Hello Greg,
this series fixes an issue with the I2C driver of the Renesas R-Car and
RZ/G1 family of chips. The issue is clearly visible with the CIP kernel
(4.4) running on a iwg20d board from iWave due to the way the bq32000
driver/device is interacting with the I2C driver/controller.
In the stable kernel (4.4) there is no support for the iwg20d, I tried
to replicate the same problem on a Koelsch board with no success, but
the problem is there.
Do you think this series is suitable for (4.4) stable considering I
can't reproduce the problem on the Koelsch board?
This patches apply on top of 4.4.133.
Thanks,
Fab

Above commit is a wrong backport, as it is based on a missing
prerequisite patch. Correct that by reverting said commit, include the
missing patch, and do the backport correctly.

Hi Greg,
the following are some more patches for stable releases.
I collected the following clang patches from chromeos-4.14. They are not
really needed to build x86_64:defconfig in v4.14.y with clang (5.0), but
they do fix a couple of build warnings if the respective drivers are enabled.
I'll leave it up to you if you want to apply them or not. I did make sure
that defconfig and allmodconfig still build using gcc with the patches
applied.

Subject: mm/huge_memory.c: __split_huge_page() use atomic ClearPageDirty()
Swapping load on huge=always tmpfs (with khugepaged tuned up to be very
eager, but I'm not sure that is relevant) soon hung uninterruptibly,
waiting for page lock in shmem_getpage_gfp()'s find_lock_entry(), most
often when "cp -a" was trying to write to a smallish file. Debug showed
that the page in question was not locked, and page->mapping NULL by now,
but page->index consistent with having been in a huge page before.
Reproduced in minutes on a 4.15 kernel, even with 4.17's 605ca5ede764
("mm/huge_memory.c: reorder operations in __split_huge_page_tail()") added
in; but took hours to reproduce on a 4.17 kernel (no idea why).
The culprit proved to be the __ClearPageDirty() on tails beyond i_size in
__split_huge_page(): the non-atomic __bitoperation may have been safe when
4.8's baa355fd3314 ("thp: file pages support for split_huge_page()")
introduced it, but liable to erase PageWaiters after 4.10's 62906027091f
("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit").

Marc reported that v4.9.y hung at boot time on his GICv3 system, since the
spectre backports.
This is because the errata detection logic tries to enable a static key in the
secondary bringup path, before the secondary CPU has configured its GICv3 CPU
interface, causing it to blow up when it tries to IPI the other CPUs. This
affects any local cpu feature detection in systems with heterogeneous CPUs.
Some prior rework upstream moved this out of the secondary bringup path, which
avoids the issue, so this series backports said rework.
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi,
On a system that has IMA appraisal enabled it is impossible to create
security.ima extended attribute files that contain IMA hash.
For instance, consider the following use case:
1) extract application files to a staging area as non root user
2) verify that installation is correct
3) create IMA extended attributes for the installed files
4) move the files to their destination
5) change the files ownership to root
With the longterm kernels 4.4.x and 4.9.x step 3 will fail.
The issues is fixed in upstream kernels by the commit
f5acb3dcba1ffb7f0b8cbb9dba61500eea5d610b ("Revert "ima: limit file hash
setting by user to fix and log modes"), with the patch also quoted below.

Sincerely yours,
Mike.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ima: limit file hash setting by user to fix and log
modes"
Userspace applications have been modified to write security xattrs,
but they are not context aware. In the case of security.ima, the
security xattr can be either a file hash or a file signature.
Permitting writing one, but not the other requires the application to
be context aware.
In addition, userspace applications might write files to a staging
area, which might not be in policy, and then change some file metadata
(eg. owner) making it in policy. As a result, these files are not
labeled properly.
This reverts commit c68ed80c97d9720f51ef31fe91560fdd1e121533, which
prevents writing file hashes as security.ima xattrs.

When moving xfs volumes between kernels that have 96f859d52 and don't
have 96f859d52, there is potential for a filesystem crash if the agfl
has wrapped (flfirst > fllast). Depending on which filesystem this is
this can take down the whole machine.
Such is the case when upgrading from the stock Centos 7 3.13 to the
kernel.org stable kernels (via elrepo). Another possible common
boundary cross I noticed was early Ubuntu kernel v4.4 to recent v4.4.
We've been hitting this crash roughly once a week in our cloud, and it
has produced the below stack trace.
The solution prefers to reset the agfl and leak a few blocks instead of
shutting down the filesystem. The leaked blocks can be recovered using
a xfs_repair.
The attached patch is a backport of a27ba2607 due to a78ee256c. It is
intended for and tested on the v4.4 stream, but should apply to all
kernels that lack upstream a78ee256c.
Thanks,
Dave Chiluk
