We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix
involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the
space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating
it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not
correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised
structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would
or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL.
This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches
of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are
irrelevent for the space-freeing case.

Patch from Dmitry Mishin <dim@openvz.org>:
Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc
in order to avoid BUG message.
CPU1 CPU2
dst_run_gc() entered dst_run_gc() entered
spin_lock(&dst_lock) .....
del_timer(&dst_gc_timer) fail to get lock
.... mod_timer() <--- puts
timer back
to the list
add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already.
Found during OpenVZ internal testing.
At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
this condition in mainstream kernel.
F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
starts the timer.
If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
exactly to the situation described.

SCSI EH locks door if sdev->locked is set. Sometimes door lock
command fails continuously (e.g. when medium is not present) and as
libata uses EH to acquire sense data, this easily creates a loop where
a failed lock door invokes EH and EH issues lock door on completion.
This patch clears sdev->locked on door lock failure to break this
loop. This problem has been spotted and diagnosed by Unicorn Chang
<uchang@tw.ibm.com>.

Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:
CPU0 CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
if (tx_ring_full) {
tx_lock
tg3_tx()
if (!netif_queue_stopped)
netif_stop_queue()
if (!tx_ring_full)
update_tx_ring
netif_wake_queue()
tx_unlock
}
Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.
The following changes are made:
1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.
2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.
3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().
4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.
5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.
6. Update version to 3.65.

During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src
can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM
and kernel panics.
It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and
225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash:
syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576
bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e. max rt size is
4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone
Attached the patch which removes HASH_HIGHMEM flag from
alloc_large_system_hash() call.

as interrupt for an internal path verification operation due to a
