In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all:

called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page

filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount.

vfs: fix handling of lock allocation failure in lease-break case
Bruce Fields notes that commit ac2bb189e260 ("locks: fix tracking of
inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer
dereference on failure to allocate memory. locks_conflict() will
dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer.
This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease
applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running)
could crash if a kmalloc() fails.
So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just
check the allocation failure early. That makes the code more
straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.

KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuid
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.
This is broken in several ways:
- if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
- live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
breaking it
- guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.
Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

Since Linux 2.6.36 the writeback code has introduces various measures for
live lock prevention during sync(). Unfortunately some of these are
actively harmful for the XFS model, where the inode gets marked dirty for
metadata from the data I/O handler.
The older_than_this checks that are now more strictly enforced since
by only calling into __writeback_inodes_sb and thus only sampling the
current cut off time once. But on a slow enough devices the previous
asynchronous sync pass might not have fully completed yet, and thus XFS
might mark metadata dirty only after that sampling of the cut off time for
the blocking pass already happened. I have not myself reproduced this
myself on a real system, but by introducing artificial delay into the
XFS I/O completion workqueues it can be reproduced easily.
Fix this by iterating over all XFS inodes in ->sync_fs and log all that
are dirty. This might log inode that only got redirtied after the
previous pass, but given how cheap delayed logging of inodes is it
isn't a major concern for performance.

xfs: log the inode in ->write_inode calls for kupdate
If the writeback code writes back an inode because it has expired we currently
use the non-blockin ->write_inode path. This means any inode that is pinned
is skipped. With delayed logging and a workload that has very little log
traffic otherwise it is very likely that an inode that gets constantly
written to is always pinned, and thus we keep refusing to write it. The VM
writeback code at that point redirties it and doesn't try to write it again
for another 30 seconds. This means under certain scenarious time based
metadata writeback never happens.
Fix this by calling into xfs_log_inode for kupdate in addition to data
integrity syncs, and thus transfer the inode to the log ASAP.

ARM: 7197/1: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 751472
Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.
This patches uses the SMP/UP patching facilities instead to compile
out the workaround if the configuration means that it is definitely
not needed.
This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_751472, without preventing a UP kernel from being built
or duplicatiing knowledge about when to activate the workaround.
This seems the correct way to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.

ARM: 7196/1: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 720789
Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the

configuration choices impossible.
The workaround for erratum 720789 only affects a code path which is
not active in UP kernels; hence it should be safe to turn on in UP
kernels, without penalty.
This patch simply removes the extra dependency on SMP from Kconfig.
This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_720789, without preventing a UP kernel from being built

ARM: 7235/1: irqdomain: export irq_domain_simple_ops for !CONFIG_OF
irqdomain support is used in interrupt controller drivers that may not
have device tree support but only need the basic HW->Linux irq
translation. Rather than having each of these implement their own IRQ
domain, allow them to use the simple ops.

"! --connbytes 23:42" should match if the packet/byte count is not in range.
As there is no explict "invert match" toggle in the match structure,
userspace swaps the from and to arguments
(i.e., as if "--connbytes 42:23" were given).
However, "what <= 23 && what >= 42" will always be false.
Change things so we use "||" in case "from" is larger than "to".
This change may look like it breaks backwards compatibility when "to" is 0.
However, older iptables binaries will refuse "connbytes 42:0",
and current releases treat it to mean "! --connbytes 0:42",
so we should be fine.

Btrfs: call d_instantiate after all ops are setup
This closes races where btrfs is calling d_instantiate too soon during
inode creation. All of the callers of btrfs_add_nondir are updated to
instantiate after the inode is fully setup in memory.

This change fixes a linking problem, which happens if oprofile
is selected to be compiled as built-in:
`oprofile_arch_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of
arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section
`.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o
The problem is appeared after commit 68d39f5fd3, which
introduced oprofile_arch_exit() calls from __init function. Note
that the aforementioned commit has been backported to stable
branches, and the problem is known to be reproduced at least
with 3.0.13 and 3.1.5 kernels.
