To avoid any ambiguity between vport index and vport number,
rename functions that had vport, to vport_num or vport_index appropriately.
vport_num is u16 hence change mlx5_eswitch_index_to_vport_num() return
type to u16.
vport_index is an int in vport array. Hence change input type of vport
index in mlx5_eswitch_index_to_vport_num() to int.
Correct multiple eswitch representor interfaces use type u16 of
rep->vport as type int vport_index.
Send vport FW commands with correct eswitch u16 vport_num instead
host int vport_index.

At ipv6 route dismantle, fib6_drop_pcpu_from() is responsible
for finding all percpu routes and set their ->from pointer
to NULL, so that fib6_ref can reach its expected value (1).
The problem right now is that other cpus can still catch the
route being deleted, since there is no rcu grace period
between the route deletion and call to fib6_drop_pcpu_from()
This can leak the fib6 and associated resources, since no
notifier will take care of removing the last reference(s).
I decided to add another boolean (fib6_destroying) instead
of reusing/renaming exception_bucket_flushed to ease stable backports,
and properly document the memory barriers used to implement this fix.
This patch has been co-developped with Wei Wang.

Zerocopy skbs without completion notification were added for packet
sockets with PACKET_TX_RING user buffers. Those signal completion
through the TP_STATUS_USER bit in the ring. Zerocopy annotation was
added only to avoid premature notification after clone or orphan, by
triggering a copy on these paths for these packets.
The mechanism had to define a special "no-uarg" mode because packet
sockets already use skb_uarg(skb) == skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg
for a different pointer.
Before deferencing skb_uarg(skb), verify that it is a real pointer.

23d0127096 ("fs/sync.c: make sync_file_range(2) use WB_SYNC_NONE

userspace to be able to issue background writeout and so waiting for
in-flight IO is undesirable there" and changes the writeback (back) to
WB_SYNC_NONE.
This claim is only partially true. It is true for users that use the flag
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE by itself, as does PostgreSQL, the user that was the
reason for changing to WB_SYNC_NONE writeback.
However, that claim is not true for users that use that flag combination
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_{WAIT_BEFORE|WRITE|_WAIT_AFTER}. Those users explicitly
requested to wait for in-flight IO as well as to writeback of dirty pages.
Re-brand that flag combination as SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE_AND_WAIT and use
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback to perform the full range sync request.

check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being
offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on
the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently
the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked
as vmemmap won't be isolated.
Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on
__offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value.
check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn
range.
While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages
and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

Patch series "Deferred page init improvements", v7.
This patchset is essentially a refactor of the page initialization logic
that is meant to provide for better code reuse while providing a
significant improvement in deferred page initialization performance.
In my testing on an x86_64 system with 384GB of RAM I have seen the
following. In the case of regular memory initialization the deferred init
time was decreased from 3.75s to 1.38s on average. This amounts to a 172%
improvement for the deferred memory initialization performance.
I have called out the improvement observed with each patch.
This patch (of 4):
Use the same approach that was already in use on Sparc on all the
architectures that support a 64b long.
This is mostly motivated by the fact that 7 to 10 store/move instructions
are likely always going to be faster than having to call into a function
that is not specialized for handling page init.
An added advantage to doing it this way is that the compiler can get away
with combining writes in the __init_single_page call. As a result the
memset call will be reduced to only about 4 write operations, or at least
that is what I am seeing with GCC 6.2 as the flags, LRU pointers, and
count/mapcount seem to be cancelling out at least 4 of the 8 assignments
on my system.
One change I had to make to the function was to reduce the minimum page
size to 56 to support some powerpc64 configurations.
This change should introduce no change on SPARC since it already had this
code. In the case of x86_64 I saw a reduction from 3.75s to 2.80s when
initializing 384GB of RAM per node. Pavel Tatashin tested on a system
with Broadcom's Stingray CPU and 48GB of RAM and found that
__init_single_page() takes 19.30ns / 64-byte struct page before this patch
and with this patch it takes 17.33ns / 64-byte struct page. Mike Rapoport
ran a similar test on a OpenPower (S812LC 8348-21C) with Power8 processor
and 128GB or RAM. His results per 64-byte struct page were 4.68ns before,
and 4.59ns after this patch.

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).
Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.
This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.
The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.
This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:

Patch series "mmu notifier provide context informations", v6.
Here I am not posting users of this, they already have been posted to
appropriate mailing list [6] and will be merge through the appropriate
tree once this patchset is upstream.
Note that this serie does not change any behavior for any existing code.
It just pass down more information to mmu notifier listener.
The rationale for this patchset:
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).
This patchset introduce a set of enums that can be associated with each of
the events triggering a mmu notifier:
- UNMAP: munmap() or mremap()
- CLEAR: page table is cleared (migration, compaction, reclaim, ...)
- PROTECTION_VMA: change in access protections for the range
- PROTECTION_PAGE: change in access protections for page in the range
- SOFT_DIRTY: soft dirtyness tracking
Being able to identify munmap() and mremap() from other reasons why the
page table is cleared is important to allow user of mmu notifier to update
their own internal tracking structure accordingly (on munmap or mremap it
is not longer needed to track range of virtual address as it becomes
invalid). Without this serie, driver are force to assume that every
notification is an munmap which triggers useless trashing within drivers
that associate structure with range of virtual address. Each driver is
force to free up its tracking structure and then restore it on next device
page fault. With this series we can also optimize device page table update. Patches to use this are at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/833https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/834https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/832https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/831
Moreover this can also be used to optimize out some page table updates
such as for KVM where we can update the secondary MMU directly from the
callback instead of clearing it.

ACKS RDMA https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/6/1473
This patch (of 8):
Simple helpers to test if range invalidation is blockable. Latter patches
use cocinnelle to convert all direct dereference of range-> blockable to
use this function instead so that we can convert the blockable field to an
unsigned for more flags.

hugetlb uses a fault mutex hash table to prevent page faults of the
same pages concurrently. The key for shared and private mappings is
different. Shared keys off address_space and file index. Private keys
off mm and virtual address. Consider a private mappings of a populated
hugetlbfs file. A fault will map the page from the file and if needed
do a COW to map a writable page.
Hugetlbfs hole punch uses the fault mutex to prevent mappings of file
pages. It uses the address_space file index key. However, private
mappings will use a different key and could race with this code to map
the file page. This causes problems (BUG) for the page cache remove
code as it expects the page to be unmapped. A sample stack is:
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page))
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:169!

There seems to be another potential COW issue/race with this approach
of different private and shared keys as noted in commit 8382d914eb
("mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability").
Since every hugetlb mapping (even anon and private) is actually a file
mapping, just use the address_space index key for all mappings. This
results in potentially more hash collisions. However, this should not
be the common case.

Regarding mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin,

A discussion of the overall problem is below.
As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are:
1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used
for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*().
2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to
invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of
call sites, and will take some time.
3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to
implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from
the existing struct page refcounting.
4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement
special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are
backed by a filesystem.
Overview
========
Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access
memory that is specified via process virtual address. For a long time,
the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations.
However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in
particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all
situations. That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for
potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field.
GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem
code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage
hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page. This is a
short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent
writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think)
any reported problems. Also, userspace was expected to understand and
accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to
that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(),
mremap(), etc.
Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device
drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period
of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...). This long-term pinning
makes an underlying design problem more obvious.
In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP:
Interactions with file systems
==============================
File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages,
and for data integrity. Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain
write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty
the pages, without the filesystem being aware. This can, in some cases
(depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device
options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel
bugs of the form:

backtrace:

__writeback_inodes_wb
wb_writeback
wb_workfn
process_one_work
worker_thread

ret_from_fork
...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer
heads attached:
({ \
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \
((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \
})
Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear:
"The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every
write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.
How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean
and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is
marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time."
This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems
that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support
get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write
directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since
about 2005 or so.
Long term GUP
=============
Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a
writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed. That can
lead to filesystem corruption. What happens is that when a file-backed
page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU
page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the
page, and that the page content is therefore stable. Unfortunately, the
GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they
instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not):
get_user_pages()
Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time,
and write to it at any time. Because "hardware" here means "devices
that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with
the kernel's file system code.
for each page
set_page_dirty
put_page()
In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern.
Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is
writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is
necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum,
encryption, RAID striping, etc. Furthermore, filesystem features like COW
(copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for
as memory for that memory range inside the file.
Corruption during write back is clearly possible here. To solve that, one
idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a
bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem. The filesystem would
work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the
original page. This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but
note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems
remain.
Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can
be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned. This will, however, alter and
limit some of those filesystem features. The only fix for that would be
to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates.
Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example. This aspect of the
problem is still under discussion.
Direct IO
=========
Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to
a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file. The pages written
to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO
is taking place. Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP
before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry.
The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by
before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and
tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with
the page contents. However, it's still a real problem. The solution is
to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead,
force GUP to take a write fault on those pages. That way, GUP will
properly synchronize with the active write back. This does not change the
required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race.
Details
=======
Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page(). This provides
a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call
put_user_page(), instead of put_page().
Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a
replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded
loops that release multiple pages. These may be used for subsequent
performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released.
This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2])
with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems.
Problem description: let's start with a bug report. Below, is what
happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages
via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them. Note that
the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern. The problem is
that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned,
and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean. So, when the
driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the
filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I
experienced:
