commit f2ea0f5f04c97b48c88edccba52b0682fbe45087 upstream.

Use standard ror64() instead of hand-written.
There is no standard ror64, so create it.

The difference is shift value being "unsigned int" instead of uint64_t
(for which there is no reason). gcc starts to emit native ROR instructions
which it doesn't do for some reason currently. This should make the code
faster.

Patch survives in-tree crypto test and ping flood with hmac(sha512) on.

<title>lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel</title>

commit 3310225dfc71a35a2cc9340c15c0e08b14b3c754 upstream.

PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to &lt;=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs
in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit():

	bdi_dirty *= numerator;
	do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator);

1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator,
   which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT &gt; 32.

2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator
   used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty

<title>PCI: Rework ASPM disable code</title>

commit 3c076351c4027a56d5005a39a0b518a4ba393ce2 upstream.

Right now we forcibly clear ASPM state on all devices if the BIOS indicates
that the feature isn't supported. Based on the Microsoft presentation
"PCI Express In Depth for Windows Vista and Beyond", I'm starting to think
that this may be an error. The implication is that unless the platform
grants full control via _OSC, Windows will not touch any PCIe features -
including ASPM. In that case clearing ASPM state would be an error unless
the platform has granted us that control.

This patch reworks the ASPM disabling code such that the actual clearing
of state is triggered by a successful handoff of PCIe control to the OS.
The general ASPM code undergoes some changes in order to ensure that the
ability to clear the bits isn't overridden by ASPM having already been
disabled. Further, this theoretically now allows for situations where
only a subset of PCIe roots hand over control, leaving the others in the
BIOS state.

It's difficult to know for sure that this is the right thing to do -
there's zero public documentation on the interaction between all of these
components. But enough vendors enable ASPM on platforms and then set this
bit that it seems likely that they're expecting the OS to leave them alone.

Measured to save around 5W on an idle Thinkpad X220.

<title>block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices</title>

commit 0bfc96cb77224736dfa35c3c555d37b3646ef35e upstream.

[ Changes with respect to 3.3: return -ENOTTY from scsi_verify_blk_ioctl
  and -ENOIOCTLCMD from sd_compat_ioctl. ]

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd-&gt;bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

commit 577ebb374c78314ac4617242f509e2f5e7156649 upstream.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

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

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.

If ctrls-&gt;count is too high the multiplication could overflow and
array_size would be lower than expected.  Mauro and Hans Verkuil
suggested that we cap it at 1024.  That comes from the maximum
number of controls with lots of room for expantion.

<title>memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issue</title>

commit ab936cbcd02072a34b60d268f94440fd5cf1970b upstream.

Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page().  This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page.  WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information.  memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.

In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache().  So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
 In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc-&gt;mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone-&gt;lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.

Background:
  replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
  Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
  page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
  because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
  If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.

This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet.  I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.

The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak.  So, no panic, no deadlock.  And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed.  So no problem at shutdown.
