      ext4: Allow parallel DIO reads · 16c54688
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      We can easily support parallel direct IO reads. We only have to make
      sure we cannot expose uninitialized data by reading allocated block to
      which data was not written yet, or which was already truncated. That is
      easily achieved by holding inode_lock in shared mode - that excludes all
      writes, truncates, hole punches. We also have to guard against page
      writeback allocating blocks for delay-allocated pages - that race is
      handled by the fact that we writeback all the pages in the affected
      range and the lock protects us from new pages being created there.

      ext4: bugfix for mmaped pages in mpage_release_unused_pages() · 4e800c03
      wangguang authored
      
      
      Pages clear buffers after ext4 delayed block allocation failed,
      However, it does not clean its pte_dirty flag.
      if the pages unmap ,in cording to the pte_dirty ,
      unmap_page_range may try to call __set_page_dirty,
      
      which may lead to the bugon at 
      mpage_prepare_extent_to_map:head = page_buffers(page);.
      
      This patch just call clear_page_dirty_for_io to clean pte_dirty 
      at mpage_release_unused_pages for pages mmaped. 
      
      Steps to reproduce the bug:
      
      (1) mmap a file in ext4
      	addr = (char *)mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
      	       	            fd, 0);
      	memset(addr, 'i', 4096);
      
      (2) return EIO at 
      
      	ext4_writepages->mpage_map_and_submit_extent->mpage_map_one_extent 
      
      which causes this log message to be print:
      
                      ext4_msg(sb, KERN_CRIT,
                              "Delayed block allocation failed for "
                              "inode %lu at logical offset %llu with"
                              " max blocks %u with error %d",
                              inode->i_ino,
                              (unsigned long long)map->m_lblk,
                              (unsigned)map->m_len, -err);
      
      (3)Unmap the addr cause warning at
      
      	__set_page_dirty:WARN_ON_ONCE(warn && !PageUptodate(page));
      
      (4) wait for a minute,then bugon happen.

      ext4: improve ext4lazyinit scalability · e22834f0
      Dmitry Monakhov authored
      
      
      ext4lazyinit is a global thread. This thread performs itable
      initalization under li_list_mtx mutex.
      
      It basically does the following:
      ext4_lazyinit_thread
        ->mutex_lock(&eli->li_list_mtx);
        ->ext4_run_li_request(elr)
          ->ext4_init_inode_table-> Do a lot of IO if the list is large
      
      And when new mount/umount arrive they have to block on ->li_list_mtx
      because  lazy_thread holds it during full walk procedure.
      ext4_fill_super
       ->ext4_register_li_request
         ->mutex_lock(&ext4_li_info->li_list_mtx);
         ->list_add(&elr->lr_request, &ext4_li_info >li_request_list);
      In my case mount takes 40minutes on server with 36 * 4Tb HDD.
      Common user may face this in case of very slow dev ( /dev/mmcblkXXX)
      Even more. If one of filesystems was frozen lazyinit_thread will simply
      block on sb_start_write() so other mount/umount will be stuck forever.
      
      This patch changes logic like follows:
      - grab ->s_umount read sem before processing new li_request.
        After that it is safe to drop li_list_mtx because all callers of
        li_remove_request are holding ->s_umount for write.
      - li_thread skips frozen SB's
      
      Locking order:
      Mh KOrder is asserted by umount path like follows: s_umount ->li_list_mtx so
      the only way to to grab ->s_mount inside li_thread is via down_read_trylock

      ext4: reinforce check of i_dtime when clearing high fields of uid and gid · 93e3b4e6
      Daeho Jeong authored
      
      
      Now, ext4_do_update_inode() clears high 16-bit fields of uid/gid
      of deleted and evicted inode to fix up interoperability with old
      kernels. However, it checks only i_dtime of an inode to determine
      whether the inode was deleted and evicted, and this is very risky,
      because i_dtime can be used for the pointer maintaining orphan inode
      list, too. We need to further check whether the i_dtime is being
      used for the orphan inode list even if the i_dtime is not NULL.
      
      We found that high 16-bit fields of uid/gid of inode are unintentionally
      and permanently cleared when the inode truncation is just triggered,
      but not finished, and the inode metadata, whose high uid/gid bits are
      cleared, is written on disk, and the sudden power-off follows that
      in order.

      ext4: enforce online defrag restriction for encrypted files · 14fbd4aa
      Eric Whitney authored
      
      
      Online defragging of encrypted files is not currently implemented.
      However, the move extent ioctl can still return successfully when
      called.  For example, this occurs when xfstest ext4/020 is run on an
      encrypted file system, resulting in a corrupted test file and a
      corresponding test failure.
      
      Until the proper functionality is implemented, fail the move extent
      ioctl if either the original or donor file is encrypted.

      ext4: fixup free space calculations when expanding inodes · e3014d14
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      Conditions checking whether there is enough free space in an xattr block
      and when xattr is large enough to make enough space in the inode forgot
      to account for the fact that inode need not be completely filled up with
      xattrs. Thus we could move unnecessarily many xattrs out of inode or
      even falsely claim there is not enough space to expand the inode. We
      also forgot to update the amount of free space in xattr block when moving
      more xattrs and thus could decide to move too big xattr resulting in
      unexpected failure.
      
      Fix these problems by properly updating free space in the inode and
      xattr block as we move xattrs. To simplify the math, avoid shifting
      xattrs after removing each one xattr and instead just shift xattrs only
      once there is enough free space in the inode.

      The Kconfig entry controlling compilation of this code is:

      drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:   bool "Intel PMIC GPIO support"
      
      ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
      
      Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
      when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
      
      We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
      was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.
      
      We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.

      net: smc91x: fix SMC accesses · 2fb04fdf
      Russell King authored
      Commit b70661c7 ("net: smc91x: use run-time configuration on all ARM
      machines") broke some ARM platforms through several mistakes.  Firstly,
      the access size must correspond to the following rule:
      
      (a) at least one of 16-bit or 8-bit access size must be supported
      (b) 32-bit accesses are optional, and may be enabled in addition to
          the above.
      
      Secondly, it provides no emulation of 16-bit accesses, instead blindly
      making 16-bit accesses even when the platform specifies that only 8-bit
      is supported.
      
      Reorganise smc91x.h so we can make use of the existing 16-bit access
      emulation already provided - if 16-bit accesses are supported, use
      16-bit accesses directly, otherwise if 8-bit accesses are supported,
      use the provided 16-bit access emulation.  If neither, BUG().  This
      exactly reflects the driver behaviour prior to the commit being fixed.
      
      Since the conversion incorrectly cut down the available access sizes on
      several platforms, we also need to go through every platform and fix up
      the overly-restrictive access size: Arnd assumed that if a platform can
      perform 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit accesses, then only a 32-bit access
      size needed to be specified - not so, all available access sizes must
      be specified.
      
      This likely fixes some performance regressions in doing this: if a
      platform does not support 8-bit accesses, 8-bit accesses have been
      emulated by performing a 16-bit read-modify-write access.
      
      Tested on the Intel Assabet/Neponset platform, which supports only 8-bit
      accesses, which was broken by the original commit.

      ====================
      Mellanox 100G mlx5 fixes 2016-08-29
      
      This series contains some bug fixes for the mlx5 core and mlx5
      ethernet driver.
      
      From Saeed, Fix UMR to consider hardware translation table field
      size limitation when calculating the maximum number of MTTs required
      by the driver.  Three patches to speed-up netdevice close time by
      serializing channel (SQs & RQs) destruction rather than issuing and
      waiting for hardware interrupts to free them.
      
      From Eran, Fix ethtool ring parameter reporting for striding RQ layout.
      Add error prints on ETS validation failure.
      
      From Kamal, Fix memory leak on error flow.
      
      From Maor, Fix ethtool steering priorities number.
