2016-05-18xfs: concurrent readdir hangs on data buffer locksDave Chinner
There's a three-process deadlock involving shared/exclusive barriers and inverted lock orders in the directory readdir implementation. It's a pre-existing problem with lock ordering, exposed by the VFS parallelisation code. process 1 process 2 process 3 --------- --------- --------- readdir iolock(shared) get_leaf_dents iterate entries ilock(shared) map, lock and read buffer iunlock(shared) process entries in buffer ..... readdir iolock(shared) get_leaf_dents iterate entries ilock(shared) map, lock buffer <blocks> finish ->iterate_shared file_accessed() ->update_time start transaction ilock(excl) <blocks> ..... finishes processing buffer get next buffer ilock(shared) <blocks> And that's the deadlock. Fix this by dropping the current buffer lock in process 1 before trying to map the next buffer. This means we keep the lock order of ilock -> buffer lock intact and hence will allow process 3 to make progress and drop it's ilock(shared) once it is done.

2016-05-18arc: axs103_smp: Fix CPU frequency to 100MHz for dual-coreAlexey Brodkin
The most recent release of AXS103 [v1.1] is proven to work at 100 MHz in dual-core mode so this change uses mentioned feature. For that we: * Update axc003_idu.dtsi with mention of really-used CPU clock freq * Remove clock override in AXS platform code for dual-core HW Note we're still leaving a hack for clock "downgrade" on early boot for quad-core hardware. Also note this change will break functionality of AXS103 v1.0 hardware. That means all users of AXS103 __must__ upgrade their boards with the most recent firmware.

2016-05-18batman-adv: Fix unexpected free of bcast_own on add_if errorSven Eckelmann
The function batadv_iv_ogm_orig_add_if allocates new buffers for bcast_own and bcast_own_sum. It is expected that these buffers are unchanged in case either bcast_own or bcast_own_sum couldn't be resized. But the error handling of this function frees the already resized buffer for bcast_own when the allocation of the new bcast_own_sum buffer failed. This will lead to an invalid memory access when some code will try to access bcast_own. Instead the resized new bcast_own buffer has to be kept. This will not lead to problems because the size of the buffer was only increased and therefore no user of the buffer will try to access bytes outside of the new buffer.

This has to be checked to avoid kernel Oopses when the ifinfo is dereferenced. This a situation which isn't expected but is already handled by functions like batadv_v_neigh_cmp.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7: Core infrastructural changes: - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages. This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to get high impedance. This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just wrote. - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was unmaintained. Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs ACKed the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request. - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input, serial, SSB, staging etc to use it. - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is implemented - whether the line is input or output. This also reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio". - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for a while). I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days. This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g. GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace. New drivers: - New driver for the Loongson1. - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64. - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628. - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2. Driver improvements: - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now also suppors level-triggered interrupts. - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO. - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994 support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some cases open source. - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like PL061, Xgene. Cleanups: - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those who are not really modules. - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they belong. - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the point.

2016-05-17ubifs: Switch to generic xattr handlersAndreas Gruenbacher
Ubifs internally uses special inodes for storing xattrs. Those inodes had NULL {get,set,remove}xattr inode operations before this change, so xattr operations on them would fail. The super block's s_xattr field would also apply to those special inodes. However, the inodes are not visible outside of ubifs, and so no xattr operations will ever be carried out on them anyway.

2016-05-17cifs: remove any preceding delimiter from prefix_pathSachin Prabhu
We currently do not check if any delimiter exists before the prefix path in cifs_compose_mount_options(). Consequently when building the devname using cifs_build_devname() we can end up with multiple delimiters separating the UNC and the prefix path. An issue was reported by the customer mounting a folder within a DFS share from a Netapp server which uses McAfee antivirus. We have narrowed down the cause to the use of double backslashes in the file name used to open the file. This was determined to be caused because of additional delimiters as a result of the bug. In addition to changes in cifs_build_devname(), we also fix cifs_parse_devname() to ignore any preceding delimiter for the prefix path. The problem was originally reported on RHEL 6 in RHEL bz 1252721. This is the upstream version of the fix. The fix was confirmed by looking at the packet capture of a DFS mount.

2016-05-17r8169: default to 64-bit DMA on recent PCIe chipsArd Biesheuvel
The current logic around the 'use_dac' module parameter prevents the r81969 driver from being loadable on 64-bit systems without any RAM below 4 GB when the parameter is left at its default value. So introduce a new default value -1 which indicates that 64-bit DMA should be enabled on sufficiently recent PCIe chips, i.e., versions RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_18 or later. Explicit param values of 0 or 1 retain the existing behavior of unconditionally enabling/disabling 64-bit DMA on 64-bit architectures (i.e., regardless of the type and version of the chip) Since PCIe chips do not need to CPlusCmd Dual Address Cycle to be set, make that conditional on the device type as well.

In the current implementation of ARM64 eBPF JIT, R23 and R24 are used for tmp registers, which are callee-saved registers. This leads to variable size of JIT prologue and epilogue. The latest blinding constant change prefers to constant size of prologue and epilogue. AAPCS reserves R9 ~ R15 for temp registers which not need to be saved/restored during function call. So, replace R23 and R24 to R10 and R11, and remove tmp_used flag to save 2 instructions for some jited BPF program.

2016-05-17asix: Fix offset calculation in asix_rx_fixup() causing slow transmissionsJohn Stultz

We found the issue also was reproducible on a x86_64 system, using a "high-speed" USB2.0 port but the throughput did not measurably drop (possibly due to the scp transfer being cpu bound on my slow test hardware). After lots of debugging, I found the check added in the problematic commit seems to be calculating the offset incorrectly. In the normal case, in the main loop of the function, we do: (where offset is zero, or set to "offset += (copy_length + 1) & 0xfffe" in the previous loop) rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset); offset += sizeof(u32); But the problematic patch calculates: offset = ((rx->remaining + 1) & 0xfffe) + sizeof(u32); rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset); Adding some debug logic to check those offset calculation used to find rx->header, the one in problematic code is always too large by sizeof(u32). Thus, this patch removes the incorrect " + sizeof(u32)" addition in the problematic calculation, and resolves the issue. Cc: Dean Jenkins <Dean_Jenkins@mentor.com> Cc: "David B.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro. This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory. That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the directory inode mutex. The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker. The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock). A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro: "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications there. After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following: - untangle security_d_instantiate() - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the cycle... - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately. - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing ->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry. Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() - making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking shared. - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method '->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched already), but it's still not quite finished. - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir; that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only shared. Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem code etc. had become exposed... - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open() without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the ->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of that - atomic_open() fix got brought in. - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem now - rmdir being the writer. Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel now. - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified as well.
