Subject: mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset
In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE allocations
that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the allocating
thread has been migrated to a different CPU.
This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page is
put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt the
list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's list_lock
should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.
Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.
We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There is
actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets don't
affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different when
commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.
We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's anything
currently broken. Stable backports should be more important, but will
have to be reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW
I think that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if
we don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.

Subject: phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix crash if nvmem cell not specified
Driver currently crashes due to NULL pointer deference
while updating PHY tune register if nvmem cell is NULL.
Since, fused value for Tune1/2 register is optional,
we'd rather bail out.

ext4_resize_fs() has an off-by-one bug when checking whether growing of
a filesystem will not overflow inode count. As a result it allows a
filesystem with 8192 inodes per group to grow to 64TB which overflows
inode count to 0 and makes filesystem unusable. Fix it.
