Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman: "This is a set of 3 regression fixes. This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add " to display the actual mount point. This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach. This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use. Oops. My apologies for sending this pull request so late. Al Viro gave interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to address in detail before I sent this pull request. Unfortunately a bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today. The executive summary of the review was: Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient? The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of functions is a really mess. Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient. Yes, the code is mess. No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line change will do" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Fix a regression in mounting proc fork: Allow CLONE_PARENT after setns(CLONE_NEWPID) vfs: In d_path don't call d_dname on a mount point

sched_clock: Disable seqlock lockdep usage in sched_clock()

2014-01-12T09:14:00Z

Unfortunately the seqlock lockdep enablement can't be used in sched_clock(), since the lockdep infrastructure eventually calls into sched_clock(), which causes a deadlock. Thus, this patch changes all generic sched_clock() usage to use the raw_* methods.

sched: Calculate effective load even if local weight is 0

2014-01-12T08:22:15Z

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load. Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case. wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the historical behaviour.

2013-12-24T17:35:58Z

Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo: "There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen". It's an ugly hack working around a deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active() instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed, followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support, hopefully. Others are device-specific fixes. The most notable is the addition of NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro M500 SSDs which otherwise suffers data corruption" * 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen libata: implement ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and apply it to Micro M500 SSDs libata: disable a disk via libata.force params ahci: bail out on ICH6 before using AHCI BAR ahci: imx: Explicitly clear IMX6Q_GPR13_SATA_MPLL_CLK_EN libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_BROKEN_FPDMA_AA quirk for Seagate Momentus SpinPoint M8

mm: do not allocate page->ptl dynamically, if spinlock_t fits to long

2013-12-20T20:25:45Z

In struct page we have enough space to fit long-size page->ptl there, but we use dynamically-allocated page->ptl if size(spinlock_t) is larger than sizeof(int). It hurts 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it easily fits into struct page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
