be2net: fix a possible events_get() race on BE2
On BE2 chip, an interrupt being raised even when EQ is in un-armed state has
been observed a few times. This is not expected and has never been
observed on BE3/Lancer chips.
As a consequence, be_msix()::events_get() and be_poll()::events_get()
can race and notify an EQ wrongly causing a CEV UE. The other possible
side-effect would be traffic stalling because after notifying EQ,
napi_schedule() is ignored as NAPI is already running.
This patch fixes this issue by counting events only in be_poll().

tipc: introduce message to synchronize broadcast link
Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
packets should start.
The following scenarios may happen:
1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
packets from sequence number N.
2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
packet N.
4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
to be received from B.
7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.
In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:
10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
[0,M-1].
12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
link is stale in direction B->A.
We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.
Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
message has been received.
To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
happen with the same probability as before.

tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism
Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion
mechanism:
Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be
flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion,
all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing
buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has
relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try
our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the
buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again.
However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the
device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always
assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism
as it exists currently is of no value.
But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example,
when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of
the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state
information is not removed.

If an implied connect is attempted on a nonblocking STREAM/SEQPACKET
socket during link congestion, the connect message will be discarded
and sendmsg will return EAGAIN. This is normal behavior, and the
application is expected to poll the socket until POLLOUT is set,
after which the connection attempt can be retried.
However, the POLLOUT flag is never set for unconnected sockets and
poll() always returns a zero mask. The application is then left without
a trigger for when it can make another attempt at sending the message.
The solution is to check if we're polling on an unconnected socket
and set the POLLOUT flag if the TIPC port owned by this socket
is not congested. The TIPC ports waiting on a specific link will be
marked as 'not congested' when the link congestion have abated.

tipc: fix race/inefficiencies in poll/wait behaviour
When an application blocks at poll/select on a TIPC socket
while requesting a specific event mask, both the filter_rcv() and
wakeupdispatch() case will wake it up unconditionally whenever
the state changes (i.e an incoming message arrives, or congestion
has subsided). No mask is used.
To avoid this, we populate sk->sk_data_ready and sk->sk_write_space
with tipc_data_ready and tipc_write_space respectively, which makes
tipc more in alignment with the rest of the networking code. These
pass the exact set of possible events to the waker in fs/select.c
hence avoiding waking up blocked processes unnecessarily.
In doing so, we uncover another issue -- that there needs to be a
memory barrier in these poll/receive callbacks, otherwise we are
subject to the the same race as documented above wq_has_sleeper()
[in commit a57de0b4 "net: adding memory barrier to the poll and

macb macb: eth0: BUG! Tx Ring full when queue awake!
macb macb: eth0: tx_head = 0, tx_tail = 0
And hanginig forever...
I remove the macb_tx_ring_avail() function and use the
proven macros from circ_buf.h. CIRC_CNT() is used in the
"consumer" part of the driver: macb_tx_interrupt() to match
advice from Documentation/circular-buffers.txt.

userns: make each net (net_ns) belong to a user_ns
The user namespace which creates a new network namespace owns that

capability checks for privileged operations against network resources to
the user_ns which created the network namespace in which the resource
lives. Privilege to the user namespace which owns the network
namespace, or any parent user namespace thereof, provides the same
privilege to the network resource.

Revert commit 7f1290f2f2a4 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.
Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
which takes care of the memcg uncharge.

mm: highmem: don't treat PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) as a highmem address
kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address
of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address
falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
linear mapping if appropriate.
Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is
incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off
the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page.

mm: revert "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures"
Jiri Slaby reported the following:
(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd
had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning
and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
I would say, it's gone.
The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
compromise.
When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since
commit c654345924f7 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up
each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when
the patch was developed.
Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the
problem instead of fixing it. The release window gets closer and while
a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot
of CPU is.
This patch reverts commit 83fde0f22872 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of
pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be
revisited in the future.

memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
Call Trace:

__pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
...
The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.
I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.
