After write SSD completed, bcache schedules journal_write work to
system_wq, which is a public workqueue in system, without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
flag. system_wq is also a bound wq, and there may be no idle kworker on
current processor. Creating a new kworker may unfortunately need to
reclaim memory first, by shrinking cache and slab used by vfs, which
depends on bcache device. That's a deadlock.

This patch create a new workqueue for journal_write with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
flag. It's rescuer thread will work to avoid the deadlock.

Commit a46b5367 ("xen/blkfront: cleanup stale persistent grants")
added support for purging persistent grants when they are not in use. As
part of the purge, the grants were removed from the grant buffer, This
eventually causes the buffer to become empty, with BUG_ON triggered in
get_free_grant(). This can be observed even on an idle system, within
20-30 minutes.

We should keep the grants in the buffer when purging, and only free the
grant ref.

Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
so at least some I/Os were accounted for.

Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

  nvme: count all ANA groups for ANA Log page

The final field of a floppy_struct is the field "name", which is a pointer
to a string in kernel memory.  The kernel pointer should not be copied to
user memory.  The FDGETPRM ioctl copies a floppy_struct to user memory,
including this "name" field.  This pointer cannot be used by the user
and it will leak a kernel address to user-space, which will reveal the
location of kernel code and data and undermine KASLR protection.

Model this code after the compat ioctl which copies the returned data
to a previously cleared temporary structure on the stack (excluding the
name pointer) and copy out to userspace from there.  As we already have
an inparam union with an appropriate member and that memory is already
cleared even for read only calls make use of that as a temporary store.

Currently we always repost the recv buffer before we send a response
capsule back to the host. Since ordering is not guaranteed for send
and recv completions, it is posible that we will receive a new request
from the host before we got a send completion for the response capsule.

Today, we pre-allocate 2x rsps the length of the queue, but in reality,
under heavy load there is nothing that is really preventing the gap to
expand until we exhaust all our rsps.

To fix this, if we don't have any pre-allocated rsps left, we dynamically
allocate a rsp and make sure to free it when we are done. If under memory
pressure we fail to allocate a rsp, we silently drop the command and
wait for the host to retry.

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
  1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
     release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
     the cgwbs (writeback).
  2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
     become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
     frees the blkcg.

Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.

The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
  1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
     writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
     avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
     to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
     cgwb_refcnt is put back.
  2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
     and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
     held by each blkg is released.
  3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
     This finally frees the blkg.

It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

This reverts commit 4c699480.

Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.

The above commit (4c699480) breaks this order of events by trying to
destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
blkcg, css_free() is never called.

The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.

When a targetport is removed from the config, fcloop will avoid calling

Create_Association LS for the reconnect.

Change the filter in the LS callback path. If tport null (set when
failed validation before "sending to remote port"), be sure to call
done. This was the main bug. But, continue the logic that only calls
done if tport was set but there is no remoteport (e.g. case where
remoteport has been removed, thus host doesn't expect a completion).

In many architectures loads may be reordered with older stores to
different locations.  In the nvme driver the following two operations
could be reordered:

 - Write shadow doorbell (dbbuf_db) into memory.
 - Read EventIdx (dbbuf_ei) from memory.

This can result in a potential race condition between driver and VM host
processing requests (if given virtual NVMe controller has a support for
shadow doorbell).  If that occurs, then the NVMe controller may decide to
wait for MMIO doorbell from guest operating system, and guest driver may
decide not to issue MMIO doorbell on any of subsequent commands.

This issue is purely timing-dependent one, so there is no easy way to
reproduce it. Currently the easiest known approach is to run "Oracle IO
Numbers" (orion) that is shipped with Oracle DB:

orion -run advanced -num_large 0 -size_small 8 -type rand -simulate \
	concat -write 40 -duration 120 -matrix row -testname nvme_test

Where nvme_test is a .lun file that contains a list of NVMe block
devices to run test against. Limiting number of vCPUs assigned to given
VM instance seems to increase chances for this bug to occur. On test
environment with VM that got 4 NVMe drives and 1 vCPU assigned the
virtual NVMe controller hang could be observed within 10-20 minutes.
That correspond to about 400-500k IO operations processed (or about
100GB of IO read/writes).

Orion tool was used as a validation and set to run in a loop for 36
hours (equivalent of pushing 550M IO operations). No issues were
observed. That suggest that the patch fixes the issue.

We have two potential issues:

1) After commit 2887e41b, we only wake one process at the time when
   we finish an IO. We really want to wake up as many tasks as can
   queue IO. Before this commit, we woke up everyone, which could cause
   a thundering herd issue.

2) A task can potentially consume two wakeups, causing us to (in
   practice) miss a wakeup.

Fix both by providing our own wakeup function, which stops
__wake_up_common() from waking up more tasks if we fail to get a
queueing token. With the strict ordering we have on the wait list, this
wakes the right tasks and the right amount of tasks.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during

It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.

This patch was inspired by

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447

which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.

That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.
