This is only an API consolidation and should make things more readable.
Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all
corner cases correctly. This is a minor API cleanup only.

net: Fixes to remote checksum offload and CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
This patch set fixes a correctness problem with remote checksum
offload, clarifies the meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, and allows
remote checksum offload to set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL instead of
calling csum_partial and modifying the checksum.
Specifically:
- In the GRO remote checksum path, restore the checksum after
calling lower layer GRO functions. This is needed if the
packet is forwarded off host with the Remote Checksum Offload
option still present.
- Clarify meaning of CHECKSUM PARTIAL in the receive path. Only
the checksums referred to by checksum partial and any preceding
checksums can be considered verified.
- Fixes to UDP tunnel GRO complete. Need to set SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_*,
SKB_GSO_TUNNEL_REMCSUM, and skb->encapsulation for forwarding
case.
- Infrastructure to allow setting of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL in remote
checksum offload. This a potential performance benefit instead
of calling csum_partial (potentially twice, once in GRO path
and once in normal path). The downside of using CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
and not actually writing the checksum is that we aren't verifying
that the sender correctly wrote the pseudo checksum into the
checksum field, or that the start/offset values actually point
to a checksum. If the sender did not set up these fields correctly,
a packet might be accepted locally, but not accepted by a peer
when the packet is forwarded off host. Verifying these fields
seems non-trivial, and because the fields can only be incorrect
due to sender error and not corruption (outer checksum protects
against that) we'll make use of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL the default. This
behavior can be reverted as an netlink option on the encapsulation
socket.
- Change VXLAN and GUE to set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL in remote checksum
offload by default, configuration hooks can revert to using
csum_partial.
Testing:
I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR with 200
streams for GRE/GUE and for VXLAN. This compares before the fixes,
the fixes with not setting checksum partial in remote checksum offload,
and with the fixes setting checksum partial. The overall effect seems
be that using checksum partial is a slight performance win, perf
definitely shows a significant reduction of time in csum_partial on
the receive CPUs.

net: Clarify meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for receive path
The current meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for validating checksums
is that _all_ checksums in the packet are considered valid.
However, in the manner that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set only the checksum
at csum_start+csum_offset and any preceding checksums may
be considered valid. If there are checksums in the packet after
csum_offset it is possible they have not been verfied.
This patch changes CHECKSUM_PARTIAL logic in skb_csum_unnecessary and

net: Fix remcsum in GRO path to not change packet
Remote checksum offload processing is currently the same for both
the GRO and non-GRO path. When the remote checksum offload option
is encountered, the checksum field referred to is modified in
the packet. So in the GRO case, the packet is modified in the
GRO path and then the operation is skipped when the packet goes
through the normal path based on skb->remcsum_offload. There is
a problem in that the packet may be modified in the GRO path, but
then forwarded off host still containing the remote checksum option.
A remote host will again perform RCO but now the checksum verification
will fail since GRO RCO already modified the checksum.
To fix this, we ensure that GRO restores a packet to it's original
state before returning. In this model, when GRO processes a remote
checksum option it still changes the checksum per the algorithm
but on return from lower layer processing the checksum is restored
to its original value.
In this patch we add define gro_remcsum structure which is passed
to skb_gro_remcsum_process to save offset and delta for the checksum
being changed. After lower layer processing, skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup
is called to restore the checksum before returning from GRO.

rds: rds_cong_queue_updates needs to defer the congestion update transmission
When the RDS transport is TCP, we cannot inline the call to rds_send_xmit
from rds_cong_queue_update because
(a) we are already holding the sock_lock in the recv path, and
will deadlock when tcp_setsockopt/tcp_sendmsg try to get the sock
lock
(b) cong_queue_update does an irqsave on the rds_cong_lock, and this
will trigger warnings (for a good reason) from functions called
out of sock_lock.
This patch reverts the change introduced by 2fa57129d ("RDS: Bypass workqueue when queueing cong updates").
The patch has been verified for both RDS/TCP as well as RDS/RDMA
to ensure that there are not regressions for either transport:
- for verification of RDS/TCP a client-server unit-test was used,
with the server blocked in gdb and thus unable to drain its rcvbuf,
eventually triggering a RDS congestion update.
- for RDS/RDMA, the standard IB regression tests were used

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
"Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
this pile.
Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got
later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
implementation merged.
Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].
The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
nature of the change that is being introduced.
In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
redirection machinery to the patched functions.
On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
"patched" one at safe checkpoints.
If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
evolved around [3].
It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live
Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.
And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
request.
It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).
It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
regs-saving).
Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is
that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
sketched out already in the thread at [3]).
Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].
[ The core code is introduced by the three commits authored by Seth
Jennings, which got a lot of changes incorporated during numerous
respins and reviews of the initial implementation. All the followup
commits have materialized only after public tree has been created,
so they were not folded into initial three commits so that the
public tree doesn't get rebased ]"

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.
- fs/notify updates
- ocfs2
- some of MM"
That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.
From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.
The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

"We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.
Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
features on top of it. The primary example is the rework of ACPI
resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
core code too.
The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.
Specifics:
- Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it
and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation
of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown
analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the
core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng).
- ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling
rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu).
- ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt
handling rework that allows drivers to install raw handlers for
ACPI GPEs which then become entirely responsible for the given GPE
and the ACPICA core code won't touch it (Lv Zheng, David E Box,
Octavian Purdila).
- ACPI EC driver rework to fix several concurrency issues and other
problems related to events handling on top of the ACPICA's new
support for raw GPE handlers (Lv Zheng).
- New ACPI driver for AMD SoCs analogous to the LPSS (Low-Power
Subsystem) driver for Intel chips (Ken Xue).
- Two minor fixes of the ACPI LPSS driver (Heikki Krogerus, Jarkko
Nikula).
- Two new blacklist entries for machines (Samsung 730U3E/740U3E and
510R) where the native backlight interface doesn't work correctly
while the ACPI one does (Hans de Goede).
- Rework of the ACPI processor driver's handling of idle states to
make the code more straightforward and less bloated overall (Rafael
J Wysocki).
- Assorted minor fixes related to ACPI and SFI (Andreas Ruprecht,
Andy Shevchenko, Hanjun Guo, Jan Beulich, Rafael J Wysocki, Yaowei
Bai).
- PCI core power management modification to avoid resuming (some)
runtime-suspended devices during system suspend if they are in the
right states already (Rafael J Wysocki).
- New SFI-based cpufreq driver for Intel platforms using SFI
(Srinidhi Kasagar).
- New dabugfs interface to make the list of PM QoS constraints
available to user space (Nishanth Menon).
- New devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor (Tomeu Vizoso).

memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex
mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to
the given cgroup. Currently, it is only used on css free in order to
destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed. The
list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex. The mutex is also used to protect
kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes
kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches.
However, we can perfectly get on without these two. To destroy all caches
corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem
caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the
slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex. This patch therefore gets rid
of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex.
Apart from this nice cleanup, it also:
- assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is
destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set;
- fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that
exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from
kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0,
releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to
make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the

a very tiny chance, such as:

check page and it buddy
PageBuddy(buddy) is true hold zone_2 lock

rare race. This patch fixes this by placing the zone_id check before the

Whether there is a vm_ops->page_mkwrite or not, the page dirtying is
pretty much the same. Make sure the page references are the same in both
cases, then merge the two branches.
It's tempting to go even further and page-lock the !page_mkwrite case, to
get it in line with everybody else setting the page table and thus further
simplify the model. But that's not quite compelling enough to justify
dropping the pte lock, then relocking and verifying the entry for
filesystems without ->page_mkwrite, which notably includes tmpfs. Leave
it for now and lock the page late in the !page_mkwrite case.

mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from unmap/zap codepath
We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.
Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.
Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.
For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.
In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulation
remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of
huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database
workloads.
Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no
legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available.
Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code.
The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on
each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent
one.
I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test
emulation impact on. I've checked Debian code search and source of all
packages in ALT Linux. No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in
strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff.
There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall. They work just fine
with emulation.
To test performance impact, I've written small test case which
demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to
begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order,
read every page.
The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to
set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM.

compound_head() is implemented with assumption that there would be race
condition when checking tail flag. This assumption is only true when we

The situation that virt_to_head_page() is called is different case. We
call virt_to_head_page() only in the range of allocated pages, so there
is no race condition on tail flag. In this case, we don't need to
handle race condition and we can reduce overhead slightly. This patch
implements compound_head_fast() which is similar with compound_head()
except tail flag race handling. And then, virt_to_head_page() uses this
optimized function to improve performance.

mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off
We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in
order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same
cpu. It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can
move the process to other cpu during retrieving data.
Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the
fastpath. If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and
kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means
that they are retrieved on the same cpu. If not matched, we just have
to retry it.
With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it.
I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT,
roughly 0.3%. Implementing each case separately would help performance,
but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that. This would help
maintanance since we have same code for all cases.
