Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in
page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits
1<<page-cluster pages at a time.

On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured
this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more
I/Os than required.

On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server
runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin
throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization.

With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory
is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly
and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput.

In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks
shows the improved merging:

I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much
lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the
majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling).  In a
shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this
now causes less protocol overhead.

If someone calls vb_alloc() (or vm_map_ram() for that matter) to allocate
0 bytes (0 pages), get_order() returns BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
and interesting stuff happens.  So make debugging such problems easier and

There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole.  Could be
simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list.  More simpler and
efficient.

Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within
__insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of
vmap_area_lock.  The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list
walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk.

Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and
rounds for hours.

We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new
drm prime infrastructure.  We isolated the cause to code in
__sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags.

There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption
about the allocation coming from a memory pool.  This was likely true
when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
framework.

This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected.  We could
keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
but it seems overkill for this module.

This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu

If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
	# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
	# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
the following notifier chain callbacks.

 * CPU notifier
 * PM notifier
 * memory hotplug notifier
 * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier

Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
  # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
module is available.

This patch:

The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
errors to specified notifier chain callbacks.  It is useful to test the
error handling of notifier call chain failures.

This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
should be returned and which event should be failed.

When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will
overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.

This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff).  In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e.  0-ffffffff).  Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the
new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case
equals the originally requested range.

This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not
intersect with the root range.  When the request partially overlaps with
the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then
continues with the new request.

When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

Convert init_sync_kiocb() from a nasty macro into a nice C function.  The
struct assignment trick takes care of zeroing all unmentioned fields.
Shrinks fs/read_write.o's .text from 9857 bytes to 9714.

Also demacroize is_sync_kiocb() and aio_ring_avail().  The latter fixes an
arg-referenced-multiple-times hand grenade.

register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal
allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table.  This header is a
handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the
table.  But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header
acts the same as a static variable.

Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be
freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory.  For those
sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing
them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks:

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead.  This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms
using the old compat IPC interface.

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred.  POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined.  On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.

For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.

This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

Commit 48b25c43 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC
syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for
architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC
syscall interface.

For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal
calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target
where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly,
compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling
the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC
commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace.

This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions
for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to
select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version
parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for
a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both.

This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat
syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64
(where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is
16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

The last line of vmcoreinfo note does not end with \n.  Parsing all the
lines in note becomes easier if all lines end with \n instead of trying to
special case the last line.

I know at least one tool, vmcore-dmesg in kexec-tools tree which made the
assumption that all lines end with \n.  I think it is a good idea to fix

The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.

0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()

Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return.  But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns.  Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).

The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().

The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.

For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate.  If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.

This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.

Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default.  So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile
