       "A mixed bag of fixes and updates for the ghosts which are hunting us.
      
        The scheduler fixes have been pulled into that branch to avoid
        conflicts.
      
         - A set of fixes to address a khread_parkme() race which caused lost
           wakeups and loss of state.
      
         - A deadlock fix for stop_machine() solved by moving the wakeups
           outside of the stopper_lock held region.
      
         - A set of Spectre V1 array access restrictions. The possible
           problematic spots were discuvered by Dan Carpenters new checks in
           smatch.
      
         - Removal of an unused file which was forgotten when the rest of that
           functionality was removed"

      swiotlb: silent unwanted warning "buffer is full" · 05e13bb5
      Jean Delvare authored
      If DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN is passed to swiotlb_alloc_buffer(), it should be
      passed further down to swiotlb_tbl_map_single(). Otherwise we escape
      half of the warnings but still log the other half.
      
      This is one of the multiple causes of spurious warnings reported at:

      Revert "sched/numa: Delay retrying placement for automatic NUMA balance after wake_affine()" · 789ba280
      Mel Gorman authored
      This reverts commit 7347fc87.
      
      Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show
      a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling
      active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent.
      The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance
      if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled,
      the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent.
      
      Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested,
      using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new
      numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a
      revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine
      and socket count.
      
      The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby
      wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the
      appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where
      a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did
      not apply.  This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke
      all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that
      specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately,
      but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However,
      the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious,
      it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.
