      aio: kill ki_retry · 41ef4eb8
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Thanks to Zach Brown's work to rip out the retry infrastructure, we don't
      need this anymore - ki_retry was only called right after the kiocb was
      initialized.
      
      This also refactors and trims some duplicated code, as well as cleaning up
      the refcounting/error handling a bit.

      ki_key wasn't actually used for anything previously - it was always 0.

      aio: kill struct aio_ring_info · 58c85dc2
      Kent Overstreet authored
      struct aio_ring_info was kind of odd, the only place it's used is where
      it's embedded in struct kioctx - there's no real need for it.
      
      The next patch rearranges struct kioctx and puts various things on their
      own cachelines - getting rid of struct aio_ring_info now makes that
      reordering a bit clearer.

      aio: kill batch allocation · a1c8eae7
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global
      (well, per kioctx) cachelines...  so batching up allocation to amortize
      those was worthwhile.  But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in
      another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any
      shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out.

      aio: change reqs_active to include unreaped completions · 3e845ce0
      Kent Overstreet authored
      The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the
      completion ringbuffer overflowing.  To do that, it has to keep track of
      the number of outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions
      currently in the ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we
      allocate a kiocb.  Ouch.
      
      But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to
      mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that
      means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is
      a fairly significant win.

      aio: use cancellation list lazily · 0460fef2
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list,
      which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in
      the fast path.  But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do
      this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead.
      
      While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel
      itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed.  This lets
      us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

      aio: make aio_read_evt() more efficient, convert to hrtimers · a31ad380
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the
      ringbuffer at a time, locking and unlocking each time.  Change it to
      pull off as many events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to
      userspace.
      
      This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
      we'd lose the event.
      
      Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
      simplifies it quite a bit.

      wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout() · 774a08b3
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
      wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().
      
      Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't
      return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they
      return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out.  because I was uncomfortable with
      the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right,
      anyways).
      
      If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
      current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
      sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
      hrtimers.
      
      If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
      is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
      that timeout.  Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
      weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.
      
      I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
      amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
      version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

      aio: refcounting cleanup · 36f55889
      Kent Overstreet authored
      The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
      it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
      
      Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
      refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
      
        set ctx->dead
        hlist_del_rcu();
        synchronize_rcu();
      
      Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
      the initial ref:
      
        put_ioctx();
      
      We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs.  This was
      done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
      the initial refcount.  At this point, other syscalls may still be
      submitting kiocbs!
      
      Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
      kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
      submitted.

      aio: make aio_put_req() lockless · 11599eba
      Kent Overstreet authored
      Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
      
       * Pull it off the reqs_active list
       * Decrementing reqs_active
       * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
      
      This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
      
       * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
         kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
         do it twice.
       * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
         for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
       * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
         completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
         at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
         kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
      
      This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
      implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
      to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
      kiocbs.
      
      It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
      submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
      reqs_active list.  This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
      is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

      aio: remove retry-based AIO · 41003a7b
      Zach Brown authored
      This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
      is using it.
      
      We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
      It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
      mm of the submitting task.  All other task_struct references in the IO
      submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
      This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
      retry-based AIO.
      
      This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
      The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
      around the unused run list in the submission path.

      gadget: remove only user of aio retry · a80bf61e
      Zach Brown authored
      This removes the only in-tree user of aio retry.  This will let us
      remove the retry code from the aio core.
      
      Removing retry is relatively easy as the USB gadget wasn't using it to
      retry IOs at all.  It always fully submitted the IO in the context of
      the initial io_submit() call.  It only used the AIO retry facility to
      get the submitter's mm context for copying the result of a read back to
      user space.  This is easy to implement with use_mm() and a work struct,
      much like kvm does with async_pf_execute() for get_user_pages().

      mm: remove old aio use_mm() comment · 697f4d68
      Zach Brown authored
      Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
      been working on.  The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
      it could of course use more review and testing.
      
      The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
      ioctx is being shared between multiple threads.  In my crappy synthetic
      benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
      I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
      contention) to low single digits.  Performance with ioctx per thread
      improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
      
      The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
      that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
      completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
      implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
      we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
      
      Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
      a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
      ioctx is gone there.  There's still going to be some cacheline
      contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
      least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
      for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
      series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
      interrupt coalescing).  With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
      performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
      
      This patch:
      
      use_mm() is used in more places than just aio.  There's no need to mention
      callers when describing the function.

      hugetlbfs: fix mmap failure in unaligned size request · af73e4d9
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
      "almost" hugepage aligned.  This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
      given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
      with hugepage boundary.
      
      This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29 ("hugetlbfs: fix
      alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
      hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
      
      To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
      alignment code in caller side.  And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
      in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

      Pull misc kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
       "Non-critical kbuild changes:
      
         - make coccicheck improvements, but no new semantic patches this time
      
         - make rpm improvements
      
         - make tar-pkg change to include the architecture in the filename.
      
           This is a deliberate incompatibility, but nobody has complained so
           far and it is useful if you build for different architectures.  It
           also matches what the deb-pkg and rpm-pkg targets produce.
      
         - kbuild documentation fix"

      menuconfig: fix NULL pointer dereference when searching a symbol · 383da76f
      Li Zefan authored
      Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's
      because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.
      
      In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
      52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows
      this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:
      
          config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
              tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"
              depends on PPC_EFIKA
      
      This bug was introduced by commit bcdedcc1 ("menuconfig: print more
      info for symbol without prompts").

       1) Fix race conditions in IP fragmentation LRU list handling, from
          Konstantin Khlebnikov.
      
       2) vfree() is no longer verboten in interrupts, so deferring is
          pointless, from Al Viro.
      
       3) Conversion from mutex to semaphore in netpoll left trylock test
          inverted, caught by Dan Carpenter.
