Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Documentation updates for 4.16.
New stuff includes refcount_t documentation, errseq documentation,
kernel-doc support for nested structure definitions, the removal of
lots of crufty kernel-doc support for unused formats, SPDX tag
documentation, the beginnings of a manual for subsystem maintainers,
and lots of fixes and updates.
As usual, some of the changesets reach outside of Documentation/ to
effect kerneldoc comment fixes. It also adds the new LICENSES
directory, of which Thomas promises I do not need to be the
maintainer"

Commit cbe37d093707 ("[PATCH] mm: remove PG_highmem") removed PG_highmem
to save a page flag. So the description of PG_highmem is no longer
needed.

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can
get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which
relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but
the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the
mbind hugetlb migration".
The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated
page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing
with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy
in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.
The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.
Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.
alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page.
This has 2 main disadvantages.
1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used
completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and
unused memory is just wasted.
2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes
might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the
page is in use. The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages
tracking (see free_huge_page).
Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account
pages allocated for migration. Those should temporal by definition. So
we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and
update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator. Page
migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page
to the old one which will be freed on the last reference. The global
surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be
careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page. This is now handled in
move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies
the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed
Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better
reflect its purpose. The new allocation routine for the migration path
is __alloc_migrate_huge_page.
The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really
temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration
request:
Before migration
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0

/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1
until the page is freed.

mem_map pointer
The comment is confusing. On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit
alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would
only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero. On the other hand,
it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually
used.
This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee,
just less obvious. Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits
are available and why.
Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting
pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce
at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available.
I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is
sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked
at build time.

Implements memfd sealing, similar to shmem:
- WRITE: deny fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE). mmap() write is denied in
memfd_add_seals(). write() doesn't exist for hugetlbfs.
- SHRINK: added similar check as shmem_setattr()
- GROW: added similar check as shmem_setattr() & shmem_fallocate()
Except write() operation that doesn't exist with hugetlbfs, that should
make sealing as close as it can be to shmem support.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3.
Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he
didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now
instead for convenience and security reasons.
This patch (of 9):
The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in
removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is
currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No
machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are
still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not
shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for
future use.

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems. The layout looks
like this:
unsigned long flags;
struct address_space *mapping
pgoff_t index;
atomic_t _mapcount;
atomic_t _refcount;
which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit. Nobody is trying to
use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the
misleading claims.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout
rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this.
The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so
the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to
be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct {
union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout,
but is easier to read.

Commit 4d4bbd8526a8 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu
notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous
memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers
registered.
The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.
That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have
blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a
"flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that
these callbacks do not block.
The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as
after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom
victim.

We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the
pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can
store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have
two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives
us space to cram in an extra page.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that. That's a sign of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303d2 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
Mel said:
: Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
: the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of
: which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
: useless pinned in the huge pages pool.
:
: I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of
: huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option
: should be ok.

We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen
seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost
cgroups pinned by lingering page cache.
Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat
is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this:
nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus
where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128
CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat
has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale.
Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the
per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters.
This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the
shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters
are implemented.
Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of
CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the
cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's
because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions
inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is
true for the memory controller.
Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates
during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is
an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

The implementation of the lruvec stat functions and their variants for
accounting through a page, or accounting from a preemptible context, are
mostly identical and needlessly repetitive.
Implement the lruvec_page functions by looking up the page's lruvec and
then using the lruvec function.
Implement the functions for preemptible contexts by disabling preemption
before calling the atomic context functions.

Replace all raw 'this_cpu_' modifications of the stat and event per-cpu
counters with API functions such as mod_memcg_state().
This makes the code easier to read, but is also in preparation for the
next patch, which changes the per-cpu implementation of those counters.

Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like
lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat
[1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be
wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many
places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually.
We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by
commit a459eeb7b852 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks
inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle
- the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu
- we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
calling lru_add_drain_cpu
the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain
which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local
cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is
called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished
completely.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull integrity updates from James Morris:
"This contains a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and new
functionality. Of note is the integrity cache locking fix, file change
detection, and support for a new EVM portable and immutable signature
type.
The re-introduction of the integrity cache lock (iint) fixes the
problem of attempting to take the i_rwsem shared a second time, when
it was previously taken exclusively. Defining atomic flags resolves
the original iint/i_rwsem circular locking - accessing the file data
vs. modifying the file metadata. Although it fixes the O_DIRECT
problem as well, a subsequent patch is needed to remove the explicit
O_DIRECT prevention.
For performance reasons, detecting when a file has changed and needs
to be re-measured, re-appraised, and/or re-audited, was limited to
after the last writer has closed, and only if the file data has
changed. Detecting file change is based on i_version. For filesystems
that do not support i_version, remote filesystems, or userspace
filesystems, the file was measured, appraised and/or audited once and
never re-evaluated. Now local filesystems, which do not support
i_version or are not mounted with the i_version option, assume the
file has changed and are required to re-evaluate the file. This change
does not address detecting file change on remote or userspace
filesystems.
Unlike file data signatures, which can be included and distributed in
software packages (eg. rpm, deb), the existing EVM signature, which
protects the file metadata, could not be included in software
packages, as it includes file system specific information (eg. i_ino,
possibly the UUID). This pull request defines a new EVM portable and
immutable file metadata signature format, which can be included in
software packages"

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"The is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.16 kernel cycle. It is
pretty calm this time around I think. I even got time to get to things
like starting to clean up header includes.
Core changes:
- Disallow open drain and open source flags to be set simultaneously.
This doesn't make electrical sense, and would the hardware actually
respond to this setting, the result would be short circuit.
- ACPI GPIO has a new core infrastructure for handling quirks. The
quirks are there to deal with broken ACPI tables centrally instead
of pushing the work to individual drivers. In the world of BIOS
writers, the ACPI tables are perfect. Until they find a mistake in
it. When such a mistake is found, we can patch it with a quirk. It
should never happen, the problem is that it happens. So we
accomodate for it.
- Several documentation updates.
- Revert the patch setting up initial direction state from reading
the device. This was causing bad things for drivers that can't read
status on all its pins. It is only affecting debugfs information
quality.
- Label descriptors with the device name if no explicit label is
passed in.
- Pave the ground for transitioning SPI and regulators to use GPIO
descriptors by implementing some quirks in the device tree GPIO
parsing code.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Access PCIe IDIO 24 family.
Other:
- Major refactorings and improvements to the GPIO mockup driver used
for test and verification.
- Moved the AXP209 driver over to pin control since it gained a pin
control back-end. These patches will appear (with the same hashes)
in the pin control pull request as well.
- Convert the onewire GPIO driver w1-gpio to use descriptors. This is
merged here since the W1 maintainers send very few pull requests
and he ACKed it.
- Start to clean up driver headers using <linux/gpio.h> to just use
<linux/gpio/driver.h> as appropriate"

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is mostly updates of the usual driver suspects: arcmsr,
scsi_debug, mpt3sas, lpfc, cxlflash, qla2xxx, aacraid, megaraid_sas,
hisi_sas.
We also have a rework of the libsas hotplug handling to make it more
robust, a slew of 32 bit time conversions and fixes, and a host of the
usual minor updates and style changes. The biggest potential for
regressions is the libsas hotplug changes, but so far they seem stable
under testing"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- DM core fixes to ensure that bio submission follows a depth-first
tree walk; this is critical to allow forward progress without the
need to use the bioset's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER.
- Remove DM core's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER based dm_offload infrastructure.
- DM core cleanups and improvements to make bio-based DM more efficient
(e.g. reduced memory footprint as well leveraging per-bio-data more).
- Introduce new bio-based mode (DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED) that leverages
the more direct IO submission path in the block layer; this mode is
used by DM multipath and also optimizes targets like DM thin-pool
that stack directly on NVMe data device.
- DM multipath improvements to factor out legacy SCSI-only (e.g.
scsi_dh) code paths to allow for more optimized support for NVMe
multipath.
- A fix for DM multipath path selectors (service-time and queue-length)
to select paths in a more balanced way; largely academic but doesn't
hurt.
- Numerous DM raid target fixes and improvements.
- Add a new DM "unstriped" target that enables Intel to workaround
firmware limitations in some NVMe drives that are striped internally
(this target also works when stacked above the DM "striped" target).
- Various Documentation fixes and improvements.
- Misc cleanups and fixes across various DM infrastructure and targets
(e.g. bufio, flakey, log-writes, snapshot).

Restructure mlxreg header for unification of hotplug item definitions.
Unify hotplug items to allow any kind of item (power controller, fan
eeprom, psu eeprom, asic health) in common way.
Use a hardware independent regmap interface, enabling the support of
hotplug events over programmable devices attached to different bus
types, such as I2C, LPC, or SPI. Add a device node to the
mlxreg_core_data structure.

In preparation for making the hotplug driver build for different
architectures, move mlxcpld-hotplug.c to platform/mellanox and the

interface changes to come.
Replace references to CPLD with REG throughout the files, consistent
with the new name.

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"This merge cycle, we're again some substantive changes to XFS.
Metadata verifiers have been restructured to provide more detail about
which part of a metadata structure failed checks, and we've enhanced
the new online fsck feature to cross-reference extent allocation
information with the other metadata structures. With this pull, the
metadata verification part of online fsck is more or less finished,
though the feature is still experimental and still disabled by
default.
We're also preparing to remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from a couple of
features this cycle. This week we're committing a bunch of space
accounting fixes for reflink and removing the EXPERIMENTAL tag from
reflink; I anticipate that we'll be ready to do the same for the
reverse mapping feature next week. (I don't have any pending fixes for
rmap; however I wish to remove the tags one at a time.)
This giant pile of patches has been run through a full xfstests run
over the weekend and through a quick xfstests run against this
morning's master, with no major failures reported. Let me know if
there's any merge problems -- git merge reported that one of our
patches touched the same function as the i_version series, but it
resolved things cleanly.
Summary:
- Log faulting code locations when verifiers fail, for improved
diagnosis of corrupt filesystems.
- Implement metadata verifiers for local format inode fork data.
- Online scrub now cross-references metadata records with other
metadata.
- Refactor the fs geometry ioctl generation functions.
- Harden various metadata verifiers.
- Fix various accounting problems.
- Fix uncancelled transactions leaking when xattr functions fail.
- Prevent the copy-on-write speculative preallocation garbage
collector from racing with writeback.
- Emit log reservation type information as trace data so that we can
compare against xfsprogs.
- Fix some erroneous asserts in the online scrub code.
- Clean up the transaction reservation calculations.
- Fix various minor bugs in online scrub.
- Log complaints about mixed dio/buffered writes once per day and
less noisily than before.
- Refactor buffer log item lists to use list_head.
- Break PNFS leases before reflinking blocks.
- Reduce lock contention on reflink source files.
- Fix some quota accounting problems with reflink.
- Fix a serious corruption problem in the direct cow write code where
we fed bad iomaps to the vfs iomap consumers.
- Various other refactorings.
- Remove EXPERIMENTAL tag from reflink!"

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.
