Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
 "Final set of -rc fixes for 4.6.

  I've collected up a number of patches that are all pretty small with
  the exception of only a couple.  The hfi1 driver has a number of
  important patches, and it is what really drives the line count of this
  pull request up.  These are all small and I've got this kernel built
  and running in the test lab (I have most of the hardware, I think nes
  is the only thing in this patch set that I can't say I've personally
  tested and have up and running).

  Summary:

   - A number of collected fixes for oopses, memory corruptions,
     deadlocks, etc.  All of these fixes are small (many only 5-10
     lines), obvious, and tested.

   - Fix for the security issue related to the use of write for
     bi-directional communications"

<title>numa: fix /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/numa_maps for THP</title>

<id>28093f9f34cedeaea0f481c58446d9dac6dd620f</id>
<content type='text'>
In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs
split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2
and 2/2 respectively).

With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the
page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from
being split under us.

We still need patch 2/2.  This is simplified version of Andrea's patch.
We don't need fancy encoding.

With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the
page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from
being split under us.

We still need patch 2/2.  This is simplified version of Andrea's patch.
We don't need fancy encoding.

<title>mm: exclude HugeTLB pages from THP page_mapped() logic</title>

HugeTLB pages cannot be split, so we use the compound_mapcount to track
rmaps.

Currently page_mapped() will check the compound_mapcount, but will also
go through the constituent pages of a THP compound page and query the
individual _mapcount's too.

Unfortunately, page_mapped() does not distinguish between HugeTLB and
THP compound pages and assumes that a compound page always needs to have
HPAGE_PMD_NR pages querying.

For most cases when dealing with HugeTLB this is just inefficient, but
for scenarios where the HugeTLB page size is less than the pmd block
size (e.g.  when using contiguous bit on ARM) this can lead to crashes.

This patch adjusts the page_mapped function such that we skip the
unnecessary THP reference checks for HugeTLB pages.

Fixes: e1534ae95004 ("mm: differentiate page_mapped() from page_mapcount() for compound pages")

Pull Ceph fixes from Sage Weil:
 "There is a lifecycle fix in the auth code, a fix for a narrow race
  condition on map, and a helpful message in the log when there is a
  feature mismatch (which happens frequently now that the default
  server-side options have changed)"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client:
  rbd: report unsupported features to syslog
  rbd: fix rbd map vs notify races
  libceph: make authorizer destruction independent of ceph_auth_client

<title>IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface</title>

The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl().  This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.

For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.

For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).

The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.
