Send async page fault to a PV guest if it accesses swapped out memory.
Guest will choose another task to run upon receiving the fault.

Allow async page fault injection only when guest is in user mode since
otherwise guest may be in non-sleepable context and will not be able
to reschedule.

Vcpu will be halted if guest will fault on the same page again or if
vcpu executes kernel code.

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it
needs to protect part of the address space from allocation.

Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree,
but there are cases where that doesn't work well.  For example, x86 BIOS
E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of,
all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the

The nvram_get function was never in the mainline kernel, it only existed in
an external OpenWrt patch. Use nvram_getenv function, which is in mainline

contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to
parse it before adding it into macaddr.

nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through

There are some situations (e.g. in __pm_generic_call()), where
pm_runtime_suspended() is used to decide whether or not to execute
a device's (system) ->suspend() callback.  The callback is not
executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so
for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the
power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it.  This leads to
problems (i.e. devices are not suspened when they should), so rework
pm_runtime_suspended() so that it returns false if the device's
power.disable_depth field is different from zero.

The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.

New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.

To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

commit b0ed7a91(ACPICA/ACPI: Add new host interfaces for _OSI suppor)
introduced a regression that _OSI string setup fails.

There are 2 paths to setup _OSI string.

DMI:
acpi_dmi_osi_linux -> set_osi_linux -> acpi_osi_setup -> copy _OSI
string to osi_setup_string

Boot command line:
acpi_osi_setup -> copy _OSI string to osi_setup_string

Later, acpi_osi_setup_late will be called to handle osi_setup_string.
If _OSI string is "Linux" or "!Linux", then the call path is,

acpi_osi_setup_late -> acpi_cmdline_osi_linux -> set_osi_linux ->
acpi_osi_setup -> copy _OSI string to osi_setup_string

This actually never installs _OSI string(acpi_install_interface not
called), but just copy the _OSI string to osi_setup_string.

This patch fixes the regression.

When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
pagecache page.

However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
possibly still in use.

Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
the request is being freed.

Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using

Signed-off-by: NLino Sanfilippo <LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de>
Signed-off-by: NEric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
queued into the groups access list will be woken up.  Processes for which no
event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
fsnotify_put_group() is called.
Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
is called).
This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.

[additional changelog from eparis]
Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'.  Where operator is the
process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
the fanotify file descriptor.  The 'responder' is the thread responsible
for responding to access requests.  'Closer' is the thread attempting to
close the fanotify file descriptor.

The 'operator' is going to end up in:
fanotify_handle_event()
  get_response_from_access()
    (THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)

The 'listener' interesting code path
fanotify_read()
  copy_event_to_user()
    prepare_for_access_response()
      (THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)

The 'responder' code path:
fanotify_write()
  process_access_response()
    (REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')

The 'closer':
fanotify_release()
  (SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)

What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
ever created in prepare_for_access_response().

The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
move along.  You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access().  You
also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet.  So I agree
that's a good fix.

There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
of different memory pages while the image is being saved.  Since the
kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.

This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
the hibernation is aborted.  Unfortunately, for this purpose
it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.

On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running:

  # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
  # find  /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file

crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen.  Often it results in oops
messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
and made Xen print some rude messages:

    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp
    3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7)
    (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms
    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp
    1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb)
    (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04

Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it.  This is because
vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
while still having these RW aliases.

Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
itself as needed to maintain its invariants.

When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
immediately.  There's no point in deferring this because there's no
amortization benefit.

The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
cost of the IPIs.

This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf8 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
pages") .  XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible
for doing the actual mapping and unmapping.
We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping
the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number
from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI.

This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when
trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq
mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would
try to assign a new pirq anyway.

Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

Like in the "TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing" patch,
this one fixes a TTY WARNING as described in the option 1) there:
1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in
the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup.

The fix is to introduce a new flag which we set during the unlocked
window and check it in tty_reopen too. The flag is TTY_HUPPING and is
cleared after TTY_HUPPED is set.

While at it, remove duplicate TTY_HUPPED set_bit. The one after
calling ops->hangup seems to be more correct. But anyway, we hold
tty_lock, so there should be no difference.

Also document the function it does that kind of crap.

This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a

Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.

Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.

Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
