Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
and re-loading. To quote Anatol:
"This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
kobject_put(). kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
thread.
Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
the same kobject:
THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj()) THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
splin_lock()
atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
... starts kobject cleanup ....
spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
iterate over kset->list
atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
spin_unlock()
spin_lock() // taken
// it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
remove obj from list
spin_unlock()
vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj
// kobj points to freed memory area!!
kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!
The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
when somebody unloads module. The module.c code was introduced in
commit 6494a93d55fa"
Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
refcount has already dropped to zero.
See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().
[ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
module mutex. That may require further thought, but this is the
correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

This patch attempts to fix:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461
The symptom is a crash and messages like this:
chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f5 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.
On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).
The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).
This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.
BTW, I disassembled and checked that:
if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

The cnic module is responsible for initializing various bnx2x structs
via callbacks provided by the bnx2x module.
One such struct is the queue object for the FCoE queue.
If a device is working in AFEX mode and its configuration allows FCoE yet
the cnic module is not loaded, it's very likely a null pointer dereference
will occur, as the bnx2x will erroneously access the FCoE's queue object.
Prevent said access until cnic properly registers itself.

NFSv4: Doh! Typo in the fix to nfs41_walk_client_list
This patch fix the regression introduced by the commit 3202bf0157
"arm: mvebu: Improve the SMP support of the interrupt controller":
GPIO IRQ were no longer delivered to the CPUs.
To be delivered to a CPU an interrupt must be enabled at CPU level and
at interrupt source level. Before the offending patch, all the
interrupts were enabled at source level during map() function. Mask()
and unmask() was done by handling the per-CPU part. It was fine when
running in UP with only one CPU.
The offending patch added support for SMP, in this case mask() and
unmask() was done by handling the interrupt source level part. The
per-CPU level part was handled by the affinity API to select the CPU
which will receive the interrupt. (Due to some hardware limitation
only one CPU at a time can received a given interrupt).
For "normal" interrupt __setup_irq() was called when an irq was
registered. irq_set_affinity() is called from this function, which
enabled the interrupt on one of the CPUs. Whereas for GPIO IRQ which
were chained interrupts, the irq_set_affinity() was never called and
none of the CPUs was selected to receive the interrupt.
With this patch all the interrupt are enable on the current CPU during
map() function. Enabling the interrupts on a CPU doesn't depend
anymore on irq_set_affinity() and then the chained irq are not anymore
a special case. However the CPU which will receive the irq can still
be modify later using irq_set_affinity().

over NFS, compiled with CONFIG_SMP=y/N.
