+Subject: cifs: return proper error code in statfs(2)
+
+From: Paulo Alcantara <pc@cjr.nz>
+
+commit 14302ee3301b3a77b331cc14efb95bf7184c73cc upstream.
+
+In cifs_statfs(), if server->ops->queryfs is not NULL, then we should
+use its return value rather than always returning 0.  Instead, use rc
+variable as it is properly set to 0 in case there is no
+server->ops->queryfs.

+@@ -144,77 +144,13 @@ Please send incremental versions on top
+ the patches the way they would look like if your latest patch series was to be
+ merged.
+-Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the various stable releases?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-A: Normally Greg Kroah-Hartman collects stable commits himself, but for
+-networking, Dave collects up patches he deems critical for the
+-networking subsystem, and then hands them off to Greg.
+-
+-There is a patchworks queue that you can see here:
+-
+-  https://patchwork.kernel.org/bundle/netdev/stable/?state=*
+-
+-It contains the patches which Dave has selected, but not yet handed off
+-to Greg.  If Greg already has the patch, then it will be here:
+-
+-  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
+-
+-A quick way to find whether the patch is in this stable-queue is to
+-simply clone the repo, and then git grep the mainline commit ID, e.g.
+-::
+-
+-  stable-queue$ git grep -l 284041ef21fdf2e
+-  releases/3.0.84/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+-  releases/3.4.51/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+-  releases/3.9.8/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+-  stable/stable-queue$
+-
+-Q: I see a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-Q: Should I request it via stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in
+-the kernel's Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file say?
+-A: No, not for networking.  Check the stable queues as per above first
+-to see if it is already queued.  If not, then send a mail to netdev,
+-listing the upstream commit ID and why you think it should be a stable
+-candidate.
+-
+-Before you jump to go do the above, do note that the normal stable rules
+-in :ref:`Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst <stable_kernel_rules>`
+-still apply.  So you need to explicitly indicate why it is a critical
+-fix and exactly what users are impacted.  In addition, you need to
+-convince yourself that you *really* think it has been overlooked,
+-vs. having been considered and rejected.
+-
+-Generally speaking, the longer it has had a chance to "soak" in
+-mainline, the better the odds that it is an OK candidate for stable.  So
+-scrambling to request a commit be added the day after it appears should
+-be avoided.
+-
+-Q: I have created a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-Q: Should I add a Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in the
+-kernel's Documentation/ directory say?
+-A: No.  See above answer.  In short, if you think it really belongs in
+-stable, then ensure you write a decent commit log that describes who
+-gets impacted by the bug fix and how it manifests itself, and when the
+-bug was introduced.  If you do that properly, then the commit will get
+-handled appropriately and most likely get put in the patchworks stable
+-queue if it really warrants it.
+-
+-If you think there is some valid information relating to it being in
+-stable that does *not* belong in the commit log, then use the three dash
+-marker line as described in
+-:ref:`Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst <the_canonical_patch_format>`
+-to temporarily embed that information into the patch that you send.
+-
+-Q: Are all networking bug fixes backported to all stable releases?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+-A: Due to capacity, Dave could only take care of the backports for the
+-last two stable releases. For earlier stable releases, each stable
+-branch maintainer is supposed to take care of them. If you find any
+-patch is missing from an earlier stable branch, please notify
+-stable@vger.kernel.org with either a commit ID or a formal patch
+-backported, and CC Dave and other relevant networking developers.
++Q: Are there special rules regarding stable submissions on netdev?
++---------------------------------------------------------------
++While it used to be the case that netdev submissions were not supposed
++to carry explicit ``CC: stable@vger.kernel.org`` tags that is no longer

+Subject: mount: fix mounting of detached mounts onto targets that reside on shared mounts
+
+From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>
+
+commit ee2e3f50629f17b0752b55b2566c15ce8dafb557 upstream.
+
+Creating a series of detached mounts, attaching them to the filesystem,
+and unmounting them can be used to trigger an integer overflow in
+ns->mounts causing the kernel to block any new mounts in count_mounts()
+and returning ENOSPC because it falsely assumes that the maximum number
+of mounts in the mount namespace has been reached, i.e. it thinks it
+can't fit the new mounts into the mount namespace anymore.
+
+Depending on the number of mounts in your system, this can be reproduced
+on any kernel that supportes open_tree() and move_mount() by compiling
+and running the following program:

+
+          exit(exit_code);
+  }
+
+and wait for the kernel to refuse any new mounts by returning ENOSPC.
+How many iterations are needed depends on the number of mounts in your
+system. Assuming you have something like 50 mounts on a standard system
+it should be almost instantaneous.
+
+The root cause of this is that detached mounts aren't handled correctly
+when source and target mount are identical and reside on a shared mount
+causing a broken mount tree where the detached source itself is
+propagated which propagation prevents for regular bind-mounts and new
+mounts. This ultimately leads to a miscalculation of the number of
+mounts in the mount namespace.
+
+Detached mounts created via
+open_tree(fd, path, OPEN_TREE_CLONE)
+are essentially like an unattached new mount, or an unattached
+bind-mount. They can then later on be attached to the filesystem via
+move_mount() which calls into attach_recursive_mount(). Part of
+attaching it to the filesystem is making sure that mounts get correctly
+propagated in case the destination mountpoint is MS_SHARED, i.e. is a
+shared mountpoint. This is done by calling into propagate_mnt() which
+walks the list of peers calling propagate_one() on each mount in this
+list making sure it receives the propagation event.
+The propagate_one() functions thereby skips both new mounts and bind
+mounts to not propagate them "into themselves". Both are identified by
+checking whether the mount is already attached to any mount namespace in
+mnt->mnt_ns. The is what the IS_MNT_NEW() helper is responsible for.
+
+However, detached mounts have an anonymous mount namespace attached to
+them stashed in mnt->mnt_ns which means that IS_MNT_NEW() doesn't
+realize they need to be skipped causing the mount to propagate "into
+itself" breaking the mount table and causing a disconnect between the
+number of mounts recorded as being beneath or reachable from the target
+mountpoint and the number of mounts actually recorded/counted in
+ns->mounts ultimately causing an overflow which in turn prevents any new
+mounts via the ENOSPC issue.
+
+So teach propagation to handle detached mounts by making it aware of
+them. I've been tracking this issue down for the last couple of days and
+then verifying that the fix is correct by
+unmounting everything in my current mount table leaving only /proc and
+/sys mounted and running the reproducer above overnight verifying the
+number of mounts counted in ns->mounts. With this fix the counts are
+correct and the ENOSPC issue can't be reproduced.
+
+This change will only have an effect on mounts created with the new
+mount API since detached mounts cannot be created with the old mount API
+so regressions are extremely unlikely.

+Subject: Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails"
+
+From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
+
+commit 9b1ea29bc0d7b94d420f96a0f4121403efc3dd85 upstream.
+
+This reverts commit 8ff60eb052eeba95cfb3efe16b08c9199f8121cf.
+
+The kernel test robot reports a huge performance regression due to the
+commit, and the reason seems fairly straightforward: when there is
+contention on the page list (which is what causes acquire_slab() to
+fail), we do _not_ want to just loop and try again, because that will
+transfer the contention to the 'n->list_lock' spinlock we hold, and
+just make things even worse.
+
+This is admittedly likely a problem only on big machines - the kernel
+test robot report comes from a 96-thread dual socket Intel Xeon Gold
+6252 setup, but the regression there really is quite noticeable:
+
+   -47.9% regression of stress-ng.rawpkt.ops_per_sec
+
+and the commit that was marked as being fixed (7ced37197196: "slub:
+Acquire_slab() avoid loop") actually did the loop exit early very
+intentionally (the hint being that "avoid loop" part of that commit
+message), exactly to avoid this issue.
+
+The correct thing to do may be to pick some kind of reasonable middle
+ground: instead of breaking out of the loop on the very first sign of
+contention, or trying over and over and over again, the right thing may
+be to re-try _once_, and then give up on the second failure (or pick
+your favorite value for "once"..).
