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.

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.

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2.
This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures
the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the
ifdeffery. The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order
are each reduced to one byte.
This patch (of 8):
Instead of an ifdef block at the end of the struct, which needed its own
comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits
nicely with the existing comment.

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 396faf0303 ("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.

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 a459eeb7b8 ("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.

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

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.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):

A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:
- BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
Paolo.
- Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
Christoph.
- Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
- Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.
- A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
Johannes.
- Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
Weiping.
- Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
it's a stacked device.
- Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
- Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
quiescing.
- BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
- Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
- null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
- Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
me.
- sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.
- Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.
- Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
"A very busy release for regmap, all fairly specialist stuff but
useful:
- Support for disabling locking from Bartosz Golaszewski, allowing
users that handle their own locking to save some overhead.
- Support for hwspinlocks in syscons in MFD from Baolin Wang, this is
going through the regmap tree since the first users turned up some
some cases that needed interface tweaks with 0 being used as a
syscon identifier.
- Support for devices with no read or write flag from Andrew F.
Davis.
- Basic support for devices on SoundWire buses from Vinod Koul"
