On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to
long may result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of
mmap_rnd() therefore was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64
used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c")
in January 2008.
Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page(). This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page. WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information. memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.
In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache(). So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.
This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.
Background:
replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.
This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet. I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.
The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak. So, no panic, no deadlock. And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed. So no problem at shutdown.

mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handling
is possible to that we dereference rx->key == NULL when driver set
RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED and not RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED and we are in
promiscuous mode. This happen with rt73usb and rt61pci at least.
Before the commit we always check rx->key against NULL, so I assume
fix should be done in mac80211 (also mic_fail path has similar check).
When downloading firmware into the device, the driver fails to check the
return when allocating an skb. When the allocation fails, a BUG can be
generated, as seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771656.

Some Dell BIOSes have MCFG tables that don't report the entire
MMCONFIG area claimed by the chipset. If we move PCI devices into
that claimed-but-unreported area, they don't work.
This quirk reads the AMD MMCONFIG MSRs and adds PNP0C01 resources as
needed to cover the entire area.
Example problem scenario:
BIOS-e820: 00000000cfec5400 - 00000000d4000000 (reserved)
Fam 10h mmconf [d0000000, dfffffff]
PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 0000 [bus 00-3f] at [mem 0xd0000000-0xd3ffffff] (base 0xd0000000)
pnp 00:0c: [mem 0xd0000000-0xd3ffffff]
pci 0000:00:12.0: reg 10: [mem 0xffb00000-0xffb00fff]
pci 0000:00:12.0: no compatible bridge window for [mem 0xffb00000-0xffb00fff]
pci 0000:00:12.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0xd4000000-0xd40000ff]
Zhihua Che reported a possible memleak in slub allocator on
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds.
It is possible current thread migrates right before disabling irqs in
__slab_alloc(). We must check again c->freelist, and perform a normal
allocation instead of scratching c->freelist.
Many thanks to Zhihua Che for spotting this bug, introduced in 2.6.39
V2: Its also possible an IRQ freed one (or several) object(s) and
populated c->freelist, so its not a CONFIG_PREEMPT only problem.

Info about new measurements are cached in the iint for performance. When
the inode is flushed from cache, the associated iint is flushed as well.
Subsequent access to the inode will cause the inode to be re-measured and
will attempt to add a duplicate entry to the measurement list.
This patch frees the duplicate measurement memory, fixing a memory leak.
