      Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
      
       - The driver for Silead touchscreen configurations has been renamed
         from silead_dmi to touchscreen_dmi since it starts supporting other
         touchscreens which require some DMI quirks
      
         It also gets expanded to cover cases for Chuwi Vi10, ONDA V891W,
         Connect Tablet 9, Onda V820w, and Cube KNote i1101 tablets.
      
       - Another bunch of changes is related to Mellanox platform code to
         allow user space to communicate with Mellanox for system control and
         monitoring purposes. The driver notifies user on hotplug device
         signal receiving.
      
       - ASUS WMI drivers recognize lid flip action on UX360, and correctly
         toggles airplane mode LED. In addition the keyboard backlight toggle
         gets support.
      
       - ThinkPad ACPI driver enables support for calculator key (on at least
         P52). It also has been fixed to support three characters model
         designators, which are used for modern laptops. Earlier the battery,
         marked as BAT1, on ThinkPad laptops has not been configured properly,
         which is fixed. On the opposite the multi-battery configurations now
         probed correctly.
      
       - Dell SMBIOS driver starts working on some Dell servers which do not
         support token interface. The regression with backlight detection has
         also been fixed. In order to support dock mode on some laptops, Intel
         virtual button driver has been fixed. The last but not least is the
         fix to Intel HID driver due to changes in Dell systems that prevented
         to use power button.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
       "In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by
        serializing block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim
        which avoids user IO contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier
        which gives an option to user where it skips issuing cache_flush
        commands to underlying flash storage. And there are many bug fixes
        related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota ops, and minor
        direct IO.
      
        Enhancements:
         - add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
         - enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in
           LBA order
         - readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
         - enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if
           F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
         - enhance nat_bits behavior
         - set -o discard by default
         - set REQ_RAHEAD to bio in ->readpages
      
        Bug fixes:
         - fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
         - revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
         - fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests
         - correct handling errors given by quota-related failures
         - add many sanity check flows to avoid fuzz test failures
         - add more error number propagation to their callers
         - fix several corner cases to continue fault injection w/ shutdown
           loop"

      ipc/util.c: update return value of ipc_getref from int to bool · 2a9d6481
      Manfred Spraul authored
      ipc_getref has still a return value of type "int", matching the atomic_t
      interface of atomic_inc_not_zero()/atomic_add_unless().
      
      ipc_getref now uses refcount_inc_not_zero, which has a return value of
      type "bool".
      
      Therefore, update the return code to avoid implicit conversions.

      ipc/util.c: further variable name cleanups · 27c331a1
      Manfred Spraul authored
      The varable names got a mess, thus standardize them again:
      
      id: user space id. Called semid, shmid, msgid if the type is known.
          Most functions use "id" already.
      idx: "index" for the idr lookup
          Right now, some functions use lid, ipc_addid() already uses idx as
          the variable name.
      seq: sequence number, to avoid quick collisions of the user space id
      key: user space key, used for the rhash tree

      ipc: get rid of ids->tables_initialized hack · dc2c8c84
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      In sysvipc we have an ids->tables_initialized regarding the rhashtable,
      introduced in 0cfb6aee ("ipc: optimize semget/shmget/msgget for lots
      of keys")
      
      It's there, specifically, to prevent nil pointer dereferences, from using
      an uninitialized api.  Considering how rhashtable_init() can fail
      (probably due to ENOMEM, if anything), this made the overall ipc
      initialization capable of failure as well.  That alone is ugly, but fine,
      however I've spotted a few issues regarding the semantics of
      tables_initialized (however unlikely they may be):
      
      - There is inconsistency in what we return to userspace: ipc_addid()
        returns ENOSPC which is certainly _wrong_, while ipc_obtain_object_idr()
        returns EINVAL.
      
      - After we started using rhashtables, ipc_findkey() can return nil upon
        !tables_initialized, but the caller expects nil for when the ipc
        structure isn't found, and can therefore call into ipcget() callbacks.
      
      Now that rhashtable initialization cannot fail, we can properly get rid of
      the hack altogether.

      lib/rhashtable: guarantee initial hashtable allocation · 2d22ecf6
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      rhashtable_init() may fail due to -ENOMEM, thus making the entire api
      unusable.  This patch removes this scenario, however unlikely.  In order
      to guarantee memory allocation, this patch always ends up doing
      GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOFAIL for both the tbl as well as
      alloc_bucket_spinlocks().
      
      Upon the first table allocation failure, we shrink the size to the
      smallest value that makes sense and retry with __GFP_NOFAIL semantics.
      With the defaults, this means that from 64 buckets, we retry with only 4.
      Any later issues regarding performance due to collisions or larger table
      resizing (when more memory becomes available) is the least of our
      problems.

      lib/rhashtable: simplify bucket_table_alloc() · 93f976b5
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      As of ce91f6ee ("mm: kvmalloc does not fallback to vmalloc for
      incompatible gfp flags") we can simplify the caller and trust kvzalloc()
      to just do the right thing.  For the case of the GFP_ATOMIC context, we
      can drop the __GFP_NORETRY flag for obvious reasons, and for the
      __GFP_NOWARN case, however, it is changed such that the caller passes the
      flag instead of making bucket_table_alloc() handle it.
      
      This slightly changes the gfp flags passed on to nested_table_alloc() as
      it will now also use GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN.  However, I consider this
      a positive consequence as for the same reasons we want nowarn semantics in
      bucket_table_alloc().

      ipc: drop ipc_lock() · 82061c57
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
      an id number.
      
      There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
      of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.
      
      The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
      - ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
      - ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter
      
      ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
      but this is not obvious from the function name.
      
      Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper.  Thus, we can simply
      move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

      ipc/util.c: correct comment in ipc_obtain_object_check · 2e5ceb45
      Manfred Spraul authored
      The comment that explains ipc_obtain_object_check is wrong: The function
      checks the sequence number, not the reference counter.
      
      Note that checking the reference counter would be meaningless: The
      reference counter is decreased without holding any locks, thus an object
      with kern_ipc_perm.deleted=true may disappear at the end of the next rcu
      grace period.
