      gpio: mmio: Make pin2mask() a private business · 24efd94b
      由 Linus Walleij 提交于 
      The vtable call pin2mask() was introducing a vtable function call
in every gpiochip callback for a generic MMIO GPIO chip. This was
not exactly efficient. (Maybe link-time optimization could get rid of
it, I don't know.)

After removing all external calls into this API we can make it a
boolean flag in the struct gpio_chip call and sink the function into
the gpio-mmio driver yielding encapsulation and potential speedups.

      gpio: Fix loose spelling · 2cbfca66
      由 Andrew Jeffery 提交于 
      Literally.

I expect "lose" was meant here, rather than "loose", though you could feasibly
use a somewhat uncommon definition of "loose" to mean what would be meant by
"lose": "Loose the hounds" for instance, as in "Release the hounds".
Substituting in "value" for "hounds" gives "release the value", and makes some
sense, but futher substituting back to loose gives "loose the value" which
overall just seems a bit anachronistic.

Instead, use modern, pragmatic English and save a character.

      gpio: Introduce ->get_multiple callback · eec1d566
      由 Lukas Wunner 提交于 
      SPI-attached GPIO controllers typically read out all inputs in one go.
If callers desire the values of multipe inputs, ideally a single readout
should take place to return the desired values.  However the current
driver API only offers a ->get callback but no ->get_multiple (unlike
->set_multiple, which is present).  Thus, to read multiple inputs, a
full readout needs to be performed for every single value (barring
driver-internal caching), which is inefficient.

In fact, the lack of a ->get_multiple callback has been bemoaned
repeatedly by the gpio subsystem maintainer:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg10571.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg121734.html

Introduce the missing callback.  Add corresponding consumer functions
such as gpiod_get_array_value().  Amend linehandle_ioctl() to take
advantage of the newly added infrastructure.  Update the documentation.

      bitops: Introduce assign_bit() · 5307e2ad
      由 Lukas Wunner 提交于 
      A common idiom is to assign a value to a bit with:

    if (value)
        set_bit(nr, addr);
    else
        clear_bit(nr, addr);

Likewise common is the one-line expression variant:

    value ? set_bit(nr, addr) : clear_bit(nr, addr);

Commit 9a8ac3ae ("dm mpath: cleanup QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit
manipulation by introducing assign_bit()") introduced assign_bit()
to the md subsystem for brevity.

Make it available to others, specifically gpiolib and the upcoming
driver for Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer chips.

As requested by Peter Zijlstra, change the argument order to reflect
traditional "dst = src" in C, hence "assign_bit(nr, addr, value)".

      sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bit · 11a19c7b
      由 Tim Chen 提交于 
      Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.

We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long.  This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

      sched/wait: Break up long wake list walk · 2554db91
      由 Tim Chen 提交于 
      We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
execute all the wake functions.

We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
hot pages that are shared by many threads.

Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.

The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.

This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
rescheduling latency.

This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

      mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag · 0ee931c4
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

      dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction · c3ca015f
      由 Mikulas Patocka 提交于 
      Commit abebfbe2 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.

It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().

It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.

Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.
