Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens:
"Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been
trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the
CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d98b46 ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg
loop")
As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it
yields() the current virtual cpu. So we are talking of several
thousand cycles. Considering this enabling the lockless lockref
variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics. And also
some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more.
Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very
desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call
improved performance by 5%."

Linus suggested to replace
#ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX
#define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
#endif
with just a simple
#ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax
# define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
#endif
to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can
simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture
specific function instead of having to add a select statement in
their Kconfig in addition.

Prevent drivers relying on platform_driver_probe from requesting
deferred probing in order to avoid further futile probe attempts (either
the driver has been unregistered or its probe function has been set to
platform_drv_probe_fail when probing is retried).
Note that several platform drivers currently return subsystem errors
from probe and that these can include -EPROBE_DEFER (e.g. if a gpio
request fails).
Add a warning to platform_drv_probe that can be used to catch drivers
that inadvertently request probe deferral while using
platform_driver_probe.

A common way to handle kobject lifetimes in embedded in objects with
different lifetime rules is to pair the kobject with a struct completion.
This introduces a kobj_completion structure that can be used in place
of the pairing, along with several convenience functions for
initialization, release, and put-and-wait.

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.
This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.
There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
error on module builds. Reported by build test robot. Fixed.

There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace(). It is
backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two
separate layers.
There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace().
* sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of
the target directory. Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace
renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns.
* sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename
to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one.
The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit
@ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the
device layer.
While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the
recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior
difference.

For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated
to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing*
which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations
is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling
back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the
namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates
what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers.
This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling
to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the
long term.
This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir()
and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively.
ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the
above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which
directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the
same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's
namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will
be used from another file in the following patches.
This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.
* attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is
arbitrary.
* Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler
in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing
the whole stack backwards.
The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in
straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
unnecessary and against basic design principles.
This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that
* sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.
* sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
around the ns aware functions.
* ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at
this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.
* Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().
* driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.
This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu
hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed
since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu
watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh
period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main
period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the
watchdog is enabled.
So far so good. But...
But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler?
proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback
(watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The
problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling
period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it
has been set up.
This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer
parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead
to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious
lockup.
This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and
hrtimers if the threshold value has changed.
The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has
an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might
fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for
such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very
unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before.
It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there
doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate
that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we
cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context.
The update from the current CPU should be safe because
perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the
per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler
feet.
The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed
this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to
the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the
treshold is decreased).

Request remapper clones bios in a request to track the completion

Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
underlying device disabled it.
The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6eb
("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).
When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
actual IO errors to the upper layers.
This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
them after they fail for the first time.

Page tables in a read-only memory slot will currently cause a triple
fault because the page walker uses gfn_to_hva and it fails on such a slot.
OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with
that as long as the accessed/dirty bits are set. Save whether the slot
is readonly, and later check it when updating the accessed and dirty bits.

The "nomatch" commandline flag should invert the matching at testing,
similarly to the --return-nomatch flag of the "set" match of iptables.
Until now it worked with the elements with "nomatch" flag only. From
now on it works with elements without the flag too, i.e:
# ipset n test hash:net
# ipset a test 10.0.0.0/24 nomatch
# ipset t test 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 is NOT in set test.
# ipset t test 10.0.0.1 nomatch
10.0.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset a test 192.168.0.0/24
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1 nomatch
192.168.0.1 is NOT in set test.
Before the patch the results were
...
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1 nomatch

"Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations

particular significance, which make us the first and only open source
target to support the full set of VAAI primitives.
Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually
utilize these primitives. However, with server side support now in

make lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt the cpus that have
per-cpu free pages that can be drained.
This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for example,
otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily.
This is important on workloads where nohz cores are handling 10 Gb traffic
in userspace. Those CPUs do not enter the kernel and place pages into LRU
pagevecs and they really, really don't want to be interrupted, or they
drop packets on the floor.

Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
be accounted.
After Kame's commit 89c06bd52fb9 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
of per page_cgroup flag. But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
accounting". So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
modify page information -->(a)
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() -->(b)
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()
It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat(). It's full no-op for
!CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
on top in the slow path.
There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
And the lock order is:
--> memcg->move_lock
--> mapping->tree_lock

Current RESOURCE_MAX is ULONG_MAX, but the value we used to set resource
limit is unsigned long long, so we can set bigger value than that which is
strange. The XXX_MAX should be reasonable max value, bigger than that
should be overflow.
Notice that this change will affect user output of default *.limit_in_bytes:
before change:
$ cat /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes
9223372036854775807
after change:
$ cat /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes
18446744073709551615
But it doesn't alter the API in term of input - we can still use "echo -1
> *.limit_in_bytes" to reset the numbers to "unlimited".

The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock. When a
task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
there in the charge code until it succeeds. Comparably, any other task
that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved. The problem
is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
the selected OOM victim may need to exit.
For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
i_mutex. The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
and trying to acquire the i_mutex:
OOM invoking task:
mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0
mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0
add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140
add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50
grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0
ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270
generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290
__generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480
generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0 # takes ->i_mutex
do_sync_write+0xea/0x130
vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0
sys_write+0x51/0x90
system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
OOM kill victim:
do_truncate+0x58/0xa0 # takes i_mutex
do_last+0x250/0xa30
path_openat+0xd7/0x440
do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0
do_sys_open+0x106/0x240
sys_open+0x20/0x30
system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
killed task is not releasing any resources.
A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
the group's limit. But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks. For example one of the
sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.
This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:
1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
fault instead of looping on the charge attempt. This way, the OOM
victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.
2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
(either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
sleep in the charge context. Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
-ENOMEM. pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
restart the fault. The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
lock a sleeping task may hold.
