [mlx5_core]
[] mlx5_dev_init+0x5e9/0x6e0 [mlx5_core]
[] init_one+0x99/0x1c0 [mlx5_core]
[] local_pci_probe+0x4c/0xa0

Fixing it by changing of the irqn type from u8 to unsigned int to
support values > 255

net: preserve IP control block during GSO segmentation

2016-01-31T19:29:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9207f9d45b0ad071baa128e846d7e7ed85016df3 ]

Skb_gso_segment() uses skb control block during segmentation.
This patch adds 32-bytes room for previous control block which
will be copied into all resulting segments.

This patch fixes kernel crash during fragmenting forwarded packets.
Fragmentation requires valid IP CB in skb for clearing ip options.
Also patch removes custom save/restore in ovs code, now it's redundant.

unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets

2016-01-31T19:28:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 712f4aad406bb1ed67f3f98d04c044191f0ff593 ]

It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than
the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them
to keep the process' fd count low.

This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs
in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having
more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.

usb: core: lpm: fix usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node

2016-01-31T19:28:58+00:00

commit bf5ce5bf3cc7136fd7fe5e8999a580bc93a9c8f6 upstream.

Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3
hardware LPM") introduced usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node. This
doesn't show the correct status of USB3 U1 and U2 LPM status.

This patch fixes this by replacing usb3_hardware_lpm with two
nodes, usb3_hardware_lpm_u1 (for U1) and usb3_hardware_lpm_u2
(for U2), and recording the U1/U2 LPM status in right places.

This patch should be back-ported to kernels as old as 4.3,
that contains Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support
to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM").

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "PeiyangX Qiu reported that if a module fails to load between calling
  ftrace_module_init() and do_init_module() that the allocations made in
  ftrace_module_init() will not be freed, resulting in a memory leak.

  The solution is to call ftrace_release_mod() on the failing module in
  the fail path befor do_init_module() is called.  This will remove any
  allocations made for that module, and nothing if ftrace_module_init()
  wasn't called yet for that module.

  Note, once do_init_module() is called, the MODULE_GOING notifiers are
  called for the failed module, which calls into the ftrace code to do
  the proper clean up (basically calling ftrace_release_mod())"

ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early

2016-01-07T17:17:39+00:00

If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before
calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because
ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace
hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still
calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of
the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before
then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed.

Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before
getting to do_init_module().

Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
 "Three last MTD fixes for v4.4.  These are all fixes for regressions
  and bugs reported mid cycle.  Unfortunately, some of them took a bit
  long to get proper testing and feedback.

   - Assign the default MTD name earlier in the registration process, so
     partition parsers (like cmdlinepart) see the right name.  Without
     this, some systems may come up with unpartitioned flash.  This was
     a v4.4-rc1 regression.

   - Revert some new Winbond SPI NOR flash unlocking/locking support;
     new code in v4.4 caused regressions on some Spansion flash.

   - Fix mis-typed parameter ordering in SPI NOR unlock function; this
     bug was introduced in v4.4-rc1"

sched/core: Fix unserialized r-m-w scribbling stuff

2016-01-06T10:01:07+00:00

Some of the sched bitfieds (notably sched_reset_on_fork) can be set
on other than current, this can cause the r-m-w to race with other
updates.

Since all the sched bits are serialized by scheduler locks, pull them
in a separate word.

sched/core: Check tgid in is_global_init()

2016-01-06T10:01:06+00:00

Our global init task can have sub-threads, so ->pid check is not reliable
enough for is_global_init(), we need to check tgid instead. This has been
spotted by Oleg and a fix was proposed by Richard a long time ago (see the
link below).

Oleg wrote:

  : Because is_global_init() is only true for the main thread of /sbin/init.
  :
  : Just look at oom_unkillable_task(). It tries to not kill init. But, say,
  : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init()
  : and still kill it.

I recently hit the problem in question; re-sending the patch (to the
best of my knowledge it has never been submitted) with updated function
comment. Credit goes to Oleg and Richard.
