md-cluster: fix deadlock issue when add disk to an recoverying array
Add a disk to an array which is performing recovery
is a little complicated, we need to do both reap the
sync thread and perform add disk for the case, then
it caused deadlock as follows.
md_check_recovery is triggered by wakeup mddev->thread,
but it can't clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag since it can't
get lock which was held by md_attr_store already.
To solve the deadlock problem, we move "->resync_finish()"
from md_do_sync to md_reap_sync_thread (after md_update_sb),
also MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is introduced since it is possible
that node can't get resync lock in md_do_sync.
Then we do not need to wait for MD_CHANGE_PENDING is cleared
or not since metadata should be updated after md_update_sb,
so just call resync_finish if MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is set.
We also unified the code after skip label, since set PENDING
for non-clustered case should be harmless.

do "fold checks into iterate_and_advance()" right
the only case when we should skip the iterate_and_advance() guts
is when nothing's left in the iterator, _not_ just when requested
amount is 0. Said guts will do nothing in the latter case anyway;
the problem we tried to deal with in the aforementioned commit is
that when there's nothing left *and* the amount requested is 0,
we might end up deferencing one iovec too many; the value we fetch
from there is discarded in that case, but theoretically it might
oops if the iovec array ends exactly at the end of page with the
next page not mapped.
Bailing out on zero size requested had an unexpected side effect -
zero-length segment in the beginning of iovec array ended up
throwing do_loop_readv_writev() into infinite spin; we do not
advance past the empty segment at all. Reproducer is trivial:
echo '#include <sys/uio.h>' >a.c
echo 'main() {char c; struct iovec v[] = {{&c,0},{&c,1}}; readv(0,v,2);}' >>a.c
cc a.c && ./a.out </proc/uptime
which should end up with the process not hanging. Probably ought to
go into LTP or xfstests...
Commit 98e9cb57 improved the xattr name checks in xattr_resolve_name but

"This set of changes introduces an atomic API to the PWM subsystem.
This is influenced by the DRM atomic API that was introduced a while

remains the same, though: drivers provide a single callback to
implement the atomic configuration of a PWM channel.
As a side-effect the PWM subsystem gains the ability for initial state
retrieval, so that the logical state mirrors that of the hardware.
Many use-cases don't care about this, but for others it is essential.
These new features require changes in all users, which these patches
take care of. The core is transitioned to use the atomic callback if
available and provides a fallback mechanism for other drivers.

sched/core: Fix remote wakeups
Commit:
b5179ac70de8 ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration")
... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a
performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost
wakeups and bisected it to this commit.
The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any
wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated.
Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between
queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new
task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to
sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and
modified cacheline.

xen: use same main loop for counting and remapping pages
Instead of having two functions for cycling through the E820 map in
order to count to be remapped pages and remap them later, just use one
function with a caller supplied sub-function called for each region to
be processed. This eliminates the possibility of a mismatch between
both loops which showed up in certain configurations.

Xen: don't warn about 2-byte wchar_t in efi
The XEN UEFI code has become available on the ARM architecture
recently, but now causes a link-time warning:
ld: warning: drivers/xen/efi.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail
This seems harmless, because the efi code only uses 2-byte
characters when interacting with EFI, so we don't pass on those
strings to elsewhere in the system, and we just need to
silence the warning.
It is not clear to me whether we actually need to build the file
with the -fshort-wchar flag, but if we do, then we should also
pass --no-wchar-size-warning to the linker, to avoid the warning.

xen/gntdev: reduce copy batch size to 16
IOCTL_GNTDEV_GRANT_COPY batches copy operations to reduce the number
of hypercalls. The stack is used to avoid a memory allocation in a
hot path. However, a batch size of 24 requires more than 1024 bytes of
stack which in some configurations causes a compiler warning.
xen/gntdev.c: In function ‘gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy’:
xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1248 bytes is
larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
This is a harmless warning as there is still plenty of stack spare,
but people keep trying to "fix" it. Reduce the batch size to 16 to
reduce stack usage to less than 1024 bytes. This should have minimal
impact on performance.
Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
On slow platforms with unreliable TSC, such as QEMU emulated machines,
it is possible for the kernel to request the next event in the past. In
that case, in the current implementation of xen_vcpuop_clockevent, we
simply return -ETIME. To be precise the Xen returns -ETIME and we pass
it on. However the result of this is a missed event, which simply causes
the kernel to hang.
Instead it is better to always ask the hypervisor for a timer event,
even if the timeout is in the past. That way there are no lost
interrupts and the kernel survives. To do that, remove the
VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.

mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls
This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.
Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.
As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).
This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.
I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here
I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in
this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other
places can be changed on top.
This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable. It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.
Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.
The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.
vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

The patch introduces a mechanism for detecting such cases:
1) After each crash kexec loading, it simply marks the reserved memory
regions readonly since we no longer access it after that. When someone
stamps the region, the first kernel will panic and trigger the kdump.
The weak arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() is introduced to do the actual

CONFIG_MMU=n does free_arg_pages() in free_bprm() and thus it doesn't
need remove_arg_zero()->free_arg_page() too; apart from get_arg_page()
it never checks if the page in bprm->page[] was allocated or not, so the
"extra" non-freed page is fine. OTOH, this free_arg_page() can add the
minor pessimization, the caller is going to do copy_strings_kernel()
right after remove_arg_zero() which will likely need to re-allocate the
same page again.
And as Hujunjie pointed out, the "offset == PAGE_SIZE" check is wrong
because we are going to increment bprm->p once again before return, so
CONFIG_MMU=n "leaks" the page anyway if '0' is the final byte in this
page.
NOTE: remove_arg_zero() assumes that argv[0] is null-terminated but this
is not necessarily true. copy_strings() does "len = strnlen_user(...)",
then copy_from_user(len) but another thread or debuger can overwrite the
trailing '0' in between. Afaics nothing really bad can happen because
we must always have the null-terminated bprm->filename copied by the 1st
copy_strings_kernel(), but perhaps we should change this code to check
"bprm->p < bprm->exec" anyway, and/or change copy_strings() to ensure
