I have two late fixes for the v3.12 release:
The first patch fixes a problem in the c_can's RX message handling, which can
lead to an endless interrupt loop under heavy load if messages are lost. The
second patch is by Olivier Sobrie and fixes the endpoint detection of the
kvaser_usb driver, which is needed for some devices.

Introduced in f9e42b8535 ("net: sctp: sideeffect: throw BUG if
primary_path is NULL"), we intended to find a buggy assoc that's
part of the assoc hash table with a primary_path that is NULL.
However, we better remove the BUG_ON for now and find a more
suitable place to assert for these things as Mark reports that
this also triggers the bug when duplication cookie processing
happens, and the assoc is not part of the hash table (so all
good in this case). Such a situation can for example easily be
reproduced by:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 2 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:2 handle 20: netem loss 20%
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 2 u32 match ip \
protocol 132 0xff match u8 0x0b 0xff at 32 flowid 1:2
This drops 20% of COOKIE-ACK packets. After some follow-up
discussion with Vlad we came to the conclusion that for now we
should still better remove this BUG_ON() assertion, and come up
with two follow-ups later on, that is, i) find a more suitable
place for this assertion, and possibly ii) have a special
allocator/initializer for such kind of temporary assocs.

When CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 enabled query adapter info for debugging
It is easy now in SMB3 to query the information about the server's
network interfaces (and at least Windows 8 and above do this, if not
other clients) there are some useful pieces of information you can get
including:
- all of the network interfaces that the server advertises (not just
the one you are mounting over), and with SMB3 supporting multichannel
this helps with more than just failover (also aggregating multiple
sockets under one mount)
- whether the adapter supports RSS (useful to know if you want to
estimate whether setting up two or more socket connections to the same
address is going to be faster due to RSS offload in the adapter)
- whether the server supports RDMA
- whether the server has IPv6 interfaces (if you connected over IPv4
but prefer IPv6 e.g.)
- what the link speed is (you might want to reconnect over a higher
speed interface if available)
(Of course we could also rerequest this on every mount cheaplly to the
same server, as Windows apparently does, so we can update the adapter
info on new mounts, and also on every reconnect if the network
interface drops temporarily - so we don't have to rely on info from
the first mount to this server)
It is trivial to request this information - and certainly will be useful
when we get to the point of doing multichannel (and eventually RDMA),
but some of this (linkspeed etc.) info may help for debugging in
the meantime. Enable this request when CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 is on
(only for smb3 mounts since it is an SMB3 or later ioctl).

whether a file on a cifs, or smb2/smb3 mount was compressed.
This patch extends the ability to set the per-file

different IOCTL mechanism than SMB2, although the payload
(the flags stored in the compression_state) are the same.

This alignment information and preferred sector

The multiplex identifier (MID) in the SMB header is only
ever used by the client, in conjunction with PID, to match responses
from the server. As such, the endianess of the MID is not important.
However, When tracing packet sequences on the wire, protocol analyzers
such as wireshark display MID as little endian. It is much more informative
for the on-the-wire MID sequences to match debug information emitted by the
CIFS driver. Therefore, one should write and read MID in the SMB header
assuming it is always little endian.
Observed from wireshark during the protocol negotiation
and session setup:
Multiplex ID: 256
Multiplex ID: 256
Multiplex ID: 512
Multiplex ID: 512
Multiplex ID: 768
Multiplex ID: 768
After this patch on-the-wire MID values begin at 1 and increase monotonically.
Introduce get_next_mid64() for the internal consumers that use the full 64 bit
multiplex identifier.
Introduce the helpers get_mid() and compare_mid() to make the endian
translation clear.

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current
task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm.
A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from
init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm
(for mm->pgd)
The reasons it worked so far is amazing:
1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD.
In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref.
2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in
pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d23

When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged
memory to the parent memcg. As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d0 "memcg: add per
cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read. The goal
was to check for counter underflow. The counter is a per cpu counter
and there are two problems with the code:
(1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used
which easily causes oops.
(2) the check doesn't sum all cpus
Test:
$ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
$ mkdir x
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec cat) &
[1] 7154
$ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat
mapped_file 53248
$ echo 7154 > tasks
$ rmdir x
<OOPS>
The fix is to remove the check. It's currently dangerous and isn't
worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as
percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page. __this_cpu_read() isn't
enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus
count. The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >=
nr_pages.

sysfs_assoc_lock is an odd piece of locking. In general, whoever owns
a kobject is responsible for synchronizing sysfs operations and sysfs
proper assumes that, for example, removal won't race with any other
operation; however, this doesn't work for symlinking because an entity
performing symlink doesn't usually own the target kobject and thus has
no control over its removal.
sysfs_assoc_lock synchronizes symlink operations against kobj->sd
disassociation so that symlink code doesn't end up dereferencing
already freed sysfs_dirent by racing with removal of the target
kobject.
This is quite obscure and the generic name of the lock and lack of
comments make it difficult to understand its role. Let's rename it to
sysfs_symlink_target_lock and add comments explaining what's going on.

13c589d5b0 ("sysfs: use seq_file when reading regular files")
converted regular sysfs files to use seq_file. The commit substituted
generic_file_llseek() with seq_lseek() for llseek implementation.
Before the change, all regular sysfs files were allowed to seek to any
position in [0, PAGE_SIZE] as the file size is always PAGE_SIZE and
generic_file_llseek() allows any seeking inside the range under file
size; however, seq_lseek()'s behavior is different. It traverses the
output by repeatedly invoking ->show() until it reaches the target
offset or traversal indicates EOF. As seq_files are fully dynamic and
may not end at all, it doesn't support seeking from the end
(SEEK_END).
Apparently, there are userland tools which uses SEEK_END to discover
the buffer size to use and the switch to seq_lseek() disturbs them as
SEEK_END fails with -EINVAL.
The only benefits of using seq_lseek() instead of
generic_file_llseek() are
* Early failure. If traversing to certain file position should fail,
seq_lseek() will report such failures on lseek(2) instead of the
following read/write operations.
* EOF detection. While SEEK_END is not supported, SEEK_SET/CUR +
large offset can be used to detect eof - eof at the time of the seek
anyway as the file size may change dynamically.
Both aren't necessary for sysfs or prospect kernfs users. Revert to
genefic_file_llseek() and preserve the original behavior.
