commit 522d7dec(futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()) added a bogus comment.
/* Note that preemption is disabled by futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
* call sites. */
Bogus in two aspects:
1) pagefault_disable != preempt_disable even if the mechanism we use
is the same
2) we have a call site which deliberately does not disable pagefaults
as it wants the possible fault to be handled - though that has been
changed for consistency reasons now.
Sigh. I really should have seen that when committing the above. :(

handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without
disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious.
We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not
guarantee a R/W mapping.
We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually
changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is
better.
Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.

struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct
rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures
smaller as well.
The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get
its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease
the size of plist_head by half.

The original code uses &plist_node->plist as the fake head of
the priority list for plist_del(), these debug locks in
the fake head are needed for CONFIG_DEBUG_PI_LIST.
But now we always pass the real head to plist_del(), the debug locks
in plist_node will not be used, so we remove these assignments.

Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.
It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head.
But it is undocumented usage:
/**
* plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
*
* @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
* @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head
*/
The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list.
In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all.
Thanks to Darren Hart for many suggestions.

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

Andi Kleen narrowed his GPU hangs on his Sugar Bay (SNB desktop) rev 09
down to the use of GPU semaphores, and we already know that they appear
broken up to Huron River (mobile) rev 08. (I'm optimistic that disabling
GPU semaphores is simply hiding another bug by the latency and
side-effects of the additional device interaction it introduces...)
However, use of semaphores is a massive performance improvement... Only
as long as the system remains stable. Enable at your peril.

If a virtio-console device gets unplugged while a port is open, a
subsequent close() call on the port accesses vqs to free up buffers.
This can lead to a crash.
The buffers are already freed up as a result of the call to

vq information if port->portdev is NULL.

FIFO by the System Agent. This is a limited resource, only 64 entries, of
which 20 are reserved for Display and PCH writes, and so we must take
care not to queue up too many writes. To avoid this, there is counter
which we can poll to ensure there are sufficient free entries in the
fifo.

Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation. Most
callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged daemon
now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page instead.
This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory for an
existing process which uses local policy.
The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just uses the
node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative would be to
look at multiple pages and use the most popular node. I used the
simplest variant for now which should work well enough for the case of
all pages being on the same node.

This driver causes hard lockups, when the active clock soure is jiffies.
The reason is that it loops with interrupts disabled waiting for a
timestamp to be reached by polling getnstimeofday(). Though with a
jiffies clocksource, when that code runs on the same CPU which is
responsible for updating jiffies, then we loop in circles for ever
simply because the timer interrupt cannot update jiffies. So both UP
and SMP can be affected.
There is no easy fix for that problem so make it depend on BROKEN for
now.

It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.
We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
__nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
xs_sendpages. __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set. We can't create a buffer with
kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
to either:
1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
PG_Slab set
or
2) not use a page list to send this data
Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
think (1) is the right way to go. I've written the below patch to
allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
to it. This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
the frame is acked. We do a put page on each entry after the
rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages. This way the data
will be properly freed when the ack comes in
Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.
Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.

The standby logic used to be pretty dependent on the work requeueing
behavior that changed when we switched to WQ_NON_REENTRANT. It was also
very fragile.
Restructure things so that:
- We clear WRITE_PENDING when we set STANDBY. This ensures we will
requeue work when we wake up later.
- con_work backs off if STANDBY is set. There is nothing to do if we are
in standby.
- clear_standby() helper is called by both con_send() and con_keepalive(),
the two actions that can wake us up again. Move the connect_seq++
logic here.
