      sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu() · 1ad3aaf3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Hackbench recently suffered a bunch of pain, first by commit:
      
        4c77b18c ("sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive")
      
      and then by commit:
      
        c743f0a5 ("sched/fair, cpumask: Export for_each_cpu_wrap()")
      
      which fixed a bug in the initial for_each_cpu_wrap() implementation
      that made select_idle_cpu() even more expensive. The bug was that it
      would skip over CPUs when bits were consequtive in the bitmask.
      
      This however gave me an idea to fix select_idle_cpu(); where the old
      scheme was a cliff-edge throttle on idle scanning, this introduces a
      more gradual approach. Instead of stopping to scan entirely, we limit
      how many CPUs we scan.
      
      Initial benchmarks show that it mostly recovers hackbench while not
      hurting anything else, except Mason's schbench, but not as bad as the
      old thing.
      
      It also appears to recover the tbench high-end, which also suffered like
      hackbench.

      efi-pstore: Fix write/erase id tracking · c10e8031
      Kees Cook authored
      Prior to the pstore interface refactoring, the "id" generated during
      a backend pstore_write() was only retained by the internal pstore
      inode tracking list. Additionally the "part" was ignored, so EFI
      would encode this in the id. This corrects the misunderstandings
      and correctly sets "id" during pstore_write(), and uses "part"
      directly during pstore_erase().

       "Mostly netfilter bug fixes in here, but we have some bits elsewhere as
        well.
      
         1) Don't do SNAT replies for non-NATed connections in IPVS, from
            Julian Anastasov.
      
         2) Don't delete conntrack helpers while they are still in use, from
            Liping Zhang.
      
         3) Fix zero padding in xtables's xt_data_to_user(), from Willem de
            Bruijn.
      
         4) Add proper RCU protection to nf_tables_dump_set() because we
            cannot guarantee that we hold the NFNL_SUBSYS_NFTABLES lock. From
            Liping Zhang.
      
         5) Initialize rcv_mss in tcp_disconnect(), from Wei Wang.
      
         6) smsc95xx devices can't handle IPV6 checksums fully, so don't
            advertise support for offloading them. From Nisar Sayed.
      
         7) Fix out-of-bounds access in __ip6_append_data(), from Eric
            Dumazet.
      
         8) Make atl2_probe() propagate the error code properly on failures,
            from Alexey Khoroshilov.
      
         9) arp_target[] in bond_check_params() is used uninitialized. This
            got changes from a global static to a local variable, which is how
            this mistake happened. Fix from Jarod Wilson.
      
        10) Fix fallout from unnecessary NULL check removal in cls_matchall,
            from Jiri Pirko. This is definitely brown paper bag territory..."

      Since the head is guaranteed by the check above to be null, the call_rcu
      would explode. Remove the previously logically dead code that was made
      logically very much alive and kicking.

      vsock: use new wait API for vsock_stream_sendmsg() · 499fde66
      WANG Cong authored
      As reported by Michal, vsock_stream_sendmsg() could still
      sleep at vsock_stream_has_space() after prepare_to_wait():
      
        vsock_stream_has_space
          vmci_transport_stream_has_space
            vmci_qpair_produce_free_space
              qp_lock
                qp_acquire_queue_mutex
                  mutex_lock
      
      Just switch to the new wait API like we did for commit
      d9dc8b0f ("net: fix sleeping for sk_wait_event()").
