This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

fs/block_dev.c: fix performance regression in O_DIRECT|O_SYNC writes to block devices
We are seeing a large regression in database performance on recent
kernels. The database opens a block device with O_DIRECT|O_SYNC and a
number of threads write to different regions of the file at the same time.
A simple test case is below. I haven't defined DEVICE since getting it
wrong will destroy your data :) On an 3 disk LVM with a 64k chunk size we
see about 17MB/sec and only a few threads in IO wait:
procs -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------
r b bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
0 3 0 16170 656 2259 0 0 86 14 0
0 2 0 16704 695 2408 0 0 92 8 0
0 2 0 17308 744 2653 0 0 86 14 0
0 2 0 17933 759 2777 0 0 89 10 0
Most threads are blocking in vfs_fsync_range, which has:
mutex_lock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
err = fop->fsync(file, dentry, datasync);
if (!ret)
ret = err;
mutex_unlock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) offers
some explanation of what is going on:
Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.
Thanks Jan for such a good commit message! As well as dropping i_mutex,
Christoph suggests we should remove the call to sync_blockdev():
> sync_blockdev is an overcomplicated alias for filemap_write_and_wait on
> the block device inode, which is exactly what we did just before calling
> into ->fsync
The patch below incorporates both suggestions. With it the testcase improves
from 17MB/s to 68M/sec:

lib: fix the use of LZO to decompress initramfs images
This patch fixes 2 issues with the LZO decompressor:
- It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all. In
this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just
use memcpy() instead (the upstream LZO code does something similar)
- Since commit 54291362d2a5738e1b0495df2abcb9e6b0563a3f ("initramfs: add
missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is
checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the
expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a
decompression error occured
hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages
If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.
This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

drivers/video/efifb.c: support framebuffer for NVIDIA 9400M in MacBook Pro 5,1
Description of patch:
---------------------
This is a patch for the EFI framebuffer driver to enable the framebuffer
of the NVIDIA 9400M as found in MacBook Pro (MBP) 5,1 and up. The
framebuffer of the NVIDIA graphic cards are located at the following
addresses in memory:
9400M: 0xC0010000
9600M GT: 0xB0030000
The patch delivered right here only provides the memory location of the
framebuffer of the 9400M device. The 9600M GT is not covered. It is
assumed that the 9400M is used when powered up the MBP.
The information which device is currently powered and in use is stored in
the 64 bytes large EFI variable "gpu-power-prefs". More specifically,
byte 0x3B indicates whether 9600M GT (0x00) or 9400M (0x01) is online.
The PCI bus IDs are the following:
9400M: PCI 03:00:00
9600M GT: PCI 02:00:00
The EFI variables can be easily read-out and manipulated with "rEFIt", an
MBP specific bootloader tool. For more information on how handle rEFIt
and EFI variables please consult "http://refit.sourceforge.net" and
"http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1076879.html".
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information on how to activate the 9400M device given
at "ubuntuforums.org" is not correct, since it states
Actually, the assignment of the values and the PCI bus IDs are swapped.
Suggestions:
------------
To cover framebuffers of both 9400M and 9600M GT, I would suggest to
implement a conditional on "gpu-power-prefs". Depending on the value of
byte 0x3B, the according framebuffer is selected. However, this requires
kernel access to the EFI variables.

attributes are replaced with a smaller value.
The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved
from before the write to after the write.
The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered
over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded
again while the xattr was written.
The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost.

reiserfs: fix permissions on .reiserfs_priv
Commit 677c9b2e393a0cd203bd54e9c18b012b2c73305a ("reiserfs: remove
privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide
the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time
instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via
a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty.
This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and
modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including
root.
This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was
the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never
worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of
d_compare.
This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way.
The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and
caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.

call usb_autopm_get_interface() or usb_autopm_put_interface() for
runtime PM to work. Runtime PM can be controlled by the driver's
primary interface; the additional interfaces it claims shouldn't
interfere. As things stand, the claimed interfaces will prevent the
device from autosuspending.
To fix this problem, the patch sets interfaces to the suspended state
when they are claimed.
Also, although in theory this shouldn't matter, the patch changes the
suspend code so that interfaces are suspended in reverse order from
detection and resuming. This is how the PM core works, and we ought
to use the same approach.

this instruction is required for reliable interrupt and sequence number
reporting in the driver.
So add support for this instruction, including workarounds, on Ironlake
and Sandy Bridge hardware.

[S390] zcore: Fix reipl device detection
The reipl device information is passed from the kernel to zfcpdump
using a pointer in the lowcore (0xe00) that points to the reipl
information Currently if that pointer is not zero, we copy the reipl
information. If the pointer is not initialized and points outside
the accessible memory, it can happen that the memory copy fails.
In that case we currently stop the initialization of zcore which leads
to a failing kernel dump. The correct behavior is to disable the reipl
after dump and continue with zcore intialization.

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711e)
introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter
contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier.
The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used
the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime()
variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in
commit 0696b711e.
Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso
implementation and use it for time calculations.

CRED: Fix a race in creds_are_invalid() in credentials debugging
creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look
like:

attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending

This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.
