It's expensive to set buffer flags that are already set, because that
causes a costly cache line transition.

A common case is setting the "verified" flag during ext4 writes.
This patch checks for the flag being set first.

With the AIM7/creat-clo benchmark testing on a 48G ramdisk based-on ext4
file system, we see 3.3%(15431->15936) improvement of aim7.jobs-per-min on
a 2-sockets broadwell platform.

What the benchmark does is: it forks 3000 processes, and each  process do
the following:
a) open a new file
b) close the file
c) delete the file
until loop=100*1000 times.

The original patch is contributed by Andi Kleen.

 print_req_error: I/O error, dev nvme0n1, sector 847167488

Decoding the assembly, the request claims to have 0xffff segments,
while nvme counts two. This turns out to be because we don't check
for a data carrying request on the mq scheduler path, and since
blk_phys_contig_segment() returns true for a non-data request,
we decrement the initial segment count of 0 and end up with
0xffff in the unsigned short.

There are a few issues here:

1) We should initialize the segment count for a discard to 1.
2) The discard merging is currently using the data limits for
   segments and sectors.

Fix this up by having attempt_merge() correctly identify the
request, and by initializing the segment count correctly
for discards.

This can only be triggered with mq-deadline on discard capable
devices right now, which isn't a common configuration.

This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.

Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.  Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls.  BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.

If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because:

1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue
is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list();

2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART
in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list():
- if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1)
- otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is
  completed via blk_mq_sched_restart()

3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two
cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided.

One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

     Paolo.

   - Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
     Christoph.

   - Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
     from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.

   - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
     Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
     rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.

   - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
     here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
     Johannes.

   - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
     From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
     Weiping.

   - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
     logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
     it's a stacked device.

   - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
     preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.

   - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
     quiescing.

   - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
     can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.

   - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
     scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
     a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.

   - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
     exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.

   - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
     this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
     me.

   - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.

   - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.

   - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
     Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"

Pull MMC updates from Ulf Hansson:
 "There are two major achievements for MMC in this release, which
  deserves to be specially highlighted.

  First, we have converted the MMC block device from using the legacy
  blk interface into using the modern blkmq interface. Not only do we
  get all the nice effects from using blkmq, but it also means that new
  fresh nice code replaces old rusty code. Great news to everybody that
  cares about MMC/SD!

  It should also be noted that converting to blkmq has not been trivial,
  mostly because of that we have been carrying too much of MMC specific
  optimizations for the I/O request path, rather than striving to move
  these to the generic blk layer. Hopefully we won't be doing that
  mistake, ever again.

  Special thanks to Adrian Hunter (Intel) and to Linus Walleij (Linaro),
  who both have been working on this for quite some time!

  Second, on top of the blkmq deployment, we have enabled full support
  the eMMC command queuing feature, introduced in the eMMC v.5.1 spec.
  This also includes an implementation of a host driver library,
  supporting the corresponding CQHCI HW. Ideally, those controllers that
  supports CQHCI should only need some minor adaptations to make this
  play.

  So far the sdhci-pci driver for the Intel GLKs and the sdhci-of-arasan
  driver used on Rockchip RK3399, have enabled support for eMMC command
  queueing.

  Worth to highlight is also that, implementing the eMMC command queuing
  support has been a collaborative effort, as several people from
  Codeaurora, Rockchip, Intel and Linaro have been involved. However,
  the work has been driven by Adrian Hunter (Intel).

  In some shadow of the above, here are the rest of the highlights:

  MMC core:
   - Don't remove non-removable cards during system suspend
   - Add a slot-gpio helper to check capability of GPIO WP detection

  MMC host:
   - sdhci: Cleanups and improvements of some wakeup related code
   - sdhci-pci-arasan: New variant to support Arasan PCI HW with integrated phy
   - sdhci-acpi: Avoid broken UHS transfer modes on Intel CHT
   - sdhci-acpi: Add support for ACPI HID of AMD Controller with HS400
   - sdhci_f_sdh30: Add ACPI support
   - sdhci-esdhc-imx: Enable/disable clock at runtime suspend/resume
   - sdhci-of-esdhc: A few minor fixes

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes some infrastructure changes in the PM core, mostly
  related to integration between runtime PM and system-wide suspend and
  hibernation, plus some driver changes depending on them and fixes for
  issues in that area which have become quite apparent recently.

  Also included are changes making more x86-based systems use the Low
  Power Sleep S0 _DSM interface by default, which turned out to be
  necessary to handle power button wakeups from suspend-to-idle on
  Surface Pro3.

  On the cpufreq front we have fixes and cleanups in the core, some new
  hardware support, driver updates and the removal of some unused code
  from the CPU cooling thermal driver.

  Apart from this, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
  prepared to be used with power domains in the future and there is a
  usual bunch of assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Define a PM driver flag allowing drivers to request that their
     devices be left in suspend after system-wide transitions to the
     working state if possible and add support for it to the PCI bus
     type and the ACPI PM domain (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make the PM core carry out optimizations for devices with driver PM
     flags set in some cases and make a few drivers set those flags
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix and clean up wrapper routines allowing runtime PM device
     callbacks to be re-used for system-wide PM, change the generic
     power domains (genpd) framework to stop using those routines
     incorrectly and fix up a driver depending on that behavior of genpd
     (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Fix and clean up the PM core's device wakeup framework and
     re-factor system-wide PM core code related to device wakeup
     (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Brian Norris).

   - Make more x86-based systems use the Low Power Sleep S0 _DSM
     interface by default (to fix power button wakeup from
     suspend-to-idle on Surface Pro3) and add a kernel command line
     switch to tell it to ignore the system sleep blacklist in the ACPI
     core (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix a race condition related to cpufreq governor module removal and
     clean up the governor management code in the cpufreq core (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Drop the unused generic code related to the handling of the static
     power energy usage model in the CPU cooling thermal driver along
     with the corresponding documentation (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add mt2712 support to the Mediatek cpufreq driver (Andrew-sh
     Cheng).

   - Add a new operating point to the imx6ul and imx6q cpufreq drivers
     and switch the latter to using clk_bulk_get() (Anson Huang, Dong
     Aisheng).

   - Add support for multiple regulators to the TI cpufreq driver along
     with a new DT binding related to that and clean up that driver
     somewhat (Dave Gerlach).

   - Fix a powernv cpufreq driver regression leading to incorrect CPU
     frequency reporting, fix that driver to deal with non-continguous
     P-states correctly and clean it up (Gautham Shenoy, Shilpasri
     Bhat).

   - Add support for frequency scaling on Armada 37xx SoCs through the
     generic DT cpufreq driver (Gregory CLEMENT).

   - Fix error code paths in the mvebu cpufreq driver (Gregory CLEMENT).

   - Fix a transition delay setting regression in the longhaul cpufreq
     driver (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add Skylake X (server) support to the intel_pstate cpufreq driver
     and clean up that driver somewhat (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Clean up the cpufreq statistics collection code (Viresh Kumar).

   - Drop cluster terminology and dependency on physical_package_id from
     the PSCI driver and drop dependency on arm_big_little from the SCPI
     cpufreq driver (Sudeep Holla).

   - Add support for system-wide suspend and resume to the RAPL power
     capping driver and drop a redundant semicolon from it (Zhen Han,
     Luis de Bethencourt).

   - Make SPI domain validation (in the SCSI SPI transport driver) and
     system-wide suspend mutually exclusive as they rely on the same
     underlying mechanism and cannot be carried out at the same time
     (Bart Van Assche).

   - Fix the computation of the amount of memory to preallocate in the
     hibernation core and clean up one function in there (Rainer Fiebig,
     Kyungsik Lee).

   - Prepare the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework for being
     used with power domains and clean up one function in it (Viresh
     Kumar, Wei Yongjun).

   - Clean up the generic sysfs interface for device PM (Andy
     Shevchenko).

   - Fix several minor issues in power management frameworks and clean
     them up a bit (Arvind Yadav, Bjorn Andersson, Geert Uytterhoeven,
     Gustavo Silva, Julia Lawall, Luis de Bethencourt, Paul Gortmaker,
     Sergey Senozhatsky, gaurav jindal).

   - Make it easier to disable PM via Kconfig (Mark Brown).

   - Clean up the cpupower and intel_pstate_tracer utilities (Doug
     Smythies, Laura Abbott)"

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
 "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
  than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
  instead and expand out various macros.

  Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:

   (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
       openrisc.

   (2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
       init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.

       Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
       the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
       different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.

       We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.

       We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
       to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
       expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
       a lot of backslashes.

   (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.

   (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
       conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
       in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.

   (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.

   (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.

  These macros can then be discarded"

progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with
a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base
which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware
prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay
clears the flag and resumes normal operation.

If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is
unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the
CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and
it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so
nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer
interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and
other malfunctions.

Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer
cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in.

Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the
root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's
trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

Due to some unfortunate events, I have not been directly involved in
the x86 kernel patch flow for a while now.  I have also not been able
to ramp back up by now like I had hoped to, and after reviewing what I
will need to work on both internally at Intel and elsewhere in the near
term, it is clear that I am not going to be able to ramp back up until
late 2018 at the very earliest.

It is not acceptable to not recognize that this load is currently
taken by Ingo and Thomas without my direct participation, so I mark
myself as R: (designated reviewer) rather than M: (maintainer) until
further notice.  This is in fact recognizing the de facto situation
for the past few years.

I have obviously no intention of going away, and I will do everything
within my power to improve Linux on x86 and x86 for Linux.  This,
however, puts credit where it is due and reflects a change of focus.

This patch also removes stale entries for portions of the x86
architecture which have not been maintained separately from arch/x86
for a long time.  If there is a reason to re-introduce them then that
can happen later.

Pull RISC-V update from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "RISC-V: We have a new mailing list and git repo!

  Sorry to send something essentially as late as possible (Friday after
  an rc9), but we managed to get a mailing list for the RISC-V Linux
  port. We've been using patches@groups.riscv.org for a while, but that
  list has some problems (it's Google Groups and it's shared over all
  RISC-V software projects). The new infaread.org list is much better.
  We just got it on Wednesday but I used it a bit on Thursday to shake
  out all the configuration problems and it appears to be in working
  order.

  When I updated the mailing list I noticed that the MAINTAINERS file
  was pointing to our github repo, but now that we have a kernel.org
  repo I'd like to point to that instead so I changed that as well.
  We'll be centralizing all RISC-V Linux related development here as
  that seems to be the saner way to go about it.

  I can understand if it's too late to get this into 4.15, but given
  that it's not a code change I was hoping it'd still be OK. It would be
  nice to have the new mailing list and git repo in the release tarballs
  so when people start to find bugs they'll get to the right place"
