bus: mvebu: pass the coherency availability information at init time

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit 5686a1e5aa436c49187a60052d5885fb1f541ce6 upstream. Until now, the mvebu-mbus was guessing by itself whether hardware I/O coherency was available or not by poking into the Device Tree to see if the coherency fabric Device Tree node was present or not. However, on some upcoming SoCs, the presence or absence of the coherency fabric DT node isn't sufficient: in CONFIG_SMP, the coherency can be enabled, but not in !CONFIG_SMP. In order to clean this up, the mvebu_mbus_dt_init() function is extended to get a boolean argument telling whether coherency is enabled or not. Therefore, the logic to decide whether coherency is available or not now belongs to the core SoC code instead of the mvebu-mbus driver itself, which is much better.

This change in combination with commit e553554536 ("ARM: mvebu: disable I/O coherency on non-SMP situations on Armada 370/375/38x/XP") is critical to the hardware I/O coherency being set correctly by both the mbus driver and all peripheral hardware drivers. Without this change drivers will incorrectly enable I/O coherency window attributes and this causes rare unreliable system behavior including oops. ] Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer Acked-by: Gregory CLEMENT Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

KVM: nSVM: Check for NRIPS support before updating control field

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db upstream. If hardware doesn't support DecodeAssist - a feature that provides more information about the intercept in the VMCB, KVM decodes the instruction and then updates the next_rip vmcb control field. However, NRIP support itself depends on cpuid Fn8000_000A_EDX[NRIPS]. Since skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't verify nrip support before accepting control.next_rip as valid, avoid writing this field if support isn't present.

d_walk() might skip too much

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

When Al Viro's VFS deadlock fix "deal with deadlock in d_walk()" was backported to 3.10.y 3.4.y and 3.2.y stable kernel brances, the deadlock fix was copied to 3 different places. Later, a bug in that code was discovered. Al Viro's fix involved fixing only one part of code in mainline kernel. That fix is called "d_walk() might skip too much". 3.10.y 3.4.y and 3.2.y stable kernel brances need that later fix copied to 3 different places. Greg Kroah-Hartman included Al Viro's "d_walk() might skip too much" fix only once in 3.10.80 kernel, leaving 2 more places without a fix. The patch below was not written by me. I only applied Al Viro's "d_walk() might skip too much" fix 2 more times to 3.10.80 kernel, and cheched that the fixes went to correct places. With this patch applied, all 3 places that I am aware of 3.10.y stable branch are now fixed. Signed-off-by: Jari Ruusu Cc: Willy Tarreau Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ipv6: update ip6_rt_last_gc every time GC is run

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit 49a18d86f66d33a20144ecb5a34bba0d1856b260 upstream. As pointed out by Eric Dumazet, net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc should hold the last time garbage collector was run so that we should update it whenever fib6_run_gc() calls fib6_clean_all(), not only if we got there from ip6_dst_gc().

ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit 2ac3ac8f86f2fe065d746d9a9abaca867adec577 upstream. On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of entries reaches gc_thresh. This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc() doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc() returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after another which blocks them for quite long. Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

xfrm: Increase the garbage collector threshold

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit eeb1b73378b560e00ff1da2ef09fed9254f4e128 upstream. With the removal of the routing cache, we lost the option to tweak the garbage collector threshold along with the maximum routing cache size. So git commit 703fb94ec ("xfrm: Fix the gc threshold value for ipv4") moved back to a static threshold. It turned out that the current threshold before we start garbage collecting is much to small for some workloads, so increase it from 1024 to 32768. This means that we start the garbage collector if we have more than 32768 dst entries in the system and refuse new allocations if we are above 65536.

Btrfs: make xattr replace operations atomic

2015-07-04T02:48:09Z

commit 5f5bc6b1e2d5a6f827bc860ef2dc5b6f365d1339 upstream. Replacing a xattr consists of doing a lookup for its existing value, delete the current value from the respective leaf, release the search path and then finally insert the new value. This leaves a time window where readers (getxattr, listxattrs) won't see any value for the xattr. Xattrs are used to store ACLs, so this has security implications. This change also fixes 2 other existing issues which were: *) Deleting the old xattr value without verifying first if the new xattr will fit in the existing leaf item (in case multiple xattrs are packed in the same item due to name hash collision); *) Returning -EEXIST when the flag XATTR_CREATE is given and the xattr doesn't exist but we have have an existing item that packs muliple xattrs with the same name hash as the input xattr. In this case we should return ENOSPC. A test case for xfstests follows soon. Thanks to Alexandre Oliva for reporting the non-atomicity of the xattr replace implementation.

commit f84598bd7c851f8b0bf8cd0d7c3be0d73c432ff4 upstream. mc_saved_tmp is a static array allocated on the stack, we need to make sure mc_saved_count stays within its bounds, otherwise we're overflowing the stack in _save_mc().
