As Linus points out: The inode_cmp_iversion{+raw}() functions are pure and utter crap. Why? You say that they return 0/negative/positive, but they do so in a completely broken manner. They return that ternary value as the sequence number difference in a 's64', which means that if you actually care about that ternary value, and do the *sane* thing that the kernel-doc of the function implies is the right thing, you would do int cmp = inode_cmp_iversion(inode, old); if (cmp < 0 ... and as a result you get code that looks sane, but that doesn't actually *WORK* right. Since none of the callers actually care about the ternary value here, convert the inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} functions to just return a boolean value (false for matching, true for non-matching). This matches the existing use of these functions just fine, and makes it simple to convert them to return a ternary value in the future if we grow callers that need it. With this change we can also reimplement inode_cmp_iversion in a simpler way using inode_peek_iversion.

Pull kern_recvmsg reduction from Al Viro: "kernel_recvmsg() is a set_fs()-using wrapper for sock_recvmsg(). In all but one case that is not needed - use of ITER_KVEC for ->msg_iter takes care of the data and does not care about set_fs(). The only exception is svc_udp_recvfrom() where we want cmsg to be store into kernel object; everything else can just use sock_recvmsg() and be done with that.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro: "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as 'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local variables used to hold the future return value'. Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those in this series - it's large enough as it is. Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are arch-independent, but POLL### are not. The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll() work on all architectures. As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all architectures" * 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (37 commits) make kernel-side POLL... arch-independent eventpoll: no need to mask the result of epi_item_poll() again eventpoll: constify struct epoll_event pointers debugging printk in sg_poll() uses %x to print POLL... bitmap annotate poll(2) guts 9p: untangle ->poll() mess ->si_band gets POLL... bitmap stored into a user-visible long field ring_buffer_poll_wait() return value used as return value of ->poll() the rest of drivers/*: annotate ->poll() instances media: annotate ->poll() instances fs: annotate ->poll() instances ipc, kernel, mm: annotate ->poll() instances net: annotate ->poll() instances apparmor: annotate ->poll() instances tomoyo: annotate ->poll() instances sound: annotate ->poll() instances acpi: annotate ->poll() instances crypto: annotate ->poll() instances block: annotate ->poll() instances x86: annotate ->poll() instances ...

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online. This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't depended upon early during boot. Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too. This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it" * 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues workqueue: separate out init_rescuer()

Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman: "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace. Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace. This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't copy any unitializied fields to userspace. The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a single definition that is shared between all architectures so that anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code assignments are arch independent. The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't think there was a single implementation of either of those functions that was complete and correct before my changes unified them. The design is to introduce a series of helpers including force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring struct siginfo is built correctly. The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1 material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user. Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out. The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace, and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards to siginfo generation. It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can already see the code reduction in the kernel" * 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (45 commits) signal/memory-failure: Use force_sig_mceerr and send_sig_mceerr mm/memory_failure: Remove unused trapno from memory_failure signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where needed signal/powerpc: Remove unnecessary signal_code parameter of do_send_trap signal: Helpers for faults with specialized siginfo layouts signal: Add send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault signal: Replace memset(info,...) with clear_siginfo for clarity signal: Don't use structure initializers for struct siginfo signal/arm64: Better isolate the COMPAT_TASK portion of ptrace_hbptriggered ptrace: Use copy_siginfo in setsiginfo and getsiginfo signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32 signal: Remove the code to clear siginfo before calling copy_siginfo_from_user32 signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_from_user32 signal/blackfin: Remove pointless UID16_SIGINFO_COMPAT_NEEDED signal/blackfin: Move the blackfin specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h signal/tile: Move the tile specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h signal/frv: Move the frv specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h signal/ia64: Move the ia64 specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h signal/powerpc: Remove redefinition of NSIGTRAP on powerpc signal: Move addr_lsb into the _sigfault union for clarity ...

Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton: "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive. It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the field was checked. Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads. This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the metadata updates when no one is looking at it. In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over DAX, with 4k writes): https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8 A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)". * tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: (22 commits) fs: handle inode->i_version more efficiently btrfs: only dirty the inode in btrfs_update_time if something was changed xfs: avoid setting XFS_ILOG_CORE if i_version doesn't need incrementing fs: only set S_VERSION when updating times if necessary IMA: switch IMA over to new i_version API xfs: convert to new i_version API ufs: use new i_version API ocfs2: convert to new i_version API nfsd: convert to new i_version API nfs: convert to new i_version API ext4: convert to new i_version API ext2: convert to new i_version API exofs: switch to new i_version API btrfs: convert to new i_version API afs: convert to new i_version API affs: convert to new i_version API fat: convert to new i_version API fs: don't take the i_lock in inode_inc_iversion fs: new API for handling inode->i_version ntfs: remove i_version handling ...

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" * 'for-4.16/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (186 commits) block: remove smart1,2.h nvme: add tracepoint for nvme_complete_rq nvme: add tracepoint for nvme_setup_cmd nvme-pci: introduce RECONNECTING state to mark initializing procedure nvme-rdma: remove redundant boolean for inline_data nvme: don't free uuid pointer before printing it nvme-pci: Suspend queues after deleting them bsg: use pr_debug instead of hand crafted macros blk-mq-debugfs: don't allow write on attributes with seq_operations set nvme-pci: Fix queue double allocations block: Set BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION on new bio during split blk-throttle: use queue_is_rq_based block: Remove kblockd_schedule_delayed_work{,_on}() blk-mq: Avoid that blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() introduces unintended delays blk-mq: Rename blk_mq_request_direct_issue() into blk_mq_request_issue_directly() lib/scatterlist: Fix chaining support in sgl_alloc_order() blk-throttle: track read and write request individually block: add bdev_read_only() checks to common helpers block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions blk-throttle: export io_serviced_recursive, io_service_bytes_recursive ...
