      ext4: improve write performance with disabled delalloc · 8d5459c1
      Jan Kara authored 
      

When delayed allocation is disabled (either through mount option or
because we are running low on free space), ext4_write_begin() allocates
blocks with EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_IO_CREATE_EXT flag. With this flag extent
merging is disabled and since ext4_write_begin() is called for each page
separately, we end up with a *lot* of 1 block extents in the extent tree
and following writeback is writing 1 block at a time which results in
very poor write throughput (4 MB/s instead of 200 MB/s). These days when
ext4_get_block_unwritten() is used only by ext4_write_begin(),
ext4_page_mkwrite() and inline data conversion, we can safely allow
extent merging to happen from these paths since following writeback will
happen on different boundaries anyway. So use
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CREATE_UNRIT_EXT instead which restores the performance.

      Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree
   initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch.

   On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so
   this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy
   fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly
   more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point,
   when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is
   even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it.

   So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
   `static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
   this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
   prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
   it's practical.

 - A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.

 - A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
   seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.

   This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
   Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
   least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
   beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.

 - A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
   around the RNG.

 - A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
   I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
   (which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).

* tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
  wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding
  random: remove rng_has_arch_random()

      WMI queries fail on some devices where the ACPI method HWMC
unconditionally attempts to create Fields beyond the buffer
if the buffer is too small, this breaks essential features
such as power profiles:

         CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x10, D008)
         CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x11, D009)
         CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x12, D010)
         CreateDWordField (Arg1, 0x10, D032)
         CreateField (Arg1, 0x80, 0x0400, D128)

In cases where args->data had zero length, ACPI BIOS Error
(bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D008] at bit
offset/length 128/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (128 bits)
(20211217/dsopcode-198) was obtained.

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D009] at bit
offset/length 136/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (136bits)
(20211217/dsopcode-198)

The original code created a buffer size of 128 bytes regardless if
the WMI call required a smaller buffer or not.  This particular
behavior occurs in older BIOS and reproduced in OMEN laptops.  Newer
BIOS handles buffer sizes properly and meets the latest specification
requirements.  This is the reason why testing with a dynamically
allocated buffer did not uncover any failures with the test systems at
hand.

This patch was tested on several OMEN, Elite, and Zbooks.  It was
confirmed the patch resolves HPWMI_FAN GET/SET calls in an OMEN
Laptop 15-ek0xxx.  No problems were reported when testing on several Elite
and Zbooks notebooks.

      iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match · 1c27f1fc
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 6c776766

 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.

The reason is that we now do

    min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);

where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'.  As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'.  In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

  lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
  include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
     20 |         (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
        |                                   ^~
  lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
   1464 |         return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
        |                ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
  long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
  with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

  Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
  own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
  identical.

  So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
  environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
  and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]
