      block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq · 3b627a3f
      Jens Axboe authored
      Just a comment update on not needing queue_lock, and that we aren't
      really adding the request to a timeout list for !mq.

      NVMe: default to 4k device page size · c5c9f25b
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
      is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
      DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
      Entries).
      
      The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
      PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
      matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
      as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
      8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
      BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
      of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).
      
      In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
      IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
      function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
      page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
      API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
      interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
      device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
      implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.
      
      With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
      exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
      will BUG within a few minutes.

      pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns() · 81b1a832
      Eric Dumazet authored
      I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
      __task_pid_nr_ns() :
      
      pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
      task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
      because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :
      
          if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH
      
      Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
      top" crashing hosts :(
      
      get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.

       "A round of fixes/updates for the current series.
      
        This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we
        pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so
        it could be updated a bit.  The rest of the volume is also mostly
        lightnvm.  In particular:
      
         - Lightnvm.  Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and
           Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao.
      
         - NVMe:
              - Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith.
              - Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from
                a completion queue before deleting it.  Fixes kernel crashes
                when resetting a device with IO pending.
              - Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias.
      
         - Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a
           flush is not required.  Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be
           idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling.  From
           Jan Kara.
      
         - Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code.  From
           Gelian Tang.
      
         - Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq
           devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption
           disabled.  From me.
      
         - A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook.
      
         - Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable.  A third part is adding a
           new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw
           up the accounting.
      
         - Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes"

      blk-merge: fix blk_bio_segment_split · 02e70742
      Ming Lei authored
      Commit bdced438(block: setup bi_phys_segments after
      splitting) introduces function of computing bio->bi_phys_segments
      during bio splitting.
      
      Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size
      arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained
      for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment
      across two bios can be possible.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by computing the two variables in
      blk_bio_segment_split().

      dm thin: fix regression in advertised discard limits · 0fcb04d5
      Mike Snitzer authored
      When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
      underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
      from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
      must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
      device doesn't support discards.
      
      Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
      their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
      This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
      blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
      thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0).  This regression
      wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
      'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
      thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.
      
      Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
      rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
      should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.
      
      Fixes: 21607670 ("dm thin: disable discard support for thin devices if pool's is disabled")

       "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
        come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes

       "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
        previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
        Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with

        bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
        kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub:
        add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
      
        I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
        users of the API.
      
        But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the

      slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API · 865762a8
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
      
      Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
      is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
      
      A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
      specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
      
      The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
      run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
      the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
      stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
      some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
      
      To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
      kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
      objects with this API change.

      slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk · 03374518
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
      kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
      
      If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
      to not add any asm code.
      
      Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
      object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
      we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
      match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

      slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk · 03ec0ed5
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
      be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
      memcg_kmem_get_cache().
      
      This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
      
      As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
      to handle an array of objects.
      
      A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
      same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
      realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
      evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
      compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
      
      In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
      slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
      object directly.

      slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist · d0ecd894
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
      "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
      
      The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
      extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
      the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
      
      To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
      freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
      
       1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
          thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
      
       2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
          each with a separate head pointer.
      
       3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
      
      Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
      freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
      freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
      synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
      stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
      head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
      
      All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
      Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
      that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
      a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
      
      Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
      
      Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
      only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.
      
      Performance data:
       Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz
      
      SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns
      
      To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
      "slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).
      
      Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:

      Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
      larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
      having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
      can achieve similar performance.

      slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists · 81084651
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
      of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
      (cnt).
      
      Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
      compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
      slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
      object free.
      
      This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
      slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
      __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
      
      Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
      freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
      objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
      
      These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
      freelists it introduces and constructs.
      
      Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
      when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

      parisc: Add Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support · 736d2169
      Helge Deller authored
      This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
      pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
      A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
      huge pages.
      
      The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
      PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
      variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
      
      Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
      emulate standard 2MB huge pages.
