      afs_mkdir(), afs_create(), afs_link() and afs_symlink() all need to drop
      the target dentry if a signal causes the operation to be killed immediately
      before we try to contact the server.

      afs: Fix some dentry handling in dir ops and missing key_puts · bc1527dc
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Fix some of dentry handling in AFS directory ops:
      
       (1) Do d_drop() on the new_dentry before assigning a new inode to it in
           afs_vnode_new_inode().  It's fine to do this before calling afs_iget()
           because the operation has taken place on the server.
      
       (2) Replace d_instantiate()/d_rehash() with d_add().
      
       (3) Don't d_drop() the new_dentry in afs_rename() on error.
      
      Also fix afs_link() and afs_rename() to call key_put() on all error paths
      where the key is taken.

      afs: Make afs_write_begin() avoid writing to a page that's being stored · 5a039c32
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Make afs_write_begin() wait for a page that's marked PG_writeback because:
      
       (1) We need to avoid interference with the data being stored so that the
           data on the server ends up in a defined state.
      
       (2) page->private is used to track the window of dirty data within a page,
           but it's also used by the storage code to track what's being written,
           being cleared by the completion notification.  Ownership can't be
           relinquished by the storage code until completion because it a store
           fails, the data must be remarked dirty.
      
      Tracing shows something like the following (edited):
      
       x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-125
          kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store+ 0-125
       x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-2052
          kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 clear 0-2052
          kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store 0-0
          kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 WARN 0-0
      
      The clear (completion) corresponding to the store+ (store continuation from
      a previous page) happens between the second begin (afs_write_begin) and the
      store corresponding to that.  This results in the second store not seeing
      any data to write back, leading to the following warning:

      afs: Fix file locking · 0fafdc9f
      David Howells authored
      Fix the AFS file locking whereby the use of the big kernel lock (which
      could be slept with) was replaced by a spinlock (which couldn't).  The
      problem is that the AFS code was doing stuff inside the critical section
      that might call schedule(), so this is a broken transformation.
      
      Fix this by the following means:
      
       (1) Use a state machine with a proper state that can only be changed under
           the spinlock rather than using a collection of bit flags.
      
       (2) Cache the key used for the lock and the lock type in the afs_vnode
           struct so that the manager work function doesn't have to refer to a
           file_lock struct that's been dequeued.  This makes signal handling
           safer.
      
       (4) Move the unlock from afs_do_unlk() to afs_fl_release_private() which
           means that unlock is achieved in other circumstances too.
      
       (5) Unlock the file on the server before taking the next conflicting lock.
      
      Also change:
      
       (1) Check the permits on a file before actually trying the lock.
      
       (2) fsync the file before effecting an explicit unlock operation.  We
           don't fsync if the lock is erased otherwise as we might not be in a
           context where we can actually do that.
      
      Further fixes:
      
       (1) Fixed-fileserver address rotation is made to work.  It's only used by
           the locking functions, so couldn't be tested before.
      
      Fixes: 72f98e72

      Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
       "This branch contains platform-related driver updates for ARM and
        ARM64, these are the areas that bring the changes:
      
        New drivers:
      
         - driver support for Renesas R-Car V3M (R8A77970)
      
         - power management support for Amlogic GX
      
         - a new driver for the Tegra BPMP thermal sensor
      
         - a new bus driver for Technologic Systems NBUS
      
        Changes for subsystems that prefer to merge through arm-soc:
      
         - the usual updates for reset controller drivers from Philipp Zabel,
           with five added drivers for SoCs in the arc, meson, socfpa,
           uniphier and mediatek families
      
         - updates to the ARM SCPI and PSCI frameworks, from Sudeep Holla,
           Heiner Kallweit and Lorenzo Pieralisi
      
        Changes specific to some ARM-based SoC
      
         - the Freescale/NXP DPAA QBMan drivers from PowerPC can now work on
           ARM as well
      
         - several changes for power management on Broadcom SoCs
      
         - various improvements on Qualcomm, Broadcom, Amlogic, Atmel,
           Mediatek
      
         - minor Cleanups for Samsung, TI OMAP SoCs"
      
      [ NOTE! This doesn't work without the previous ARM SoC device-tree pull,
        because the R8A77970 driver is missing a header file that came from
        that pull.
      
        The fact that this got merged afterwards only fixes it at this point,
        and bisection of that driver will fail if/when you walk into the
        history of that driver.           - Linus ]

        Two new SoC platforms get added this time:
      
         - Allwinner R40 is a modernized version of the A20 chip, now with a
           Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A7. According to the manufacturer, it is

           chips meant for managed gigabit ethernet switches, based around a
           Cortex-A9 CPU.

      Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
       "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
        KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
        think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
      
        Non-highlights:
      
         - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
           in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
           with x86.
      
        Highlights:
      
         - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
           true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
      
         - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
      
         - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
           can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
      
         - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
           to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
      
         - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
           some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
      
         - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
           some Power9 revisions.
      
         - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
           CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
      
         - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
           for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
           to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
      
         - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
           using transactional memory.
      
         - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
           Power9.
      
         - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
           Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
           handles requests.
      
         - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

       "The only change that is production ready this round is the work to
        increase the number of uid and gid mappings a user namespace can

        This code was carefully benchmarked and it was confirmed that in the

        with 340 mappings an cache cold stat times go from 158ns to 248ns.
        That is noticable but still quite small, and only the people who are
        doing crazy things pay the cost.
      
        This work uncovered some documentation and cleanup opportunities in

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
       "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.
      
        The major points of the overhaul are:
      
         (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
             of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
             to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
             automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
             in progress.
      
         (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
             addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
             server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
             IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.
      
         (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
             than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
             about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
             we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
             it where possible.
      
         (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
             information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
             subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
             directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
             servers break that restriction.
      
             To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
             removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.
      
         (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
             be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
             look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
             up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
             the fscache token for the cell.
      
         (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
             of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
             and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
             superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
             the lifetime of the volume fscache token.
      
         (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
             independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
             cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
             VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
             between those cells).
      
             Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
             rather than the address since a server can have multiple
             addresses.
      
         (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
             similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
             both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
             also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.
      
         (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
             of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
             favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
             and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.
      
             This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
             actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
             becomes useless.

      Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
       "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
      
        Core:
      
         - The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a
           menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of making the
           subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is happening because of
           two things:
      
            (a) Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers in
                a way that is affecting users directly. This happens on the
                highly integrated laptop chipsets named after geographical
                places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake, cedarfork, cherryview,
                denverton, geminilake, lewisburg, merrifield, sunrisepoint...
                It started a while back and now it is ever more evident that
                this is crucial infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an
                embedded obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware.
      
            (b) Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are arch-agnostic.
                Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip MCP28x08 but more are
                expected. Users will have to be able to configure these in
                directly for their set-up.
      
         - Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that GPIOLIB is a
           very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on it, if we need it, select
           it.
      
         - Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered a bunch
           of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed, all more or less
           pertaining to Blackfin.
      
         - Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and GPIO.
      
         - New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings and generic
           pin config options for this.
      
         - Minor documentation improvements.
      
        Various:
      
         - The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems
           Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute.
      
         - A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver.
      
         - Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding.
      
         - Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver.
      
         - Static constifying"

      mm: make alloc_node_mem_map a void call if we don't have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP · 0cd842f9
      Oscar Salvador authored
      free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does
      nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP.
      
      As a cleanup, we can move the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" within
      alloc_node_mem_map() out of the function, and define a
      alloc_node_mem_map() { } when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is not present.
      
      This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef
      CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" block from free_area_init_node() to
      alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef
      CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" in free_area_init_node().

      mm: simplify nodemask printing · 0205f755
      Michal Hocko authored
      alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask
      which forces both paths to use pr_cont.  We can do better.  printk
      already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach
      nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully.  This allows
      simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of
      pr_cont altogether.

      mm/page_ext.c: check if page_ext is not prepared · e492080e
      Jaewon Kim authored
      online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each
      section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn)
      or !pfn_valid(pfn).  Then section->page_ext remains as NULL.
      lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.  For a
      valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through
      lookup_page_ext.  Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse
      NULL pointer as value 0.  This incurrs invalid address access.
      
      This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN
      0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext.  section->page_ext is NULL,
      get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN
      0x13FC00.
      
      To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext
      will be checked at all times.

      mm: do not rely on preempt_count in print_vma_addr · 0a7f682d
      Michal Hocko authored
      The preempt count check on print_vma_addr has been added by commit
      e8bff74a ("x86: fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
      context" in print_vma_addr()") and it relied on the elevated preempt
      count from preempt_conditional_sti because preempt_count check doesn't
      work on non preemptive kernels by default.
      
      The code has evolved though and commit d99e1bd1 ("x86/entry/traps:
      Refactor preemption and interrupt flag handling") has replaced
      preempt_conditional_sti by an explicit preempt_disable which is noop on
      !PREEMPT so the check in print_vma_addr is broken.
      
      Fix the issue by using trylock on mmap_sem rather than chacking the
      preempt count.  The allocation we are relying on has to be GFP_NOWAIT as
      well.  There is a chance that we won't dump the vma state if the lock is
      contended or the memory short but this is acceptable outcome and much
      less fragile than the not working preemption check or tricks around it.

      and we do see many of those because essentially every allocation fails
      for each memory section.  This is an excessive way to tell the user that
      there is nothing to really worry about because we do have a fallback
      mechanism to use base pages.  The only downside might be a performance
      degradation due to TLB pressure.
      
      This patch changes vmemmap_alloc_block() to use __GFP_NOWARN and warn
      explicitly once on the first allocation failure.  This will reduce the
      noise in the kernel log considerably, while we still have an indication
      that a performance might be impacted.

      mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation · d135e575
      Pavel Tatashin authored
      In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
      be deferred.  We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
      pages for reserved memory in this node.
      
      The reserved memory is determined in this function:
      memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
      addresses, and returns size in bytes.  However, reset_deferred_meminit()
      assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
      count.
      
      The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
      due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
      worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

      mm: don't warn about allocations which stall for too long · 400e2249
      Tetsuo Handa authored
      Commit 63f53dea ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too
      long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up
      problem caused by memory allocation stalls.  But this commit reverts it,
      for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many
      threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory
      allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is
      difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous
      warning approach.
      
      Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the
      context of a thread which called console_unlock().  printk() should be
      able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues
      appending to printk() buffer.
      
      Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting
      for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process()
      is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force
      oom_kill_process() loop inside printk().  As a result, warn_alloc()
      significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process()
      from making forward progress.
      
      ---------- Pseudo code start ----------
      Before warn_alloc() was introduced:
      
        retry:
          if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
            while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
              atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
              print_one_log();
            }
            // Send SIGKILL here.
            mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
          }
          goto retry;
      
      After warn_alloc() was introduced:
      
        retry:
          if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
            while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
              atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
              print_one_log();
            }
            // Send SIGKILL here.
            mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
          } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) {
            atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
          }
          goto retry;
      ---------- Pseudo code end ----------
      
      Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds,
      unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same
      time.  Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing
      almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU
      resource.  Therefore, this situation can be simplified like
      
      ---------- Pseudo code start ----------
        retry:
          if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
            while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
              atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
              print_one_log();
            }
            // Send SIGKILL here.
            mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
          } else {
            atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
          }
          goto retry;
      ---------- Pseudo code end ----------
      
      when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log.
      
      One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to
      make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or
      warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk()
      (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress.
      
      Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable
      form.
      
      ---------- Pseudo code start ----------
        retry:
          if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
            mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock);
            while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
              atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
              print_one_log();
            }
            // Send SIGKILL here.
            mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
            mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
          } else {
            if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) {
              atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
              mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
            }
          }
          goto retry;
      ---------- Pseudo code end ----------
      
      But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to
      introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain
      useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and
      warn_alloc().
      
      Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g.  too late [1],
      too frequent [2], overlooked [3]).  As far as I know, warn_alloc() never
      helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong".
      I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information
      during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g.  the owner of
      oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions
      (e.g.  turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump
      of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose).
      
      This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g.  OOM lockup due to
      unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request.
      But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit
      warning.  Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().
