sync_file_range(2) is documented to issue writeback only for pages that
are not currently being written. After all the system call has been
created for userspace to be able to issue background writeout and so
waiting for in-flight IO is undesirable there. However commit
ee53a891f4 ("mm: do_sync_mapping_range integrity fix") switched
do_sync_mapping_range() and thus sync_file_range() to issue writeback in
WB_SYNC_ALL mode since do_sync_mapping_range() was used by other code
relying on WB_SYNC_ALL semantics.
These days do_sync_mapping_range() went away and we can switch
sync_file_range(2) back to issuing WB_SYNC_NONE writeback. That should
help PostgreSQL avoid large latency spikes when flushing data in the
background.

There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more

Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and

Andrew stated the following
We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using
weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend
to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the
interface.
And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as
a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and
decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff?
This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM

bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It
will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate
some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

The primary purpose of watermarks is to ensure that reclaim can always
make forward progress in PF_MEMALLOC context (kswapd and direct reclaim).
These assume that order-0 allocations are all that is necessary for
forward progress.
High-order watermarks serve a different purpose. Kswapd had no high-order
awareness before they were introduced
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/413AA7B2.4000907@yahoo.com.au). This was
particularly important when there were high-order atomic requests. The
watermarks both gave kswapd awareness and made a reserve for those atomic
requests.
There are two important side-effects of this. The most important is that
a non-atomic high-order request can fail even though free pages are
available and the order-0 watermarks are ok. The second is that
high-order watermark checks are expensive as the free list counts up to
the requested order must be examined.
With the introduction of MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC it is no longer necessary to
have high-order watermarks. Kswapd and compaction still need high-order
awareness which is handled by checking that at least one suitable
high-order page is free.
With the patch applied, there was little difference in the allocation
failure rates as the atomic reserves are small relative to the number of
allocation attempts. The expected impact is that there will never be an
allocation failure report that shows suitable pages on the free lists.
The one potential side-effect of this is that in a vanilla kernel, the
watermark checks may have kept a free page for an atomic allocation. Now,
we are 100% relying on the HighAtomic reserves and an early allocation to
have allocated them. If the first high-order atomic allocation is after
the system is already heavily fragmented then it'll fail.

High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order
awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests. Historically the
kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as
high-order free pages for as long as possible. This patch introduces
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic
allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0
allocations. This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was.
A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order
allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of
the zone. Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for
long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail.
Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least
once. It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable
high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there
would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an
ideal candidate.
The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct
reclaim attempt.
The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the
allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation.
The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations. This may
allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock.
This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a
limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system
requires them.
The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running
there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order
page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC. This
is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be
realistic. It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an
unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without
introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than
regular allocations. The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the
workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure.
The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows;
4.2-rc5-vanilla 70%
4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve 56%
The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels. The
failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied.
Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to
the number of allocation requests. In early versions of the patch, the
failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger
reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than
regular allocations.

MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves an old property of the buddy allocator that
existed prior to fragmentation avoidance -- min_free_kbytes worth of pages
tended to remain contiguous until the only alternative was to fail the
allocation. At the time it was discovered that high-order atomic
allocations relied on this property so MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced. A
later patch will introduce an alternative MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC so this patch
deletes MIGRATE_RESERVE and supporting code so it'll be easier to review.
Note that this patch in isolation may look like a false regression if
someone was bisecting high-order atomic allocation failures.

The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were
recently known to be full. This avoided expensive operations such as the
cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim. The situation
today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify.
1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general
are a lot cheaper.
2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large
source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's
known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's
unwise to hit every other user with the overhead.
3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order
allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost
of the watermark checking.
4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it
is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0
allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes.
The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the
benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it. If stalls due
to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to
introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself
and leave the page allocator fast paths alone.
The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't
hit the paths where the zlc comes into play. Most page-reclaim related
workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal.
The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter". One part uses a
lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies
a large file. In an ideal world the latency application would not notice
the mmap latency. On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are

Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is
still bad but an improvement. The milage varies considerably 2-node
machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a
4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a
worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms. The nature of the benchmark
is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage
will vary between machines.
There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because
zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc. In this
particular test run it did not occur so will not be described. However,
in at least one test the following was observed
1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim
being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping.
Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more
progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then
the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue
and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even
worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait().
2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active.
3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more
scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be
immediately reclaimed
In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but
it is not considered a problem for a few reasons
1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also
faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could
cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead
of reclaiming. This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but
it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested.
2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful
THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a
realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity.
3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem.
4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it
should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until
woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before
when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision
but happened to benefit some workloads.
If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it
should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue
until woken by kswapd.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which
was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is
done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks.
The series starts with minor micro-optimisations.
Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused.
__GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could
access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply
prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes
between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish
to avoid sleep.
The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious
merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The
most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to
be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim
activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not
worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations
on top before examining GFP flags watermarks.
High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail
even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order
atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is
a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series
uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order
allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd
awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this
series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the
properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks.
This patch (of 10):
No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch
removes the unnecessary parameter.

userspace utilities to change the file system's UUID without rewriting

A number of miscellaneous fixes, the most significant of which are in
the ext4 encryption support. Anyone wishing to use the encryption
feature should backport all of the ext4 crypto patches up to 4.4 to
get fixes to a memory leak and file system corruption bug.
There are also cleanups in ext4's feature test macros and in ext4's
sysfs support code.

UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.
This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.
Fixes:
- crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
- broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
are relayed instead.
- kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
- tcp behaviour especially under load
- various timer related corner cases
Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge window
opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
options are global)
o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
pids.

in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone for future
development. There's only one ugly case of this left in the tree (that
we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the problems there.

one is also marked for -stable.
* ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user space

* Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree structure

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
"Core:
- WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple
times; in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone
for future development. There's only one ugly case of this left in
the tree (that we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the
problems there.
- fix potential deadlock in the blkdev removal path NOTE: the
(potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch. This
one is also marked for -stable.
- ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user
space vs 64-bit kernel space
- Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree
structure appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing
this (soft) requirement
- Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions'
subnode; this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition
or some other auxiliary data
- Improve error handling for partitioning failures
NAND:
- General: Increase timeout period, for corner-case systems with
less-than-accurate jiffies
- Fix OF-based autoloading of several NAND drivers when built as
modules
- pxa3xx_nand:
- Rework timing configuration to be more dynamic
- Refactor PM support
- brcmnand: prepare for NorthStar 2 support (ARM64, 16-bit NAND
chips)
- sunxi_nand: refactoring and a few bug fixes
- vf610: new NAND driver
- FSMC: add SW BCH support; support common NAND DT bindings
- lpc32xx_slc: refactor and improve timing calculations logic
- denali: support for rev 5.1
SPI NOR:
- Layering improvements
- Added Winbond lock/unlock support
- Added mtd_is_locked() (i.e., ioctl(MEMISLOCKED)) support
- Increase full-chip-erase timeout linearly with flash size
- fsl-quadspi: fix compile for non-ARM architectures
- New flash support"

Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.
Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
in addition to the new stuff as usual.
The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices. It gained lots
of new device support, and MIDI functionality. Also there are updates
for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
skylake), too. But overall, this update should give no big surprise.
Some highlight is below:
Core:
- A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
so normal user should't be bothered :)
- Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
- Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks
Firewire:
- Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
- Support AMDTP variants
- New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
- Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
- Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices
HD-Audio:
- Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
- Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
- A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
- Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
- Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
- Intel Lewisburg controller support
ASoC:
- Updates to the topology userspace interface
- Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
- More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
- New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier
USB-Audio:
- A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
- Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device
Misc:
- A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
- Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards

Commit b158b69a37 ("mfd: rtsx: Simplify function return logic")
removed the use of the 'err' variable, but left the variable itself
around, resulting in gcc quite reasonably warning:
drivers/mfd/rtsx_pcr.c: In function ‘rtsx_pci_set_pull_ctl’:
drivers/mfd/rtsx_pcr.c:565:6: warning: unused variable ‘err’ [-Wunused-variable]
int err;
^
Get rid of the unused variable, and avoid the new warning.

There are multiple types of users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call:
(1) A while back, the cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} chip drivers implemented a
reboot notifier to (on a best effort basis) attempt to reset their flash
chips before rebooting.
(2) More recently, we implemented a common _reboot() hook so that MTD
drivers (particularly, NAND flash) could better halt I/O operations
without having to reimplement the same notifier boilerplate.
Currently, the WARN_ONCE() condition here was written to handle (2), but
at the same time it mis-diagnosed case (1) as an already-registered MTD.
Let's fix this by having the WARN_ONCE() condition better imitate the
condition that immediately follows it. (Wow, I don't know how I missed
that one.)
(Side note: Unfortunately, we can't yet combine the reboot notifier code
for (1) and (2) with a patch like [1], because some users of (1) also
use mtdconcat, and so the mtd_info struct from cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} won't
actually get registered with mtdcore, and therefore their reboot
notifier won't get registered.)
