It turns out that some device drivers map pages from the ACPI NVS region

Commit ca9b600be3 ("ACPI / PM: Make suspend_nvs_save() use
acpi_os_map_memory()") attempted to prevent the code in osl.c and nvs.c
from using different ioremap() variants by making the latter use
acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages. However, that also
requires acpi_os_unmap_memory() to be used for unmapping them, which
causes synchronize_rcu() to be executed many times in a row
unnecessarily and introduces substantial delays during resume on some
systems.
Instead of using acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages in nvs.c
introduce acpi_os_ioremap() calling ioremap_cache() and make the code in
both osl.c and nvs.c use it.

We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.
However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.
On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.
I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt:
if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask))
continue;
data->csd.func(data->csd.info);
refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs);
WARN_ON(refs < 0); <-------------------------
We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be?
It turns out commit 54fdade1c3
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.
The problem comes about because:
- The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
without any locking.
- We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
- We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
smp_call_function_many.
Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:
CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
data from CPU A on list
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
(stale) CPU A on list
smp_call_function int
clears last ref on A
list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
data->cpumask sees and
clears bit in cpumask
might be using old or new fn!
decrements refs below 0
set data->refs (too late!)
The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.
The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.
Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

Up until 3e7d344 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead
of lumpy reclaim"), compaction skipped calculating the fragmentation index
of a zone when compaction was explicitely requested through the procfs
knob.
However, when compaction_suitable was introduced, it did not come with an
extra check for order == -1, set on explicit compaction requests, and
passed this order on to the fragmentation index calculation, where it
overshifts the number of requested pages, leading to a division by zero.
This patch makes sure that order == -1 is recognized as the flag it is
rather than passing it along as valid order parameter.

I encountered the problem with OMAP's framebuffer ram allocation.
Normally the ram is allocated dynamically, and this function is not
called. However, if we want to pass the framebuffer from the bootloader
to the kernel (to retain the boot image), this function is used to check
the validity of the kernel parameters for the framebuffer ram area.
