From: Moritz Fischer <mdf(a)kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 453d0744f6c6ca3f9749b8c57c2e85b5b9f52514 ]
The issue is that the internal counter that triggers the watchdog reset
is actually running at 4096 Hz instead of 1Hz, therefore the value
given by userland (in sec) needs to be multiplied by 4096 to get the
correct behavior.

Subject: rtc: cmos: Do not assume irq 8 for rtc when there are no legacy irqs
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede(a)redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit a1e23a42f1bdc00e32fc4869caef12e4e6272f26 ]
On some systems (e.g. Intel Bay Trail systems) the legacy PIC is not
used, in this case virq 8 will be a random irq, rather then hw_irq 8
from the PIC.
Requesting virq 8 in this case will not help us to get alarm irqs and
may cause problems for other drivers which actually do need virq 8,
for example on an Asus Transformer T100TA this leads to:
[ 28.745155] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000088 (mmc0) vs. 00000080 (rtc0)
<snip oops>
[ 28.753700] mmc0: Failed to request IRQ 8: -16
[ 28.975934] sdhci-acpi: probe of 80860F14:01 failed with error -16
This commit fixes this by making the rtc-cmos driver continue
without using an irq rather then claiming irq 8 when no irq is
specified in the pnp-info and there are no legacy-irqs.

Subject: dm: ensure bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk
From: NeilBrown <neilb(a)suse.com>
[ Upstream commit 18a25da84354c6bb655320de6072c00eda6eb602 ]
A dm device can, in general, represent a tree of targets, each of which
handles a sub-range of the range of blocks handled by the parent.
The bio sequencing managed by generic_make_request() requires that bios
are generated and handled in a depth-first manner. Each call to a
make_request_fn() may submit bios to a single member device, and may
submit bios for a reduced region of the same device as the
make_request_fn.
In particular, any bios submitted to member devices must be expected to
be processed in order, so a later one must never wait for an earlier
one.
This ordering is usually achieved by using bio_split() to reduce a bio
to a size that can be completely handled by one target, and resubmitting
the remainder to the originating device. bio_queue_split() shows the
canonical approach.
dm doesn't follow this approach, largely because it has needed to split
bios since long before bio_split() was available. It currently can
submit bios to separate targets within the one dm_make_request() call.
Dependencies between these targets, as can happen with dm-snap, can
cause deadlocks if either bios gets stuck behind the other in the queues
managed by generic_make_request(). This requires the 'rescue'
functionality provided by dm_offload_{start,end}.
Some of this requirement can be removed by changing the order of bio
submission to follow the canonical approach. That is, if dm finds that
it needs to split a bio, the remainder should be sent to
generic_make_request() rather than being handled immediately. This
delays the handling until the first part is completely processed, so the
deadlock problems do not occur.
__split_and_process_bio() can be called both from dm_make_request() and
from dm_wq_work(). When called from dm_wq_work() the current approach
is perfectly satisfactory as each bio will be processed immediately.
When called from dm_make_request(), current->bio_list will be non-NULL,
and in this case it is best to create a separate "clone" bio for the
remainder.
When we use bio_clone_bioset() to split off the front part of a bio
and chain the two together and submit the remainder to
generic_make_request(), it is important that the newly allocated
bio is used as the head to be processed immediately, and the original
bio gets "bio_advance()"d and sent to generic_make_request() as the
remainder. Otherwise, if the newly allocated bio is used as the
remainder, and if it then needs to be split again, then the next
bio_clone_bioset() call will be made while holding a reference a bio
(result of the first clone) from the same bioset. This can potentially
exhaust the bioset mempool and result in a memory allocation deadlock.
Note that there is no race caused by reassigning cio.io->bio after already
calling __map_bio(). This bio will only be dereferenced again after
dec_pending() has found io->io_count to be zero, and this cannot happen
before the dec_pending() call at the end of __split_and_process_bio().
To provide the clone bio when splitting, we use q->bio_split. This
was previously being freed by bio-based dm to avoid having excess
rescuer threads. As bio_split bio sets no longer create rescuer
threads, there is little cost and much gain from restoring the
q->bio_split bio set.

Subject: pty: cancel pty slave port buf's work in tty_release
From: Sahara <keun-o.park(a)darkmatter.ae>
[ Upstream commit 2b022ab7542df60021ab57854b3faaaf42552eaf ]
In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty->link->port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty->link->port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.
