commit d7ce36924344ace0dbdc855b1206cacc46b36d45 upstream.

Some servers experienced fatal deadlocks because of a combination of
bugs, leading to multiple cpus calling dump_stack().

The checksumming bug was fixed in commit 34ae6a1aa054 ("ipv6: update
skb-&gt;csum when CE mark is propagated").

The second problem is a faulty locking in dump_stack()

CPU1 runs in process context and calls dump_stack(), grabs dump_lock.

   CPU2 receives a TCP packet under softirq, grabs socket spinlock, and
   call dump_stack() from netdev_rx_csum_fault().

   dump_stack() spins on atomic_cmpxchg(&amp;dump_lock, -1, 2), since
   dump_lock is owned by CPU1

While dumping its stack, CPU1 is interrupted by a softirq, and happens
to process a packet for the TCP socket locked by CPU2.

CPU1 spins forever in spin_lock() : deadlock

Stack trace on CPU1 looked like :

    NMI backtrace for cpu 1

<title>radix-tree: fix race in gang lookup</title>

commit 46437f9a554fbe3e110580ca08ab703b59f2f95a upstream.

If the indirect_ptr bit is set on a slot, that indicates we need to redo
the lookup.  Introduce a new function radix_tree_iter_retry() which
forces the loop to retry the lookup by setting 'slot' to NULL and
turning the iterator back to point at the problematic entry.

This is a pretty rare problem to hit at the moment; the lookup has to
race with a grow of the radix tree from a height of 0.  The consequences
of hitting this race are that gang lookup could return a pointer to a
radix_tree_node instead of a pointer to whatever the user had inserted
in the tree.

commit ea535e418c01837d07b6c94e817540f50bfdadb0 upstream.

In include/asm-generic/sections.h:

  /*
   * Usage guidelines:
   * _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in
   * arch-independent code
   * [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain
   * .rodata.*
   *                   and/or .init.* sections

_text is not guaranteed across architectures.  Architectures such as ARM
may reuse parts which are not actually text and erroneously trigger a bug.
Switch to using _stext which is guaranteed to contain text sections.

<title>string_helpers: fix precision loss for some inputs</title>

commit 564b026fbd0d28e9f70fb3831293d2922bb7855b upstream.

It was noticed that we lose precision in the final calculation for some
inputs.  The most egregious example is size=3000 blk_size=1900 in units
of 10 should yield 5.70 MB but in fact yields 3.00 MB (oops).

This is because the current algorithm doesn't correctly account for
all the remainders in the logarithms.  Fix this by doing a correct
calculation in the remainders based on napier's algorithm.

Additionally, now we have the correct result, we have to account for
arithmetic rounding because we're printing 3 digits of precision.  This
means that if the fourth digit is five or greater, we have to round up,
so add a section to ensure correct rounding.  Finally account for all
possible inputs correctly, including zero for block size.

commit 00cd29b799e3449f0c68b1cc77cd4a5f95b42d17 upstream.

The starting node for a klist iteration is often passed in from
somewhere way above the klist infrastructure, meaning there's no
guarantee the node is still on the list.  We've seen this in SCSI where
we use bus_find_device() to iterate through a list of devices.  In the
face of heavy hotplug activity, the last device returned by
bus_find_device() can be removed before the next call.  This leads to

[...]

And an eventual crash. It can actually occur in any hotplug system
which has a device finder and a starting device.

We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for
klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it
(and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).

And an eventual crash. It can actually occur in any hotplug system
which has a device finder and a starting device.

We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for
klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it
(and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).

<title>crypto: crc32c - Fix crc32c soft dependency</title>

commit fd7f6727102a1ccf6b4c1dfcc631f9b546526b26 upstream.

I don't think it makes sense for a module to have a soft dependency
on itself. This seems quite cyclic by nature and I can't see what
purpose it could serve.

OTOH libcrc32c calls crypto_alloc_shash("crc32c", 0, 0) so it pretty
much assumes that some incarnation of the "crc32c" hash algorithm has
been loaded. Therefore it makes sense to have the soft dependency
there (as crc-t10dif does.)

<title>rhashtable: Kill harmless RCU warning in rhashtable_walk_init</title>

The commit c6ff5268293ef98e48a99597e765ffc417e39fa5 ("rhashtable:
Fix walker list corruption") causes a suspicious RCU usage warning
because we no longer hold ht-&gt;mutex when we dereference ht-&gt;tbl.

However, this is a false positive because we now hold ht-&gt;lock
which also guarantees that ht-&gt;tbl won't disppear from under us.

This patch kills the warning by using rcu_dereference_protected.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

   These are tagged for -stable.  The scatterlist impact is potentially
  corrupted dma addresses on HIGHMEM enabled platforms.

 - A minor locking fix for the NFIT hot-add implementation that is new
   in 4.4-rc.  This would only trigger in the case a hot-add raced
   driver removal.

dma-debug uses struct dma_debug_entry to keep track of dma coherent
memory allocation requests. The virtual address is converted into a pfn
and an offset. Previously, the offset was calculated using an incorrect
bit mask.  As a result, we saw incorrect error messages from dma-debug
like the following:

"DMA-API: exceeded 7 overlapping mappings of cacheline 0x03e00000"

Cacheline 0x03e00000 does not exist on our platform.
