It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

According to the manual the "tdfOnExit" flag must be set on the last byte
we want to send. The PSC controller holds SS low until the flag is set.
However, the flag was set always on the last byte of the FIFO,
independently if it is the last byte of the transfer. This generates
spurious toggling of the SS signals that breaks the protocol of some
peripherals. Fix.

The netmos_9xx5_combo type assumes that PCI SSID provides always the
correct value for the number of parallel and serial ports, but there are
indeed broken devices with wrong numbers, which may result in Oops.
This patch simply adds the check of the array range.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes
causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into
infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace).
We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing
issue. flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page
tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen
after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something
else. The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it.
The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has
called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the
mapping at that point.
That appeared to solve Jim's problems.

We're panicing in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() if a jbd-managed buffer is seen.
At first glance, this seems ok but in reality it can happen. My test case
was to just run 'exorcist'. A struct inode is being pushed out of memory but
is then re-read at a later time, before the buffer has been checkpointed by
jbd. This causes a BUG to be hit in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync().

Tecra M4 sometimes forget what it is and reports bogus data via DMI
which makes the machine evade broken suspend matching and thus fail
suspend/resume. This patch updates piix_broken_suspend() such that it
can match such case. As the borked DMI data is a bit generic,
matching many entries to make the match more specific is necessary.
As the usual DMI matching is limited to four entries, this patch uses
hard coded manual matching.
This is reported by Alexandru Romanescu.

When resizing a CQ, MTTs associated with the old CQE buffer were not
freed. As a result, if any app used resize CQ repeatedly, all MTTs
were eventually exhausted, which led to all memory registration
operations failing until the driver is reloaded.
Once the RESIZE_CQ command returns successfully from FW, FW no longer
accesses the old CQ buffer, so it is safe to deallocate the MTT
entries used by the old CQ buffer.
Finally, if the RESIZE_CQ command fails, the MTTs allocated for the
new CQEs buffer also need to be de-allocated.

When the "hpwdt" module is loaded (even if the /dev/watchdog device is not
opened), then kdump does not work. The panic kernel either does not start at
all or crash in various places.
The problem is that hpwdt_pretimeout is registered with register_die_notifier()
with the highest possible priority. Because it returns NOTIFY_STOP, the
crash_nmi_callback which is also registered with register_die_notifier()
is never executed. This causes the shutdown of other CPUs to fail.
Reverting the order is no option: The crash_nmi_callback executes HLT
and so never returns normally. Because of that, it must be executed as
last notifier, which currently is done.
So, that patch returns NOTIFY_OK to keep the crash_nmi_callback executed.
