In preparation for merging the IDR and radix tree, reduce the fanout at
each level from 256 to 64. If this causes a performance problem then a
bisect will point to this commit, and we'll have a better idea about
what we might do to fix it.

Calculate how many nodes we need to allocate to split an old_order entry
into multiple entries, each of size new_order. The test suite checks
that we allocated exactly the right number of nodes; neither too many
(checked by rtp->nr == 0), nor too few (checked by comparing
nr_allocated before and after the call to radix_tree_split()).

This new function splits a larger multiorder entry into smaller entries
(potentially multi-order entries). These entries are initialised to
RADIX_TREE_RETRY to ensure that RCU walkers who see this state aren't
confused. The caller should then call radix_tree_for_each_slot() and
radix_tree_replace_slot() in order to turn these retry entries into the
intended new entries. Tags are replicated from the original multiorder
entry into each new entry.

This new function allows for the replacement of many smaller entries in
the radix tree with one larger multiorder entry. From the point of view
of an RCU walker, they may see a mixture of the smaller entries and the
large entry during the same walk, but they will never see NULL for an
index which was populated before the join.

This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller
(tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of
the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By
introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate
all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now
use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to
worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping.
The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating
this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as
radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator
which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the
presence of multiorder entries.
1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would
result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if
there were sibling entries.
2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of
a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by
an entry of lower order.
3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to
when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with
entry_to_node() being in a header file.
Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries
necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now
need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the
calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which
protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some
people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time
around the loop.
radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder
support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the
chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare
enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact
(and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just
processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to
force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive
than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

I want to be able to reference node->parent after freeing node.
Currently node->parent is in a union with rcu_head, so it is overwritten
when the node is put on the RCU list. We know that private_list is not
referenced after the node is freed, so it is safe for these two members
to share space.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5.
Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches
for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches
enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to
finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the
generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the
series!
This patch (of 20):
To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault
and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully
handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to
remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.

Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information
around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more
information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of
that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it
would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the
generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in
keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault
all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces
invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions.
In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked()
with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags.
In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass
different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane
replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release
of mmap_sem.)
Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH
flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit
1e9877902dc7 ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this
appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not
an issue.

Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()".
This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions
taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please.
It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to
get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise
VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of
__get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of
this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do
so.
Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced
with the appropriate higher-level replacement -
get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are
referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors
are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.)
This patch (of 2):
Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked().
Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*()
functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a
position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his
ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to
subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing
for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

Patch series "Clean up watchdog handlers", v2.
This is an attempt to cleanup watchdog handlers. Right now,
kernel/watchdog.c implements both softlockup and hardlockup detectors.
Softlockup code is generic. Hardlockup code is arch specific. Some
architectures don't use hardlockup detectors. They use their own
watchdog detectors. To make both these combination work, we have
numerous #ifdefs in kernel/watchdog.c.
We are trying here to make these handlers independent of each other.
Also provide an interface for architectures to implement their own
handlers. watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable will be defined
as weak such that architectures can override its definitions.
Thanks to Don Zickus for his suggestions.
Here are our previous discussions
http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16543.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16441.html
This patch (of 3):
Move shared macros and definitions to nmi.h so that watchdog.c, new file
watchdog_hld.c or any other architecture specific handler can use those
definitions.

kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via
vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the
classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack().
vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the
trap. But this approach is racy, for example:
CPU1 CPU2
vkdb_printf()
// assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0
saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk;
kdb_trap_printk = 0;
kdb_show_stack()
kdb_trap_printk++;
Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf()
even when it should have been disabled. It will not
cause a deadlock but...
// using the outdated saved value: 0
kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk;
kdb_trap_printk--;
Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this.
It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from
now on.
This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the
recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU.
The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from
another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted
printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But
this problem existed even with the original code.
A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk
and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the
effort, though.
In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the
commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the
other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter().
The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for
the other CPUs to report to the holding pen.
Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf()
explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls
kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk()
recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This
is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.

kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel
code.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this
variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original
implementation. But this check never went upstream.
The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the
kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be
symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or
outside the locked area.
Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could
simply remove the state variable.

Add support for mapping and unmapping a page with attributes.
The primary use for this is currently to allow for us to pass the
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute when mapping and unmapping a page. On
some architectures such as ARM the synchronization has significant
overhead and if we are already taking care of the sync_for_cpu and
sync_for_device from the driver there isn't much need to handle this in
the map/unmap calls as well.

This reverts commit 0549a3c02efb ("kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory
sections virtual addresses").
Commit 0549a3c02efb tells the userspace utility makedumpfile the
randomized base address of these memmory sections when mm kaslr is
enabled. However the following patch "kexec: export the value of
phys_base instead of symbol address" makes makedumpfile not need these
addresses any more.
Besides we should use VMCOREINFO_NUMBER to export the value of the
variable so that we can use the existing number_table mechanism of
Makedumpfile to fetch it. So revert it now. If needed we can add it
later.

When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many
CPUs, it was found that spinlock contention in the sigprocmask syscalls
became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below.
9.30% 9.30% 905387 dataserver /proc/kcore 0x7fff8163f4d2
[k] _raw_spin_lock_irq

| |--50.63%-- __swapcontext
| | |
| | |--99.91%-- upsleepgeneric
| |
| |--49.36%-- __setcontext
| | ktskRun
Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that
the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are
changes in the signal mask.
A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking
the sighand->siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask.
This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are
trying to call sigprocmask().
With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was
gone.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
of fuse in the next development cycle.
The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
since at least Linux v1.0.
Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
of these fixes"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
Revert "evm: Translate user/group ids relative to s_user_ns when computing HMAC"

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
pile for v4.10.
The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).
While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
disabling irq for netns id").
The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
support"

r_safe_completion is currently, and has always been, signaled only if
on-disk ack was requested. It's there for fsync and syncfs, which wait
for in-flight writes to flush - all data write requests set ONDISK.
However, the pool perm check code introduced in 4.2 sends a write
request with only ACK set. An unfortunately timed syncfs can then hang
forever: r_safe_completion won't be signaled because only an unsafe
reply was requested.
We could patch ceph_osdc_sync() to skip !ONDISK write requests, but
that is somewhat incomplete and yet another special case. Instead,
rename this completion to r_done_completion and always signal it when
the OSD client is done with the request, whether unsafe, safe, or
error. This is a bit cleaner and helps with the cancellation code.

This patch series adds a driver for a paravirtual RDMA device. The
device is developed for VMware's Virtual Machines and allows existing RDMA
applications to continue to use existing Verbs API when deployed in VMs
on ESXi. We recently did a presentation in the OFA Workshop [1] regarding
this device.
Description and RDMA Support
============================
The virtual device is exposed as a dual function PCIe device. One part
is a virtual network device (VMXNet3) which provides networking properties
like MAC, IP addresses to the RDMA part of the device. The networking
properties are used to register GIDs required by RDMA applications to
communicate.
These patches add support and the all required infrastructure for
letting applications use such a device. We support the mandatory Verbs API as
well as the base memory management extensions (Local Inv, Send with Inv and
Fast Register Work Requests). We currently support both Reliable Connected
and Unreliable Datagram QPs but do not support Shared Receive Queues
(SRQs).
Also, we support the following types of Work Requests:
o Send/Receive (with or without Immediate Data)
o RDMA Write (with or without Immediate Data)
o RDMA Read
o Local Invalidate
o Send with Invalidate
o Fast Register Work Requests
This version only adds support for version 1 of RoCE. We will add RoCEv2
support in a future patch. We do support registration of both MAC-based
and IP-based GIDs. I have also created a git tree for our user-level driver
[2].
Testing
=======
We have tested this internally for various types of Guest OS - Red Hat,
Centos, Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/16.04, Oracle Enterprise Linux, SLES 12
using backported versions of this driver. The tests included several
runs of the performance tests (included with OFED), Intel MPI PingPong
benchmark on OpenMPI, krping for FRWRs. Mellanox has been kind enough
to test the backported version of the driver internally on their hardware
using a VMware provided ESX build. I have also applied and tested this
with Doug's k.o/for-4.9 branch (commit 5603910b). Note, that this patch
series should be applied all together. I split out the commits so that
it may be easier to review.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"No dramatic changes are found in this development cycle, but as usual,
many commits are applied in a wide range of drivers.
Most of big changes are in ASoC, where a few bits of framework work
and quite a lot of cleanups and improvements to existing code have
been done. The rest are usual stuff, a few HD-audio and USB-audio
quirks and fixes, as well as the drop of kthread usages in the whole
subsystem.
Below are some highlights:
ASoC:
- support for stereo DAPM controls
- some initial work on the of-graph sound card
- regmap conversions of the remaining AC'97 drivers
- a new version of the topology ABI; this should be backward
compatible
- updates / cleanups of rsnd, sunxi, sti, nau8825, samsung, arizona,
Intel skylake, atom-sst
- new drivers for Cirrus Logic CS42L42, Qualcomm MSM8916-WCD, and
Realtek RT5665
USB-audio:

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"This merge request includes the dax-4.0-iomap-pmd branch which is
needed for both ext4 and xfs dax changes to use iomap for DAX. It also
includes the fscrypt branch which is needed for ubifs encryption work
as well as ext4 encryption and fscrypt cleanups.
Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, especially making sure ext4 is robust
against maliciously corrupted file systems --- especially maliciously
corrupted xattr blocks and a maliciously corrupted superblock. Also
fix ext4 support for 64k block sizes so it works well on ppcle. Fixed
mbcache so we don't miss some common xattr blocks that can be merged"
