      FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting · 9f10523f
      David Howells authored
      Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
      what operations are in what states.
      
      This is done by:
      
       (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
           state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
           of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
           queued or not.
      
           This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
           points and to prevent invalid state transitions.
      
       (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
           completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
           it.  The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
           in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).
      
       (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
           govern the state of an object:
      
      	(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
      	    and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.
      
      	(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
      	    taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
      	    run.  This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.
      
      	(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
      	    submitted and queued or are in progress.  It is decremented by
      	    fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().
      
           fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
           clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress.  That was leading to double
           decrements against fscache_cancel_op().
      
           fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops.  That was leading to
           double decrements against fscache_put_operation().
      
           fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
           based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
           will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
           cancelled or completed.  Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
           runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.
      
       (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
           provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.
      
           When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
           fscache_op_complete() is called.
      
           Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
           page we've been given to read or allocate for.  This includes places where
           we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
           accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.
      
      The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
      following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
      cookie by the netfs.  This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
      all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
      nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

      CacheFiles: Fix the marking of cached pages · c4d6d8db
      David Howells authored
      Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache
      so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to
      fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this.
      
      There are, however, two problems with this:
      
       (1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set
           PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()).
      
       (2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following
           fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied.
           This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the
           mark is applied.
      
      Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling
      fscache_end_io() and releasing the page.  This means that we can't take
      advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the
      marking routines.
      
      The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory
      pressure, for example:
      
      BUG: Bad page state in process tar  pfn:002da
      page:ffffea0000009fb0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x1447

       [<ffffffff813ac37b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
      
      As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.
      
      Instrumenting fscache_mark_pages_cached() to verify whether page->mapping was
      set appropriately showed that sometimes it wasn't.  This led to the discovery
      that sometimes the page has apparently been reclaimed by the time the marker
      got to see it.

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "This is a batch of fixes for arm-soc platforms, most of it is for OMAP
        but there are others too (i.MX, Tegra, ep93xx).  Fixes warnings, some
        broken platforms and drivers, etc.  A bit all over the map really."
      
      There was some concern about commit 68136b10 ("RM: sunxi: Change device
      tree naming scheme for sunxi"), but Tony says:
       "Looks like that's trivial to fix as needed, no need to rebuild the
        branch to fix that AFAIK.
      
        The fix can be done once Olof is available online again.

        issues with this branch."

      mm: do not sleep in balance_pgdat if there's no i/o congestion · cda73a10
      Zlatko Calusic authored
      On a 4GB RAM machine, where Normal zone is much smaller than DMA32 zone,
      the Normal zone gets fragmented in time.  This requires relatively more
      pressure in balance_pgdat to get the zone above the required watermark.
      Unfortunately, the congestion_wait() call in there slows it down for a
      completely wrong reason, expecting that there's a lot of
      writeback/swapout, even when there's none (much more common).  After a
      few days, when fragmentation progresses, this flawed logic translates to
      a very high CPU iowait times, even though there's no I/O congestion at
      all.  If THP is enabled, the problem occurs sooner, but I was able to
      see it even on !THP kernels, just by giving it a bit more time to occur.
      
      The proper way to deal with this is to not wait, unless there's
      congestion.  Thanks to Mel Gorman, we already have the function that
      perfectly fits the job.  The patch was tested on a machine which nicely
      revealed the problem after only 1 day of uptime, and it's been working
      great.

      UAPI: Fix up empty files in arch/cris/ · 77c8006d
      David Howells authored
      Fix up three empty files in arch/cris/ by sticking placeholder comments in
      there to prevent the patch program from deleting them.
      
      I decided not to delete the arch-v*/Kbuild files as it's possibly someone might
      want to use them for genhdr-y lines in the future, but they could be deleted
      and the pointer lines removed from asm/Kbuild.  The uapi/arch-v*/Kbuild files
      ought to be uneffected by such a change.
      
      asm/swab.h didn't have anything outside of __KERNEL__ so nothing appeared in
      uapi/asm/swab.h.  The latter, however, is exported by Kbuild.asm.
      
      This needs to be applied after the CRIS UAPI disintegration patch.

      dma-buf: might_sleep() in dma_buf_unmap_attachment() · b6fa0cd6
      Rob Clark authored
      We never really clarified if unmap could be done in atomic context.
      But since mapping might require sleeping, this implies mutex in use
      to synchronize mapping/unmapping, so unmap could sleep as well.  Add
      a might_sleep() to clarify this.
