The OCC driver uses a workqueue to manage calls through to the SBEFIFO,
which in turn uses a timer callback to execute FIFO transfers. To ease
observation of end-to-end interactions e.g. from userspace `cat`ing an
OCC hwmon attribute, add tracing to book-end SBEFIFO transfers. This
provides some perspective on the time taken for a single OCC operation
to take place.

An observation from trace output of the existing FSI tracepoints was
that the remote device was sometimes reporting as busy. Add a new
tracepoint reporting the busy count in order to get a better grip on how
often this is the case.

<content type='text'>
Two variables in ext4_inode_info, i_reserved_meta_blocks and
i_allocated_meta_blocks, are unused.  Removing them saves a little
memory per in-memory inode and cleans up clutter in several tracepoints.
Adjust tracepoint output from ext4_alloc_da_blocks() for consistency
and fix a typo and whitespace near these changes.

<title>mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.raptorcs.com/git/talos-obmc-linux/commit/?id=dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea'/>
<id>urn:sha1:dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

<title>mm/oom_kill.c: add tracepoints for oom reaper-related events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:422580c3cea7faaca67f6199375b79565d3d8ebd</id>
<content type='text'>
During the debugging of the problem described in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/17/542 and fixed by Tetsuo Handa in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/19/383 , I've found that the existing debug
output is not really useful to understand issues related to the oom
reaper.

So, I assume, that adding some tracepoints might help with debugging of
similar issues.

Trace the following events:
 1) a process is marked as an oom victim,
 2) a process is added to the oom reaper list,
 3) the oom reaper starts reaping process's mm,
 4) the oom reaper finished reaping,
 5) the oom reaper skips reaping.

How it works in practice? Below is an example which show how the problem
mentioned above can be found: one process is added twice to the
oom_reaper list:

  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ echo "oom:mark_victim" &gt; set_event
  $ echo "oom:wake_reaper" &gt;&gt; set_event
  $ echo "oom:skip_task_reaping" &gt;&gt; set_event
  $ echo "oom:start_task_reaping" &gt;&gt; set_event
  $ echo "oom:finish_task_reaping" &gt;&gt; set_event
  $ cat trace_pipe
          allocate-502   [001] ....    91.836405: mark_victim: pid=502
          allocate-502   [001] .N..    91.837356: wake_reaper: pid=502
          allocate-502   [000] .N..    91.871149: wake_reaper: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] ....    91.871177: start_task_reaping: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] .N..    91.879511: finish_task_reaping: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] ....    91.879580: skip_task_reaping: pid=502

<title>oom, trace: remove ENUM evaluation of COMPACTION_FEEDBACK</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7ab0e50ad0831e714dcdc3de44a7fe3887732b7c</id>
<content type='text'>
After enabling CONFIG_TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE (which will soon be renamed to
CONFIG_TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE), I am able to examine the enums that have
been evaluated:

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enum_map

(which will soon be renamed to eval_map)

And it showed some interesting results:

  [..]
  ZONE_MOVABLE 3 (oom)
  ZONE_NORMAL 2 (oom)
  ZONE_DMA32 1 (oom)
  ZONE_DMA 0 (oom)
  3 3 (oom)
  2 2 (oom)
  1 1 (oom)
  COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (oom)
  COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT 1 (oom)
  COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL 0 (oom)
  [..]
  ZONE_DMA 0 (vmscan)
  3 3 (vmscan)
  2 2 (vmscan)
  1 1 (vmscan)
  COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (vmscan)
  [..]
  ZONE_DMA 0 (kmem)
  3 3 (kmem)
  2 2 (kmem)
  1 1 (kmem)
  COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (kmem)
  [..]
  ZONE_DMA 0 (compaction)
  3 3 (compaction)
  2 2 (compaction)
  1 1 (compaction)
  COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (compaction)
  [..]

The name within the parenthesis are the trace systems that the enum/eval
maps are associated with. When there's a number evaluated to another
number, that tells me that the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() was used on a #define
and not an enum. As #defines get converted normally, they are not needed
to be evaluated.

Each of the above trace systems with the number to number evaluation
included the file include/trace/events/mmflags.h which has:

 /* High-level compaction status feedback */
 #define COMPACTION_FAILED       1
 #define COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN    2
 #define COMPACTION_PROGRESS     3

[..]

 #define COMPACTION_FEEDBACK             \
        EM(COMPACTION_FAILED,           "failed")       \
        EM(COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN,        "withdrawn")    \
        EMe(COMPACTION_PROGRESS,        "progress")

Which is still needed for the __print_symbolic() usage in the
trace_event.  But it is not needed to be evaluated.

Removing the evaluation part removes the unnecessary evaluations of
numbers to numbers.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've added new features such as disk quota and statx,
  and modified internal bio management flow to merge more IOs depending
  on block types. We've also made internal threads freezeable for
  Android battery life. In addition to them, there are some patches to
  avoid lock contention as well as a couple of deadlock conditions.

  Enhancements:
   - support usrquota, grpquota, and statx
   - manage DATA/NODE typed bios separately to serialize more IOs
   - modify f2fs_lock_op/wio_mutex to avoid lock contention
   - prevent lock contention in migratepage

  Bug fixes:
   - fix missing load of written inode flag
   - fix worst case victim selection in GC
   - freezeable GC and discard threads for Android battery life
   - sanitize f2fs metadata to deal with security hole
   - clean up sysfs-related code and docs"
