XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global
counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment
or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu
counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global
counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't
take the global lock on every single modification.

However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which
means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a
hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to
detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence
the accounting goes wrong.

Add __percpu_counter_compare() to take a custom batch size so we can
use it sanely in XFS and factor percpu_counter_compare() to use it.

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.

It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi-&gt;dev is NULL.  This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi-&gt;dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
   blk_cleanup_queue() -&gt; bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
  Commit: 6cd18e711dd8 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")

So this isn't wanted.

It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio().  This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.

Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.

So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
  writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

da91309e0a7e (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Don't use MMIO on certain iwlwifi devices otherwise we get a
    firmware crash.

 2) Don't corrupt the GRO lists of mac80211 contexts by doing sends via
    timer interrupt, from Johannes Berg.

 3) SKB tailroom is miscalculated in AP_VLAN crypto code, from Michal
    Kazior.

 4) Fix fw_status memory leak in iwlwifi, from Haim Dreyfuss.

 5) Fix use after free in iwl_mvm_d0i3_enable_tx(), from Eliad Peller.

 6) JIT'ing of large BPF programs is broken on x86, from Alexei
    Starovoitov.

 7) EMAC driver ethtool register dump size is miscalculated, from Ivan
    Mikhaylov.

 8) Fix PHY initial link mode when autonegotiation is disabled in
    amd-xgbe, from Tom Lendacky.

 9) Fix NULL deref on SOCK_DEAD socket in AF_UNIX and CAIF protocols,
    from Mark Salyzyn.

10) credit_bytes not initialized properly in xen-netback, from Ross
   Lagerwall.

11) Fallback from MSI-X to INTx interrupts not handled properly in mlx4
    driver, fix from Benjamin Poirier.

12) Perform -&gt;attach() after binding dev-&gt;qdisc in packet scheduler,
    otherwise we can crash.  From Cong WANG.

13) Don't clobber data in sctp_v4_map_v6().  From Jason Gunthorpe.

<title>perf/x86: Fix event/group validation</title>

Commit 43b4578071c0 ("perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of
x86_schedule_events()") violated the rule that 'fake' scheduling; as
used for event/group validation; should not change the event state.

This went mostly un-noticed because repeated calls of
x86_pmu::get_event_constraints() would give the same result. And
x86_pmu::put_event_constraints() would mostly not do anything.

Commit e979121b1b15 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption
bug workaround") made the situation much worse by actually setting the
event-&gt;hw.constraint value to NULL, so when validation and actual
scheduling interact we get NULL ptr derefs.

Fix it by removing the constraint pointer from the event and move it
back to an array, this time in cpuc instead of on the stack.

validate_group()
  x86_schedule_events()
    event-&gt;hw.constraint = c; # store

      &lt;context switch&gt;
        perf_task_event_sched_in()
          ...
            x86_schedule_events();
              event-&gt;hw.constraint = c2; # store

              ...

              put_event_constraints(event); # assume failure to schedule
                intel_put_event_constraints()
                  event-&gt;hw.constraint = NULL;

      &lt;context switch end&gt;

    c = event-&gt;hw.constraint; # read -&gt; NULL

    if (!test_bit(hwc-&gt;idx, c-&gt;idxmsk)) # &lt;- *BOOM* NULL deref

This in particular is possible when the event in question is a
cpu-wide event and group-leader, where the validate_group() tries to
add an event to the group.
