Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased
between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from
do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.

SCHEDULER: Autogroup patch group by current user android UID instead of task ID
irq: Set CPU affinity as soon as the irq thread is created

In an embedded target where IRQ affinities are pre-configured during
boot-time (and not modified through /proc/irq/../smp_affinity) during
run-time, the extra latency due to irq_thread_check_affinity can be
avoided during processing of the first interrupt with this patch.
Thoughts?

ARM: smp: Fix cpu_up() racing with sys_reboot

Nothing stops a process from hotplugging in a CPU concurrently
with a sys_reboot() call. In such a situation we could have
ipi_cpu_stop() mark a cpu as 'offline' and _cpu_up() ignore the
fact that the CPU is not really offline and call the
CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier. When this happens stop_machine code will
complain that the cpu thread already exists and BUG_ON().

CPU0                      CPU1

sys_reboot()
 kernel_restart()
  machine_restart()
   machine_shutdown()
    smp_send_stop()
    ...                   ipi_cpu_stop()
                           set_cpu_online(1, false)
                            local_irq_disable()
                             while(1)
    <PREEMPT>
cpu_up()
 _cpu_up()
   if (!cpu_online(1))
    __cpu_notify(CPU_UP_PREPARE...)
cpu_stop_cpu_callback()
  BUG_ON(stopper->thread)

This is easily reproducible by hotplugging in and out in a tight
loop while also rebooting.

Since the CPU is not really offline and hasn't gone through the
proper steps to be marked as such, let's mark the CPU as inactive.
This is just as easily testable as online and avoids any possibility
of _cpu_up() trying to bring the CPU back online when it never was
offline to begin with.

mm: bugfix: set current->reclaim_state to NULL while returning from kswapd()

commit b0a8cc58e6b9aaae3045752059e5e6260c0b94bc upstream.

In kswapd(), set current->reclaim_state to NULL before returning, as
current->reclaim_state holds reference to variable on kswapd()'s stack.

In rare cases, while returning from kswapd() during memory offlining,
__free_slab() and freepages() can access the dangling pointer of
current->reclaim_state.

crypto: cryptd - disable softirqs in cryptd_queue_worker to prevent data corruption

commit 9efade1b3e981f5064f9db9ca971b4dc7557ae42 upstream.

cryptd_queue_worker attempts to prevent simultaneous accesses to crypto
workqueue by cryptd_enqueue_request using preempt_disable/preempt_enable.
However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from softirq context,
so add local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable to prevent data corruption and
panics.

When MCLK is supplied externally and BCLK and LRC are configured as outputs
(codec is master), the PLL values are only calculated correctly on the first
transmission.  On subsequent transmissions, at differenct sample rates, the
wrong PLL values are used.  Test for f_opclk instead of f_pllout to determine
if the PLL values are needed.

UBIFS: fix mounting problems after power cuts

commit a28ad42a4a0c6f302f488f26488b8b37c9b30024 upstream.

This is a bugfix for a problem with the following symptoms:

1. A power cut happens
2. After reboot, we try to mount UBIFS
3. Mount fails with "No space left on device" error message

UBIFS complains like this:

UBIFS error (pid 28225): grab_empty_leb: could not find an empty LEB

The root cause of this problem is that when we mount, not all LEBs are
categorized. Only those which were read are. However, the
'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' function assumes that all LEBs were
categorized and 'c->freeable_cnt' is valid, which is a false assumption.

This patch fixes the problem by teaching 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()'
to always fall back to LPT scanning if no freeable LEBs were found.

This problem was reported by few people in the past, but Brent Taylor
was able to reproduce it and send me a flash image which cannot be mounted,
which made it easy to hunt the bug. Kudos to Brent.

s390/gup: add missing TASK_SIZE check to get_user_pages_fast()

commit d55c4c613fc4d4ad2ba0fc6fa2b57176d420f7e4 upstream.

When walking page tables we need to make sure that everything
is within bounds of the ASCE limit of the task's address space.
Otherwise we might calculate e.g. a pud pointer which is not
within a pud and dereference it.
So check against TASK_SIZE (which is the ASCE limit) before
walking page tables.
