Commit 4550dd6c6b introduced for_each_bvec() which iterates over each
bvec attached to a bio or bip. However, the macro fails to check bi_size
before dereferencing which can lead to crashes while counting/mapping
integrity scatterlist segments.

If chandef had non-HT width it was possible for
radar_enabled update to not be propagated properly
through drv_config(). This happened because
ieee80211_hw_conf_chan() would never see different
local->hw.conf.chandef and local->_oper_chandef.
This wasn't a problem with HT chandefs because
_oper_chandef width is reset to non-HT in
ieee80211_free_chanctx() making
ieee80211_hw_conf_chan() to kick in.
This problem led (at least) ath10k to not start
CAC if prior CAC was cancelled and both CACs were
requested for identical non-HT chandefs.

Jouni reported that when doing off-channel transmissions mixed
with on-channel transmissions, the on-channel ones ended up on
the off-channel in some cases.
The reason for that is that during the refactoring of the off-
channel code, I lost the part that stopped all activity and as
a consequence the on-channel frames (including data frames)
were no longer queued but would be transmitted on the temporary
channel.
Fix this by simply restoring the lost activity stop call.

For sequential workload (or request size big workload), get_active_stripe can
find cached stripe. In this case, we always hold device_lock, which exposes a
lot of lock contention for such workload. If stripe count isn't 0, we don't
need hold the lock actually, since we just increase its count. And this is the

In NUMA machine, prepare_to_wait/finish_wait in make_request exposes a

can just do prepare_to_wait/finish_wait once for the whold bio instead
of every stripe. This reduces the lock contention completely for such
workload. Random workload might have the similar lock contention too,

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),
then that process maintains a pointer to md_event_waiters, and when
the try to unlink from that list, they will oops.
The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:
1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by
setting md_unloading)
2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and
3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our
wait_queue_head.

This was caused by that 'sd->groups == NULL' after building groups, which
was caused by the empty 'sd->span'.
The cpu's domain contained nothing because the cpu was assigned to a wrong
node, due to the following unfortunate sequence of events:
1. The hypervisor sent a topology update to the guest OS, to notify changes
to the cpu-node mapping. However, the update was actually redundant - i.e.,
the "new" mapping was exactly the same as the old one.
2. Due to this, the 'updated_cpus' mask turned out to be empty after exiting
the 'for-loop' in arch_update_cpu_topology().
3. So we ended up calling stop-machine() with an empty cpumask list, which made
stop-machine internally elect cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask), i.e., CPU0 as
the cpu to run the payload (the update_cpu_topology() function).
4. This causes update_cpu_topology() to be run by CPU0. And since 'updates'
is kzalloc()'ed inside arch_update_cpu_topology(), update_cpu_topology()
finds update->cpu as well as update->new_nid to be 0. In other words, we
end up assigning CPU0 (and eventually its siblings) to node 0, incorrectly.
Along with the following wrong updating, it causes the sched-domain rebuild
code to break and crash the system.
Fix this by skipping the topology update in cases where we find that
the topology has not actually changed in reality (ie., spurious updates).

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.
This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.
From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that
his kvm instance fails to suspend. Laszlo bisected it down to this
commit 1cf7e9c68f ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is
converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure.
After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue
drain. blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is
incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed.
The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything
seemed fine. In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when
suspend was in progress.
When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with
the general state. blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with
the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter
notifier. However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state
when the CPU is fully gone. This leaves a state transition where the
CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds
private values. This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum()
returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for
abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never
happen.
Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where
the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state. This bug
has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where
percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops
below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache
remains from thrashing.
However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large
and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the
file set might just be a small window of used-once cache. In such
situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be
recycling the no longer used cache.
This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")
because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are
dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones.
To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but
instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.
