Unlike kobject_set_name(), the kset_create_and_add() interface does not
provide a way to use format strings, so make sure that the interface
cannot be abused accidentally. It looks like all current callers use
static strings, so there's no existing flaw.

If sysfs_notify is called on a binary attribute, bad things can
happen, so prevent it.
Note, no in-kernel usage of this is currently present, but in the
future, it's good to be safe.
Changes in V2:
- Also ignore sysfs_notify on dirs, links
- Use WARN_ON rather than silently failing
- Compiled and tested (huge apologies about first submission)

Update the sysfs memory code to create/delete files at the time of device
and subsystem registration.
The current code creates files in the root memory directory explicitly through
the use of init_* routines. The files for each memory block are created and
deleted explicitly using the mem_[create|delete]_simple_file macros.
This patch creates attribute groups for the memory root files and files in
each memory block directory so that they are created and deleted implicitly
at subsys and device register and unregister time.
This did necessitate moving the register_memory() updating it to set the
dev.groups field.

When CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is unset, kill_requests_without_uevent()

Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to
handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during
suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware
loading forever.
Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so
they don't hit in direct loading too.

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the
usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked
when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by
some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in
non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs
flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus
blocks the reboot, too.
As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a
reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before
issuing usermodehelper_disable().

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.
do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
scanned again
And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()
The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a
code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set
the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for
corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.
So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made
default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias
handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build

The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in
the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at
exit_aio() time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its
completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to
wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by modifying the
wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately.
This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code
posted yesterday.

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an
application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a
benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program.
/proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not
be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas.
Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd())
assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And
this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics
on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures.
There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a
task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than
change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore
VM_PFNMAP areas.
The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we
want to test any vma in the range.
VM_PFNMAP areas are used by:
- graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
- global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c
- sgi special memory char/mspec.c
- and probably several out-of-tree modules

Last time we found there is lock/unlock bug in ocfs2_file_aio_write, and
then we did a thorough search for all lock resources in

bug. My kernel version is 3.0.13, and it is also in the lastest version
3.9. In ocfs2_fiemap, once ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache failed, it should
goto out_unlock instead of out, because we need release buffer head, up
read alloc sem and unlock inode.

Commit 902c098a3663 ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt
path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless
cmpxchg-retry update.
That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits
from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace
read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in
account() to use cmpxchg as well.
It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to
read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets
corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0
all the way from account() to the actual read() call.
Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of
what has been partially done by 902c098a3663.

Commit ec8f02da9ea5 ("random: prime last_data value per fips
requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements.
Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all
incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra
data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics.
The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single
shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in
fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just
extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with
the normal routine.
All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and
architectures where panics were previously encoutered. The code changes
are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips
mode.
This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips
users on 3.8.x happy.

nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty for page at EOF boundary
DESCRIPTION:
There are use-cases when NILFS2 file system (formatted with block size
lesser than 4 KB) can be remounted in RO mode because of encountering of
"broken bmap" issue.
The issue was reported by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>:
"The machine I've been trialling nilfs on is running Debian Testing,
Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc
version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2), but I've
also reproduced it (identically) with Debian Unstable amd64 and Debian
Experimental (using the 3.8-trunk kernel). The problematic partitions
were formatted with "mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192"."
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error messages likewise:
[63102.496756] nilfs_direct_assign: invalid pointer: 0
[63102.496786] NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28)
[63102.496798]
[63102.524403] Remounting filesystem read-only
(2) The NILFS2 file system is remounted in RO mode.
REPRODUSING PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
VG=unencrypted
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
sleep 2
date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
INVESTIGATION:
As it was discovered, the issue takes place during segment
construction after executing such sequence of user-space operations:
open("_darcs/index", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0666) = 7
fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
ftruncate(7, 60)
The error message "NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken
bmap (inode number=28)" takes place because of trying to get block
number for third block of the file with logical offset #3072 bytes. As
it is possible to see from above output, the file has 60 bytes of the
whole size. So, it is enough one block (1 KB in size) allocation for
the whole file. Trying to operate with several blocks instead of one
takes place because of discovering several dirty buffers for this file
in nilfs_segctor_scan_file() method.
The root cause of this issue is in nilfs_set_page_dirty function which
is called just before writing to an mmapped page.
When nilfs_page_mkwrite function handles a page at EOF boundary, it
fills hole blocks only inside EOF through __block_page_mkwrite().
The __block_page_mkwrite() function calls set_page_dirty() after filling
hole blocks, thus nilfs_set_page_dirty function (=
a_ops->set_page_dirty) is called. However, the current implementation
of nilfs_set_page_dirty() wrongly marks all buffers dirty even for page
at EOF boundary.
As a result, buffers outside EOF are inconsistently marked dirty and
queued for write even though they are not mapped with nilfs_get_block
function.
FIX:
This modifies nilfs_set_page_dirty() not to mark hole blocks dirty.
Thanks to Vyacheslav Dubeyko for his effort on analysis and proposals
for this issue.

The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the radix
tree. Otherwise there is a small race which can occur during lookup
where the page can be found with the incorrect index. This will trigger
the BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().

In reviewing man pages, I noticed that io_getevents is documented to
update the timeout that gets passed into the library call. This doesn't
happen in kernel space or in the library (even though it's documented to
do so in both places). Unless there is objection, I'd like to fix the
comments/docs to match the code (I will also update the man page upon
consensus).

During the development of this driver an in-house register documentation
was used. The last week some integration tests were done and this
problem was found. It turned out that the released register
documentation is wrong.
The fix is very simple: shift all masks by one.

We should not use set_pmd_at to update pmd_t with pgtable_t pointer.
set_pmd_at is used to set pmd with huge pte entries and architectures
like ppc64, clear few flags from the pte when saving a new entry.
Without this change we observe bad pte errors like below on ppc64 with
THP enabled.
