Tina Ruchandani 85cf955df8 aoe: use ktime_t instead of timeval
'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct
timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by
updates to system time. 'struct timeval' is deprecated because it uses
32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038.

This patch does the following:
- Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which
  is the recommended type for timestamping
- ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution
  (like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock
  time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time.

[updates by Arnd below]
The original patch from Tina never went anywhere as we discussed how
to keep the impact on performance minimal. I've started over now but
arrived at basically the same patch that she had originally, except for
an slightly improved tsince_hr() function. I'm making it more robust
against overflows, and also optimize explicitly for the common case
in which a frame is less than 4.2 seconds old, using only a 32-bit
division in that case.

This should make the new version more efficient than the old code,
since we replace the existing two 32-bit division in do_gettimeofday()
plus one multiplication with a single single 32-bit division in
tsince_hr() and drop the double bookkeeping. It's also more efficient
than the ktime_get_us() API we discussed before, since that would
also rely on multiple divisions.

Kees Cook 841b86f328 treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts
With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

Christoph Hellwig 2a842acab1 block: introduce new block status code type
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Michal Hocko 32d6bd9059 tree wide: get rid of __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 allocations part I
This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1].  I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree.  I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2.  I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.

Motivation:

While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree.  It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often.  It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.

I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear.  Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as

* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt

* _might_ fail.  This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
  while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic.  So one could
  reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
  for ever.  This is not implemented right now though.

I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.

  $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
  111
  $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
  36

So we are down to the third after this patch series.  The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests.  This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.

I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them.  Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though.  The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org

This patch (of 19):

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.  Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations.  This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).

Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places.  This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type.  They would try to handle it

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Joonsoo Kim fe896d1878 mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

Jeff Moyer 30e2bc08b2 Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap"
This reverts commit 34b48db66e.
That commit caused performance regressions for streaming I/O
workloads on a number of different storage devices, from
SATA disks to external RAID arrays.  It also managed to
trip up some buggy firmware in at least one drive, causing
data corruption.

The next patch will bump the default max_sectors_kb value to
1280, which will accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write
with chunk size 128k.  In the testing I've done using iozone,
fio, and aio-stress, a value of 1280 does not show a big
performance difference from 512.  This will hopefully still
help the software RAID setup that Christoph saw the original
performance gains with while still not regressing other
storage configurations.

Christoph Hellwig 4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

David Rientjes 668f9abbd4 mm: close PageTail race
Commit bf6bddf192 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page).

This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page).  Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page
pointer.

This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation.  This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling.  The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set.

This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.

Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

The aoe code no longer has to manually iterate over partial bvecs, so
some struct members go away - other struct members are effectively
renamed:

Kent Overstreet a4ad39b1d1 block: Convert bio_iovec() to bvec_iter
For immutable biovecs, we'll be introducing a new bio_iovec() that uses
our new bvec iterator to construct a biovec, taking into account
bvec_iter->bi_bvec_done - this patch updates existing users for the new
usage.

Some of the existing users really do need a pointer into the bvec array
- those uses are all going to be removed, but we'll need the
functionality from immutable to remove them - so for now rename the
existing bio_iovec() -> __bio_iovec(), and it'll be removed in a couple
patches.

Ed Cashin 190519cd30 aoe: create and destroy debugfs directory for aoe
This series adds the debugging information that the coraid.com-distributed
aoe driver exports via sysfs, but instead of sysfs, it uses debugfs.

With these patches applied, even without AoE targets on the network, KEDR
reports new possible memory leaks, but these are from callers outside the
aoe driver that have used aoe_devnode to get the name of the character
devices through the aoe_class->devnode callback, and I believe they're
responsible for freeing that memory.

This patch:

Create and destroy the debugfs directory.

Ed Cashin fb32975d1b aoe: adjust ref of head for compound page tails
Fix a BUG which can trigger when direct-IO is used with AOE.

As discussed previously, the fact that some users of the block layer
provide bios that point to pages with a zero _count means that it is not
OK for the network layer to do a put_page on the skb frags during an
skb_linearize, so the aoe driver gets a reference to pages in bios and
puts the reference before ending the bio.  And because it cannot use
get_page on a page with a zero _count, it manipulates the value
directly.

It is not OK to increment the _count of a compound page tail, though,
since the VM layer will VM_BUG_ON a non-zero _count.  Block users that
do direct I/O can result in the aoe driver seeing compound page tails in
bios.  In that case, the same logic works as long as the head of the
compound page is used instead of the tails.  This patch handles compound
pages and does not BUG.

It relies on the block layer user leaving the relationship between the
page tail and its head alone for the duration between the submission of
the bio and its completion, whether successful or not.

Some users have a large AoE target while others like to use many AoE

greatly improve aggregate throughput by allowing different threads to
complete the I/O associated with each target.  For 36 targets, 4 KiB read
throughput roughly doubles, for example, with these changes in place.

By default, the aoe driver uses any ethernet interface for AoE, but the
aoe_iflist module parameter provides a convenient way to limit AoE
traffic to a specific list of local network interfaces.

This change allows a list to be specified using the comma character as a
separator.  For example,

  modprobe aoe aoe_iflist=eth2,eth3

Before, it was inconvenient to get the quoting right in shell scripts
when setting aoe_iflist to have more than one network interface.

Ed Cashin c450ba0fc1 aoe: allow user to disable target failure timeout
With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for
the aoe_deadsecs module parameter.  Normally, this value specifies the
number of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt
retransmits to an unresponsive AoE target.  After aoe_deadsecs has
elapsed, the aoe driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all
I/O.

The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to
retransmit commands indefinitely.
