rcu: Move lockless_dereference() out of rcupdate.h

2015-08-25T14:57:00Z

commit 0a04b0166929405cd833c1cc40f99e862b965ddc upstream. I want to use lockless_dereference() from seqlock.h, which would mean including rcupdate.h from it, however rcupdate.h already includes seqlock.h. Avoid this by moving lockless_dereference() into compiler.h. This is somewhat tricky since it uses smp_read_barrier_depends() which isn't available there, but its a CPP macro so we can get away with it. The alternative would be moving it into asm/barrier.h, but that would be updating each arch (I can do if people feel that is more appropriate).

rcu: Provide counterpart to rcu_dereference() for non-RCU situations

2015-08-25T14:56:59Z

commit 54ef6df3f3f1353d99c80c437259d317b2cd1cbd upstream. Although rcu_dereference() and friends can be used in situations where object lifetimes are being managed by something other than RCU, the resulting sparse and lockdep-RCU noise can be annoying. This commit therefore supplies a lockless_dereference(), which provides the protection for dereferences without the RCU-related debugging noise. Reported-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Paul E.

arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release()

2015-08-25T14:56:59Z

commit 47933ad41a86a4a9b50bed7c9b9bd2ba242aac63 upstream. A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(), even though there is no need to order prior stores against later loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way to make use of them. This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release() primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional expense on most architectures. In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code might be so replaced. [Changelog by PaulMck] Reviewed-by: "Paul E.

jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails

2015-08-04T14:52:04Z

commit 6f6a6fda294506dfe0e3e0a253bb2d2923f28f0a upstream. If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a normal case. In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts. So in above case we have to return the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and prevent the other node to do update first. And only after recovering journal it can do the new updates.

kexec: allocate the kexec control page with KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP

2015-08-04T14:51:58Z

commit 7e01b5acd88b3f3108d8c4ce44e3205d67437202 upstream. Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

commit a028c6da34d434e35ba8322568c756ea97ff3c18 upstream. On r-/sh-mobile SoCs MSTP clocks are used by the runtime PM to dynamically enable and disable peripheral clocks. To make sure the clock has really started we have to read back its status register until it confirms success.
