      Merge tag 'ktest-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest · 8557b8e4

      Pull ktest fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Greg Kroah-Hartman reported to me that the ktest of v4.11-rc1 locked
  up in an infinite loop while doing the make mrproper.

  Looking into the cause I noticed that a recent update to the function
  run_command (used for running all shell commands, including "make
  mrproper") changed the internal loop to use the function
  wait_for_input.

  The wait_for_input function uses select to look at two file
  descriptors. One is the file descriptor of the command it is running,
  the other is STDIN. The STDIN check was not checking the return status
  of the sysread call, and was also just writing a lot of data into
  syswrite without regard to the size of the data read.

  Changing the code to check the return status of sysread, and also to
  still process the passed in descriptor data without looping back to
  the select fixed Greg's problem.

  While looking at this code I also realized that the loop did not honor
  the timeout if STDIN always had input (or for some reason return
  error). this could prevent wait_for_input to timeout on the file
  descriptor it is suppose to be waiting for. That is fixed too"

      overlayfs: remove now unnecessary header file include · 04bb94b1
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This removes the extra include header file that was added in commit
e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi" now that it
is no longer needed.

There are probably other such includes that got added during the
scheduler header splitup series, but this is the one that annoyed me
personally and I know about.

      sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h> · bd0f9b35
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.

That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).

It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.

Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.

We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

      ktest: Make sure wait_for_input does honor the timeout · f7c6401f
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

      ktest: Fix while loop in wait_for_input · 99c014a8
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.
