There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race
can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.
CPU0 CPU1
try_to_unuse
looks at mm = task0->mm
increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.
Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU
The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.
Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive
The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.
Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline.
commit 37bb6cb409
hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup
changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50
and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and

This should help avoid permission issues upon changes to the proc tree

This does not alter labeling of symlinks within /proc/pid directories.

Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface.
Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the
device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers. The device
tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since
2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem.
Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270
driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of
new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

The dmabounce dma_sync_xxx() implementation have been broken for
quite some time; they all copy data between the DMA buffer and
the CPU visible buffer no irrespective of the change of ownership.
(IOW, a DMA_FROM_DEVICE mapping copies data from the DMA buffer
to the CPU buffer during a call to dma_sync_single_for_device().)
Fix it by getting rid of sync_single(), moving the contents into
the recently created dmabounce_sync_for_xxx() functions and adjusting
appropriately.
This also makes it possible to properly support the DMA range sync
functions.

Resets make ATAPI devices raise UNIT ATTENTION which fails the next
command. As resets can happen asynchronously for unrelated reasons,
this sometimes disrupts innocent users. For example, reading DVD
fails after the system wakes up from suspend or the other device
sharing the channel went through bus error.
Clearing UA has some problems as it might clear UA which the userland
needs to know about. However, UA after resets can only be about the
reset itself and benefits of clearing it overweights cons. Missing UA
can only delay failure to one of the following commands anyway. For
example, timeout while burning is in progress will trigger reset and
reset the device state and probably corrupt the burning run. Although
the userland application won't get the UA, its pending writes will
fail.

On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD
FEATURE as specified in ATA-7 is issued to the device and processing of
the request queue is stopped thereafter until the specified timeout
expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed
to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the
platter when a heavy shock is anticipated (like a falling laptop
expected to hit the floor). In fact, the whole port stops processing
commands until the timeout has expired in order to avoid any resets due
to failed commands on another device.
