Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.
This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.
I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io
The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).
Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.
Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed.
Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a
single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single
reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion
path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.
If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as
now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference
count when it's being put.

Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this
to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained,
so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of
ending IO.
Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.
For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()
substantially.

Pull crypto fixes from Herbert Xu:
"This fixes a build problem with bcm63xx and yet another fix to the
memzero_explicit function to ensure that the memset is not elided"
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6:
hwrng: bcm63xx - Fix driver compilation
lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination
In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.
Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.
It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:
static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
{
memset(s, 0, count);
barrier_data(s);
}
int main(void)
{
char buff[20];
memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
return 0;
}

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca
and 80f7fdb1c7.
The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.
As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.
Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

"This lays a little of the groundwork for upcoming Shared Virtual
Memory support — fixing some bogus #defines for capability bits and
adding the new ones, and starting to use the new wider page tables
where we can, in anticipation of actually filling in the new fields
therein.
It also allows graphics devices to be assigned to VM guests again.
This got broken in 3.17 by disallowing assignment of RMRR-afflicted
devices. Like USB, we do understand why there's an RMRR for graphics
devices — and unlike USB, it's actually sane. So we can make an
exception for graphics devices, just as we do USB controllers.
Finally, tone down the warning about the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit, due to
persistent requests. X2APIC_OPT_OUT was added to the spec as a nasty
hack to allow broken BIOSes to forbid us from using X2APIC when they
do stupid and invasive things and would break if we did.
Someone noticed that since Windows doesn't have full IOMMU support for
DMA protection, setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit made Windows avoid
initialising the IOMMU on the graphics unit altogether.
This means that it would be available for use in "driver mode", where
the IOMMU registers are made available through a BAR of the graphics
device and the graphics driver can do SVM all for itself.
So they started setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit on *all* platforms with
SVM capabilities. And even the platforms which *might*, if the
planets had been aligned correctly, possibly have had SVM capability
but which in practice actually don't"

Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells

Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
"More updates that usual this time. A few have performance impacts
which hould mostly be positive, but RAID5 (in particular) can be very
work-load ensitive... We'll have to wait and see.
Highlights:
- "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using
DLM. Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if
used. However it is looking good and mostly done and having in
mainline will help co-ordinate development.
- RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
- RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should help
performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
- RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically. The value
set is used as a minimum.
- Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
there is competing IO. How much faster depends on the speed of the
devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to
some extent"

The conversion of mac80211's station table to rhashtable had a bug
that I found by accident in code review, that hadn't been found as
rhashtable apparently managed to have a maximum hash chain length
of one (!) in all our testing.
In order to test the bug and verify the fix I set my rhashtable's
max_size very low (4) in order to force getting hash collisions.
At that point, rhashtable WARNed in rhashtable_insert_rehash() but
didn't actually reject the hash table insertion. This caused it to
lose insertions - my master list of stations would have 9 entries,
but the rhashtable only had 5. This may warrant a deeper look, but
that WARN_ON() just shouldn't happen.
Fix this by not returning true from rht_grow_above_100() when the
rhashtable's max_size has been reached - in this case the user is
explicitly configuring it to be at most that big, so even if it's
now above 100% it shouldn't attempt to resize.
This fixes the "lost insertion" issue and consequently allows my
code to display its error (and verify my fix for it.)

Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
"This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any
peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:
- MEMORY init (UEFI)
- ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)
- CPU init (FADT)
- GIC init (MADT)
- SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)
- ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)
ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This
has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
kernel. This pull request is the result of that work.
These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course,
there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
series has been merged.
Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
-next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly
half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.
So, we'll see how this goes. Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"

"This update contains:
- RENAME_WHITEOUT support
- conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters
- new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of

to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption
- rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.
- FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
file
- attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
filesystems
- Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
due to cascading failures in error conditions.
- lots of cleanups and bug fixes
One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
after the window opened. Even though a little late, they fix a user
reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested. I figured
there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be

v2: gracefully handle the case where some dentry pointers end up NULL
and be more dilligent about zeroing out dentry pointers
We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when
creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of
doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy
for that process prevents it.
This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance,
so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that.
While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated:
"No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so
please fix up the sunrpc code first."
This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void
return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those
functions.
This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the
kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason.
