This patch adds support to process write calls passed by io_submit() asynchronously. It based on the previously introduced async context that allows to process i/o responses in a separate thread and return the caller immediately for asynchronous calls. This improves writing performance of single threaded applications with increasing of i/o queue depth size. Signed-off-by:

Currently the code doesn't recognize asynchronous calls passed by io_submit() and processes all calls synchronously. This is not what kernel AIO expects. This patch introduces a new async context that keeps track of all issued i/o requests and moves a response collecting procedure to a separate thread. This allows to return to a caller immediately for async calls and call iocb->ki_complete() once all requests are completed. For sync calls the current thread simply waits until all requests are completed. Signed-off-by:

When the IP address is gotten from the UNC, use only the address part of the UNC. Else all after the percent sign in an IPv6 link local address is interpreted as a scope id. This includes the slash and share name. A scope id is expected to be an integer and any trailing characters makes the conversion to integer fail. Example of mount command that fails: mount -i -t cifs //fe80::6a05:caff:fe3e:8ffc%2/test /mnt/t -o sec=none Signed-off-by:

Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt: "This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead code in drivers is the next step" Notes from previous discussion about this: "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all" That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32: mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture

Starting from gcc-5.4+ gcc generates MLX instructions in more cases to refer local symbols: https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60465 That caused ia64 module loader to choke on such instructions: fuse: invalid slot number 1 for IMM64 The Linux kernel used to handle only case where relocation pointed to slot=2 instruction in the bundle. That limitation was fixed in linux by commit 9c184a07 ("[IA64] Fix 2.6 kernel for the new ia64 assembler") See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433 This change lifts the slot=2 restriction from the kernel module loader. Tested on 'fuse' and 'btrfs' kernel modules.

Pull uaccess unification updates from Al Viro: "This is the uaccess unification pile. It's _not_ the end of uaccess work, but the next batch of that will go into the next cycle. This one mostly takes copy_from_user() and friends out of arch/* and gets the zero-padding behaviour in sync for all architectures. Dealing with the nocache/writethrough mess is for the next cycle; fortunately, that's x86-only. Same for cleanups in iov_iter.c (I am sold on access_ok() in there, BTW; just not in this pile), same for reducing __copy_... callsites, strn*... stuff, etc. - there will be a pile about as large as this one in the next merge window.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of other places. One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better. Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver. Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under tools/power/pm-graph/. The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization. Specifics: - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki). - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki). - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen). - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box). - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz). - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki). - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar, YuanTian Tang). - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy). - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd Brandt). - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver (David Wu). - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)" * tag 'pm-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (56 commits) PM / runtime: Document autosuspend-helper side effects PM / runtime: Fix autosuspend documentation tools: power: pm-graph: Package makefile and man pages tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeBoot v2.0 tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeSuspend v4.6 cpufreq: Add Tegra186 cpufreq driver cpufreq: imx6q: Fix error handling code cpufreq: imx6q: Set max suspend_freq to avoid changes during suspend cpufreq: imx6q: Fix handling EPROBE_DEFER from regulator cpuidle: powernv: Avoid a branch in the core snooze_loop() loop cpuidle: powernv: Don't continually set thread priority in snooze_loop() cpuidle: powernv: Don't bounce between low and very low thread priority cpuidle: cpuidle-cps: remove unused variable tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Adjust directory ownership cpufreq: schedutil: Use policy-dependent transition delays cpufreq: schedutil: Reduce frequencies slower PM / devfreq: Move struct devfreq_governor to devfreq directory PM / Domains: Ignore domain-idle-states that are not compatible cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add support for Gemini Lake powernv-cpuidle: Validate DT property array size ...
