Fix it by checking the return value from mantis_alloc_buffers() and

With the removal of the dynamic reallocation of page tables for
KVM (see git commit 0b46e0a3ec)
the page table allocation / freeing code can be simplified.
The page table free code can now use the alloc_pgste bit in the
mm context to decide if a page table is 2K or 4K, there is no mix
of different sized page tables anymore. This eliminates the need
to use "page->_mapcount == 0" to check for 4K page table.
Use the lower two bits in page->_mapcount to indicate which
2K fragments of the 4K page are in use.
As 31-bit support is gone, remove the two defines ALLOC_ORDER
and FRAG_MASK and use the constants directly where appropriate.

The z/VM driver sets bit "63-22" in control register zero to one in order
to enable the CP Service interrupt (0x2603). However the irq subclass mask
that normally corresponds to the CP Service interrupt is
"63-54" (== "63-22-32").
So it looks like the author read the documentation with the 32 bit sized
cr0 register bit positions (== 22), but didn't realize that bit numbers
change, if applied to a 64 bit register (== 54) due to the numbering
scheme.
Also use irq_subclass_register() instead if ctl_set_bit() since multiple
services depend on the service signal subclass mask, which is the correct
bit. This also explains why nobody noticed the bug, since the bit is always
enabled anyway (e.g. pfault).

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

The helper pnfs_roc() has already verified that we have no delegations,
and no further open files, hence no outstanding I/O and it has marked
all the return-on-close lsegs as being invalid.
Furthermore, it sets the NFS_LAYOUT_RETURN bit, thus serialising the
close/delegreturn with all future layoutget calls on this inode.
The checks in pnfs_roc_drain() for valid layout segments are therefore
redundant: those cannot exist until another layoutget completes.
The other check for whether or not NFS_LAYOUT_RETURN is set, actually
causes a hang, since we already know that we hold that flag.
To fix, we therefore strip out all the functionality in pnfs_roc_drain()
except the retrieval of the barrier state, and then rename the function
accordingly.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-08-18
This series contains updates to igb, e100, e1000e and ixgbe.
Shota Suzuki provides a fix for a possible overflow in
igb_set_interrupt_capability() which leads to an oops. When changing the
number of queues by "ethtool -L", set IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS in the same
manner as when initializing the igb driver.
Vasily Averin provides a fix for a missing rtnl_unlock() for when we
error out due to not being able to allocate memory for our queues.
Stefan Assman provides a couple of fixes for igb/igbvf. First changes
the igb driver in probe to simply call igb_enable_sriov() instead of
igb_sriov_reinit() since we are starting from scratch. Then in igbvf,
fix the driver where it does not clear the buffer_info->dma in all
cases after calling dma_unmap_single(), which was found by changing the
MTU twice.
Richard Cochran implements the periodic output function using the
programmable clock outputs available in i210 when possible, falling
back to the target time for longer periods.
Todd adds support for the Marvell PHY 1512 which is required for i354
devices. Then updates igb to make sure SR-IOV init uses the correct
number of queues, since recent changes could result in the PF holding
onto all of the queues.
Alex Williamson provides a fix in the case where a guest OS does not
support hot-unplug, so disable SR-IOV prior to unregister_netdev() to
avoid the problem.
Jia-Ju Bai provides several patches, first knocks some collecting dust
off an old e100 driver to add a check to avoid a null pointer
dereference. Then cleans up a possible resource leak by releasing the
skb buffer allocated when the e100_xmit_prepare() runs into an issue
in the DMA mapping. In igb, add a missing rtnl_unlock() for when we
error out due to igb_sriov_reinit() in the igb_init_interrupt_scheme().
Provides a e1000e fix, based on suggestions from Alex Duyck to move
head/tail register writing to e1000_configure_tx/rx() to avoid a
possible null pointer dereference (similar to igb driver). Lastly,
fix a possible memory leak in igb_probe(), where the memory shadow_vfta
allocated by kcalloc in igb_sw_init() is not freed.
Mark simplifies port-specific macros for ixgbe by eliminating explicit
comparisons with 0 and enclose formal parameters in parens to eliminate
the risk of an operator precedence issue.

Filesystems are responsible to manage file coherency between the page
cache and direct I/O. The generic dio code flushes dirty pages over the
range of a dio to ensure that the dio read or a future buffered read
returns the correct data. XFS has generally followed this pattern,
though traditionally has flushed and invalidated the range from the
start of the I/O all the way to the end of the file. This changed after
the following commit:
7d4ea3ce xfs: use ranged writeback and invalidation for direct IO
... as the full file flush was no longer necessary to deal with the
strange post-eof delalloc issues that were since fixed. Unfortunately,
we have since received complaints about performance degradation due to
the increased exclusive iolock cycles (which locks out parallel dio
submission) that occur when a file has cached pages. This does not occur
on filesystems that use the generic code as it also does not incorporate
locking.
The exclusive iolock is acquired any time the inode mapping has cached
pages, regardless of whether they reside in the range of the I/O or not.
If not, the flush/inval calls do no work and the lock was cycled for no
reason.
Under consideration of the cost of the exclusive iolock, update the dio
read and write handlers to flush and invalidate the entire mapping when
cached pages exist. In most cases, this increases the cost of the
initial flush sequence but eliminates the need for further lock cycles
and flushes so long as the workload does not actively mix direct and
buffered I/O. This also more closely matches historical behavior and
performance characteristics that users have come to expect.
