David Howells 0109d7e614 SLOW_WORK: Fix CIFS to pass THIS_MODULE to slow_work_register_user()
As of the patch:

	SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a module to clear

	Wait for outstanding slow work items belonging to a module to clear
	when unregistering that module as a user of the facility.  This
	prevents the put_ref code of a work item from being taken away before
	it returns.

slow_work_register_user() takes a module pointer as an argument.  CIFS must now
pass THIS_MODULE as that argument, lest the following error be observed:

	fs/cifs/cifsfs.c: In function 'init_cifs':
	fs/cifs/cifsfs.c:1040: error: too few arguments to function 'slow_work_register_user'

Daniel Mack 68a31de302 [ARM] pxa/cpufreq: fix index assignments for end marker
I stumbled over two small things regarding the .index field assignment
in the dynamically created cpu frequency tables for pxa2xx and pxa3xx.

Even though that doesn't currently cause any problem, it should still be
fixed in case the logic in the CPUFREQ core changes.

Dan Williams 49954c1567 ioat3: fix pq completion versus channel deallocation race
The completion of a pq operation is notified with a null descriptor
appended to the end of the chain.  This descriptor needs to be visible
to dma clients otherwise the client is precluded from ensuring all
operations are quiesced before freeing channel resources, i.e. due to
descriptor polling it may get the completion notification ahead of the
interrupt delivered by the null descriptor.

Dan Williams 7b3cc2b1fc async_tx: build-time toggling of async_{syndrome,xor}_val dma support
ioat3.2 does not support asynchronous error notifications which makes
the driver experience latencies when non-zero pq validate results are
expected.  Provide a mechanism for turning off async_xor_val and
async_syndrome_val via Kconfig.  This approach is generally useful for
any driver that specifies ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH and would like
to force the async_tx api to fall back to the synchronous path for
certain operations.

David Woodhouse 5854d9c8d1 Fix handling of the HP/Acer 'DMAR at zero' BIOS error for machines with <4GiB RAM.
Commit 86cf898e1d ("intel-iommu: Check for
'DMAR at zero' BIOS error earlier.") was supposed to work by pretending
not to detect an IOMMU if it was actually being reported by the BIOS at
physical address zero.

However, the intel_iommu_init() function is called unconditionally, as
are the corresponding functions for other IOMMU hardware.

So the patch only worked if you have RAM above the 4GiB boundary. It
caused swiotlb to be initialised when no IOMMU was detected during early
boot, and thus the later IOMMU init would refuse to run.

But if you have less RAM than that, swiotlb wouldn't get set up and the
IOMMU _would_ still end up being initialised, even though we never
claimed to detect it.

This patch also sets the dmar_disabled flag when the error is detected
during the initial detection phase -- so that the later call to
intel_iommu_init() will return without doing anything, regardless of
whether swiotlb is used or not.

David Howells fee096deb4 CacheFiles: Catch an overly long wait for an old active object
Catch an overly long wait for an old, dying active object when we want to
replace it with a new one.  The probability is that all the slow-work threads
are hogged, and the delete can't get a look in.

What we do instead is:

 (1) if there's nothing in the slow work queue, we sleep until either the dying
     object has finished dying or there is something in the slow work queue
     behind which we can queue our object.

 (2) if there is something in the slow work queue, we return ETIMEDOUT to
     fscache_lookup_object(), which then puts us back on the slow work queue,
     presumably behind the deletion that we're blocked by.  We are then
     deferred for a while until we work our way back through the queue -
     without blocking a slow-work thread unnecessarily.

A backtrace similar to the following may appear in the log without this patch:

David Howells a17754fb8c CacheFiles: Don't write a full page if there's only a partial page to cache
cachefiles_write_page() writes a full page to the backing file for the last
page of the netfs file, even if the netfs file's last page is only a partial
page.

This causes the EOF on the backing file to be extended beyond the EOF of the
netfs, and thus the backing file will be truncated by cachefiles_attr_changed()
called from cachefiles_lookup_object().

So we need to limit the write we make to the backing file on that last page
such that it doesn't push the EOF too far.

Also, if a backing file that has a partial page at the end is expanded, we
discard the partial page and refetch it on the basis that we then have a hole
in the file with invalid data, and should the power go out...  A better way to
deal with this could be to record a note that the partial page contains invalid
data until the correct data is written into it.

This isn't a problem for netfs's that discard the whole backing file if the
file size changes (such as NFS).

David Howells 868411be3f FS-Cache: Actually requeue an object when requested
FS-Cache objects have an FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_REQUEUE event that can theoretically
be raised to ask the state machine to requeue the object for further processing
before the work function returns to the slow-work facility.

However, fscache_object_work_execute() was clearing that bit before checking
the event mask to see whether the object has any pending events that require it
to be requeued immediately.

Instead, the bit should be cleared after the check and enqueue.

David Howells 201a15428b FS-Cache: Handle pages pending storage that get evicted under OOM conditions
Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache
under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache.  Under these

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:

 (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
     (fscache_write_op()).

 (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
     (cachefiles_write_page()).

 (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
     standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
     page.

 (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
     particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
     can copy the data from the netfs page.

 (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
     a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
     (try_to_free_pages()).

 (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
     one it's trying to write out).

 (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
     called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
     complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).

 (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.

The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.

To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed.  This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time.  To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.

The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan".  There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.

What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages.  If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

The object state might also be OBJECT_DYING or OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.

This should be handled by simply rejecting the new operation with ENOBUFS.
There's no need to log an error for it.  Events of this type now appear in the

David Howells 1bccf513ac FS-Cache: Fix lock misorder in fscache_write_op()
FS-Cache has two structs internally for keeping track of the internal state of
a cached file: the fscache_cookie struct, which represents the netfs's state,
and fscache_object struct, which represents the cache's state.  Each has a
pointer that points to the other (when both are in existence), and each has a
spinlock for pointer maintenance.

Since netfs operations approach these structures from the cookie side, they get
the cookie lock first, then the object lock.  Cache operations, on the other
hand, approach from the object side, and get the object lock first.  It is not
then permitted for a cache operation to get the cookie lock whilst it is
holding the object lock lest deadlock occur; instead, it must do one of two
things:

 (1) increment the cookie usage counter, drop the object lock and then get both
     locks in order, or

 (2) simply hold the object lock as certain parts of the cookie may not be
     altered whilst the object lock is held.

It is also not permitted to follow either pointer without holding the lock at
the end you start with.  To break the pointers between the cookie and the
object, both locks must be held.

fscache_write_op(), however, violates the locking rules: It attempts to get the
cookie lock without (a) checking that the cookie pointer is a valid pointer,
and (b) holding the object lock to protect the cookie pointer whilst it follows
it.  This is so that it can access the pending page store tree without
interference from __fscache_write_page().

This is fixed by splitting the cookie lock, such that the page store tracking
tree is protected by its own lock, and checking that the cookie pointer is
non-NULL before we attempt to follow it whilst holding the object lock.

The new lock is subordinate to both the cookie lock and the object lock, and so
should be taken after those.

David Howells 6897e3df8f FS-Cache: The object-available state can't rely on the cookie to be available
The object-available state in the object processing state machine (as
processed by fscache_object_available()) can't rely on the cookie to be
available because the FSCACHE_COOKIE_CREATING bit may have been cleared by
fscache_obtained_object() prior to the object being put into the
FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE state.

Clearing the FSCACHE_COOKIE_CREATING bit on a cookie permits
__fscache_relinquish_cookie() to proceed and detach the cookie from the
object.

To deal with this, we don't dereference object->cookie in
fscache_object_available() if the object has already been detached.

In addition, a couple of assertions are added into fscache_drop_object() to
make sure the object is unbound from the cookie before it gets there.

David Howells 5753c44188 FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase
Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in
the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for
permission for the operation to proceed.  Typically this wait occurs whilst the
cache object is being looked up on disk in the background.

If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the
go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns
to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages
having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache.

This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than
uninterruptibly.

In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops
cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted.

David Howells b34df792b4 FS-Cache: Use radix tree preload correctly in tracking of pages to be stored
__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for
the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be
done inside a pair of spinlocks.

Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being
initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified.  __fscache_acquire_cookie() was
passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT.

The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT.

Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make
note of this prerequisite.  Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too.

Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by
radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked
region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory -
which required the spinlock already held.

David Howells 7e311a207d FS-Cache: Clear netfs pointers in cookie after detaching object, not before
Clear the pointers from the fscache_cookie struct to netfs private data after
clearing the pointer to the cookie from the fscache_object struct and
releasing the object lock, rather than before.

This allows the netfs private data pointers to be relied on simply by holding
the object lock, rather than having to hold the cookie lock.  This is makes
things simpler as the cookie lock has to be taken before the object lock, but
sometimes the object pointer is all that the code has.

David Howells 4fbf4291aa FS-Cache: Allow the current state of all objects to be dumped
Allow the current state of all fscache objects to be dumped by doing:

	cat /proc/fs/fscache/objects

By default, all objects and all fields will be shown.  This can be restricted
by adding a suitable key to one of the caller's keyrings (such as the session
keyring):

	keyctl add user fscache:objlist "<restrictions>" @s

The <restrictions> are:

	K	Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given)
	A	Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given)

And paired restrictions:

	C	Show objects that have a cookie
	c	Show objects that don't have a cookie
	B	Show objects that are busy
	b	Show objects that aren't busy
	W	Show objects that have pending writes
	w	Show objects that don't have pending writes
	R	Show objects that have outstanding reads
	r	Show objects that don't have outstanding reads
	S	Show objects that have slow work queued
	s	Show objects that don't have slow work queued

If neither side of a restriction pair is given, then both are implied.  For
example:

	keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s

shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump
their auxiliary data.  It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is
not implied.

David Howells 3bde31a4ac SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is needed
Add a function to allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread
processing it is needed by the slow-work facility to perform other work.

Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the
completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another
slow-work thread.

In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put
itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility,
thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress.
This would allow other work items processing time on that thread.

However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue
behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end
up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time.

So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put
itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually
interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule().

This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another
work item appears on the queue.  If another work item is queued, but the
item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and
yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning.

This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one
thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is
nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind.  As soon as an
item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles
can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work
facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.
