      Pull idmapping documentation updates from Christian Brauner:
       "The bulk of the idmapped work this cycle was adding support for
        idmapped mounts to btrfs.
      
        While this required the addition of a (simple) new vfs helper all the
        work is going through David Sterba's btrfs tree. It was way simpler to
        do it this way rather then forcing David to coordinate between his
        btrfs and my tree. Plus I don't care who merges it as long as I feel I
        can trust the maintainer and the btrfs folks were really fast and
        helpful in reviewing this work.
      
        As always, associated with the btrfs port for idmapped mounts is a new
        fstests extension specifically concerned with btrfs ioctls (e.g.
        subvolume creation, deletion etc.) on idmapped mounts which can be
        found in the fstests repo as 5f8179ce8b00 ("btrfs: introduce btrfs
        specific idmapped mounts tests").
      
        Consequently, this cycle the idmapping pull is boring. It only
        contains documentation updates, specifically about how idmappings and
        idmapped mounts work"

      Pull close_range() cleanup from Christian Brauner:
       "This is a cleanup for close_range() which was sent as part of a bugfix
        we did some time ago in commit 9b5b8722 ("file: fix close_range()
        for unshare+cloexec").
      
        We used to share more code between some helpers for close_range()
        which made retrieving the maximum number of open fds before calling
        into the helpers sensible. But with the introduction of
        CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC and the need to retrieve the number of maximum fds
        once more for CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC that stopped making sense. So the
        code was in a dumb in-limbo state.
      
        Fix this by simplifying the code a bit.
      
        The original idea was to only fix the bug itself and make backporting
        easy. And since the cleanup wasn't very pressing I left it in
        linux-next for a very long time. I didn't pull the patches from the
        list again back then which is why they don't have lore-links. So I'm

       "This contains an extension to the move_mount() syscall making it
        possible to add a single private mount into an existing propagation
        tree.
      
        The use-case comes from the criu folks which have been struggling with
        restoring complex mount trees for a long time. Variations of this work
        have been discussed at Plumbers before, e.g.
      
            https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/640/
      
        The extension to move_mount() enables criu to restore any set of mount
        namespaces, mount trees and sharing group trees without introducing
        yet more complexity into mount propagation itself.
      
        The changes required to criu to make use of this and restore complex
        propagation trees are available at
      
            https://github.com/Snorch/criu/commits/mount-v2-poc

      Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
       "The most notable externally visible change for this cycle is the
        addition of support for reads to inline tail fragments of files, which
        was requested by the erofs developers; and a correction for a kernel
        memory corruption bug if the sysadmin tries to activate a swapfile
        with more pages than the swapfile header suggests.
      
        We also now report writeback completion errors to the file mapping
        correctly, instead of munging all errors into EIO.
      
        Internally, the bulk of the changes are Christoph's patchset to reduce
        the indirect function call count by a third to a half by converting
        iomap iteration from a loop pattern to a generator/consumer pattern.
        As an added bonus, fsdax no longer open-codes iomap apply loops.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Simplify the bio_end_page usage in the buffered IO code.
      
         - Support reading inline data at nonzero offsets for erofs.
      
         - Fix some typos and bad grammar.
      
         - Convert kmap_atomic usage in the inline data read path.
      
         - Add some extra inline data input checking.
      
         - Fix a memory corruption bug stemming from iomap_swapfile_activate
           trying to activate more pages than mm was expecting.
      
         - Pass errnos through the page writeback code so that writeback
           errors are reported correctly instead of being munged to EIO.
      
         - Replace iomap_apply with a open-coded iterator loops to reduce the
           number of indirect calls by a third to a half.
      
         - Refactor the fsdax code to use iomap iterators instead of the
           open-coded iomap_apply code that it had before.

      Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
       "The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
        idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
        and cleanups.
      
        There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
        interfaces, all straightforward and acked.
      
        Features:
      
         - fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
           read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity
      
         - idmapped mount support
      
         - make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
           trees
      
         - allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
           degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
           conversion to other profiles
      
         - zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob
      
        Performance improvements:
      
         - continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
           memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)
      
         - batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files
      
         - fsync/tree-log speedups
             - avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
               sample load)
             - reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
               up to -30% latency)
      
        Fixes:
      
         - various zoned mode fixes
      
         - preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
           almost full filesystems
      
        Core:
      
         - continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
           features like compression and defragmentation; with some
           limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
           sectors, still considered experimental
             - no readahead on compressed reads
             - inline extents disabled
             - disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount
      
         - improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads
      
         - inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
           incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity
      
         - new tree items for fs-verity
             - descriptor item
             - Merkle tree item
      
         - inode operations extended to be namespace-aware
      
         - cleanups and refactoring
      
        Generic code changes:
      
         - fs: new export filemap_fdatawrite_wbc
      
         - fs: removed sync_inode
      
         - block: bio_trim argument type fixups
      
         - vfs: add namespace-aware lookup"

      Pull initial ksmbd implementation from Steve French:
       "Initial merge of kernel smb3 file server, ksmbd.
      
        The SMB family of protocols is the most widely deployed network
        filesystem protocol, the default on Windows and Macs (and even on many
        phones and tablets), with clients and servers on all major operating
        systems, but lacked a kernel server for Linux. For many cases the
        current userspace server choices were suboptimal either due to memory
        footprint, performance or difficulty integrating well with advanced
        Linux features.
      
        ksmbd is a new kernel module which implements the server-side of the
        SMB3 protocol. The target is to provide optimized performance, GPLv2
        SMB server, and better lease handling (distributed caching). The
        bigger goal is to add new features more rapidly (e.g. RDMA aka
        "smbdirect", and recent encryption and signing improvements to the
        protocol) which are easier to develop on a smaller, more tightly
        optimized kernel server than for example in Samba.
      
        The Samba project is much broader in scope (tools, security services,
        LDAP, Active Directory Domain Controller, and a cross platform file
        server for a wider variety of purposes) but the user space file server
        portion of Samba has proved hard to optimize for some Linux workloads,
        including for smaller devices.
      
        This is not meant to replace Samba, but rather be an extension to
        allow better optimizing for Linux, and will continue to integrate well
        with Samba user space tools and libraries where appropriate. Working
        with the Samba team we have already made sure that the configuration
        files and xattrs are in a compatible format between the kernel and
        user space server.
      
        Various types of functional and regression tests are regularly run
        against it. One example is the automated 'buildbot' regression tests
        which use the Linux client to test against ksmbd, e.g.
      
           http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/8/builds/56
      
        but other test suites, including Samba's smbtorture functional test
        suite are also used regularly"

        This is a stop gap for potential future speculation related hardware

        applications.
      
        It allows a task to request that the L1D cache is flushed when the

         - Make the handling consistent with other mitigations

      Pull locking and atomics updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "The regular pile:
      
         - A few improvements to the mutex code
      
         - Documentation updates for atomics to clarify the difference between
           cmpxchg() and try_cmpxchg() and to explain the forward progress
           expectations.
      
         - Simplification of the atomics fallback generator
      
         - The addition of arch_atomic_long*() variants and generic arch_*()
           bitops based on them.
      
         - Add the missing might_sleep() invocations to the down*() operations
           of semaphores.
      
        The PREEMPT_RT locking core:
      
         - Scheduler updates to support the state preserving mechanism for
           'sleeping' spin- and rwlocks on RT.
      
           This mechanism is carefully preserving the state of the task when
           blocking on a 'sleeping' spin- or rwlock and takes regular wake-ups
           targeted at the same task into account. The preserved or updated
           (via a regular wakeup) state is restored when the lock has been
           acquired.
      
         - Restructuring of the rtmutex code so it can be utilized and
           extended for the RT specific lock variants.
      
         - Restructuring of the ww_mutex code to allow sharing of the ww_mutex
           specific functionality for rtmutex based ww_mutexes.
      
         - Header file disentangling to allow substitution of the regular lock
           implementations with the PREEMPT_RT variants without creating an
           unmaintainable #ifdef mess.
      
         - Shared base code for the PREEMPT_RT specific rw_semaphore and
           rwlock implementations.
      
           Contrary to the regular rw_semaphores and rwlocks the PREEMPT_RT
           implementation is writer unfair because it is infeasible to do
           priority inheritance on multiple readers. Experience over the years
           has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads
           which are sensitive to writer starvation.
      
           The alternative solution would be to allow only a single reader
           which has been tried and discarded as it is a major bottleneck
           especially for mmap_sem. Aside of that many of the writer
           starvation critical usage sites have been converted to a writer
           side mutex/spinlock and RCU read side protections in the past
           decade so that the issue is less prominent than it used to be.
      
         - The actual rtmutex based lock substitutions for PREEMPT_RT enabled
           kernels which affect mutex, ww_mutex, rw_semaphore, spinlock_t and
           rwlock_t. The spin/rw_lock*() functions disable migration across
           the critical section to preserve the existing semantics vs per-CPU
           variables.
      
         - Rework of the futex REQUEUE_PI mechanism to handle the case of
           early wake-ups which interleave with a re-queue operation to
           prevent the situation that a task would be blocked on both the
           rtmutex associated to the outer futex and the rtmutex based hash
           bucket spinlock.
      
           While this situation cannot happen on !RT enabled kernels the
           changes make the underlying concurrency problems easier to
           understand in general. As a result the difference between !RT and
           RT kernels is reduced to the handling of waiting for the critical
           section. !RT kernels simply spin-wait as before and RT kernels
           utilize rcu_wait().
      
         - The substitution of local_lock for PREEMPT_RT with a spinlock which
           protects the critical section while staying preemptible. The CPU
           locality is established by disabling migration.
      
        The underlying concepts of this code have been in use in PREEMPT_RT for
        way more than a decade. The code has been refactored several times over
        the years and this final incarnation has been optimized once again to be
        as non-intrusive as possible, i.e. the RT specific parts are mostly
        isolated.
      
        It has been extensively tested in the 5.14-rt patch series and it has
        been verified that !RT kernels are not affected by these changes"

      Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
      
       - The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric
         scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks
         on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs.
      
         Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own
         task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make
         sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.
      
         (The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)
      
         For other architectures there will be no change in functionality.
      
       - Add cgroup SCHED_IDLE support
      
       - Increase node-distance flexibility & delay determining it until a CPU
         is brought online. (This enables platforms where node distance isn't
         final until the CPU is only.)
      
       - Deadline scheduler enhancements & fixes
      
       - Misc fixes & cleanups.
