commit 591b6bb605785c12a21e8b07a08a277065b655a5 upstream.

Several legacy devices such as Geode-based Cisco ASA appliances
and DB800 development board do possess CS5536 IDE controller
with different PCI id than existing one. Using pata_generic is
not always feasible as at least DB800 requires MSR quirk from
pata_cs5536 to be used with vendor firmware.

commit fbf1c41fc0f4d3574ac2377245efd666c1fa3075 upstream.

Commit 0a94efb5acbb ("workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be
overridable") introduced a __WQ_ORDERED_EXPLICIT flag but gave it the
same value as __WQ_LEGACY.  I don't believe these were intended to
mean the same thing, so renumber __WQ_ORDERED_EXPLICIT.

<title>cpumask: fix spurious cpumask_of_node() on non-NUMA multi-node configs</title>

commit b339752d054fb32863418452dff350a1086885b1 upstream.

When !NUMA, cpumask_of_node(@node) equals cpu_online_mask regardless of
@node.  The assumption seems that if !NUMA, there shouldn't be more than
one node and thus reporting cpu_online_mask regardless of @node is
correct.  However, that assumption was broken years ago to support
DISCONTIGMEM and whether a system has multiple nodes or not is
separately controlled by NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES.

This means that, on a system with !NUMA &amp;&amp; NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES,
cpumask_of_node() will report cpu_online_mask for all possible nodes,
indicating that the CPUs are associated with multiple nodes which is an
impossible configuration.

This bug has been around forever but doesn't look like it has caused any
noticeable symptoms.  However, it triggers a WARN recently added to
workqueue to verify NUMA affinity configuration.

Fix it by reporting empty cpumask on non-zero nodes if !NUMA.

commit e48322abb061d75096fe52d71886b237e7ae7bfb upstream.

When the system boots up, in the dmesg logs we can see the memory
statistics along with total reserved as below.  Memory: 458840k/458840k
available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem

When CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same.
However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved.  But, when we see
/proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory.  This creates
confusion.  This patch corrects the problem by properly subtracting the
CMA reserved memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs.

Below is the dmesg snapshot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and
12MB single CMA region.

Before this change:
  Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem

After this change:
  Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 53160k reserved, 12288k cma-reserved, 0K highmem

commit 5e19b013f55a884c59a14391b22138899d1cc4cc upstream.

Add a bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() function which works like
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() function except it allows an offset to be
specified when alignment is checked.  This lets caller request a bit such
that its number plus the offset is aligned according to the mask.

[ Upstream commit 68a66d149a8c78ec6720f268597302883e48e9fa ]

This important to call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() after changing queue
length. Parent qdisc should deactivate class in -&gt;qlen_notify() called from
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() but this happens only if qdisc-&gt;q.qlen in zero.

Missed class deactivations leads to crashes/warnings at picking packets

commit dd1c1f2f2028a7b851f701fc6a8ebe39dcb95e7c upstream.

This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4f5 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task-&gt;group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.

We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups.  Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream.

5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be
ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound
workqueues w/ max_active == 1.  Because ordered workqueues reject
max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode
broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active
== 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes.

This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and
overrides from attribute changes if implict.
