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
    RIP: _raw_spin_lock+0x25/0x30

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

<content type='text'>
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.

Recently added commit 564b026fbd0d ("string_helpers: fix precision loss
for some inputs") fixed precision issues for string_get_size() and broke
tests.

Fix and improve them: test both STRING_UNITS_2 and STRING_UNITS_10 at a
time, better failure reporting, test small an huge values.

<title>debugobjects: Allow bigger number of early boot objects</title>

On my bigger s390 systems  I always get "Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled". Since the number of objects is needed at
compile time, we can not change the size dynamically before
the caches etc are available. Doubling the size seems to
do the trick. Since it is init data it will be freed anyway,
this should be ok.

Pull crypto fixes from Herbert Xu:
 "This fixes the following issues:

  API:
   - A large number of bug fixes for the af_alg interface, credit goes
     to Dmitry Vyukov for discovering and reporting these issues.

   - sw842 needs to select crc32.
   - The soft dependency on crc32c is now in the correct spot.

  Drivers:
   - The atmel AES driver needs HAS_DMA.
   - The atmel AES driver was a missing break statement, fortunately
     it's only a debug function.
   - A number of bug fixes for the Intel qat driver"

Pull crypto fixes from Herbert Xu:
 "This fixes the following issues:

  API:
   - A large number of bug fixes for the af_alg interface, credit goes
     to Dmitry Vyukov for discovering and reporting these issues.

  Algorithms:
   - sw842 needs to select crc32.
   - The soft dependency on crc32c is now in the correct spot.

  Drivers:
   - The atmel AES driver needs HAS_DMA.
   - The atmel AES driver was a missing break statement, fortunately
     it's only a debug function.
   - A number of bug fixes for the Intel qat driver"

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 4.5, with the exception of
  NVMe, which is in a separate branch and will be posted after this one.

  This pull request contains:

   - A set of bcache stability fixes, which have been acked by Kent.
     These have been used and tested for more than a year by the

<title>ratelimit: fix bug in time interval by resetting right begin time</title>

<id>c2594bc37f4464bc74f2c119eb3269a643400aa0</id>
<content type='text'>
rs-&gt;begin in ratelimit is set in two cases.
 1) when rs-&gt;begin was not initialized
 2) when rs-&gt;interval was passed

For case #2, current ratelimit sets the begin to 0.  This incurrs
improper suppression.  The begin value will be set in the next ratelimit
call by 1).  Then the time interval check will be always false, and
rs-&gt;printed will not be initialized.  Although enough time passed,
ratelimit may return 0 if rs-&gt;printed is not less than rs-&gt;burst.  To
reset interval properly, begin should be jiffies rather than 0.

For an example code below:

    static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(mylimit, 1, 1);
    for (i = 1; i &lt;= 10; i++) {
        if (__ratelimit(&amp;mylimit))
            printk("ratelimit test count %d\n", i);
        msleep(3000);
    }

test result in the current code shows suppression even there is 3 seconds sleep.

  [  78.391148] ratelimit test count 1
  [  81.295988] ratelimit test count 2
  [  87.315981] ratelimit test count 4

<title>Merge branch 'uaccess' (batched user access infrastructure)</title>

<id>404a47410c26a115123885977053e9a1a4460929</id>
<content type='text'>
Expose an interface to allow users to mark several accesses together as
being user space accesses, allowing batching of the surrounding user
space access markers (SMAP on x86, PAN on arm64, domain register
switching on arm).

This is currently only used for the user string lenth and copying
functions, where the SMAP overhead on x86 drowned the actual user
accesses (only noticeable on newer microarchitectures that support SMAP
in the first place, of course).

* user access batching branch:
  Use the new batched user accesses in generic user string handling
  Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses
  x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses
