There is a problem in the hibernation code that triggers on some NUMA

belong to any zone. Namely, there is a BUG_ON() in
memory_bm_find_bit() that triggers for PFNs not belonging to any
zone and passing the pfn_valid() test. On the affected systems it
triggers when we mark PFNs reported by the platform as not saveable,
because the PFNs in question belong to a region mapped directly using
iorepam() (i.e. the ACPI data area) and they pass the pfn_valid()

Modify memory_bm_find_bit() so that it returns an error if given PFN
doesn't belong to any zone instead of crashing the kernel and ignore
the result returned by it in mark_nosave_pages(), while marking the
"nosave" memory regions.
This doesn't affect the hibernation functionality, as we won't touch

IPoIB: Don't drop multicast sends when they can be queued
When set_multicast_list() is called the multicast task is restarted
and the IPOIB_MCAST_STARTED bit is cleared. As a result for some
window of time, multicast packets are not transmitted nor queued but
rather dropped by ipoib_mcast_send(). These dropped packets are
painful in two cases:
- bonding fail-over which both calls set_multicast_list() on the new
active slave and sends Gratuitous ARP through that slave.
- IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP code which both calls set_multicast_list() on the
device and issues IGMP leave.
In both these cases, depending on the scheduling of the IPoIB
multicast task, the packets would be dropped. As a result, in the
bonding case, the failover would not be detected by the peers until
their neighbour is renewed the neighbour (which takes a few tens of
seconds). In the IGMP case, the IP router doesn't get an IGMP leave
and would only learn on that from further probes on the group (also a
delay of at least a few tens of seconds).

x86: ia32 syscall restart fix
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

| acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()
reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.
But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
break the bootup?
After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:
- pci_id->bus = tu8;
+ pci_id->bus = val;
pci_id->bus is defined as u16:
struct acpi_pci_id {
u16 segment;
u16 bus;
...
and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
(raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.
But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
rest of ACPI.
So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):
Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
*value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.
The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:
which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
it.
So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses were buggy.

iov_iter_advance() fix
iov_iter_advance() skips over zero-length iovecs, however it does not properly
terminate at the end of the iovec array. Fix this by checking against
i->count before we skip a zero-length iov.
The bug was reproduced with a test program that continually randomly creates
iovs to writev. The fix was also verified with the same program and also it
could verify that the correct data was contained in the file after each
writev.

rcu: move PREEMPT_RCU config option back under PREEMPT
The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.
This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

modules: warn about suspicious return values from module's ->init() hook
Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes,
e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created,
where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up
to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created
workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was
successfully loaded.
Or it could be some other bug.
Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such
messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions.
Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample
message:
sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention
sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

modules: fix module waiting for dependent modules' init
Commit c9a3ba55 (module: wait for dependent modules doing init.) didn't quite
work because the waiter holds the module lock, meaning that the state of the
module it's waiting for cannot change.
Fortunately, it's fairly simple to update the state outside the lock and do
the wakeup.
Thanks to Jan Glauber for tracking this down and testing (qdio and qeth).

hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.
This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.
Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the

One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly

mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.
