extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.

Pull rdma qedr RoCE driver from Doug Ledford:
"Early on in the merge window I mentioned I had a backlog of new
drivers waiting to be reviewed and that, in addition to the hns-roce
driver, I wanted to get possible a couple more reviewed. I ended up
only having the time to complete one of the additional drivers.
During Dave Miller's pull request this go around, there were a series
of 9 patches to the QLogic qed net driver that add basic support for a
paired RoCE driver. That support is currently not functional because
it is missing the matching RoCE driver in the RDMA subsystem. I
managed to finish that review. However, because it goes against part
of Dave's net pull, and a part that was accepted a day or two after
the merge window opened, to apply cleanly it has to be applied to
either the tip of Dave's net branch, or as I did in this case, I just
applied it to your master after you had taken Dave's pull request."

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle. This
pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.
Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.
What it is:
At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.
Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.
We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
extents.
Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.
With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
.clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.
As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
with this code in it is released.
The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
functionality we've previously added to XFS.
Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
during review) for the effort they've also put in.
Summary:
- unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate
- copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
interface
- shared extent support for XFS
- copy-on-write support for shared extents
- copy_file_range support
- clone_file_range support (implements reflink)
- dedupe_file_range support
- defrag support for reverse mapping enabled filesystems"

Problem is that this is doing a BUILD_BUG_ON on a non-constant
expression because of trying to take offset of pas[i] in the
structure.
Fix is to create MLX5_ARRAY_SET64 that takes an additional argument
that is the field index to separate between BUILD_BUG_ON on the array
constant field and the indexed field to assign the value to.
There are two callers of MLX5_SET64 that are trying to get a variable
offset, change those to call MLX5_ARRAY_SET64 passing 'pas' and 'i'
as the arguments to use in the offset check and the indexed value
assignment.

mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag.
It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used
to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific.
Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it
also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is
reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can
be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.
To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick
it right after private_lock because we have a hole there.

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.
It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.
I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags
parameter but I believe that we will want more flags
in the future.
Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member
in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the
basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge
the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.
This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.
A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.
First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.
Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.
Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.
Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.
The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.
In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.
In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.
A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
parameter.
This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.
They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that
we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.
The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.
The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier.
kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.
This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread
worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the
worker.
IMPORTANT:
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it
is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
"helper/%d", cpu).
To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
even errors on different architectures.
There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the
least ugly.

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements"
The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and
maintain kthreads. Especially, I want to replace all the custom main
cycles with a generic one. Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a
consistent state in a common place when there is no work.
This patch (of 11):
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the
subsystem.
This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data(). The other wrong
functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed
separately.

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.
The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:
kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_phys
The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.

KASLR memory randomization can randomize the base of the physical memory
mapping (PAGE_OFFSET), vmalloc (VMALLOC_START) and vmemmap
(VMEMMAP_START). Adding these variables on VMCOREINFO so tools can easily
identify the base of each memory section.

Commit 6d07b68ce1 ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a
race:
sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations.
There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel:
- a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held)
- a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0)
As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current
checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details
(or kernel bugzilla 105651).
The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode)
that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible.
The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking.
With regards to stable kernels:
The patch is required for all kernels that include the
commit 6d07b68ce1 ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?)
The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race.
The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions
about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait().
Background:
Here is the race of the current implementation:
Thread A: (simple op)
- does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test
Thread B: (complex op)
- does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't
find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet.
- the thread does the operation, increases complex_count,
drops sem_lock, sleeps
Thread A:
- spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock)
- sleeps before the complex_count test
Thread C: (complex op)
- does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1)
- wakes up Thread B.
- decrements complex_count
Thread A:
- does the complex_count test
Bug:
Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without
any synchronization.

Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of
readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the
context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to
prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is
generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock.
The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for
delegating the wakeup to another context.

relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work
relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers
when a simple timer will do.
Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup
causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes
relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the
data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting
filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every
newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub
buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap
between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub
buffers to store the new data.
By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked
in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer
tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes
relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use
irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.
