Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "A few fixes for the current series. This contains: - Two fixes for NVMe: One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated insert/removal of the module. The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working. This used not to be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions, but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't successfully probe their NVMe device. Use a proper IRQ check and probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work around this. Both from Keith. - A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei. - A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user space to access the counter prior to initialization. Also from Ming Lei. - A fix for using the wrong congestion state, from Kaixu Xia" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: loop: fix filesystem corruption in case of aio/dio NVMe: Always use MSI/MSI-x interrupts NVMe: Fix reset/remove race writeback: fix the wrong congested state variable definition block: partition: initialize percpuref before sending out KOBJ_ADD

mm/gup: Remove the macro overload API migration helpers from the get_user*() APIs

2016-04-07T08:46:14+00:00

The pkeys changes brought about a truly hideous set of macros in: cde70140fed8 ("mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions") ... which macros are (ab-)using the fact that __VA_ARGS__ can be used to shift parameter positions in macro arguments without breaking the build and so can be used to call separate C functions depending on the number of arguments of the macro. This allowed easy migration of these 3 GUP APIs, as both these variants worked at the C level: old: ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); new: ret = get_user_pages(address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); ... while we also generated a (functionally harmless but noticeable) build time warning if the old API was used. As there are over 300 uses of these APIs, this trick eased the migration of the API and avoided excessive migration pain in linux-next. Now, with its work done, get rid of all of that complication and ugliness: 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) ... where the linecount of the migration hack was further inflated by the fact that there are NOMMU variants of these GUP APIs as well. Much of the conversion was done in linux-next over the past couple of months, and Linus recently removed all remaining old API uses from the upstream tree in the following upstrea commit: cb107161df3c ("Convert straggling drivers to new six-argument get_user_pages()") There was one more old-API usage in mm/gup.c, in the CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP code path that ARM, ARM64 and PowerPC uses. After this commit any old API usage will break the build.

Merge branch 'PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal'

2016-04-04T17:50:24+00:00

Merge PAGE_CACHE_SIZE removal patches from Kirill Shutemov: "PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The first patch with most changes has been done with coccinelle. The second is manual fixups on top. The third patch removes macros definition" [ I was planning to apply this just before rc2, but then I spaced out, so here it is right _after_ rc2 instead. As Kirill suggested as a possibility, I could have decided to only merge the first two patches, and leave the old interfaces for compatibility, but I'd rather get it all done and any out-of-tree modules and patches can trivially do the converstion while still also working with older kernels, so there is little reason to try to maintain the redundant legacy model. - Linus ] * PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal: mm: drop PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} definition mm, fs: remove remaining PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} usage mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

oom, oom_reaper: do not enqueue task if it is on the oom_reaper_list head

2016-04-01T22:03:37+00:00

Commit bb29902a7515 ("oom, oom_reaper: protect oom_reaper_list using simpler way") has simplified the check for tasks already enqueued for the oom reaper by checking tsk->oom_reaper_list != NULL. This check is not sufficient because the tsk might be the head of the queue without any other tasks queued and then we would simply lockup looping on the same task. Fix the condition by checking for the head as well.

mm/rmap: batched invalidations should use existing api

2016-04-01T22:03:37+00:00

The recently introduced batched invalidations mechanism uses its own mechanism for shootdown. However, it does wrong accounting of interrupts (e.g., inc_irq_stat is called for local invalidations), trace-points (e.g., TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN for local invalidations) and may break some platforms as it bypasses the invalidation mechanisms of Xen and SGI UV. This patch reuses the existing TLB flushing mechnaisms instead. We use NULL as mm to indicate a global invalidation is required.
