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

aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane

2013-12-21T22:56:08Z

The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.

pstore: Don't allow high traffic options on fragile devices

2013-12-20T21:12:01Z

Some pstore backing devices use on board flash as persistent storage. These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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.

mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support

2013-12-20T20:17:03Z

Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being a transparent huge-table entry. The code - introduced in commit 1998cc048901 ("mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it turns out that that function doesn't work correctly. pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal development systems would never actually trigger this. Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation, and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly.
