      ALSA: dice: ensure transmission speed for transmitted packets · b0e159fe
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      As of kernel 4.10, ALSA dice driver is expected to be used in default
speed. In most cases, it's S400. While, IEEE 1394 specification describes
the other speed such as S800.

According to 'TCD30XX User Guide', its link layer controller supports
several transmission speed up to S800[0]. In Dice software interface,
transmission speed in output direction can be configured by asynchronous
transaction to 'TX_SPEED' offset in its address space. S800 may be
available.

This commit improves configuration of transmission unit before starting
packet streaming for this purpose. The value of 'max_speed' in 'fw_device'
data structure has available maximum speed decided in bus arbitration,
thus it's within capacity of the unit.

      ALSA: firewire-lib: change structure member with proper type · 6b7e95d1
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      The 'amdtp_stream' structure is initialized by a call of
'amdtp_stream_init()'. Although a parameter of this function is for bit
flags of packet attributes, its type is enumerator.

This commit changes the type so that it's proper for a bit flags.

      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      ALSA fireworks driver has a bug not to call an API to destroy
'cmp_connection' structure for input direction. Currently this causes no
issues because it just destroys 'mutex' structure, while it's better to
fix it for future work.

      ALSA: oxfw: add support for Mackie Onyx 1640i · 03abd33a
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      As of kernel 4.10,  ALSA OXFW driver has no entry for Onyx 1640i produced
by Mackie (Loud Technologies). This commit supplement it.

I note that there're two models produced by Mackie (Loud Technologies),
which have the same name 'Onyx 1640i'. The former model based on OXFW970,
the latter model based on Dice. This is probably due to low quality of
communication of OXFW series.

Additionally, the tester reports his or her experiences to get unexpected
result at higher sampling transmission frequency as 88.2/96.0 kHz. We
didn't have further investigation yet[0].

      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

      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).
