mm/page-writeback.c: fix __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() return value
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() should return true if it actually
transitioned the page from a clean to dirty state although it seems nobody
uses its return value at present.

When wb_writeback() is called in WB_SYNC_ALL mode, work->nr_to_write is
usually set to LONG_MAX. The logic in wb_writeback() then calls
__writeback_inodes_sb() with nr_to_write == MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES and we
easily end up with non-positive nr_to_write after the function returns, if
the inode has more than MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES dirty pages at the moment.
When nr_to_write is <= 0 wb_writeback() decides we need another round of
writeback but this is wrong in some cases! For example when a single
large file is continuously dirtied, we would never finish syncing it
because each pass would be able to write MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES and inode
dirty timestamp never gets updated (as inode is never completely clean).
Thus __writeback_inodes_sb() would write the redirtied inode again and
again.
Fix the issue by setting nr_to_write to LONG_MAX in WB_SYNC_ALL mode. We
do not need nr_to_write in WB_SYNC_ALL mode anyway since
write_cache_pages() does livelock avoidance using page tagging in
WB_SYNC_ALL mode.
This makes wb_writeback() call __writeback_inodes_sb() only once on
WB_SYNC_ALL. The latter function won't livelock because it works on
- a finite set of files by doing queue_io() once at the beginning
- a finite set of pages by PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE page tagging
After this patch, program from http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/24/154 is no
longer able to stall sync forever.

writeback: stop background/kupdate works from livelocking other works
Background writeback is easily livelockable in a loop in wb_writeback() by
a process continuously re-dirtying pages (or continuously appending to a
file). This is in fact intended as the target of background writeback is
to write dirty pages it can find as long as we are over
dirty_background_threshold.
But the above behavior gets inconvenient at times because no other work
queued in the flusher thread's queue gets processed. In particular, since
e.g. sync(1) relies on flusher thread to do all the IO for it, sync(1)
can hang forever waiting for flusher thread to do the work.
Generally, when a flusher thread has some work queued, someone submitted
the work to achieve a goal more specific than what background writeback
does. Moreover by working on the specific work, we also reduce amount of
dirty pages which is exactly the target of background writeout. So it
makes sense to give specific work a priority over a generic page cleaning.
Thus we interrupt background writeback if there is some other work to do.
We return to the background writeback after completing all the queued
work.
This may delay the writeback of expired inodes for a while, however the
expired inodes will eventually be flushed to disk as long as the other
works won't livelock.

writeback: integrated background writeback work
Check whether background writeback is needed after finishing each work.
When bdi flusher thread finishes doing some work check whether any kind of
background writeback needs to be done (either because
dirty_background_ratio is exceeded or because we need to start flushing
old inodes). If so, just do background write back.
This way, bdi_start_background_writeback() just needs to wake up the
flusher thread. It will do background writeback as soon as there is no
other work.
This is a preparatory patch for the next patch which stops background
writeback as soon as there is other work to do.

mm: page allocator: adjust the per-cpu counter threshold when memory is low
Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory
is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To
avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu
basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a
threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and
real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a
case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially
causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better
reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low.
Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a
large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line
bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines
where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu
thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to
what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy
memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine
but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting
all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and
sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test
case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least.
To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is
introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called
from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to
sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really
balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive
function but limiting how often it is called.
When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark
functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time
spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(),
zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(),
zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state().

dm: raid456 basic support
This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be
the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1). It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456
drivers.
As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following:
Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in
this case is "raid".
Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (again, raid1 is
planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
<chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors.
[[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
[daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
[min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_write_behind <value>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
[stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs
Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.
Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 1 2048 \
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
# min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).
Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array. The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>
Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example:
0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.
SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry
activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to
retry after some delay.
Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of
SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.
The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or
load, e.g.:
dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \
pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha
The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.
Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a
'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.

dm: remove superfluous irq disablement in dm_request_fn
This patch changes spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock() in dm_request_fn().
This patch is just a clean-up and no functional change.
The spin_lock_irq() was leftover from the early request-based dm code,
where map_request() used to enable interrupts.
Since current map_request() never enables interrupts, we can change it
to spin_lock() to match the prior spin_unlock().
Auditing through the dm and block-layer code called from
map_request(), I confirmed all functions save/restore interrupt
status, so no function returning with interrupts enabled.
Also I haven't observed any problem on my test environment which
uses scsi and lpfc driver after heavy I/O testing with occasional
path down/up.
Added BUG_ON() to detect breakage in future.

dm crypt: add loop aes iv generator
This patch adds a compatible implementation of the block
chaining mode used by the Loop-AES block device encryption
system (http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/) designed
by Jari Ruusu.
It operates on full 512 byte sectors and uses CBC
with an IV derived from the sector number, the data and
optionally extra IV seed.
This means that after CBC decryption the first block of sector
must be tweaked according to decrypted data.
Loop-AES can use three encryption schemes:
version 1: is plain aes-cbc mode (already compatible)
version 2: uses 64 multikey scheme with own IV generator
version 3: the same as version 2 with additional IV seed
(it uses 65 keys, last key is used as IV seed)
The IV generator is here named lmk (Loop-AES multikey)
and for the cipher specification looks like: aes:64-cbc-lmk
Version 2 and 3 is recognised according to length
of provided multi-key string (which is just hexa encoded
"raw key" used in original Loop-AES ioctl).
Configuration of the device and decoding key string will
be done in userspace (cryptsetup).
(Loop-AES stores keys in gpg encrypted file, raw keys are
output of simple hashing of lines in this file).

tanks.
This patch changes the crypto workqueue to be per CPU. This means
that as long as the IO submitter (or the interrupt target CPUs
for reads) runs on different CPUs the encryption work will be also
parallel.
To avoid a bottleneck on the IO worker I also changed those to be

x86: support XZ-compressed kernel
This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.
mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for
kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to
keep the code simpler.
The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is
increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64.
Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number.
With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few
percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel.

decompressors: add boot-time XZ support
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.
The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).
The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.
