Pull MMC updates from Chris Ball:
"MMC highlights for 3.8:
Core:
- Expose access to the eMMC RPMB ("Replay Protected Memory Block")
area by extending the existing mmc_block ioctl.
- Add SDIO powered-suspend DT properties to the core MMC DT binding.
- Add no-1-8-v DT flag for boards where the SD controller reports
that it supports 1.8V but the board itself has no way to switch to
1.8V.
- More work on switching to 1.8V UHS support using a vqmmc regulator.
- Fix up a case where the slot-gpio helper may fail to reset the host
controller properly if a card was removed during a transfer.
- Fix several cases where a broken device could cause an infinite
loop while we wait for a register to update.
Drivers:
- at91-mci: Remove obsolete driver, atmel-mci handles these devices
now.
- sdhci-dove: Allow using GPIOs for card-detect notifications.
- sdhci-esdhc: Fix for recovering from ADMA errors on broken silicon.
- sdhci-s3c: Add pinctrl support.
- wmt-sdmmc: New driver for WonderMedia SD/MMC controllers."

In case of rehashing, introduce a global variable 'br_mdb_rehash_seq'
which gets increased every time when rehashing, and assign
net->dev_base_seq + br_mdb_rehash_seq to cb->seq.
In theory cb->seq could be wrapped to zero, but this is not
easy to fix, as net->dev_base_seq is not visible inside
br_mdb_rehash(). In practice, this is rare.

This patch introduce a new worker pool named "flush_workers", and if we
want to force all the inode with pending delalloc to the disks, we can
queue those inodes into the work queue of the worker pool, in this way,
those inodes will be flushed by multi-task.

Dave gave me an image of a very full file system that would abort the
transaction because it ran out of space while committing the transaction.
This is because we would think there was plenty of room to create a snapshot
even though the global reserve was not full. This happens because we
calculate the global reserve size before we unpin any space, so after we
unpin the space we allow reservations to occur even though we haven't
reserved all of the space for our global reserve. Fix this by adding to the
global reserve while unpinning in order to make sure we always have enough
space to do our work. With this patch we no longer end up with an aborted
transaction, we return ENOSPC properly to the person trying to create the
snapshot. Thanks,

Since we don't use MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_MOVING to add nritems

Key MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_MOVING means that we're doing memmove inside
an extent buffer node, and the node's number of items remains unchanged
(unless we are inserting a single pointer, but we have MOD_LOG_KEY_ADD for that).
So we don't need to increase node's number of items during rewinding,
otherwise we may get an node larger than leafsize and cause general protection
errors later.
Here is the details,
- If we do memory move for inserting a single pointer, we need to
add node's nritems by one, and we honor MOD_LOG_KEY_ADD for adding.
- If we do memory move for deleting a single pointer, we need to
decrease node's nritems by one, and we honor MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE for
deleting.
- If we do memory move for balance left/right, we need to decrease
node's nritems, and we honor MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE for balaning.

When we find a bitmap free space entry, we may check the previous extent
entry covers the offset or not. But if we find this entry is also a bitmap
entry, we will continue to check the previous entry of the current one by
a while loop. It is unnecessary because it is impossible that the extent
entry which is in front of a bitmap entry can cover the offset of the entry
after that bitmap entry.

Alex reported a problem where we were writing between chunks on a rbd
device. The thing is we do bio_add_page using logical offsets, but the
physical offset may be different. So when we map the bio now check to see
if the bio is still ok with the physical offset, and if it is not split the
bio up and redo the bio_add_page with the physical sector. This fixes the
problem for Alex and doesn't affect performance in the normal case. Thanks,

In some places(such as: evicting inode), we just can not flush the reserved
space of delalloc, flushing the delayed directory index and delayed inode
is OK, but we don't try to flush those things and just go back when there is
no enough space to be reserved. This patch fixes this problem.
We defined 3 types of the flush operations: NO_FLUSH, FLUSH_LIMIT and FLUSH_ALL.
If we can in the transaction, we should not flush anything, or the deadlock
would happen, so use NO_FLUSH. If we flushing the reserved space of delalloc
would cause deadlock, use FLUSH_LIMIT. In the other cases, FLUSH_ALL is used,
and we will flush all things.

Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support
was added.
There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete()
without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive()
Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI
poll.
We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue,
as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway.
As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both
producer and consumer run under BH context.

If we have a read oplock and set a read lock in it, we can't write to the
locked area - so, filemap_fdatawrite may fail with a no information for a
userspace application even if we request a write to non-locked area. Fix
this by populating the page cache without marking affected pages dirty
after a successful write directly to the server.
Also remove CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 ifdefs because it's suitable for both CIFS

Currently the code takes care to ensure that the prefixpath has a
leading '/' delimiter. What if someone passes us a prefixpath with a
leading '\\' instead? The code doesn't properly handle that currently
AFAICS.
Let's just change the code to skip over any leading delimiter character
when copying the prepath. Then, fix up the users of the prepath option
to prefix it with the correct delimiter when they use it.
Also, there's no need to limit the length of the prefixpath to 1k. If
the server can handle it, why bother forbidding it?

Make sure we free any existing memory allocated for vol->UNC, just in
case someone passes in multiple unc= options.
Get rid of the check for too long a UNC. The check for >300 bytes seems
arbitrary. We later copy this into the tcon->treeName, for instance and
it's a lot shorter than 300 bytes.
Eliminate an extra kmalloc and copy as well. Just set the vol->UNC
directly with the contents of match_strdup.
Establish that the UNC should be stored with '\\' delimiters. Use
convert_delimiter to change it in place in the vol->UNC.
Finally, move the check for a malformed UNC into
cifs_parse_mount_options so we can catch that situation earlier.

if ore_write() fails, we would unlock the pages of pcol, which is now
empty, rather than pcol_copy which owns the pages when ore_write() is
called. this means that no pages will actually be unlocked
(pcol.nr_pages == 0) and the writing process (more accurately, the
syncing process) will hang waiting for a writeback notification that
never comes.
moreover, if ore_write() fails, pcol_free() is called for pcol, whereas
pcol_copy is the object owning the ore_io_state, thus leaking the
ore_io_state.

rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection
against anon vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive

Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense
threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like
this:

With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat

that case - suggested by Rik van Riel.

Note: This is very heavily based on a patch from Peter Zijlstra with
fixes from Ingo Molnar, Hugh Dickins and Johannes Weiner. That patch
put a lot of migration logic into mm/huge_memory.c where it does
not belong. This version puts tries to share some of the migration
logic with migrate_misplaced_page. However, it should be noted
that now migrate.c is doing more with the pagetable manipulation
than is preferred. The end result is barely recognisable so as
before, the signed-offs had to be removed but will be re-added if
the original authors are ok with it.
Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.
It uses the page lock to serialize. No migration pte dance is
necessary because the pte is already unmapped when we decide
to migrate.

Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running
on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new
node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until
it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are
trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care
about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node.
This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow
start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This
will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings
early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load
balancing to take place.

This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the
enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing. The existance

The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.
This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.
This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

unlikely task<->node relationships
Note: This two-stage filter was taken directly from the sched/numa patch
"sched, numa, mm: Add the scanning page fault machinery" but is
only a partial extraction. As the end result is not necessarily
recognisable, the signed-offs-by had to be removed. Will be added
back if requested.
While it is desirable that all threads in a process run on its home
node, this is not always possible or necessary. There may be more
threads than exist within the node or the node might over-subscribed
with unrelated processes.
This can cause a situation whereby a page gets migrated off its home
node because the threads clearing pte_numa were running off-node. This
patch uses page->last_nid to build a two-stage filter before pages get
migrated to avoid problems with short or unlikely task<->node
relationships.

referenced by a process that was running off its home node.

Currently the rate of scanning for an address space is controlled
by the individual tasks. The next scan is simply determined by
2*p->numa_scan_period.
The 2*p->numa_scan_period is arbitrary and never changes. At this point
there is still no proper policy that decides if a task or process is
properly placed. It just scans and assumes the next NUMA fault will
place it properly. As it is assumed that pages will get properly placed
over time, increase the scan window each time a fault is incurred. This
is a big assumption as noted in the comments.
It should be noted that changing to p->numa_scan_period will increase
system CPU usage because now the scanning rate has effectively doubled.
If that is a problem then the min_rate should be made 200ms instead of
restoring the 2* logic.

If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them
are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just
bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding
any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node
is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts
the NUMA faulting statistics.

NOTE: This is very heavily based on similar logic in autonuma. It should
be signed off by Andrea but because there was no standalone
patch and it's sufficiently different from what he did that
the signed-off is omitted. Will be added back if requested.
If a large number of pages are misplaced then the memory bus can be
saturated just migrating pages between nodes. This patch rate-limits
the amount of memory that can be migrating between nodes.

This defines the per-node data used by Migrate On Fault in order to
rate limit the migration. The rate limiting is applied independently
to each destination node.
