e8648a1fdb netfilter: add xt_cpu match
In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.

With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
(all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)

Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
server is to run multiple copies of them.

Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.

Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
but still presenting an unique external port :

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083

hpet_disable is called unconditionally on machine reboot if hpet support

aa32a79638 ext3: default to ordered mode
data=writeback mode is dangerous as it leads to higher data loss and stale data
exposure when systems crash. It should not be the default, especially when all
major distros ensure their ext3 filesystems default to ordered mode. Change the
default mode to the safer data=ordered mode, because we should be caring far
more about avoiding stale data exposure than performance.

7f1c407579 IPVS: make FTP work with full NAT support
Use nf_conntrack/nf_nat code to do the packet mangling and the TCP
sequence adjusting.  The function 'ip_vs_skb_replace' is now dead
code, so it is removed.

To SNAT FTP, use something like:

% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
    --vport 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
and for the data connections in passive mode:

% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
    --vportctl 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
using '-m state --state RELATED' would also works.

Make sure the kernel modules ip_vs_ftp, nf_conntrack_ftp, and
nf_nat_ftp are loaded.

6aa0b9dec5 KVM: MMU: fix conflict access permissions in direct sp
In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.

For example, have this mapping:
        [W]
      / PDE1 -> |---|
  P[W]          |   | LPA
      \ PDE2 -> |---|
        [R]

P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)

When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.

Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.

So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.

Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page

da5e37efe8 vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)
The .data..init_task output section was missing
a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.

Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().

There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
impacted by this change.

Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
all other output sections.

171aa2caaa powerpc/mm: Fix bugs in huge page hashing
There's a couple of nasty bugs lurking in our huge page hashing code.

First, we don't check the access permission atomically with setting
the _PAGE_BUSY bit, which means that the PTE value we end up using
for the hashing might be different than the one we have checked
the access permissions for.

We've seen cases where that leads us to try to use an invalidated
PTE for hashing, causing all sort of "interesting" issues.

Then, we also failed to set _PAGE_DIRTY on a write access.

Finally, a minor tweak but we should return 0 when we find the
PTE busy, in order to just re-execute the access, rather than 1
which means going to do_page_fault().

9b7b265c9a nilfs2: reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodes
The current btree implementation repeats the same calculation on the
maximum number of child nodes.  This is because a few low level
routines use the calculation for index addressing in a btree node
block.

This reduces the calculation by explicitly passing the maximum number
of child nodes (ncmax) through their argument.

This changes parameter passing of the following functions:

 - nilfs_btree_node_dptrs
 - nilfs_btree_node_get_ptr
 - nilfs_btree_node_set_ptr
 - nilfs_btree_node_init
 - nilfs_btree_node_move_left
 - nilfs_btree_node_move_right
 - nilfs_btree_node_insert
 - nilfs_btree_node_delete, and
 - nilfs_btree_get_node

The following functions are removed:

 - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min
 - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max

Most middle level btree operations are rewritten to pass a proper
ncmax value depending on whether each occurrence of node is "root" or
not.

A constant NILFS_BTREE_ROOT_NCHILDREN_MAX is used for the root node,
whereas nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function is used for
non-root nodes.  If a node could be either root or a non-root node, an
output argument of nilfs_btree_get_node() is used to set up ncmax.

cfa913a507 nilfs2: add sanity check in nilfs_btree_add_dirty_buffer
According to the report titled "problem with nilfs_cleanerd" from
Łukasz Wójcicki, nilfs_btree_lookup_dirty_buffers or
nilfs_btree_add_dirty_buffer got memory violation during garbage
collection.

This could happen if a level field of given btree node buffer is
incorrect, which is a crucial internal bug.

This inserts a sanity check to figure out the problem.

7c01745781 nilfs2: pass remount flag to parse_options
This adds is_remount argument to the parse_options() function that
obtains mount options from strings.

Previously, parse_options did not distinguish context whether it's
called for a new mount or remount, so the caller needed additional
verifications outside the function.

This allows parse_options to verify options and print messages
depending on the context.

802d317754 nilfs2: add nodiscard mount option
Nilfs has "discard" mount option which issues discard/TRIM commands to
underlying block device, but it lacks a complementary option and has
no way to disable the feature through remount.

This adds "nodiscard" option to resolve this imbalance.

773bc4f3b6 nilfs2: add barrier mount option
Nilfs enables write barriers by default and has "nobarrier" mount
option to disable this feature.  But it lacks the complementary option
and has no way to re-enable the feature on remount.

This adds "barrier" option to resolve this imbalance.

325020477a nilfs2: do not update log cursor for small change
Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record
the recent log position.  This shortens recovery time after unclean
unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a
few blocks of change.  If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and
continually, super blocks may be updated excessively.

This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does
not cross a segment boundary.

6c12516083 nilfs2: implement fallback for super root search
Although nilfs redundantly uses two super blocks and each may point to
different position on log, the current version of nilfs does not try
fallback to the spare super block when it doesn't find any valid log
at the position that the primary super block points to.

This has been a cause of mount failures due to write order reversals
on barrier less block devices.

This inserts fallback code in error path of nilfs_search_super_root
routine to resolve the mount failure problem.

843d63baa5 nilfs2: separate setup of log cursor from init_nilfs
This separates a setup routine of log cursor from init_nilfs().  The
routine, nilfs_store_log_cursor, reads the last position of the log
containing a super root, and initializes relevant state on the nilfs
object.

b2ac86e1a8 nilfs2: sync super blocks in turns
This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate
super blocks at the time.  This will help searching valid super root
when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is
happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly.  In
the situation, old super block likely points to valid log.

This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds
nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super
blocks write back to the disk.  And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides
whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to
sync super blocks asymmetrically.

The following functions are also changed:

 - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the
   argument.  The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip()
   function.

 - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if
   they point to the same checkpoint.

To update both of super block information, caller of
nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.
