As an identical match is wanted in this case, strcmp can be used instead.
The semantic match that lead to detecting this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression foo;
constant char *abc;
@@
*strncmp(foo, abc, sizeof(abc))

This is the counterpart to cba767175becadc5c4016cceb7bfdd2c7fe722f4
("pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices"). Device is not
registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy
which looks up the device by dev_t. This will fail and adding the device
again will fail with the "duplicate name" error. This is fixed using
device_unregister instead of device_destroy.

The probe function passes a pointer to a struct fb_info to
platform_set_drvdata(), so don't interpret the return value of
platform_get_drvdata() as a pointer to struct imxfb_info.
The original imxfb_info *fbi backlight_power was NULL but in imxfb_suspend
it was 4 resulting in an oops as imxfb_suspend calls
imxfb_disable_controller(fbi) which in turn has
if (fbi->backlight_power)
fbi->backlight_power(0);

In cgroup_create(), if alloc_css_id() returns failure, the errno is not
propagated to userspace, so mkdir will fail silently.
To trigger this bug, we mount blkio (or memory subsystem), and create more
then 65534 cgroups. (The number of cgroups is limited to 65535 if a
subsystem has use_id == 1)
# mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt
# for ((i = 0; i < 65534; i++)); do mkdir /mnt/$i; done
# mkdir /mnt/65534
(should return ENOSPC)

When I use markup_oops.pl parse a x8664 oops, I got:
objdump: --start-address: bad number: NaN
No matching code found
This is because:
main::(./m.pl:228): open(FILE, "objdump -dS --adjust-vma=$vmaoffset --start-address=$decodestart --stop-address=$decodestop $filename |") || die "Cannot start objdump";
DB<3> p $decodestart
NaN
This NaN is from:
main::(./m.pl:176): my $decodestart = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$target") - Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$func_offset");
DB<2> p $func_offset
0x175
There is already a "0x" in $func_offset, another 0x makes it a NaN.
The $func_offset is from line:
if ($line =~ /RIP: 0010:\[\<[0-9a-f]+\>\] \[\<[0-9a-f]+\>\] ([a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)\+(0x[0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/) {
$function = $1;
$func_offset = $2;
}
I make a patch to change "(0x[0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/)" to "0x([0-9a-f]+)\/0x[a-f0-9]/)".

The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be:
flush_dcache_page(page);
kmap_atomic(page);
write to page;
kunmap_atomic(page);
flush_dcache_page(page);
More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.
Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:
int val = 0x11111111;
fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
tmp = *(addr+0);
*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
close(fd);
The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Eric Paris located a bug in idr. With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three
layers when id 4096 is first allocated. When that happens, idr wraps
incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits. The
following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely.
#include <linux/idr.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);
int init_module(void)
{
int ret, forty95, forty96;
void *addr;
/* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */
again1:
if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95);
if (ret) {
if (ret == -EAGAIN)
goto again1;
return ret;
}
if (forty95 != 4095)
printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95);
again2:
if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96);
if (ret) {
if (ret == -EAGAIN)
goto again2;
return ret;
}
if (forty96 != 4096)
printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96);
/* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */
addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95);
if ((int)addr != forty95)
printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr);
addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96);
if ((int)addr != forty96)
printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty96=%d addr=%d\n", forty96, (int)addr);
/* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */
addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0);
if ((int)addr)
printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr);
idr_remove(&test_idr, forty95);
idr_remove(&test_idr, forty96);
return 0;
}

This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it
step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step
backtracking. The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following.
restart:
clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection
l = top level
while (true) {
search for empty slot at this level
if (not found) {
push id to the next possible value
l++
A: if (pa[l] is clear)
failed, return asking caller to grow the tree
if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search)
continue the while loop above with the incremented l
else
C: goto restart
}
adjust id accordingly to the found slot
if (l == 0)
return found id;
create lower level if not there yet
record pa[l] and l--
}
Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is
propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks
the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is
above the possible limit with the current layers. sub_alloc() assumes the
start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit
condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring
high set bit.
So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid
pointer. However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so
it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit
set beyond the top level.
This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full
id limit check.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.
Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the
code.

Free memory allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc using kmem_cache_free rather
than kfree.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

expression x,E,c;
@@
x = \(kmem_cache_alloc\|kmem_cache_zalloc\|kmem_cache_alloc_node\)(c,...)

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free
up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So
fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had
no active vmap regions within them.
Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case
of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim
such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so
as to avoid a large build up of them).
Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU
vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the
previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use
RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is
obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU
walking).
While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier
iteration.
These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the
XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved
with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it
will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS
changes into their local tree).
