Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
"Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
to speed module address lookup. He found some abusers of the module
lock doing that too.
A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
another module (yeah, really). Unfortunately that broke the usual
suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
appended too"

Pull ARC architecture updates from Vineet Gupta:
- support for HS38 cores based on ARCv2 ISA
ARCv2 is the next generation ISA from Synopsys and basis for the
HS3{4,6,8} families of processors which retain the traditional ARC mantra of
low power and configurability and are now more performant and feature rich.
HS38x is a 10 stage pipeline core which supports MMU (with huge pages) and
SMP (upto 4 cores) among other features.

Add a early_enable module parameter to the omap_wdt that starts the
watchdog on module insertion. The default value is 0 which does not
start the watchdog - which also does not change the behavior if the

"Outside of our usual batch of fixes, this integrates the subvolume
quota updates that Qu Wenruo from Fujitsu has been working on for a

Dave Sterba tested and integrated Anand Jain's sysfs improvements.
Outside of exporting a symbol (ack'd by Greg) these are all internal
to btrfs and it's mostly cleanups and fixes. Anand also attached some
of our sysfs objects to our internal device management structs instead
of an object off the super block. It will make device management
easier overall and it's a better fit for how the sysfs files are used.
None of the existing sysfs files are moved around.

To be consistent with other kernel interface namings, rename
of_get_named_gen_pool() to of_gen_pool_get(). In the original function
name "_named" suffix references to a device tree property, which contains
a phandle to a device and the corresponding device driver is assumed to
register a gen_pool object.
Due to a weak relation and to avoid any confusion (e.g. in future
possible scenario if gen_pool objects are named) the suffix is removed.

do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of

of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer(). However these two functions now have
So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying
function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as
do_device_access() i.e. a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no
pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the
warning, it also make the code simpler :)

The 'buf' parameter of sg(p)copy_from_buffer() can and should be
const-qualified, although because of the shared implementation of
_to_buffer() and _from_buffer(), we have to cast this away internally.
This means that callers who have a 'const' buffer containing the data to
be copied to the sg-list no longer have to cast away the const-ness
themselves. It also enables improved coverage by code analysis tools.

The kerneldoc for the functions doesn't match the code; the last two
parameters (buflen, skip) have been transposed, which is confusing,
especially as they're both integral types and the compiler won't warn
about swapping them.
These functions and the kerneldoc were introduced in commit:
df642cea lib/scatterlist: introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() ...
Author: Akinobu Mita <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Jul 8 16:01:54 2013 -0700
The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that
specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before
copying.
The functions have the extra argument at the end, but the kerneldoc
lists it in penultimate position.

In ipc_obtain_object_check we return -EIDRM when a bogus sequence number
is detected via ipc_checkid, while the ipc manpages state the following
return codes for such errors:
EIDRM <ID> points to a removed identifier.
EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.
EIDRM should only be returned upon a RMID call (->deleted check), and thus
return EINVAL for wrong seq. This difference in semantics has also caused
real bugs, ie: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246509

The ipc_lock helper is used by all forms of sysv ipc to acquire the ipc
object's spinlock. Upon error (bogus identifier), we always return
-EINVAL, whether the problem be in the idr path or because we raced with a
task performing RMID. For the later, however, all ipc related manpages,
state the that for:
EIDRM <ID> points to a removed identifier.
And return:
EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.
Which (EINVAL) should only return once the ipc resource is deleted. For
all types of ipc this is done immediately upon a RMID command. However,
shared memory behaves slightly different as it can merely mark a segment
for deletion, and delay the actual freeing until there are no more active
consumers. Per shmctl(IPC_RMID) manpage:
""
Mark the segment to be destroyed. The segment will only actually
be destroyed after the last process detaches it (i.e., when the
shm_nattch member of the associated structure shmid_ds is zero).
""
Unlike ipc_lock, paths that behave "correctly", at least per the manpage,
involve controlling the ipc resource via *ctl(), doing the exact same
validity check as ipc_lock after right acquiring the spinlock:
if (!ipc_valid_object()) {
err = -EIDRM;
goto out_unlock;
}
Thus make ipc_lock consistent with the rest of ipc code and return -EIDRM
in ipc_lock when !ipc_valid_object().

We currently use a full barrier on the sender side to to avoid receiver
tasks disappearing on us while still performing on the sender side wakeup.
We lack however, the proper CPU-CPU interactions pairing on the receiver
side which busy-waits for the message. Similarly, we do not need a full
smp_mb, and can relax the semantics for the writer and reader sides of the
message. This is safe as we are only ordering loads and stores to r_msg.
And in both smp_wmb and smp_rmb, there are no stores after the calls
_anyway_.
This obviously applies for pipelined_send and expunge_all, for EIRDM when
destroying a queue.

Upon every shm_lock call, we BUG_ON if an error was returned, indicating
racing either in idr or in shm_destroy. Move this logic into the locking.

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since arc doesn't
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in
order to loop over each sg element. But this can help find problems with
drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global
devpts_mnt. A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index,
which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash.
Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead. Make
both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in
that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call
on /dev/ptmx.
