The argument names for hlist_add_after() are poorly chosen because they
look the same as the ones for hlist_add_before() but have to be used
differently.
hlist_add_after_rcu() has made a better choice.

Commit a8fe19ebfbfd ("kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console
loglevels") makes consistent use of symbolic values for printk() log
levels.
The naming scheme used is different from the one used for
DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL though. Change that symbol name to be
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT for consistency. And because the value of that
symbol comes from a similarly-named config option, rename
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL as well.

Add zpool api.
zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed
memory. Users can select what backend to use; currently the only
implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two
compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density
implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.

Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to
size_t.
Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud
implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's
limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use
size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.

sync
When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
methods:
1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module. The
funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput. This method was rejected
by several ker= nel maintainers.
2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.
The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
itself. As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
to be done in a delayed fashion.
This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
th= at function with call_srcu. In that function, the kernel module
releases its object. To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
needs to call b= efore that a new function called
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.
This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

__kmap_atomic_idx is per_cpu variable. Each CPU can use KM_TYPE_NR
entries from FIXMAP i.e. from 0 to KM_TYPE_NR - 1. Allowing
__kmap_atomic_idx to over- shoot to KM_TYPE_NR can mess up with next
CPU's 0th entry which is a bug. Hence BUG_ON if __kmap_atomic_idx >=
KM_TYPE_NR.

try_set_zonelist_oom() and clear_zonelist_oom() are not named properly
to imply that they require locking semantics to avoid out_of_memory()
being reordered.
zone_scan_lock is required for both functions to ensure that there is
proper locking synchronization.
Rename try_set_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_trylock() and rename
clear_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_unlock() to imply there is proper
locking semantics.
At the same time, convert oom_zonelist_trylock() to return bool instead
of int since only success and failure are tested.

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for
optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When
CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist
for first_online_node may become NULL.
The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for
the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler.
Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

This series of patches fixes a problem when adding memory in bad manner.
For example: for a x86_64 machine booted with "mem=400M" and with 2GiB
memory installed, following commands cause problem:
# echo 0x40000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
[ 28.613895] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x40000000-0x47ffffff]

This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a
section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL
for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE.
After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from
zoneinfo:

This series of patches solve the problem by checking ZONE_MOVABLE when
choosing zone for new memory. If new memory is inside or higher than
ZONE_MOVABLE, makes it go there instead.

This patch (of 7):
Introduce zone_for_memory() in arch independent code for
arch_add_memory() use.
Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it. However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.
should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE. If it
has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and
movable memory. If new memory is higher than movable, it should be
added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.

The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.
One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.
On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.
On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

reclaim lines
The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.
The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.
This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.
On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

In original code, zone_movable_is_highmem() assumes ZONE_MOVABLE not
highmem if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is not set. In online_pages,
it extracts pages from the previous zone before ZONE_MOVABLE. Which is
logically inconsistent:
If HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is turned off but HIGHMEM is on,
zone_movable_is_highmem() makes movable zone not highmem, but
online_pages() extracts pages from ZONE_HIGHMEM.
This inconsistency doesn't cause real problem currently, because all
architectures support online_pages also have HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.
However, fixing it makes code clear, and also helps futher coding.

Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA
subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc. They have their own code
to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my
guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants
to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.
When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places
to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change
this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this
patch.
This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new
feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying &
pasting this reserved area management code.
In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA
reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves
core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions.
There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

In store_mem_state(), we have:
...
334 else if (!strncmp(buf, "offline", min_t(int, count, 7)))
335 online_type = -1;
...
355 case -1:
356 ret = device_offline(&mem->dev);
357 break;

Here, "offline" is hard coded as -1.
This patch does the following renaming:
ONLINE_KEEP -> MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP
ONLINE_KERNEL -> MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL
ONLINE_MOVABLE -> MMOP_ONLINE_MOVABLE
and introduces MMOP_OFFLINE = -1 to avoid hard coding.

Commit 85816794240b ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission
events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are
pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed.
These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again
from fsnotify_flush_notify().
Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte
in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP.
The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved
beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK
and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not
necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack
and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams
from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique
correlate looped data with original send() call (for application
level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex,
requiring packet inspection.
Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with
send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of
sock_extended_err.
The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the
socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx
timestamp generation is enabled.
The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to
avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0.
The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling
does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible
to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced
first.

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit.
Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags.
Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt.
SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive
timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING
read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined
implicitly as timespec[3].
1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and
2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always
accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field
ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to
define the existing behavior.
The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to
sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING.

This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging
by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay.
When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers
send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue
and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly
received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP
SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April
2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows
2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also
been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked
into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014,
where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box.
Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed
range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux
SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear
the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit
(potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate
just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the
sender.
To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it
does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the
receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs
that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging
persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard
and enter CA_Loss.
A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at
56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested
paths, we wait for at least RTT/2.
We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix
of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and
found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging:
(1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms
(2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2
In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by
75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without
any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

The getrandom(2) system call was requested by the LibreSSL Portable
developers. It is analoguous to the getentropy(2) system call in
OpenBSD.
The rationale of this system call is to provide resiliance against
file descriptor exhaustion attacks, where the attacker consumes all
available file descriptors, forcing the use of the fallback code where
/dev/[u]random is not available. Since the fallback code is often not
well-tested, it is better to eliminate this potential failure mode
entirely.
The other feature provided by this new system call is the ability to
request randomness from the /dev/urandom entropy pool, but to block
until at least 128 bits of entropy has been accumulated in the
/dev/urandom entropy pool. Historically, the emphasis in the
/dev/urandom development has been to ensure that urandom pool is
initialized as quickly as possible after system boot, and preferably
before the init scripts start execution.
This is because changing /dev/urandom reads to block represents an
interface change that could potentially break userspace which is not
acceptable. In practice, on most x86 desktop and server systems, in
general the entropy pool can be initialized before it is needed (and
in modern kernels, we will printk a warning message if not). However,
on an embedded system, this may not be the case. And so with this new
interface, we can provide the functionality of blocking until the
urandom pool has been initialized. Any userspace program which uses
this new functionality must take care to assure that if it is used
during the boot process, that it will not cause the init scripts or
other portions of the system startup to hang indefinitely.
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/random.h>
int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The system call getrandom() fills the buffer pointed to by buf
with up to buflen random bytes which can be used to seed user
space random number generators (i.e., DRBG's) or for other
cryptographic uses. It should not be used for Monte Carlo
simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing
probabilistic sampling.
If the GRND_RANDOM flags bit is set, then draw from the
/dev/random pool instead of the /dev/urandom pool. The
/dev/random pool is limited based on the entropy that can be
obtained from environmental noise, so if there is insufficient
entropy, the requested number of bytes may not be returned.
If there is no entropy available at all, getrandom(2) will
either block, or return an error with errno set to EAGAIN if
the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags.
If the GRND_RANDOM bit is not set, then the /dev/urandom pool
will be used. Unlike using read(2) to fetch data from
/dev/urandom, if the urandom pool has not been sufficiently
initialized, getrandom(2) will block (or return -1 with the
errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags).
The getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD can be emulated using
the following function:
int getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen)
{
int ret;
if (buflen > 256)
goto failure;
ret = getrandom(buf, buflen, 0);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret == buflen)
return 0;
failure:
errno = EIO;
return -1;
}
RETURN VALUE
On success, the number of bytes that was filled in the buf is
returned. This may not be all the bytes requested by the
caller via buflen if insufficient entropy was present in the
/dev/random pool, or if the system call was interrupted by a
signal.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid flag was passed to getrandom(2)
EFAULT buf is outside the accessible address space.
EAGAIN The requested entropy was not available, and
getentropy(2) would have blocked if the
GRND_NONBLOCK flag was not set.
EINTR While blocked waiting for entropy, the call was
interrupted by a signal handler; see the description
of how interrupted read(2) calls on "slow" devices
are handled with and without the SA_RESTART flag
in the signal(7) man page.
NOTES
For small requests (buflen <= 256) getrandom(2) will not
return EINTR when reading from the urandom pool once the
entropy pool has been initialized, and it will return all of
the bytes that have been requested. This is the recommended
way to use getrandom(2), and is designed for compatibility
with OpenBSD's getentropy() system call.
However, if you are using GRND_RANDOM, then getrandom(2) may
block until the entropy accounting determines that sufficient
environmental noise has been gathered such that getrandom(2)
will be operating as a NRBG instead of a DRBG for those people
who are working in the NIST SP 800-90 regime. Since it may
block for a long time, these guarantees do *not* apply. The
user may want to interrupt a hanging process using a signal,
so blocking until all of the requested bytes are returned
would be unfriendly.
For this reason, the user of getrandom(2) MUST always check
the return value, in case it returns some error, or if fewer
bytes than requested was returned. In the case of
!GRND_RANDOM and small request, the latter should never
happen, but the careful userspace code (and all crypto code
should be careful) should check for this anyway!
Finally, unless you are doing long-term key generation (and
perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using
GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for
/dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be
sufficient for all purposes. The disadvantage of GRND_RANDOM
is that it can block, and the increased complexity required to
deal with partially fulfilled getrandom(2) requests.

Conflicts:
net/6lowpan/iphc.c
Minor conflicts in iphc.c were changes overlapping with some
style cleanups.
John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this last(?) batch of wireless change intended for the
3.17 stream...
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"This is a rather quiet one, we have:
- A new driver from ST Microelectronics for their NCI ST21NFCB,
including device tree support.
- p2p support for the ST21NFCA driver
- A few fixes an enhancements for the NFC digital laye"
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Michal and Janusz did some important RX aggregation fixes, basically we
were missing RX reordering altogether. The 10.1 firmware doesn't support
Ad-Hoc mode and Michal fixed ath10k so that it doesn't advertise Ad-Hoc
support with that firmware. Also he implemented a workaround for a KVM
issue."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo and Johan say:
"To quote Gustavo from his previous request:
'Some last minute fixes for -next. We have a fix for a use after free in
RFCOMM, another fix to an issue with ADV_DIRECT_IND and one for ADV_IND with
auto-connection handling. Last, we added support for reading the codec and
MWS setting for controllers that support these features.'
Additionally there are fixes to LE scanning, an update to conform to the 4.1
core specification as well as fixes for tracking the page scan state. All
of these fixes are important for 3.17."
And,
"We've got:
- 6lowpan fixes/cleanups
- A couple crash fixes, one for the Marvell HCI driver and another in LE SMP.
- Fix for an incorrect connected state check
- Fix for the bondable requirement during pairing (an issue which had
crept in because of using "pairable" when in fact the actual meaning
was "bondable" (these have different meanings in Bluetooth)"
Along with those are some late-breaking hardware support patches in
brcmfmac and b43 as well as a stray ath9k patch.
