(cherry picked from commit 83aff95eb9d60aff5497e9f44a2ae906b86d8e88)

This would reset a connection with any OSD that had an outstanding
request that was taking more than N seconds.  The idea was that if the
OSD was buggy, the client could compensate by resending the request.

In reality, this only served to hide server bugs, and we haven't
actually seen such a bug in quite a while.  Moreover, the userspace
client code never did this.

More importantly, often the request is taking a long time because the
OSD is trying to recover, or overloaded, and killing the connection
and retrying would only make the situation worse by giving the OSD
more work to do.

<title>audit: create explicit AUDIT_SECCOMP event type</title>

commit 7b9205bd775afc4439ed86d617f9042ee9e76a71 upstream.

The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
could only kill a process.  While we still want to make sure an audit
record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.

In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
record if the process is under inspection.  This change also fixes
userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

commit 901593f2bf221659a605bdc1dcb11376ea934163 upstream.

Avoid clobbering adjacent blocks if they happen to expire earlier and
amalgamate together to form the requested hole.

In passing this fixes a regression from
commit ea7b1dd44867e9cd6bac67e7c9fc3f128b5b255c
Author: Daniel Vetter &lt;daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch&gt;
Date:   Fri Feb 18 17:59:12 2011 +0100

    drm: mm: track free areas implicitly

which swaps the end address for size (with a potential overflow) and
effectively causes the eviction code to clobber almost all earlier
buffers above the evictee.

v2: Check the original hole not the adjusted as the coloring may confuse
us when later searching for the overlapping nodes. Also make sure that
we do apply the range restriction and color adjustment in the same
order for both scanning, searching and insertion.

v3: Send the version that was actually tested.

Note that this seems to be ducttape of decent quality ot paper over
some of our unbind related gpu hangs reported since 3.7. It is not
fully effective though, and certainly doesn't fix the underlying bug.

<title>mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page</title>

commit 8fb74b9fb2b182d54beee592350d9ea1f325917a upstream.

Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when
waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket.  It was easier to trigger if
there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to
commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available").

The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under
memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt
THP allocations but the approach was flawed.  For Eric, the problem was
that page-&gt;pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading
to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to
be dropped.  However, I identified a few more problems with the patch
including the fact that it can increase contention on zone-&gt;lock in some
cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early.

In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach.  What it should
have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it
was allocating for THP and avoided races that way.  While the patch was
showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is
marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from
scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have
taken place since the patch was first written and tested.  This patch
partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a
suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

commit 621eb19ce1ec216e03ad354cb0c4061736b2a436 upstream.

Commit bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f "sunrpc/cache.h: replace
simple_strtoul" introduced new range-checking which could cause get_int
to fail on unsigned integers too large to be represented as an int.

We could parse them as unsigned instead--but it turns out svcgssd is
actually passing down "-1" in some cases.  Which is perhaps stupid, but
there's nothing we can do about it now.

So just revert back to the previous "sloppy" behavior that accepts
either representation.

<title>OMAP: board-files: fix i2c_bus for tfp410</title>

<id>4be6f33ca418c24a214f19a7e2316bba1d1fe921</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ca2e16faa7378878c1522a7c1b6c38211de3331d upstream.

The i2c handling in tfp410 driver, which handles converting parallel RGB
to DVI, was changed in 958f2717b84e88bf833d996997fda8f73276f2af
(OMAPDSS: TFP410: pdata rewrite). The patch changed what value the
driver considers as invalid/undefined.  Before the patch, 0 was the
invalid value, but as 0 is a valid bus number, the patch changed this to
-1.

However, the fact was missed that many board files do not define the bus
number at all, thus it's left to 0. This causes the driver to fail to
get the i2c bus, exiting from the driver's probe with an error, meaning
that the DVI output does not work for those boards.

This patch fixes the issue by changing the i2c_bus number field in the
driver's platform data from u16 to int, and setting the bus number to -1
in the board files for the boards that did not define the bus. The
exception is devkit8000, for which the bus is set to 1, which is the
correct bus for that board.

The bug exists in v3.5+ kernels.

commit 90a38d999739f35f4fc925c875e6ee518546b66c upstream.

Older gcc (&lt; 4.4) doesn't like files starting with Unicode BOMs:

include/linux/mfd/da9055/core.h:1: error: stray ‘\357’ in program
include/linux/mfd/da9055/core.h:1: error: stray ‘\273’ in program

include/linux/mfd/da9055/reg.h:1: error: stray ‘\277’ in program

Remove the BOMs, the rest of the files is plain ASCII anyway.

Output of "file" before:

commit 5b632fe85ec82e5c43740b52e74c66df50a37db3 upstream.

Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending
failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression
on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by
commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let
mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter
commit caused yet another problem reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22

After long discussion in this thread:
http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com
and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other
setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both
mentioned earlier commits.

To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit
f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it,
introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before
the commit.

<title>linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors</title>

commit c4e18497d8fd92eef2c6e7eadcc1a107ccd115ea upstream.

Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.

Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457).  The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame.  As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.

Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform.  This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.

One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.

Other impact is unpredictable.  Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

<title>mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT</title>

<id>787f7301074ccd07a3e82236ca41eefd245f4e07</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 53a59fc67f97374758e63a9c785891ec62324c81 upstream.

Since commit e303297e6c3a ("mm: extended batches for generic
mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either
tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done.

This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with
non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)
on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft
lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no
scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the
freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup.

The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on
softlockup which is not that unusual.

The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum
number of batches in a single mmu_gather.  10k of collected pages should
be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if
they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point.

This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it
relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls
cond_resched per PMD.

The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge
process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details).
