Except for protecting all queue flag changes with the queue lock
this patch does not change any functionality.

<title>block: Fix a race between the cgroup code and request queue initialization</title>

<id>urn:sha1:498f6650aec864e331cae7575fec5f07781d0bf3</id>

Initialize the request queue lock earlier such that the following
race can no longer occur:

blk_init_queue_node()             blkcg_print_blkgs()
  blk_alloc_queue_node (1)
    q-&gt;queue_lock = &amp;q-&gt;__queue_lock (2)
    blkcg_init_queue(q) (3)
                                    spin_lock_irq(blkg-&gt;q-&gt;queue_lock) (4)
  q-&gt;queue_lock = lock (5)
                                    spin_unlock_irq(blkg-&gt;q-&gt;queue_lock) (6)

(1) allocate an uninitialized queue;
(2) initialize queue_lock to its default internal lock;
(3) initialize blkcg part of request queue, which will create blkg and
    then insert it to blkg_list;
(4) traverse blkg_list and find the created blkg, and then take its
    queue lock, here it is the default *internal lock*;
(5) *race window*, now queue_lock is overridden with *driver specified
    lock*;
(6) now unlock *driver specified lock*, not the locked *internal lock*,
    unlock balance breaks.

The changes in this patch are as follows:
- Move the .queue_lock initialization from blk_init_queue_node() into
  blk_alloc_queue_node().
- Only override the .queue_lock pointer for legacy queues because it
  is not useful for blk-mq queues to override this pointer.
- For all all block drivers that initialize .queue_lock explicitly,
  change the blk_alloc_queue() call in the driver into a
  blk_alloc_queue_node() call and remove the explicit .queue_lock
  initialization. Additionally, initialize the spin lock that will
  be used as queue lock earlier if necessary.

Pull kern_recvmsg reduction from Al Viro:
 "kernel_recvmsg() is a set_fs()-using wrapper for sock_recvmsg(). In
  all but one case that is not needed - use of ITER_KVEC for -&gt;msg_iter
  takes care of the data and does not care about set_fs(). The only
  exception is svc_udp_recvfrom() where we want cmsg to be store into
  kernel object; everything else can just use sock_recvmsg() and be done
  with that.

  A followup converting svc_udp_recvfrom() away from set_fs() (and
  killing kernel_recvmsg() off) is *NOT* in here - I'd like to hear what
  netdev folks think of the approach proposed in that followup)"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
     trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
     unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

   - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

   - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
     hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
     seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
     No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

   - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
     really exciting"

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>drbd: remove BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag from drbd_{md_,}io_bio_set</title>

<id>urn:sha1:974c58566e0b047d785701b6cf788a810072a4c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Careful analysis shows that this flag is not needed.

The RESCUER flag is only needed when a make_request_fn might:
 - allocate a bio from the bioset
 - submit it with generic_make_request() or similar
 - allocate another bio from the bioset

The second allocation can block until the first bio is processed, so
a rescuer is needed to ensure the first bio does get processed.  With
a rescuer it will only get processed when the make_request_fn completes.

In drbd, allocations from drbd_io_bio_set happen from drbd_new_req()
or w_restart_disk_io() which is only called to handle
RESTART_FROZEN_DISK_IO.

In former is called precisely once from the make_request_fn.
The later is never called by within the make_request_fn.

So there cannot be two allocations in the same call to the
make_request_fn, so a rescuer is not needed.

Allocations from drbd_md_io_bio_set are used for IO to the bitmap and
the activity log.  There are only accessed from worker threads and
workqueues, never directly from make_request_fn.
Again, the rescuer isn't needed.
