      Pull DAX updates from Dan Williams:
 "The completion of Jan's DAX work for 4.10.

  As I mentioned in the libnvdimm-for-4.10 pull request, these are some
  final fixes for the DAX dirty-cacheline-tracking invalidation work
  that was merged through the -mm, ext4, and xfs trees in -rc1. These
  patches were prepared prior to the merge window, but we waited for
  4.10-rc1 to have a stable merge base after all the prerequisites were
  merged.

  Quoting Jan on the overall changes in these patches:

     "So I'd like all these 6 patches to go for rc2. The first three
      patches fix invalidation of exceptional DAX entries (a bug which
      is there for a long time) - without these patches data loss can
      occur on power failure even though user called fsync(2). The other
      three patches change locking of DAX faults so that ->iomap_begin()
      is called in a more relaxed locking context and we are safe to
      start a transaction there for ext4"

  These have received a build success notification from the kbuild
  robot, and pass the latest libnvdimm unit tests. There have not been
  any -next releases since -rc1, so they have not appeared there"

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  ext4: Simplify DAX fault path
  dax: Call ->iomap_begin without entry lock during dax fault
  dax: Finish fault completely when loading holes
  dax: Avoid page invalidation races and unnecessary radix tree traversals
  mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate
  ext2: Return BH_New buffers for zeroed blocks

      iio: accel: st_accel: fix LIS3LV02 reading and scaling · 65e4345c
      Linus Walleij authored 
      The LIS3LV02 has a special bit that need to be set to get the
read values left aligned. Before this patch we get gibberish
like this:

iio_generic_buffer -a -c10 -n lis3lv02dl_accel
(...)
0.000000 -0.010042 -0.642688 19155832931907
0.000000 -0.010042 -0.642688 19155858751073

Which is because we read a raw value for 1g as 64 which is
the nominal 1024 for 1g shifted 4 bits to the left by being
right-aligned rather than left aligned.

Since all other sensors are left aligned, add some code to
set the special DAS (data alignment setting) bit to 1 so that
the right value is now read like this:

iio_generic_buffer -a -c10 -n lis3lv02dl_accel
(...)
0.000000 -0.147095 -10.120135 24761614364956
-0.029419 -0.176514 -10.120135 24761631624540

The scaling was weird as well: we have a gain of 1000 for 1g
and 3000 for 6g. I don't even remember how I came up with the
old values but they are wrong.

      mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page() · b91e1302
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.

However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.

On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd.  The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.

On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result.  However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.

So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too.  And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.

This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.

The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit.  Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.

So this introduces the new architecture primitive

    clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();

and adds the trivial implementation for x86.  We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better.  According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.

All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test".  After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.

(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar.

    The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because
    the destination address matches that of the device. Such an
    assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback
    mode.

 2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the
    RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with
    -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't
    reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if
    another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying
    to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from
    Daniel Borkmann.

 3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for
    the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we
    could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh.

 4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan.

Fix this by disabling NAPI first then freeing resource, and make sure
that we also cancel the restart task before doing the resource freeing.

      net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify · 628185cf
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an
endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp
which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to
trigger under load in the tc control path.

What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new
tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change()
with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl
mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there
is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded.

This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning
after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the
whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock
rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU.
Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain.
When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN
and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay
and redo A's request.

This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for
checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found
the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling
again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned
without error.

tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks
that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and
*back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus
for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and
link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless
loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path.

Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when
we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy
the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start
from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit
12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining
and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

      powerpc: Fix build warning on 32-bit PPC · 8ae679c4
      Larry Finger authored 
      I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:

    AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
  arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]

This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created.  That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").

The offending line does not make a lot of sense.  This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.

Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

despite the actual use of "time_start" not having changed in any way.
It appears that simply changing the type of ktime_t from a union to a
plain scalar type made gcc check the use.

The variable wasn't actually used uninitialized, but gcc apparently
failed to notice that the conditional around the use was exactly the
same as the conditional around the initialization of that variable.

Add an unnecessary initialization just to shut up the compiler.
