As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch

alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these

cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage
Commit
f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)
does the following:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With
f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

ov7670: clean up ov7670_read semantics
Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from
ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0. This made me
realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills
in 'value' with the result, and returns it. This is goes against general
kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function.
This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon
success. Thus, code like:
res = ov7670_read(...);
if (!res)
goto error;

fbdev: bugfix for multiprocess defio
This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating
the same framebuffer.
Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.
It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

[SCSI] bsg: fix oops on remove
If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

Fix reference counting race on log buffers
When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.
But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang.
Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with

tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state
The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.
The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

ipv4: fib_trie: Fix lookup error return
In commit
a07f5f508a4d9728c8e57d7f66294bf5b254ff7f "[IPV4] fib_trie: style
cleanup", the changes to check_leaf() and fn_trie_lookup() were wrong - where
fn_trie_lookup() would previously return a negative error value from
check_leaf(), it now returns 0.
Now fn_trie_lookup() doesn't appear to care about plen, so we can revert
check_leaf() to returning the error value.

and analyzed it:
"The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:
mov %edx,%ecx
shr $0x2,%ecx
rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault
So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)
%ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:
memset(object, 0, c->objsize);
i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...
c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU
PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.
With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in
free-before-grace bugs.
Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).
