       "So, safe fixes my ass.
      
        Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
        timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
        sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
        use cases.
      
        Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
        wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
        introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
        as it was only going to use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
        struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
        it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
        save some bytes.
      
        Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
        now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
        but I think we better do that after 3.7.
      
        I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
        to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are
        more such abuses."

      vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings · 57302e0d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
      block size information (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
      private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
      block mapping path.
      
      That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
      the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
      under normal circumstances it "just worked".
      
      However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
      straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
      access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
      partially extends past the end.
      
      The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
      this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
      some other value - can modify that block size.
      
      So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
      head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
      smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
      
      This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
      device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
      device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
      last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
      rest of the device.
      
      So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
      code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
      would be a separate patch.

      workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s · fc4b514f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
      0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
      megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
      then pass that into queue_delayed_work().
      
      Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
      queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.  8852aac2
      moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
      delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().
      
      Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8 ("megaraid: fix
      BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
      BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
      abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
      machine.

      megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work · c1d390d8
      Xiaotian Feng 提交于
      megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the
      hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and
      schedule_delayed_work on it.  This is very dangerous, as other part of
      delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others.
      
      With commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
      timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer
      before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to
      hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code.  Change megaraid code to use
      delayed work.

      well merge it now.
      
      This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in
      this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and
      block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c
      instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c.
      
      This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler,
      and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore
      introduced for mount.
      
      I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this
      during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it
      into stable.

      open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64) · 9d73fc2d
      Al Viro 提交于
      The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are
       1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags
       2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags
       3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit
       4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for
          native 64bit
      
      There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing
      O_LARGEFILE and arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same
      thing.  The same binaries on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will
      *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO both are emulation bugs.
      
      Objections? The fix is obvious...

      Pull  late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes.  One was for a
        long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
        regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
        the two fixes together.
      
        The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
        w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  It only triggers on workqueue destructions
        which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
        called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well.  Apparently,
        if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
        indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
      
        The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
        kthread function.
      
        The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
        mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
        Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
        which expires on the closest next tick.  Some users of the new
        function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
        queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
      
        Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
        and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
        network.  The fix, again, is fairly simple.  The 0 delay special case
        logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
        __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
        and mod_delayed_work_on().
      
        The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
        latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
        wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
        fixes are fairly safe"

      tcp: fix crashes in do_tcp_sendpages() · 64022d0b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Recent network changes allowed high order pages being used
      for skb fragments.
      
      This uncovered a bug in do_tcp_sendpages() which was assuming its caller
      provided an array of order-0 page pointers.
      
      We only have to deal with a single page in this function, and its order
      is irrelevant.

      workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay · 8852aac2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      8376fe22 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
      implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
      try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
      replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
      
      Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
      differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
      queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
      directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
      timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
      is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
      makes the target item immediately executable while
      mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
      
      This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
      e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
      and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
      unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
      of context switches under certain circumstances.
      
      The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
      for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
      queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
      ("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
      The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
      I missed that it was a correctness issue.
      
      As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
      __queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
      is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
      duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
      
      Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
      queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
      Joonsoo's patch.

      workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING · 412d32e6

      A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
      off, never to be seen again.  In the case where this occurred, an exiting
      thread hit reiserfs homebrew conditional resched while holding a mutex,
      bringing the box to its knees.
