      vhost: new device IOTLB API · 6b1e6cc7
      Jason Wang authored
      This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
      used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping
      to emulate an IOMMU for the guest.
      
      The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB
      (which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net
      file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB
      update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault
      address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace
      finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the
      vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB.
      
      When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq
      addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and
      the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace
      memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is
      prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens
      during vq processing.
      
      In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space.
      The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little
      slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.

      vringh isn't used by vhost net or scsi - it's used
      by CAIF only at the moment. Drop the dependency.

       "Quoting David Howells:
      
        Here are three miscellaneous fixes:
      
        (1) Fix a panic in some debugging code in PKCS#7.  This can only
            happen by explicitly inserting a #define DEBUG into the code.
      
        (2) Fix the calculation of the digest length in the PE file parser.
            This causes a failure where there should be a success.
      
        (3) Fix the case where an X.509 cert can be added as an asymmetric key
            to a trusted keyring with no trust restriction if no AKID is
            supplied.
      
        Bugs (1) and (2) aren't particularly problematic, but (3) allows a
        security check to be bypassed.  Happily, this is a recent regression
        and never made it into a released kernel"

       "This contains a regression fix for a problem that was introduced in
        v4.7-rc6.
      
        In 4.7-rc1 we introduced auto-probing for the ACPI DSM (device-
        specific-method) format that the platform firmware implements for
        nvdimm devices.  We initially fixed a regression in probing the QEMU
        DSM implementation by making acpi_check_dsm() tolerant of the way QEMU
        reports the "0 DSMs supported" condition.
      
        However, that broke HPE platforms since that tolerance caused the
        driver to mistakenly match the 1-zero-byte response those platforms
        give to "unknown" commands.  Instead, we simply make the driver
        tolerant of not finding any supported DSMs.  This has been tested to
        work with both QEMU and HPE platforms.
      
        This commit has appeared in a -next release with no reported issues"

        Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
        ...
        Call Trace:
          parport_unregister_driver+0x65/0xc0 [parport]
          SyS_delete_module+0x187/0x210
      
      The sequence that builds up to this is:
      
       1) plip is loaded and takes the parport device for exclusive use:
      
          plip0: Parallel port at 0x378, using IRQ 7.
      
       2) pps_parport then fails to grab the device:
      
          pps_parport: parallel port PPS client
          parport0: cannot grant exclusive access for device pps_parport
          pps_parport: couldn't register with parport0
      
       3) rmmod of pps_parport is then killed because it tries to access
          pardev->name, but pardev (taken from port->cad) is NULL.
      
      So add a check for NULL in the test there too.

      radix_tree_iter_retry() resets slot to NULL, but it doesn't reset tags.

      mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs · 73f576c0
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
      cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears.  At the same time
      it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
      in the wild.  Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
      small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
      run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs.  Creating a new cgroup
      fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
      cgroups in existence.
      
      Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
      instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
      shadow entries and swapout records.
      
      Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
      having disappeared when it's looked up later.  They pose no hurdle.
      
      Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
      swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
      remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages.  And those
      references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.
      
      This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
      cache shadow entries over to using that.  This ID can then be recycled
      after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
      specifically need it.
      
      This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
      cgroup and deleting it again:
      
        set -e
        mkdir -p pages
        for x in `seq 128000`; do
          [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
          mkdir /cgroup/foo
          echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
          echo trex >pages/$x
          echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
          rmdir /cgroup/foo
        done
      
      When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
      even though there are no visible cgroups:
      
        [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
        [...]
        65000
        mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device
      
      After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
      cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.
