"drm/i915: Make unpin async" doesn't handle the unthrottled cursor updates correctly, leading to an apparent pin count leak. This is caught by the WARN_ON in i915_gem_object_do_pin which screams if we have more than DRM_I915_GEM_OBJECT_MAX_PIN_COUNT pins. Unfortuantely we can't just revert these two because this patch series came with a built-in bisect breakage in the form of temporarily removing the unthrottled cursor update hack for legacy cursor ioctl. Therefore there's no other option than to revert the entire pile :( There's one tiny conflict in intel_drv.h due to other patches, nothing serious. Normally I'd wait a bit longer with doing a maintainer revert, but since the minimal set of patches we need to revert (due to the bisect breakage) is so big, time is running out fast. And very soon (especially after a few attempts at fixing issues) it'll be really hard to revert things cleanly. Lessons learned: - Not a good idea to rush the review (done by someone fairly new to the area) and not make sure domain experts had a chance to read it. - Patches should be properly split up. I only looked at the two patches that should be reverted in detail, but both look like the mix up different things in one patch. - Patches really should have proper commit messages. Especially when doing more than one thing, and especially when touching critical and tricky core code. - Building a patch series and r-b stamping it when it has a built-in bisect breakage is not a good idea. - I also think we need to stop building up technical debt by postponing atomic igt testcases even longer. I think it's clear that there's enough corner cases in this beast that we really need to have the testcases _before_ the next step lands.

Daniel Vetter pointed out that vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() could be needed by audio clients as well. To avoid mistakes when someone adds conditions for these in the future, constrain the single existing condition to VGA clients by checking for PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY. This encompasses both PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA as well as PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D, which is used by some Nvidia Optimus GPUs. Any future checks for audio clients should then be constrained to PCI_BASE_CLASS_MULTIMEDIA. v6: Spun out from commit introducing vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() to keep it a pure refactoring change.

So far we've got one condition when DRM drivers need to defer probing on a dual GPU system and it's coded separately into each of the relevant drivers. As suggested by Daniel Vetter, deduplicate that code in the drivers and move it to a new vga_switcheroo helper. This yields better encapsulation of concepts and lets us add further checks in a central place. (The existing check pertains to pre-retina MacBook Pros and an additional check is expected to be needed for retinas.) One might be tempted to check deferred probing conditions in vga_switcheroo_register_client(), but this is usually called fairly late during driver load. The GPU is fully brought up and ready for switching at that point. On boot the ->probe hook is potentially called dozens of times until it finally succeeds, and each time we'd repeat bringup and teardown of the GPU, lengthening boot time considerably and cluttering logfiles. A separate helper is therefore needed which can be called right at the beginning of the ->probe hook. Note that amdgpu currently does not call this helper as the AMD GPUs built into MacBook Pros are only supported by radeon so far. v2: This helper could eventually be used by audio clients as well, so rephrase kerneldoc to refer to "client" instead of "GPU" and move the single existing check in an if block specific to PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA devices. Move documentation on that check from kerneldoc to a comment. (Daniel Vetter) v3: Mandate in kerneldoc that registration of client shall only happen after calling this helper. (Daniel Vetter) v4: Rebase on 412c8f7d ("drm/radeon: Return -EPROBE_DEFER when amdkfd not loaded") v5: Some Optimus GPUs use PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D, make sure those are matched as well. (Emil Velikov) v6: The if-condition referring to PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY may be considered a functional change. Move to a separate commit to keep this a pure refactoring change.

When a CRTC is going to be disabled, it's state may contain a display mode with zeroed content. This could be reproduced by HDMI cable hotplug out operation with legacy fbdev support in dual display cases. It would confuse driver's CRTC callback ->mode_fixup and make the total state be rejected. So, let's don't call the callback for the CRTC. Signed-off-by:

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is displayed in /proc/mounts. However, there is a problem that the options may disappear after remount. If we mount the filesystem with option1 and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1 and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs. To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints options that are currently selected. Signed-off-by:

Commit c8f33d0b ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition. However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL. In this case, kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with ENOMEM. This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL. The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin: "This series does several related things: - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use. (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case) - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the above. - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two 32-bit multiplies will do well enough. - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32. This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()") The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for 32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified" multipliers. The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those patches are last in the series. - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing. The patch in commit 0fed3ac8 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion. Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!) - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to. - Sort out partial_name_hash(). The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things: - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long) rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other than full_name_hash" Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.) On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from the H8/300 world" * 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux: h8300: Add <asm/hash.h> microblaze: Add <asm/hash.h> m68k: Add <asm/hash.h> <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions fs/namei.c: Improve dcache hash function Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64() Change hash_64() return value to 32 bits <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function Pull out string hash to <linux/stringhash.h> -

This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will still be bad in surrounding code.

Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways. If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32() will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop. Instead, use a shift-and-add sequence for the constant multiply. GCC knows how to do this, but it's not as clever as some. Signed-off-by: -

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet. This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares the existence of <asm/hash.h>. That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones. Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics. It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with the value 1, then equality is tested. Signed-off-by: -

Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86) each loop iteration. Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel), and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid slowing it down. There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that: 1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and 2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and 3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations. One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much. The key insights in this design are: 1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like. 2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three instructions. 3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state. With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster. 4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing; we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible. 5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing in fewer cycles. I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration (assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction): x ^= *input++; y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1); x += y; y = ROL(y, K2); y *= 9; Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible: if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at least 3 words of input are required to create a collision. (It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that it hashes all-zero to all-zero.) The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score. The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y, trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits), so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the shifts is odd and not too close to the word size. The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic before the hash value is used for anything. (Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.) Special thanks to Bruce fields for diligent testing which uncovered a nasty fencepost error in an earlier version of this patch. [checkpatch.pl formatting complaints noted and respectfully disagreed with.] Signed-off-by:

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6. To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified" multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32 for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition. Signed-off-by:

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return type of hash_long() consistent. It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation of hash_64 on 32-bit machines. I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped. Signed-off-by: -

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own, and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required for that. (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by: -
