Pull mount flag updates from Al Viro: "Another chunk of fmount preparations from dhowells; only trivial conflicts for that part. It separates MS_... bits (very grotty mount(2) ABI) from the struct super_block ->s_flags (kernel-internal, only a small subset of MS_... stuff). This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the infrastructure is done here. The next step in that series is where the conflicts would be; that's the conversion of filesystems. It's purely mechanical and it's better done after the merge, so if you could run something like list=$(for i in MS_RDONLY MS_NOSUID MS_NODEV MS_NOEXEC MS_SYNCHRONOUS MS_MANDLOCK MS_DIRSYNC MS_NOATIME MS_NODIRATIME MS_SILENT MS_POSIXACL MS_KERNMOUNT MS_I_VERSION MS_LAZYTIME; do git grep -l $i fs drivers/staging/lustre drivers/mtd ipc mm include/linux; done|sort|uniq|grep -v '^fs/namespace.c$') sed -i -e 's/\<MS_RDONLY\>/SB_RDONLY/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOSUID\>/SB_NOSUID/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NODEV\>/SB_NODEV/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOEXEC\>/SB_NOEXEC/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_SYNCHRONOUS\>/SB_SYNCHRONOUS/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_MANDLOCK\>/SB_MANDLOCK/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_DIRSYNC\>/SB_DIRSYNC/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOATIME\>/SB_NOATIME/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NODIRATIME\>/SB_NODIRATIME/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_SILENT\>/SB_SILENT/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_POSIXACL\>/SB_POSIXACL/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_KERNMOUNT\>/SB_KERNMOUNT/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_I_VERSION\>/SB_I_VERSION/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_LAZYTIME\>/SB_LAZYTIME/g' \ $list and commit it with something along the lines of 'convert filesystems away from use of MS_... constants' as commit message, it would save a quite a bit of headache next cycle" * 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flags VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to sb_rdonly(sb) vfs: Add sb_rdonly(sb) to query the MS_RDONLY flag on s_flags

Pull zstd support from Chris Mason: "Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull request. zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code. Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd commit: I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using `silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following commands for the benchmark: sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0 sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`. The MB/s is computed with 1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash) which includes the time to copy from userland. The Adjusted MB/s is computed with 1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)). The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor requests. | Method | Size (B) | Time (s) | Ratio | MB/s | Adj MB/s | Mem (MB) | |----------|----------|----------|-------|---------|----------|----------| | none | 11988480 | 0.100 | 1 | 2119.88 | - | - | | zstd -1 | 73645762 | 1.044 | 2.878 | 203.05 | 224.56 | 1.23 | | zstd -3 | 66988878 | 1.761 | 3.165 | 120.38 | 127.63 | 2.47 | | zstd -5 | 65001259 | 2.563 | 3.261 | 82.71 | 86.07 | 2.86 | | zstd -10 | 60165346 | 13.242 | 3.523 | 16.01 | 16.13 | 13.22 | | zstd -15 | 58009756 | 47.601 | 3.654 | 4.45 | 4.46 | 21.61 | | zstd -19 | 54014593 | 102.835 | 3.925 | 2.06 | 2.06 | 60.15 | | zlib -1 | 77260026 | 2.895 | 2.744 | 73.23 | 75.85 | 0.27 | | zlib -3 | 72972206 | 4.116 | 2.905 | 51.50 | 52.79 | 0.27 | | zlib -6 | 68190360 | 9.633 | 3.109 | 22.01 | 22.24 | 0.27 | | zlib -9 | 67613382 | 22.554 | 3.135 | 9.40 | 9.44 | 0.27 | I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of decompression irrespective of the compression level. | Method | Time (s) | MB/s | Adjusted MB/s | Memory (MB) | |----------|----------|---------|---------------|-------------| | none | 0.025 | 8479.54 | - | - | | zstd -1 | 0.358 | 592.15 | 636.60 | 0.84 | | zstd -3 | 0.396 | 535.32 | 571.40 | 1.46 | | zstd -5 | 0.396 | 535.32 | 571.40 | 1.46 | | zstd -10 | 0.374 | 566.81 | 607.42 | 2.51 | | zstd -15 | 0.379 | 559.34 | 598.84 | 4.61 | | zstd -19 | 0.412 | 514.54 | 547.77 | 8.80 | | zlib -1 | 0.940 | 225.52 | 231.68 | 0.04 | | zlib -3 | 0.883 | 240.08 | 247.07 | 0.04 | | zlib -6 | 0.844 | 251.17 | 258.84 | 0.04 | | zlib -9 | 0.837 | 253.27 | 287.64 | 0.04 | I ran a long series of tests and benchmarks on the btrfs side and the gains are very similar to the core benchmarks Nick ran" * 'zstd-minimal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: squashfs: Add zstd support btrfs: Add zstd support lib: Add zstd modules lib: Add xxhash module

A previous patch which claimed to remove off by ones actually introduced them. strlen() returns the length of the string not including the NUL character. We are using strcpy() to copy "name" into a buffer which is ORANGEFS_MAX_XATTR_NAMELEN characters long.

Jan Kara authored
When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on 'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group. Fix the problem by creating __orangefs_set_acl() function that does not call posix_acl_update_mode() and use it when inheriting ACLs. That prevents SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create() anyway.

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function. We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and execute all the wake functions. We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of hot pages that are shared by many threads. Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups. The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped. This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and rescheduling latency. This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

The page_owner stacktrace was skipping caller function from stack entries but this was missed with commit f2ca0b55 ("mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace") Example page_owner entry after the patch: Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x8(ffffff80085fb714) PFN 654411 type Movable Block 639 type CMA Flags 0x0(ffffffbe5c7f12c0) [<ffffff9b64989c14>] post_alloc_hook+0x70/0x80 ...

The stacktraces always begin as follows: [<c00117b4>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x98 [<c0011870>] save_stack_trace+0x24/0x28 ... This is because the stack trace code includes the stack frames for itself. This is incorrect behaviour, and also leads to "skip" doing the wrong thing (which is the number of stack frames to avoid recording.) Perversely, it does the right thing when passed a non-current thread. Fix this by ensuring that we have a known constant number of frames above the main stack trace function, and always skip these. This was fixed for arch arm by commit 3683f44c ("ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktrace") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1504078343-28754-1-git-send-email-guptap@codeaurora.orgSigned-off-by: Prakash Gupta <guptap@codeaurora.org> Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d ("Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is no good answer for those questions. The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits. I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning. I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention. I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and only then add users with proper justification. This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term allocations.

gcc points out a minor bug in the handling of unknown cookie types, which could result in a string overflow when the integer is copied into a 3-byte string: fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function 'fscache_objlist_show': fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:19: error: 'sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=] sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type); ^~~~~~ fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:4: note: 'sprintf' output between 3 and 4 bytes into a destination of size 3 This is currently harmless as no code sets a type other than 0 or 1, but it makes sense to use snprintf() here to avoid overflowing the array if that changes.

IDR only supports non-negative IDs. There used to be a 'WARN_ON_ONCE(id < 0)' in idr_replace(), but it was intentionally removed by commit 2e1c9b28 ("idr: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs"). Then it was added back by commit 0a835c4f ("Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree"). However it seems that adding it back was a mistake, given that some users such as drm_gem_handle_delete() (DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE) pass in a value from userspace to idr_replace(), allowing the WARN_ON_ONCE to be triggered. drm_gem_handle_delete() actually just wants idr_replace() to return an error code if the ID is not allocated, including in the case where the ID is invalid (negative). So once again remove the bogus WARN_ON_ONCE(). This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3008 at lib/idr.c:157 idr_replace+0x1d8/0x240 lib/idr.c:157 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...
