In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error
code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it
is an 'enum' and hence unsigned.

The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it
is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling
ERR_PTR.

On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in
the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted
to a pointer.  Subsequent code determines that this is not
negative, and so  dereferences it with predictable results.

So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR.

  the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
  performing manual migration.

  cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
  workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq

powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.

It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.

This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.

Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
        workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
        shouldn't break other existing users.

It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.

However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important.  For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.

So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).

This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.

So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.

This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

While this patch seemed like a good idea and did help some workloads,
it hurts other workloads.
Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster,
Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower.

Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential
writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch
is definitely negative.  So revert it.

IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock.  Commit c83ce989 ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression

The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed.  This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.

This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.
