[S390] Optimize storage key operations for anon pages
For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.

kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write

to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.
This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the

[PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Fix race between mount and recovery
As the fs recovery is asynchronous, there is a small chance that another
node can mount (and thus recover) the slot before the recovery thread
gets to it.
If this happens, the recovery thread will block indefinitely on the
journal/slot lock as that lock will be held for the duration of the mount
(by design) by the node assigned to that slot.
The solution implemented is to keep track of the journal replays using
a recovery generation in the journal inode, which will be incremented by the
thread replaying that journal. The recovery thread, before attempting the
blocking lock on the journal/slot lock, will compare the generation on disk
with what it has cached and skip recovery if it does not match.
This bug appears to have been inadvertently introduced during the mount/umount
vote removal by mainline commit 34d024f84345807bf44163fac84e921513dde323. In the
mount voting scheme, the messaging would indirectly indicate that the slot
was being recovered.

configfs is safe to reference the item.
If the item and the subsystem it belongs to are part of the same module,
the subsystem is also pinned. This is the common case.
However, if the subsystem is made up of multiple modules, this may not

2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them,
which may probably confuse VFS.
This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before
building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole
group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing
CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING.
mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if
called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This
does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories,
but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to |
read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In
other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until
the new item creation completes correctly.
It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new
flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the
target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching
a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached.
2/ is fixed by next commit.

[PATCH] configfs: Fix failing symlink() making rmdir() fail
On a similar pattern as mkdir() vs rmdir(), a failing symlink() may make rmdir()
fail for the symlink's parent and the symlink's target as well.
failing symlink() making target's rmdir() fail:
process 1: process 2:
symlink("A/S" -> "B")
allow_link()
create_link()
attach to "B" links list
rmdir("B")
detach_prep("B")
error because of new link
configfs_create_link("A", "S")
error (eg -ENOMEM)
failing symlink() making parent's rmdir() fail:
process 1: process 2:
symlink("A/D/S" -> "B")
allow_link()
create_link()
attach to "B" links list
configfs_create_link("A/D", "S")
make_dirent("A/D", "S")
rmdir("A")
detach_prep("A")
detach_prep("A/D")
error because of "S"
create("S")
error (eg -ENOMEM)
We cannot use the same solution as for mkdir() vs rmdir(), since rmdir() on the
target cannot wait on the i_mutex of the new symlink's parent without risking a
deadlock (with other symlink() or sys_rename()). Instead we define a global
mutex protecting all configfs symlinks attachment, so that rmdir() can avoid the
races above.

[PATCH] configfs: Fix symlink() to a removing item
The rule for configfs symlinks is that symlinks always point to valid
config_items, and prevent the target from being removed. However,
configfs_symlink() only checks that it can grab a reference on the target item,
without ensuring that it remains alive until the symlink is correctly attached.
This patch makes configfs_symlink() fail whenever the target is being removed,
using the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag set by configfs_detach_prep() and
protected by configfs_dirent_lock.
This patch introduces a similar (weird?) behavior as with mkdir failures making
rmdir fail: if symlink() races with rmdir() of the parent directory (or its
youngest user-created ancestor if parent is a default group) or rmdir() of the
target directory, and then fails in configfs_create(), this can make the racing
rmdir() fail despite the concerned directory having no user-created entry (resp.
no symlink pointing to it or one of its default groups) in the end.
This behavior is fixed in later patches.

kbuild: genksyms parser: fix the __attribute__ rule
We are having two kinds of problems with genksyms today: fake checksum
changes without actual ABI changes, and changes which we would rather like
to ignore (such as an additional field at the end of a structure that
modules are not supposed to touch, for example).
I have thought about ways to improve genksyms and compute checksums
differently to avoid those problems, but in the end I don't see a
fundamentally better way. So here are some genksyms patches for at least
making the checksums more easily manageable, if we cannot fully fix them.
In addition to the bugfixes (the first two patches), this allows genksyms
to track checksum changes and report why a checksum changed (third patch),
and to selectively ignore changes (fourth patch).
This patch:
Gcc __attribute__ definitions may occur repeatedly, e.g.,
static int foo __attribute__((__used__))
__attribute__((aligned (16)));
The genksyms parser does not understand this, and generates a syntax error.
Fix this case.

netfilter: ipt_recent: fix race between recent_mt_destroy and proc manipulations
The thing is that recent_mt_destroy first flushes the entries
from table with the recent_table_flush and only *after* this
removes the proc file, corresponding to that table.
Thus, if we manage to write to this file the '+XXX' command we
will leak some entries. If we manage to write there a 'clean'
command we'll race in two recent_table_flush flows, since the
recent_mt_destroy calls this outside the recent_lock.
The proper solution as I see it is to remove the proc file first
and then go on with flushing the table. This flushing becomes
safe w/o the lock, since the table is already inaccessible from
the outside.

bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)
When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses
the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But
when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through
the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated.
However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this
situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame
size, and the same problem will occur again.
Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent
via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored
in its net_bridge structure.

either negate oparg explicitly (frv, ia64, mips, sh, x86),
or do so indirectly by using an and-not instruction (powerpc).
Since sparc64 has and-not, I chose to use that solution.

is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.
