Subject: nilfs2: fix race condition that causes file system corruption
There is a race condition between nilfs_dirty_inode() and
nilfs_set_file_dirty().
When a file is opened, nilfs_dirty_inode() is called to update the access
timestamp in the inode. It calls __nilfs_mark_inode_dirty() in a separate
transaction. __nilfs_mark_inode_dirty() caches the ifile buffer_head in
the i_bh field of the inode info structure and marks it as dirty.
After some data was written to the file in another transaction, the
function nilfs_set_file_dirty() is called, which adds the inode to the
ns_dirty_files list.
Then the segment construction calls nilfs_segctor_collect_dirty_files(),
which goes through the ns_dirty_files list and checks the i_bh field. If
there is a cached buffer_head in i_bh it is not marked as dirty again.
Since nilfs_dirty_inode() and nilfs_set_file_dirty() use separate
transactions, it is possible that a segment construction that writes out
the ifile occurs in-between the two. If this happens the inode is not on
the ns_dirty_files list, but its ifile block is still marked as dirty and
written out.
In the next segment construction, the data for the file is written out and
nilfs_bmap_propagate() updates the b-tree. Eventually the bmap root is
written into the i_bh block, which is not dirty, because it was written
out in another segment construction.
As a result the bmap update can be lost, which leads to file system
corruption. Either the virtual block address points to an unallocated DAT
block, or the DAT entry will be reused for something different.
The error can remain undetected for a long time. A typical error message
would be one of the "bad btree" errors or a warning that a DAT entry could
not be found.
This bug can be reproduced reliably by a simple benchmark that creates and
overwrites millions of 4k files.

Subject: autofs: don't fail mount for transient error
Currently if the autofs kernel module gets an error when writing to the
pipe which links to the daemon, then it marks the whole moutpoint as
catatonic, and it will stop working.
It is possible that the error is transient. This can happen if the daemon
is slow and more than 16 requests queue up. If a subsequent process tries
to queue a request, and is then signalled, the write to the pipe will
return -ERESTARTSYS and autofs will take that as total failure.
So change the code to assess -ERESTARTSYS and -ENOMEM as transient
failures which only abort the current request, not the whole mountpoint.
It isn't a crash or a data corruption, but having autofs mountpoints
suddenly stop working is rather inconvenient.
Ian said:
: And given the problems with a half dozen (or so) user space applications
: consuming large amounts of CPU under heavy mount and umount activity this
: could happen more easily than we expect.

Subject: mm/z3fold.c: use kref to prevent page free/compact race
There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact()
called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's
kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is
released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto
the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies
its contents.
The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the
PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref
counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is
scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to
decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

A new field was introduced in 74d46992e0d9dee7f1f376de0d56d31614c8a17a,
bi_partno, instead of using bdev->bd_contains and encoding the partition
information in the bi_bdev field. __bio_clone_fast was changed to copy
the disk information, but not the partition information. At minimum,
this regressed bcache and caused data corruption.

Resending as the first attempt is not showing up in the list archive.
This patch converts several network drivers to use smp_rmb
rather than read_barrier_depends. The initial issue was
discovered with ixgbe on a Power machine which resulted
in skb list corruption due to fetching a stale skb pointer.
More details can be found in the ixgbe patch description.

Well, close, but not quite. The second patch there reverts the first
patch, and adds the "generic" work. As I already handled that in the
merge of the second patch, the first one is not needed, and the end
result should be the same.
So all is good. Or at least I think so, someone verifying I got this
all right would be appreciated :)

I just started noticing the AUTOSEL tags yesterday and I think that's
a great idea to tag patches, but was there any thought to also putting
something in the commit message this way they're easily identifiable
in the git logs? I think it would be useful if there was some metadata
in the commit message which identified that it was selected through
some automated system. That way if I find a regression and it
identifies one of these commits I can know that maybe it was chosen
incorrectly, and also would allow me to alert the owner of the
selection script to better help refine its selection process.
Otherwise I'd have to track back through the mailing lists to see how
it landed in the stable release.
Just a thought. Also, thank you for trying to improve the stable kernels!

I've cc'ed some folks in hopes to get this resolved upstream.
Either way, 4.1's EoL was previously moved to about 6 months from now,
so hopefully we'll have more than enough time to get this resolved.

The rps_resp buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't
explicitly cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be
overwritten with stale data from memory on non-coherent architectures.
As a result, the kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an
SATA device behind a SAS expander.
Fix this by ensuring that the rps_resp buffer is cacheline aligned.
This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f93 ("libata:
align ap->sector_buf") and Commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26 ("libata: Align
ata_device's id on a cacheline").

The patch titled
Subject: mm/page_ext.c: check if page_ext is not prepared
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_ext-check-if-page_ext-is-not-prepared.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jaewon Kim <jaewon31.kim(a)samsung.com>
Subject: mm/page_ext.c: check if page_ext is not prepared
online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each section,
but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn) or
!pfn_valid(pfn). Then section->page_ext remains as NULL. lookup_page_ext
checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. For a valid PFN,
__set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through lookup_page_ext.
Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse NULL pointer as value
0. This incurrs invalid address access.
This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN 0x13FC00
is being used for page_ext. section->page_ext is NULL, get_entry returned
invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN 0x13FC00.
To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext
will be checked at all times.

------------------------------------------------------
From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin(a)oracle.com>
Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation
In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not be
deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also pages
for reserved memory in this node.
The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical addresses,
and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit() assumes that
that this function operates with pfns, and returns page count.
The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected due
to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the worst
case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Huang Ying <huang.ying.caritas(a)gmail.com>
Subject: mm, swap: fix false error message in __swp_swapcount()
When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead
(not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries after
the fault swap entry. The readahead algorithm calculates some of the swap
entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the fault swap entry
without checking whether they are beyond the end of the swap device and it
relys on the __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare() to check it.
Although __swp_swapcount() checks for the swap entry passed in, it will
complain with the error message as follow for the expected invalid swap
entry. This may make the end users confused.
swap_info_get: Bad swap offset entry 0200f8a7
To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in
swapin_readahead() to avoid to pass the out-of-bound swap entries and the
swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare().
