bus: mvebu: pass the coherency availability information at init time

2015-07-04T02:48:09+00:00

commit 5686a1e5aa436c49187a60052d5885fb1f541ce6 upstream.

Until now, the mvebu-mbus was guessing by itself whether hardware I/O
coherency was available or not by poking into the Device Tree to see
if the coherency fabric Device Tree node was present or not.

However, on some upcoming SoCs, the presence or absence of the
coherency fabric DT node isn't sufficient: in CONFIG_SMP, the
coherency can be enabled, but not in !CONFIG_SMP.

In order to clean this up, the mvebu_mbus_dt_init() function is
extended to get a boolean argument telling whether coherency is
enabled or not. Therefore, the logic to decide whether coherency is
available or not now belongs to the core SoC code instead of the
mvebu-mbus driver itself, which is much better.

[ Greg Ungerer: back ported to linux-3.10.y
Back port necessary due to large code differences in affected files.
This change in combination with commit e553554536 ("ARM: mvebu: disable
I/O coherency on non-SMP situations on Armada 370/375/38x/XP") is
critical to the hardware I/O coherency being set correctly by both the
mbus driver and all peripheral hardware drivers. Without this change
drivers will incorrectly enable I/O coherency window attributes and
this causes rare unreliable system behavior including oops. ]

ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention

2015-07-04T02:48:09+00:00

commit 2ac3ac8f86f2fe065d746d9a9abaca867adec577 upstream.

On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

include/linux/sched.h: don't use task->pid/tgid in same_thread_group/has_group_leader_pid

2015-07-04T02:48:08+00:00

commit e1403b8edf669ff49bbdf602cc97fefa2760cb15 upstream.

task_struct->pid/tgid should go away.

1. Change same_thread_group() to use task->signal for comparison.

2. Change has_group_leader_pid(task) to compare task_pid(task) with
   signal->leader_pid.

get rid of s_files and files_lock

fput: turn "list_head delayed_fput_list" into llist_head

2015-07-04T02:48:08+00:00

commit 4f5e65a1cc90bbb15b9f6cdc362922af1bcc155a upstream.

fput() and delayed_fput() can use llist and avoid the locking.

This is unlikely path, it is not that this change can improve
the performance, but this way the code looks simpler.

libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change

2015-06-06T06:19:58+00:00

commit 09c5b4803a80a5451d950d6a539d2eb311dc0fb1 upstream.

When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

ACPICA: Tables: Change acpi_find_root_pointer() to use acpi_physical_address.

2015-05-17T16:51:33+00:00

commit f254e3c57b9d952e987502aefa0804c177dd2503 upstream.

ACPICA commit 7d9fd64397d7c38899d3dc497525f6e6b044e0e3

OSPMs like Linux expect an acpi_physical_address returning value from
acpi_find_root_pointer(). This triggers warnings if sizeof (acpi_size) doesn't
equal to sizeof (acpi_physical_address):
  drivers/acpi/osl.c:275:3: warning: passing argument 1 of 'acpi_find_root_pointer' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu
lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in
the tree.  We're going to implement what it seems to try to archive in a
simpler way, and this code is in the way of doing so.

nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-17T16:51:32+00:00

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream.

The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.
