Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup.  It's slightly risky.  If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive.  That's bad.

This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token().  and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive.  Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.

As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.

Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.

Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.

Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code.  Until then this keeps it working correctly.

This tries to make the 'struct inode' accesses denser in the data cache
by moving a commonly accessed field (i_security) closer to other fields
that are accessed often.

It also makes 'i_state' just an 'unsigned int' rather than 'unsigned
long', since we only use a few bits of that field, and moves it next to
the existing 'i_flags' so that we potentially get better structure
layout (although depending on config options, i_flags may already have
packed in the same word as i_lock, so this improves packing only for the
case of spinlock debugging)

Out 'struct inode' is still way too big, and we should probably move
some other fields around too (the acl fields in particular) for better
data cache access density.  Other fields (like the inode hash) are
likely to be entirely irrelevant under most loads.

Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly.  The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked).  The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.

Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table.  Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.

This patch (as1470) works around the problem.  It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop).  The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to

Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged.
On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client,
silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing
the S_NOSEC flag.

AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is
	* new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set.
	* local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately,
mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than
local block ones clear it)
	* if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC,
it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when
inode attribute changes are picked from other clients.

It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client
will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway),
but it's a bug that needs fixing.

This reverts commit b1c43f82.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards

IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets

There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
  - size >= 2MiB, and
  - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - on hardware that supports superpages.

(and likewise for larger superpages).

We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.

Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.

Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from
the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.

Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.

Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers
ask for a callback after a specific capacity has

until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest

Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.

I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received.  This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list.  The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle.  For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:

-     37.82%          swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]          [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
   - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
      - 95.65% pm_qos_request
           menu_select
           cpuidle_idle_call
         - cpu_idle
              99.98% start_secondary

A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.
