commit 1f5d78dc4823a85f112aaa2d0f17624f8c2a6c52 upstream.

We switch to dynamic debugging in commit
56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 but did not take into account that
now we do not control anymore whether a specific message is enabled or not.
So now we lock the "dbg_lock" and release it in every debugging macro, which
make them not so light-weight.

This commit removes the "dbg_lock" protection from the debugging macros to
fix the issue.

The downside is that now our DBGKEY() stuff is broken, but this is not
critical at all and will be fixed later.

<title>proc: clear_refs: do not clear reserved pages</title>

commit 85e72aa5384b1a614563ad63257ded0e91d1a620 upstream.

/proc/pid/clear_refs is used to clear the Referenced and YOUNG bits for
pages and corresponding page table entries of the task with PID pid, which
includes any special mappings inserted into the page tables in order to
provide things like vDSOs and user helper functions.

On ARM this causes a problem because the vectors page is mapped as a
global mapping and since ec706dab ("ARM: add a vma entry for the user
accessible vector page"), a VMA is also inserted into each task for this
page to aid unwinding through signals and syscall restarts.  Since the
vectors page is required for handling faults, clearing the YOUNG bit (and
subsequently writing a faulting pte) means that we lose the vectors page
*globally* and cannot fault it back in.  This results in a system deadlock
on the next exception.

To see this problem in action, just run:

	$ echo 1 &gt; /proc/self/clear_refs

on an ARM platform (as any user) and watch your system hang.  I think this
has been the case since 2.6.37

This patch avoids clearing the aforementioned bits for reserved pages,
therefore leaving the vectors page intact on ARM.  Since reserved pages
are not candidates for swap, this change should not have any impact on the
usefulness of clear_refs.

<title>pnfs-obj: Must return layout on IO error</title>

commit fe0fe83585f88346557868a803a479dfaaa0688a upstream.

As mandated by the standard. In case of an IO error, a pNFS
objects layout driver must return it's layout. This is because
all device errors are reported to the server as part of the
layout return buffer.

This is implemented the same way PNFS_LAYOUTRET_ON_SETATTR
is done, through a bit flag on the pnfs_layoutdriver_type-&gt;flags
member. The flag is set by the layout driver that wants a
layout_return preformed at pnfs_ld_{write,read}_done in case
of an error.
(Though I have not defined a wrapper like pnfs_ld_layoutret_on_setattr
 because this code is never called outside of pnfs.c and pnfs IO
 paths)

Without this patch 3.[0-2] Kernels leak memory and have an annoying
WARN_ON after every IO error utilizing the pnfs-obj driver.

commit 5c0b4129c07b902b27d3f3ebc087757f534a3abd upstream.

Some time along the way pNFS IO errors were switched to
communicate with a special iodata-&gt;pnfs_error member instead
of the regular RPC members. But objlayout was not switched
over.

Fix that!
Without this fix any IO error is hanged, because IO is not
switched to MDS and pages are never cleared or read.

<title>proc: clean up and fix /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mem handling</title>

commit e268337dfe26dfc7efd422a804dbb27977a3cccc upstream.

Jüri Aedla reported that the /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mem handling really isn't very
robust, and it also doesn't match the permission checking of any of the
other related files.

This changes it to do the permission checks at open time, and instead of
tracking the process, it tracks the VM at the time of the open.  That
simplifies the code a lot, but does mean that if you hold the file
descriptor open over an execve(), you'll continue to read from the _old_
VM.

That is different from our previous behavior, but much simpler.  If
somebody actually finds a load where this matters, we'll need to revert
this commit.

I suspect that nobody will ever notice - because the process mapping
addresses will also have changed as part of the execve.  So you cannot
actually usefully access the fd across a VM change simply because all
the offsets for IO would have changed too.

commit c3e0ef9a298e028a82ada28101ccd5cf64d209ee upstream.

For 32-bit architectures using standard jiffies the idletime calculation
in uptime_proc_show will quickly overflow. It takes (2^32 / HZ) seconds
of idle-time, or e.g. 12.45 days with no load on a quad-core with HZ=1000.
Switch to 64-bit calculations.

<title>fix shrink_dcache_parent() livelock</title>

<content type='text'>
commit eaf5f9073533cde21c7121c136f1c3f072d9cf59 upstream.

Two (or more) concurrent calls of shrink_dcache_parent() on the same dentry may
cause shrink_dcache_parent() to loop forever.

Here's what appears to happen:

1 - CPU0: select_parent(P) finds C and puts it on dispose list, returns 1

2 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks P-&gt;d_lock

3 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() locks C-&gt;d_lock
   dentry_kill(C) tries to lock P-&gt;d_lock but fails, unlocks C-&gt;d_lock

4 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks C-&gt;d_lock,
         moves C from dispose list being processed on CPU0 to the new
dispose list, returns 1

5 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() finds dispose list empty, returns

6 - Goto 2 with CPU0 and CPU1 switched

Basically select_parent() steals the dentry from shrink_dentry_list() and thinks
it found a new one, causing shrink_dentry_list() to think it's making progress
and loop over and over.

One way to trigger this is to make udev calls stat() on the sysfs file while it
is going away.

Having a file in /lib/udev/rules.d/ with only this one rule seems to the trick:

ATTR{vendor}=="0x8086", ATTR{device}=="0x10ca", ENV{PCI_SLOT_NAME}="%k", ENV{MATCHADDR}="$attr{address}", RUN+="/bin/true"

Then execute the following loop:

while true; do
        echo -bond0 &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
        echo +bond0 &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
        echo -bond1 &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
        echo +bond1 &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
done

One fix would be to check all callers and prevent concurrent calls to
shrink_dcache_parent().  But I think a better solution is to stop the
stealing behavior.

This patch adds a new dentry flag that is set when the dentry is added to the
dispose list.  The flag is cleared in dentry_lru_del() in case the dentry gets a
new reference just before being pruned.

If the dentry has this flag, select_parent() will skip it and let
shrink_dentry_list() retry pruning it.  With select_parent() skipping those
dentries there will not be the appearance of progress (new dentries found) when
there is none, hence shrink_dcache_parent() will not loop forever.

Set the flag is also set in prune_dcache_sb() for consistency as suggested by
Linus.

commit fed474857efbed79cd390d0aee224231ca718f63 upstream.

Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".

To reproduce

  add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
  rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir

This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.

Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here:

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860

Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after
the iput.

<title>nfsd: Fix oops when parsing a 0 length export</title>

commit b2ea70afade7080360ac55c4e64ff7a5fafdb67b upstream.

expkey_parse() oopses when handling a 0 length export. This is easily
triggerable from usermode by writing 0 bytes into
'/proc/[proc id]/net/rpc/nfsd.fh/channel'.

Below is the log:

commit d34315da9146253351146140ea4b277193ee5e5f upstream.

Patch 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 broke UBIFS debugging messages:
before that commit when UBIFS debugging was enabled, users saw few useful
debugging messages after mount. However, that patch turned 'dbg_msg()' into
'pr_debug()', so to enable the debugging messages users have to enable them
first via /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control, which is very impractical.

This commit makes 'dbg_msg()' to use 'printk()' instead of 'pr_debug()', just
as it was before the breakage.
