Patch series "Add support for DMA writable pages being writable by the
network stack", v3.

The first 19 patches in the set add support for the DMA attribute
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC on multiple platforms/architectures.  This is
needed so that we can flag the calls to dma_map/unmap_page so that we do
not invalidate cache lines that do not currently belong to the device.
Instead we have to take care of this in the driver via a call to
sync_single_range_for_cpu prior to freeing the Rx page.

Patch 20 adds support for dma_map_page_attrs and dma_unmap_page_attrs so
that we can unmap and map a page using the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
attribute.

Patch 21 adds support for freeing a page that has multiple references
being held by a single caller.  This way we can free page fragments that
were allocated by a given driver.

The last 2 patches use these updates in the igb driver, and lay the
groundwork to allow for us to reimplement the use of build_skb.

This patch (of 23):

This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to
avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it
later via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

Currently in x86_64, the symbol address of phys_base is exported to
vmcoreinfo.  Dave Anderson complained this is really useless for his
Crash implementation.  Because in user-space utility Crash and
Makedumpfile which exported vmcore information is mainly used for, value
of phys_base is needed to covert virtual address of exported kernel
symbol to physical address.  Especially init_level4_pgt, if we want to
access and go over the page table to look up a PA corresponding to VA,
firstly we need calculate

  page_dir = SYMBOL(init_level4_pgt) - __START_KERNEL_map + phys_base;

Now in Crash and Makedumpfile, we have to analyze the vmcore elf program
header to get value of phys_base.  As Dave said, it would be preferable
if it were readily availabl in vmcoreinfo rather than depending upon the
PT_LOAD semantics.

Hence in this patch change to export the value of phys_base instead of
its virtual address.

And people also complained that KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE exporting is x86_64
only, should be moved into arch dependent function
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo.  Do the moving in this patch.

This reverts commit 0549a3c0 ("kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory
sections virtual addresses").

Commit 0549a3c0 tells the userspace utility makedumpfile the
randomized base address of these memmory sections when mm kaslr is
enabled.  However the following patch "kexec: export the value of
phys_base instead of symbol address" makes makedumpfile not need these
addresses any more.

Besides we should use VMCOREINFO_NUMBER to export the value of the
variable so that we can use the existing number_table mechanism of
Makedumpfile to fetch it.  So revert it now.  If needed we can add it
later.

I was amused to find "unsafe core_pattern" warning having these lines in
/etc/sysctl.conf:

	fs.suid_dumpable=2
	kernel.core_pattern=/core/core-%e-%p-%E
	kernel.core_uses_pid=0

Turns out kernel is formally right.  Default core_pattern is just "core",
which doesn't qualify for secure path while setting suid.dumpable.

Hint admins about solution, clarify sysctl names, delete unnecessary '\'
characters (string literals are concatenated regardless) and reformat for
easier grepping.

When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many

became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below.

Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that
the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are
changes in the signal mask.

A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking
the sighand->siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask.
This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are
trying to call sigprocmask().

With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was
gone.

compaction has been disabled for GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO requests since
the direct compaction was introduced by commit 56de7263 ("mm:
compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails").  The
main reason is that the migration of page cache pages might recurse back
to fs/io layer and we could potentially deadlock.  This is overly
conservative because all the anonymous memory is migrateable in the
GFP_NOFS context just fine.  This might be a large portion of the memory
in many/most workkloads.

Remove the GFP_NOFS restriction and make sure that we skip all fs pages
(those with a mapping) while isolating pages to be migrated.  We cannot
consider clean fs pages because they might need a metadata update so
only isolate pages without any mapping for nofs requests.

The effect of this patch will be probably very limited in many/most
workloads because higher order GFP_NOFS requests are quite rare,
although different configurations might lead to very different results.
David Chinner has mentioned a heavy metadata workload with 64kB block
which to quote him:

: Unfortunately, there was an era of cargo cult configuration tweaks in the
: Ceph community that has resulted in a large number of production machines
: with XFS filesystems configured this way.  And a lot of them store large
: numbers of small files and run under significant sustained memory
: pressure.
:
: I slowly working towards getting rid of these high order allocations and
: replacing them with the equivalent number of single page allocations, but
: I haven't got that (complex) change working yet.

We can do the following to simulate that workload:
$ mkfs.xfs -f -n size=64k <dev>
$ mount <dev> /mnt/scratch
$ time ./fs_mark  -D  10000  -S0  -n  100000  -s  0  -L  32 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/0  -d  /mnt/scratch/1 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/2  -d  /mnt/scratch/3 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/4  -d  /mnt/scratch/5 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/6  -d  /mnt/scratch/7 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/8  -d  /mnt/scratch/9 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/10  -d  /mnt/scratch/11 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/12  -d  /mnt/scratch/13 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/14  -d  /mnt/scratch/15

and indeed is hammers the system with many high order GFP_NOFS requests as
per a simle tracepoint during the load:

This suggests that the patch has helped even though there is not all that
much of anonymous memory as the workload mostly generates fs metadata.  I
assume the success rate would be higher with more anonymous memory which
should be the case in many workloads.

NMI handler doesn't call set_irq_regs(), it's set only by normal IRQ.
Thus get_irq_regs() returns NULL or stale registers snapshot with IP/SP
pointing to the code interrupted by IRQ which was interrupted by NMI.
NULL isn't a problem: in this case watchdog calls dump_stack() and
prints full stack trace including NMI.  But if we're stuck in IRQ
handler then NMI watchlog will print stack trace without IRQ part at
all.

This patch uses registers snapshot passed into NMI handler as arguments:
these registers point exactly to the instruction interrupted by NMI.

Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:

 - a raid5 writeback cache feature.

   The goal is to aggregate writes to make full stripe write and reduce
   read-modify-write. It's helpful for workload which does sequential
   write and follows fsync for example. This feature is experimental and
   off by default right now.

 - FAILFAST support.

   This fails IOs to broken raid disks quickly, so can improve latency.
   It's mainly for DASD storage, but some patches help normal raid array
   too.

 - support bad block for raid array with external metadata

 - AVX2 instruction support for raid6 parity calculation

 - normalize MD info output

 - add missing blktrace

 - other bug fixes

This reverts commit 6d31e3ba.

This causes bootup problems for me both on my laptop and my desktop.
What they have in common is that they have NVMe disks with dm-crypt, but
it's not the same controller, so it's not controller-specific.

Jens does not see it on his machine (also NVMe), so it's presumably
something that triggers just on bootup.  Possibly related to dm-crypt
and the fact that I mark my luks volume with "allow-discards" in
/etc/crypttab.

It's 100% repeatable for me, which made it fairly straightforward to
bisect the problem to this commit. Small mercies.

So we don't know what the reason is yet, but the revert is needed to get
things going again.

Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:
 "Xen features and fixes for 4.10

  These are some fixes, a move of some arm related headers to share them
  between arm and arm64 and a series introducing a helper to make code
  more readable.

  The most notable change is David stepping down as maintainer of the
  Xen hypervisor interface. This results in me sending you the pull
  requests for Xen related code from now on"
