Andrew thought it should go in now. I'll take it, since it fixes a real problem and looks trivially correct (famous last words). * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: arch/x86/Kconfig: CONFIG_X86_UV should depend on CONFIG_EFI mm: fix pfn_t vs highmem kernel/locking/lockdep.c: convert hash tables to hlists mm,thp: fix spellos in describing __HAVE_ARCH_FLUSH_PMD_TLB_RANGE mm,thp: khugepaged: call pte flush at the time of collapse mm/backing-dev.c: fix error path in wb_init() mm, dax: check for pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd() vsprintf: kptr_restrict is okay in IRQ when 2 mm: fix filemap.c kernel doc warning ubsan: cosmetic fix to Kconfig text 2016-02-12T17:32:37+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2016-02-12T17:32:37+00:00 urn:sha1:4c05121e253beaf9f03cb31480f4aa676835404b Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley: "A set of seven fixes: Two regressions in the new hisi_sas arm driver, a blacklist entry for the marvell console which was causing a reset cascade without it, a race fix in the WRITE_SAME/DISCARD routines, a retry fix for the rdac driver, without which, it would prematurely return EIO and a couple of fixes for the hyper-v storvsc driver" * tag 'scsi-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi: block/sd: Return -EREMOTEIO when WRITE SAME and DISCARD are disabled SCSI: Add Marvell Console to VPD blacklist scsi_dh_rdac: always retry MODE SELECT on command lock violation storvsc: Use the specified target ID in device lookup storvsc: Install the storvsc specific timeout handler for FC devices hisi_sas: fix v1 hw check for slot error hisi_sas: add dependency for HAS_IOMEM 2016-02-12T02:35:48+00:00 Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com 2016-02-12T00:13:17+00:00 urn:sha1:db78c22230d0bcc8b27b81f05b39f104f08232c5 The pfn_t type uses an unsigned long to store a pfn + flags value. On a 64-bit platform the upper 12 bits of an unsigned long are never used for storing the value of a pfn. However, this is not true on highmem platforms, all 32-bits of a pfn value are used to address a 44-bit physical address space. A pfn_t needs to store a 64-bit value.

Particularly this line in the : reserve_ebda_region function causes problem: : : lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES); : : If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in : x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well. Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run. The patch will also save some memory. lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now - a 4.6 patch has been prepared to do this.

Ensure that parents are always destroyed after children. - cpuset mm node migration was performed synchronously while holding threadgroup and cgroup mutexes and the recent threadgroup locking update resulted in a possible deadlock.
