not in its first loop that does almost all the work: add them there too.

aio: fix race between io_destroy() and io_submit()
A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():

io_submit()

ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);
io_destroy()
Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.

queue new AIO
put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs
We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if !__GFP_REPEAT
should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.
This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.
Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:
if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
return false;
A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced. order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant. THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.
Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from. The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.
Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.
Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.
Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.
The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

drivers/nfc/pn544.c: add missing regulator
The regulator framework is used for power management. The regulators are

The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not -
depending on the architecture where the chip is being used. So some of
the regulators may not be controllable. In our current case the third
regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we
didn't need to control it. To be as general as possible - in this respect
- the driver needs to list all regulators. Then the board file can be
used to actually set the usage.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures
In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.
The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
int main(void) {
int e1, e2, p[2];
struct epoll_event evt = {
.events = EPOLLIN
};
e1 = epoll_create(1);
e2 = epoll_create(2);
pipe(p);
epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
return 0;
}
On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

and
f3b99be19ded511a1bf05a148276239d9f13eefa
When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'. It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.
So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.
Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.
Without this patch, a sequence of:
mknod / open / close / unlink
(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.
With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.

Fix over-zealous flush_disk when changing device size.
There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.
In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.
In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.
flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.
invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.
invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.
So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.
flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.
dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.
md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.
This regression was introduced by commit
608aeef17a which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.

mm: fix possible cause of a page_mapped BUG
Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching

cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().
Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.
But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.
We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,

mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode
Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]

drm/i915: fix corruptions on i8xx due to relaxed fencing
It looks like gen2 has a peculiar interleaved 2-row inter-tile
layout. Probably inherited from i81x which had 2kb tiles (which
naturally fit an even-number-of-tile-rows scheme to fit onto 4kb
pages). There is no other mention of this in any docs (also not
in the Intel internal documention according to Chris Wilson).
Problem manifests itself in corruptions in the second half of the
last tile row (if the bo has an odd number of tiles). Which can
only happen with relaxed tiling (introduced in
a00b10c360b35d6431a9).
So reject set_tiling calls that don't satisfy this constrain to
prevent broken userspace from causing havoc. While at it, also
check the size for newer chipsets.

all other settings will change (see Davicom spec and example code).
Remember, that register DM9000_GPR was not changed by reset sequence.
Without this fix the FIFO is out of sync and sends wrong data after
sequence of "ifconfig ethX down ; ifconfig ethX up".

Input: serio/gameport - use 'long' system workqueue
Commit
8ee294cd9def0004887da7f44b80563493b0a097 converted serio
subsystem event handling from using a dedicated thread to using
common workqueue. Unfortunately, this regressed our boot times,
due to the fact that serio jobs take long time to execute. While
the new concurrency managed workqueue code manages long-playing
works just fine and schedules additional workers as needed, such
works wreck havoc among remaining users of flush_scheduled_work().
To solve this problem let's move serio/gameport works from system_wq
to system_long_wq which nobody tries to flush.

i2c-omap: fix static suspend vs. runtime suspend
When runtime PM is enabled, each OMAP i2c device is suspended after
each i2c xfer. However, there are two cases when the static suspend
methods must be used to ensure the devices are suspended:
1) runtime PM is disabled, either at compile time or dynamically
via /sys/devices/.../power/control.
2) an i2c client driver uses i2c during it's suspend callback, thus
leaving the i2c driver active (NOTE: runtime suspend transitions are
disabled during system suspend, so i2c activity during system
suspend will runtime resume the device, but not runtime (re)suspend it.)
Since the actual work to suspend the device is handled by the
subsytem, call the bus methods to take care of it.
NOTE: This takes care of a known suspend problem on OMAP3 where the
TWL RTC driver does i2c xfers during its suspend path leaving the i2c
driver in an active state (since runtime suspend transistions are
disabled.)

For this, it uses :: as its source address - however RFC 2710 requires:

drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially
The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.
If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.
A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
result in a bright enough screen.
IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.
