Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is unusually large, partly due to the EFI fixes that prevent
  accidental deletion of EFI variables through efivarfs that may brick
  machines.  These fixes are somewhat involved to maintain compatibility
  with existing install methods and other usage modes, while trying to
  turn off the 'rm -rf' bricking vector.

  Other fixes are for large page ioremap()s and for non-temporal
  user-memcpy()s"

Because we record connector_mask using 1 &lt;&lt; drm_connector_index now
the connector_mask should stay the same even when other connectors
are removed. This was not the case with MST, in that case when removing
a connector all other connectors may change their index.

This is fixed by waiting until the first get_connector_state to allocate
connector_state, and force reallocation when state is too small.

As a side effect connector arrays no longer have to be preallocated,
and can be allocated on first use which means a less allocations in
the page flip only path.

Changes since v1:
- Whitespace. (Ville)
- Call ida_remove when destroying the connector. (Ville)
- u32 alloc -&gt; int. (Ville)

<id>13d34ac6e55b8284c592c67e166ac614b3c4c1d7</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit c510eff6beba ("fsnotify: destroy marks with
call_srcu instead of dedicated thread").

Eryu reported that he was seeing some OOM kills kick in when running a
testcase that adds and removes inotify marks on a file in a tight loop.

The above commit changed the code to use call_srcu to clean up the
marks.  While that does (in principle) work, the srcu callback job is
limited to cleaning up entries in small batches and only once per jiffy.
It's easily possible to overwhelm that machinery with too many call_srcu
callbacks, and Eryu's reproduer did just that.

There's also another potential problem with using call_srcu here.  While
you can obviously sleep while holding the srcu_read_lock, the callbacks
run under local_bh_disable, so you can't sleep there.

It's possible when putting the last reference to the fsnotify_mark that
we'll end up putting a chain of references including the fsnotify_group,
uid, and associated keys.  While I don't see any obvious ways that that
could occurs, it's probably still best to avoid using call_srcu here
after all.

This patch reverts the above patch.  A later patch will take a different
approach to eliminated the dedicated thread here.

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.

This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

Fixes: 5156dca34a3e ("ftrace: Fix the race between ftrace and insmod")

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A collection of fixes from the past few weeks that should go into 4.5.
  This contains:

   - Overflow fix for sysfs discard show function from Alan.

   - A stacking limit init fix for max_dev_sectors, so we don't end up
     artificially capping some use cases.  From Keith.

   - Have blk-mq proper end unstarted requests on a dying queue, instead
     of pushing that to the driver.  From Keith.

   - NVMe:
        - Update to Kconfig description for NVME_SCSI, since it was
          vague and having it on is important for some SUSE distros.
          From Christoph.
        - Set of fixes from Keith, around surprise removal. Also kills
          the no-merge flag, so it supports merging.

   - Set of fixes for lightnvm from Matias, Javier, and Wenwei.

   - Fix null_blk oops when asked for lightnvm, but not available.  From
     Matias.

   - Copy-to-user EINTR fix from Hannes, fixing a case where SG_IO fails
     if interrupted by a signal.

   - Two floppy fixes from Jiri, fixing signal handling and blocking
     open.

   - A use-after-free fix for O_DIRECT, from Mike Krinkin.

   - A block module ref count fix from Roman Pen.

   - An fs IO wait accounting fix for O_DSYNC from Stephane Gasparini.

   - Smaller reallo fix for xen-blkfront from Bob Liu.

   - Removal of an unused struct member in the deadline IO scheduler,
     from Tahsin.

   - Also from Tahsin, properly initialize inode struct members
     associated with cgroup writeback, if enabled.

   - From Tejun, ensure that we keep the superblock pinned during cgroup
     writeback"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (25 commits)
  blk: fix overflow in queue_discard_max_hw_show
  writeback: initialize inode members that track writeback history
  writeback: keep superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches
  bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interrupted
  NVMe: Rate limit nvme IO warnings
  NVMe: Poll device while still active during remove
  NVMe: Requeue requests on suspended queues
  NVMe: Allow request merges
  NVMe: Fix io incapable return values
  blk-mq: End unstarted requests on dying queue
  block: Initialize max_dev_sectors to 0
  null_blk: oops when initializing without lightnvm
  block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle
  nvme: fix Kconfig description for BLK_DEV_NVME_SCSI
  kernel/fs: fix I/O wait not accounted for RW O_DSYNC
  floppy: refactor open() flags handling
  lightnvm: allow to force mm initialization
  lightnvm: check overflow and correct mlc pairs
  lightnvm: fix request intersection locking in rrpc
  lightnvm: warn if irqs are disabled in lock laddr
