      drm/i915/bdw: Handle forcewake for writes on gen8 · ab2aa47e
      Ben Widawsky authored 
      GEN8 removes the GT FIFO which we've all come to know and love. Instead
it offers a wider range of optimized registers which always keep a
shadowed copy, and are fed to the GPU when it wakes.

How this is implemented in hardware is still somewhat of a mystery. As
far as I can tell, the basic design is as follows:

If the register is not optimized, you must use the old forcewake
mechanism to bring the GT out of sleep. [1]

If register is in the optimized list the write will signal that the
GT should begin to come out of whatever sleep state it is in.

While the GT is coming out of sleep, the requested write will be stored
in an intermediate shadow register.

Do to the fact that the implementation details are not clear, I see
several risks:
1. Order is not preserved as it is with GT FIFO. If we issue multiple
writes to optimized registers, where order matters, we may need to
serialize it with forcewake.
2. The optimized registers have only 1 shadowed slot, meaning if we
issue multiple writes to the same register, and those values need to
reach the GPU in order, forcewake will be required.

[1] We could implement a SW queue the way the GT FIFO used to work if
desired.

NOTE: Compile tested only until we get real silicon.

v2:
- Use a default case to make future platforms also work.
- Get rid of IS_BROADWELL since that's not yet defined, but we want to
  MMIO as soon as possible.

v3: Apply suggestions from Mika's review:
- s/optimized/shadowed/
- invert the logic of the helper so that it does what it says (the
  code itself was correct, just confusing to read).

v4:
- Squash in lost break.

      Merge tag 'v3.12' into drm-intel-next · 7f16e5c1
      Daniel Vetter authored 
      I want to merge in the new Broadwell support as a late hw enabling
pull request. But since the internal branch was based upon our
drm-intel-nightly integration branch I need to resolve all the
oustanding conflicts in drm/i915 with a backmerge to make the 60+
patches apply properly.

We'll propably have some fun because Linus will come up with a
slightly different merge solution.

Conflicts:
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_crt.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ddi.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h

All rather simple adjacent lines changed or partial backports from
-next to -fixes, with the exception of the thaw code in i915_dma.c.
That one needed a bit of shuffling to restore the intent.

Oh and the massive header file reordering in intel_drv.h is a bit
trouble. But not much.

v2: Also don't forget the fixup for the silent conflict that results
in compile fail ...

      lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page · 3d77b50c
      Ming Lei authored 
      Commit b1adaf65 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:

 - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
   block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
   finally

 - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
   on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.

 - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
   mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
   slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.

Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

      mm: memcg: fix test for child groups · 696ac172
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
not.

Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
memcg callers.  This results in the following splat when e.g.  enabling
hierarchy mode:

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160()
  CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5-00117-g83f11a9c-dirty #18
  Hardware name: LENOVO 3680B56/3680B56, BIOS 6QET69WW (1.39 ) 04/26/2012
  Call Trace:

In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
modify inheritable attributes interactively.  Racing with deletion could
mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem.  Racing with addition is handled
just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

      mm: memcg: use proper memcg in limit bypass · 3168ecbe
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Commit 84235de3 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the
allocator") allowed __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to bypass the limit if they
fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge.  But because the main test
case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer
kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when
bypassing the limit, and not NULL.  This will corrupt whatever memory is
at NULL + percpu pointer offset.  Fix this quickly before problems are
reported.

      vfs: decrapify dput(), fix cache behavior under normal load · 358eec18
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      We do not want to dirty the dentry->d_flags cacheline in dput() just to
set the DCACHE_REFERENCED flag when it is already set in the common case
anyway.  This way the first cacheline of the dentry (which contains the
RCU lookup information etc) can stay shared among multiple CPU's.

This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches
merged during the merge window.

Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path
and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function
entry/exit overhead.
