/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled by default, so it's necessary to
limit as much information as possible that it should emit.
The tasklist dump should be filtered to only those tasks that are eligible
for oom kill. This is already done for memcg ooms, but this patch extends
it to both cpuset and mempolicy ooms as well as init.
In addition to suppressing irrelevant information, this also reduces
confusion since users currently don't know which tasks in the tasklist
aren't eligible for kill (such as those attached to cpusets or bound to
mempolicies with a disjoint set of mems or nodes, respectively) since that
information is not shown.

Some Apple machines have identical DMI data but different memory
configurations for the video. Given that, check that the address in our
table is actually within the range of a PCI BAR on a VGA device in the
machine.
This also fixes up the return value from set_system(), which has always
been wrong, but never resulted in bad behavior since there's only ever
been one matching entry in the dmi table.
The patch
1) stops people's machines from crashing when we get their display wrong,
which seems to be unfortunately inevitable,
2) allows us to support identical dmi data with differing video memory
configurations
This also adds me as the efifb maintainer, since I've effectively been

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is
signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted
with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow
filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must
not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of
an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code
(restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could
have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 reclaim failure
At first impression, this seemed very strange because the above commit
only chenged function return value and hibernate_preallocate_memory()
ignore return value of shrink_all_memory(). But it's related.
Now, page allocation from hibernation code may enter infinite loop if the
system has highmem. The reasons are that vmscan don't care enough OOM
case when oom_killer_disabled.
The problem sequence is following as.
1. hibernation
2. oom_disable
3. alloc_pages
4. do_try_to_free_pages
if (scanning_global_lru(sc) && !all_unreclaimable)
return 1;
If kswapd is not freozen, it would set zone->all_unreclaimable to 1 and
then shrink_zones maybe return true(ie, all_unreclaimable is true). So at
last, alloc_pages could go to _nopage_. If it is, it should have no
problem.
This patch adds all_unreclaimable check to protect in direct reclaim path,
too. It can care of hibernation OOM case and help bailout
all_unreclaimable case slightly.

ARM needs to clip the dma coherent mask for dmabounce devices. This

Note that strictly speaking, the DMA API doesn't allow architectures to do

Commit 73296bc611 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore")
broke seeking on /proc/vmcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek
in order to restore the original behaviour.
The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual
file systems. We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some
day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore
is the safer solution.

A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap
compared to the system's capacity. The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with
the highest score chosen for kill. Thus, this scale operates on a
resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap. Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus,
so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example,
would still be 0.
It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to
exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than
0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks).
This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0
so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task
to kill.

cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path
Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via
utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes
(zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus
__mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied
against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a
good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes
in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem
inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these
inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so
far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi
points to a non-trivial backing device or not.
Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /.
There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this
filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0"
after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled
with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that
gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16".
Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO. Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.
This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.
Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

The "h->scatter_list" is allocated inside a for loop. If any of those
allocations fail, then the rest of the list is uninitialized data. When
we free it we should start from the top and free backwards so that we
don't call kfree() on uninitialized pointers.
Also if the allocation for "h->scatter_list" fails then we would get an
Oops here. I should have noticed this when I send: 4ee69851c "cciss:
handle allocation failure." but I didn't. Sorry about that.

If another cpu does a very wide munmap() on the signal frame area,
it can tear down the page table hierarchy from underneath us.
Borrow an idea from the 64-bit fault path's get_user_insn(), and
disable cross call interrupts during the page table traversal
to lock them in place while we operate.

pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and
last units assigned. This in turn is used to determine the span of a
chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to
the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys().
When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may
contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk. The logic to
determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused
unit at the end of a chunk. It failed to ignore the unused unit and
assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu.
This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by
malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible
CPUs by CAI Qian.

We used to have a hypercall which reloaded the entire GDT, then we
switched to one which loaded a single entry (to match the IDT code).
Some comments were not updated, so fix them.

A userspace could submit a buffer with 0 length to be written to the
host. Prevent such a situation.
This was not needed previously, but recent changes in the way write()
works exposed this condition to trigger a virtqueue event to the host,
causing a NULL buffer to be sent across.
