The alloc_bootmem_low_pages() function allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned regions from low memory. memblock_alloc_low() with alignment set to PAGE_SIZE does exactly the same thing.

Both functions attempt to allocate memory with specified alignment from a particular node. If the allocation from that node fails, they both fall back to allocating from any node in the system. Usage of native memblock API eliminates the nobootmem translation layer. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1536927045-23536-18-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

When __alloc_bootmem_nopanic() is used with explicit lower limit for the allocation it attempts to allocate memory at or above that limit and falls back to allocation with no limit set. The memblock_alloc_from_nopanic() does exactly the same thing and can be used as a replacement for __alloc_bootmem_nopanic() is such cases.

The alloc_bootmem_pages_nopanic(size) is a shortcut for __alloc_bootmem_nopanic(size, PAGE_SIZE, BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT) which allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned memory. Since BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT is hardwired to 0 there is no restrictions on where the allocated memory should reside. The memblock_alloc_nopanic(size, PAGE_SIZE) also allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned memory without any restrictions and thus can be used as a replacement for alloc_bootmem_pages_nopanic() Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1536927045-23536-12-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

The __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() attempts to allocate memory for a specified node. If the allocation fails it then retries to allocate memory from any node. Upon success, the allocated memory is set to 0. The memblock_alloc_try_nid_nopanic() does exactly the same thing and can be used instead.

Building any configuration with 'make W=1' produces a warning: kernel/bounds.c:16:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'foo' [-Wmissing-prototypes] When also passing -Werror, this prevents us from building any other files. Nobody ever calls the function, but we can't make it 'static' either since we want the compiler output. Calling it 'main' instead however avoids the warning, because gcc does not insist on having a declaration for main. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181005083313.2088252-1-arnd@arndb.deSigned-off-by:

Update the LZ4 compression module based on LZ4 v1.8.3 in order for the erofs file system to use the newest LZ4_decompress_safe_partial() which can now decode exactly the nb of bytes requested [1] to take place of the open hacked code in the erofs file system itself. Currently, apart from the erofs file system, no other users use LZ4_decompress_safe_partial, so no worry about the interface. In addition, LZ4 v1.8.x boosts up decompression speed compared to the current code which is based on LZ4 v1.7.3, mainly due to shortcut optimization for the specific common LZ4-sequences [2]. lzbench testdata (tested in kirin710, 8 cores, 4 big cores at 2189Mhz, 2GB DDR RAM at 1622Mhz, with enwik8 testdata [3]): Compressor name Compress.

For SysV semaphores, the semmni value is the last part of the 4-element sem number array. To make semmni behave in a similar way to msgmni and shmmni, we can't directly use the _minmax handler. Instead, a special sem specific handler is added to check the last argument to make sure that it is limited to the [0, IPCMNI] range. An error will be returned if this is not the case.

Patch series "ipc: IPCMNI limit check for *mni & increase that limit", v9. The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written values which are not real. The real IPCMNI limit is now enforced to make sure that users won't put in an unrealistic value. The first 2 patches enforce the limits. There are also users out there requesting increase in the IPCMNI value. The last 2 patches attempt to do that by using a boot kernel parameter "ipcmni_extend" to increase the IPCMNI limit from 32k to 8M if the users really want the extended value. This patch (of 4): A user can write arbitrary integer values to msgmni and shmmni sysctl parameters without getting error, but the actual limit is really IPCMNI (32k). This can mislead users as they think they can get a value that is not real. The right limits are now set for msgmni and shmmni so that the users will become aware if they set a value outside of the acceptable range.

If a call to panic() terminates the string with a \n , the result puts the closing brace ']---' on a newline because panic() itself adds \n too. Now, if one goes and removes the newline chars from all panic() invocations - and the stats right now look like this: ~300 calls with a \n ~500 calls without a \n one is destined to a neverending game of whack-a-mole because the usual thing to do is add a newline at the end of a string a function is supposed to print. Therefore, simply zap any \n at the end of the panic string to avoid touching so many places in the kernel. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181009205019.2786-1-bp@alien8.deSigned-off-by:

Patch series "fat: timestamp updates", v5. fat/msdos timestamps are stored on-disk with several different granularities, some of them lower resolution than timespec64_trunc() can provide. In addition, they are only truncated as they are written to disk, so the timestamps in-memory for new or modified files/directories may be different from the same timestamps after a remount, as the now-truncated times are re-read from the on-disk format. These patches allow finer granularity for the timestamps where possible and add fat-specific ->update_time inode operation and fat_truncate_time functions to truncate each timestamp correctly, giving consistent times across remounts. This patch (of 4): Move the calculation of the number of seconds in the timezone offset to a common function.

fill_with_dentries() failed to propagate errors up to reiserfs_for_each_xattr() properly. Plumb them through. Note that reiserfs_for_each_xattr() is only used by reiserfs_delete_xattrs() and reiserfs_chown_xattrs(). The result of reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is discarded anyway, the only difference there is whether a warning is printed to dmesg. The result of reiserfs_chown_xattrs() does matter because it can block chowning of the file to which the xattrs belong; but either way, the resulting state can have misaligned ownership, so my patch doesn't improve things greatly. Credit for making me look at this code goes to Al Viro, who pointed out that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be changed.

Direct writes to empty inodes fail with EIO. The generic direct-io code is in part to blame (a patch has been submitted as "direct-io: allow direct writes to empty inodes"), but hfs is worse affected than the other filesystems because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen. The problem is the return value of hfs_get_block() when called with !create. Change it to be more consistent with the other modules.

Direct writes to empty inodes fail with EIO. The generic direct-io code is in part to blame (a patch has been submitted as "direct-io: allow direct writes to empty inodes"), but hfsplus is worse affected than the other filesystems because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen. The problem is the return value of hfsplus_get_block() when called with !create. Change it to be more consistent with the other modules.

Inserting a new record in a btree may require splitting several of its nodes. If we hit ENOSPC halfway through, the new nodes will be left orphaned and their records will be lost. This could mean lost inodes or extents. Henceforth, check the available disk space before making any changes. This still leaves the potential problem of corruption on ENOMEM. There is no need to reserve space before deleting a catalog record, as we do for hfsplus. This difference is because hfs index nodes have fixed length keys.

The patch can be tested with xfstests generic/027. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4596eef22fbda137b4ffa0272d92f0da15364421.1536269129.git.ernesto.mnd.fernandez@gmail.comSigned-off-by:
