2f43f8749e HID: remove Paul Walmsley's copyright from places where it shouldn't be
Paul Walmsley has implemented dynamic quirk handling back in 2007 through
commits:

2eb5dc30eb ("USB HID: encapsulate quirk handling into hid-quirks.c")
8222fbe67c ("USB HID: clarify static quirk handling as squirks")
8cef908235 ("USB HID: add support for dynamically-created quirks")
876b9276b9 ("USB HID: add 'quirks' module parameter")

and as such, his copyright rightly belongs to
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c file.

However when generic HID code has been converted to bus and individual
quirks separated out to individual drivers on the bus, the copyright has
been blindly transfered into all the tiny drivers, which actually don't
contain any of Pauls' copyrighted code.

Remove the copyright from those sub-drivers.

6dbea04417 HID: Remove "default m" from HID_LOGITECH_DJ
HID_LOGITECH_DJ uses "default m", which enables it in default kernel
builds.  Since this module just enables extra, non-critical
functionality for one particular piece of hardware (specifically,
differentiating multiple wireless keyboards and mice as separate input
devices rather than treating them as one device), and the hardware works
just fine with the default USB HID support, drop the "default m".

d8636a2717 fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer (v1.1)
So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
days to finding the problem.

Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
message and that was all.

So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.

Thread A (driver load)    Thread B (timer thread)

  bind_con_driver ->                |

Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active

Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms

Pull networking update from David Miller:
 "A couple weeks of bug fixing in there.  The largest chunk is all the
  broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer."

 1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs:
    a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held
    b) interfaces requiring interrupts disabled are called with them
       enabled
    c) and vice versa
    d) VLAN tag demuxing, as per all other RX packet input paths, is not
       applied

    All from Amerigo Wang.

 2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for
    good, from Neal Cardwell.

 3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials
    when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg().
    Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
    definitely not what we want.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

 4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix
    from Ben Hutchings.

 5) inet_csk_route_child_sock() checks wrong inet options pointer, fix
    from Christoph Paasch.

 6) When AF_PACKET is used for transmit, packet loopback doesn't behave
    properly when a socket fanout is enabled, from Eric Leblond.

 7) On bluetooth l2cap channel create failure, we leak the socket, from
    Jaganath Kanakkassery.

 8) Fix all the netprio file handling bugs found by Al Viro, from John
    Fastabend.

 9) Several error return and NULL deref bug fixes in networking drivers
    from Julia Lawall.

10) A large smattering of struct padding et al.  kernel memory leaks to
    userspace found of Mathias Krause.

11) Conntrack expections in netfilter can access an uninitialized timer,
    fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

12) Several netfilter SIP tracker bug fixes from Patrick McHardy.

13) IPSEC ipv6 routes are not initialized correctly all the time,
    resulting in an OOPS in inet_putpeer().  Also from Patrick McHardy.

14) Bridging does rcu_dereference() outside of RCU protected area, from
    Stephen Hemminger.

c67fe3752a mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long
Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;

	The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
	running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
	are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
	Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
	backed by 12 of these servers.

Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.

This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

de74f1cc3b mm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages
Commit 7db8889ab0 ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free
page scanner does in compaction.  However, it has a problem.  Consider
two process simultaneously scanning free pages

					    			C
	Process A		M     S     			F
			|---------------------------------------|
	Process B		M 	FS

	C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn
	S is cc->start_pfree_pfn
	M is cc->migrate_pfn
	F is cc->free_pfn

In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped
around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly.

Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates
compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner.

Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check

                if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped ||
                                      zone->compact_cached_free_pfn >
                                      cc->start_free_pfn))
                        pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn);

compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner
skips almost the entire space it should have scanned.  When there are
multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire
zone is not being scanned at all.  Further, it is possible for two
processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just
random.

Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates.

There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new
locking and state so this patch takes a different approach.

First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it
matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with
racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not.

Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of
circumstances.

If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end
	of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates
	compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it
	can isolate pages from.

If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it
	checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the
	zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest
	pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not
	be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets
	compact_cached_free_pfn.

This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn
will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

7dbfb315b2 drivers/rtc/rtc-rs5c348.c: fix hour decoding in 12-hour mode
Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the
modulo 12.

[ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did.

  Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly -
  included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define.  So it's really subtracting
  out that bit to get "hour+12".  But then because it does things modulo
  12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway.

  This code is confused.  It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK
  just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't
  need to do the silly subtract either.

  Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same.   - Linus ]

b121186ab1 mm: correct page->pfmemalloc to fix deactivate_slab regression
Commit cfd19c5a9e ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc
setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.

So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
cause incorrect deactivate_slab() on our core2 server:

    64.73%           fio  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] _raw_spin_lock
                     |
                     --- _raw_spin_lock
                        |
                        |---0.34%-- deactivate_slab
                        |          __slab_alloc
                        |          kmem_cache_alloc
                        |          |

That causes our fio sync write performance to have a 40% regression.

Move the checking in get_page_from_freelist() which resolves this issue.

7838f994b4 drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c: SGI XPC fails to load when cpu 0 is out of IRQ resources
On many of our larger systems, CPU 0 has had all of its IRQ resources
consumed before XPC loads.  Worst cases on machines with multiple 10
GigE cards and multiple IB cards have depleted the entire first socket
of IRQs.

This patch makes selecting the node upon which IRQs are allocated (as
well as all the other GRU Message Queue structures) specifiable as a
module load param and has a default behavior of searching all nodes/cpus
for an available resources.

ac8e97f8a7 checkpatch: add control statement test to SINGLE_STATEMENT_DO_WHILE_MACRO
Commit b13edf7ff2 ("checkpatch: add checks for do {} while (0) macro
misuses") added a test that is overly simplistic for single statement
macros.

Macros that start with control tests should be enclosed in a do {} while
(0) loop.

Add the necessary control tests to the check.

eb48c07146 mm: hugetlbfs: correctly populate shared pmd
Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:

  parent
    |
    ------------>pmd
                 src_pte----------> data page
                                        ^
  other--------->pmd--------------------|
                  ^
  child-----------|
                 dst_pte

For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
possible due to the following style of race.

  PROC A                                          PROC B
  copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing

  (time passes)

  hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
      huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
        LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
        find nothing, no sharing
        UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      find nothing, no sharing
                                                      UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
      pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
      LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      fault
      UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  fault
                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.
