      cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage

commit 3e84050c81ffb4961ef43d20e1fb1d7607167d83
Author: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko at gmail.com>

    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.

    cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly
    
    The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
    (since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
    to compile with this error:
    
    error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function
    
    The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
    within it, and that expands into a function macro.  We need to use
    __constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

    cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
    
    Try this:
    
        mount a share with unix extensions
        create a file on it
        umount the share
    
    You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:
    
    VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
    nice day...
    
    ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
    a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
    lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
    inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
    caused by commit 0e4bbde94fdc33f5b3d793166b21bf768ca3e098.
    
    The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
    formatting nit as well.

    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;
    
    ..will work properly.

    serial8250: sanity check nr_uarts on all paths.
    
    I had 8250.nr_uarts=16 in the boot line of a test kernel and I had a weird
    mysterious crash in sysfs.  After taking an in-depth look I realized that
    CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to 4 and I was walking off the end of
    the serial8250_ports array.

    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.

    There looks to be a small leak in isdn_writebuf_stub() in isdn_common.c, when

    [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.

    [SCSI] fusion: default MSI to disabled for SPI and FC controllers
    
    There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond
    correctly to MSI.  The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be
    onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so
    default both these cases to disabled.  Enable by setting the module
    parameter mpt_msi_enable=1.
    
    For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by
    setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.

    [PATCH] IPMI: return correct value from ipmi_write
    
    This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog
    to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually
    processed. Without this patch, an "echo V >/dev/watchdog" enables the
    watchdog if IPMI is providing the watchdog function.

    [SCSI] ipr: Fix HDIO_GET_IDENTITY oops for SATA devices
    
    Currently, ipr does not support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY to SATA devices.
    An oops occurs if userspace attempts to send the command. Since hald
    issues the command, ensure we fail the ioctl in ipr. This is a
    temporary solution to the oops. Once the ipr libata EH conversion
    is upstream, ipr will fully support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY.

    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
    atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

    libata-acpi: filter out DIPM enable
    
    Some BIOSen enable DIPM via _GTF which causes command timeouts under
    certain configuration.  This didn't occur on 2.6.25 because 2.6.25
    defaulted to SRST, so _GTF wasn't executed during boot probe, so ahci
    host reset disabled DIPM and as _GTF wasn't executed after SRST, DIPM
    wasn't enabled.  On 2.6.26, hardreset is used during probe and after
    probe _GTF is executed enabling DIPM and thus the failures.
    
    This patch could theoretically disable DIPM on machines which used to
    have it enabled on 2.6.25 but AFAIK ahci is currently the only driver
    which uses SATA ACPI hierarchy (_SDD) and as the host reset would have
    always disabled DIPM, this shouldn't happen.

    rtc: fix reported IRQ rate for when HPET is enabled
    
    The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when HPET is enabled.
    
    Newer hardware that has HPET to emulate the legacy RTC device gets this value
    wrong since after it sets the rate, it returns before setting the variable
    used to report the IRQ rate back to users of the device -- so the set rate and
    the reported rate get out of sync.

    [SCSI] mptspi: fix oops in mptspi_dv_renegotiate_work()
    
    The problem here is that if the ioc faults too early in the bring up
    sequence (as it usually does for an irq routing problem), ioc_reset gets
    called before the scsi host is even allocated.  This causes an oops when
    it later schedules a renegotiation.  Fix this by checking ioc->sh before
    trying to renegotiate.

    [SCSI] erase invalid data returned by device
    
    This patch (as1108) fixes a problem that can occur with certain USB
    mass-storage devices: They return invalid data together with a residue
    indicating that the data should be ignored.  Rather than leave the
    invalid data in a transfer buffer, where it can get misinterpreted,
    the patch clears the invalid portion of the buffer.
    
    This solves a problem (wrong write-protect setting detected) reported
    by Maciej Rutecki and Peter Teoh.
