      blk-mq: improve heavily contended tag case · 4e5dff41
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Even with a number of waitqueues, we can get into a situation where we
are heavily contended on the waitqueue lock. I got a report on spc1
where we're spending seconds doing this. Arguably the use case is nasty,
I reproduce it with one device and 1000 threads banging on the device.
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be handling it better.

What ends up happening is that a thread will fail to get a tag, add
itself to the waitqueue, and subsequently get woken up when a tag is
freed - only to find itself going back to sleep on the waitqueue.

Instead of waking all threads, use an exclusive wait and wake up our
sbitmap batch count instead. This seems to work well for me (massive
improvement for this use case), and it survives basic testing. But I
haven't fully verified it yet.

An additional improvement is running the queue and checking for a new
tag BEFORE needing to add ourselves to the waitqueue.

      Pull rdma fixes from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "More fixes from testing done on the rc kernel, including more SELinux
  testing. Looking forward, lockdep found regression today in ipoib
  which is still being fixed.

  Summary:

   - Fix for SELinux on the umad SMI path. Some old hardware does not
     fill the PKey properly exposing another bug in the newer SELinux
     code.

   - Check the input port as we can exceed array bounds from this user
     supplied value

   - Users are unable to use the hash field support as they want due to
     incorrect checks on the field restrictions, correct that so the
     feature works as intended

   - User triggerable oops in the NETLINK_RDMA handler

   - cxgb4 driver fix for a bad interaction with CQ flushing in iser
     caused by patches in this merge window, and bad CQ flushing during
     normal close.

   - Unbalanced memalloc_noio in ipoib in an error path"

      Pull NFS client fixes from Anna Schumaker:
 "This has two stable bugfixes, one to fix a BUG_ON() when
  nfs_commit_inode() is called with no outstanding commit requests and
  another to fix a race in the SUNRPC receive codepath.

  Additionally, there are also fixes for an NFS client deadlock and an
  xprtrdma performance regression.

  Summary:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - NFS: Avoid a BUG_ON() in nfs_commit_inode() by not waiting for a
     commit in the case that there were no commit requests.
   - SUNRPC: Fix a race in the receive code path

  Other fixes:
   - NFS: Fix a deadlock in nfs client initialization
   - xprtrdma: Fix a performance regression for small IOs"

      Revert "mm: replace p??_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths" · f6f37321
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c, c7da82b8, and e7fe7b5c.

We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.

Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was.  Dave
Hansen says:

 "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
  and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
  current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
  new p??_access_permitted() calls.

  We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
  consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
  because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
  explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"

It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
key bits at this level at all.  But one possible eventual solution is to
make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.

We'll see.

Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
pages, but it would be a good check to have back.  Because we have no
generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
commit e585513b ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
get_user_page_fast() implementation").
