fe0da76731 xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems
noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as
the target is a 64 bit value.

We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting
the result when racing with another updating thread. We have
function to do this update safely without needing to care about
32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when
updating the AIL push target.

Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL
lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work
termination to close read holes as well.

50e86686df xfs: always push the AIL to the target
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems
discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and
the target itself.

The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target >
current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN <
current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target
is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get
pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot
be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the
push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving),
then we never run the push work again and we stall.

Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target
exactly are pushed during the loop.

9e7004e741 xfs: exit AIL push work correctly when AIL is empty
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. The main cause is a
regression where a work exit path fails to clear the PUSHING state
and recheck the target correctly.

Make both exit paths do the same PUSHING bit clearing and target
checking when the "no more work to be done" condition is hit.

228d62dd3f xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AG
On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing
without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be
triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit
x86 highmem machine.

The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not
getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup
found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim
attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable
inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the
AG.

Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker
simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result.

While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the
inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not
the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code
was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

7a7b94ad8c drm/nouveau: Fix a crash at card takedown for NV40 and older cards
NV40 and older cards (pre NV50) reserve a vram bo for the vga memory at
card init. This bo is then freed at card shutdown.  The problem is that
the ttm bo vram manager was already freed. So a crash occurs when the
vga bo is freed. The fix is to free the vga bo prior to freeing the ttm
bo vram manager. There might be other solutions but this seemed the
simplest to me.

That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which

I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can
just use this padding field.

925f83c085 hw_breakpoints, powerpc: Fix CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT off-case in ptrace_set_debugreg()
We make use of ptrace_get_breakpoints() / ptrace_put_breakpoints() to
protect ptrace_set_debugreg() even if CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT if off.
However in this case, these APIs are not implemented.

To fix this, push the protection down inside the relevant ifdef.
Best would be to export the code inside
CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT into a standalone function to cleanup
the ifdefury there and call the breakpoint ref API inside. But
as it is more invasive, this should be rather made in an -rc1.

Fixes this build error:

a1fde08c74 VM: skip the stack guard page lookup in get_user_pages only for mlock
The logic in __get_user_pages() used to skip the stack guard page lookup
whenever the caller wasn't interested in seeing what the actual page
was.  But Michel Lespinasse points out that there are cases where we
don't care about the physical page itself (so 'pages' may be NULL), but
do want to make sure a page is mapped into the virtual address space.

So using the existence of the "pages" array as an indication of whether
to look up the guard page or not isn't actually so great, and we really
should just use the FOLL_MLOCK bit.  But because that bit was only set
for the VM_LOCKED case (and not all vma's necessarily have it, even for
mlock()), we couldn't do that originally.

Fix that by moving the VM_LOCKED check deeper into the call-chain, which
actually simplifies many things.  Now mlock() gets simpler, and we can
also check for FOLL_MLOCK in __get_user_pages() and the code ends up
much more straightforward.

30106b8ce2 slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchg
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.

That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.

And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption.  Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.

This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun.  Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.

This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.

[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
  sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
  use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with.  So we should probably just remove
  the unprotected version entirely as pointless.   - Linus ]
