sched: rt-group: deal with PI
Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.
Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.
If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.
This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
- second prio array for boosted tasks
- boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)

mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem.
Some background:
numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.
A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.
NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.
mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.
In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.
Proposed fix:
1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees
that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.
NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be
silently ignored, rather than returning an error.
c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
and remove contextualize_policy().
2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty"
b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask
contains at least one node.
c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty
and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
Return EINVAL.
c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes
3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
policy from mpol_new().
4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this
restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.
[ Patch history:
v1 -> v2:
- Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
- As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h
v2 -> v3:
- As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy(). Looks a little
cleaner. ]

Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()
So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely

2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and
awaits the callback

4) client1 releases the lock

30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and

unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times

hrtimer: don't modify restart_block->fn in restart functions
hrtimer_nanosleep_restart() clears/restores restart_block->fn. This is
pointless and complicates its usage. Note that if sys_restart_syscall()
doesn't actually happen, we have a bogus "pending" restart->fn anyway,
this is harmless.

hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.
hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.
clocksource initialization and error accumulation. This corrects a 280ppm
drift seen on some systems using acpi_pm, and affects other clocksources as
well (likely to a lesser degree).

[NET_SCHED] sch_htb: htb_requeue fix
htb_requeue() enqueues skbs for which htb_classify() returns NULL.
This is wrong because such skbs could be handled by NET_CLS_ACT code,
and the decision could be different than earlier in htb_enqueue().
So htb_requeue() is changed to work and look more like htb_enqueue().

checkcard() are the only user of hisax_cs_setup_card().
And checkcard is only used during init or when hot plugging
ISDN devices. So annotate hisax_cs_setup_card() with __devinit.
checkcard() is used by exported functions so it cannot be
annotated __devinit. Annotate it with __ref so modpost

ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystem
This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem"
marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development"
will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not
considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is
not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem.
As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes
it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a
production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it
be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.
