      rcu: Fix synchronize_sched_expedited() type error for "s" · 7fd0ddc5
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      The type of "s" has been "long" rather than the correct "unsigned long"
      for quite some time.  This commit fixes this type error.

      rcu: Make synchronize_rcu_expedited() use sequence-counter scheme · 543c6158
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it
      is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks
      piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer
      than necessary.  This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count
      functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things
      up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.

      rcu: Abstract sequence counting from synchronize_sched_expedited() · 28f00767
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to
      bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the
      sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full
      expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot.  These will be
      applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited().  These are defined in terms of
      underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(),
      which will be applied to _rcu_barrier().
      
      One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves
      is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact
      that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes.  In addition,
      the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change,
      where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change.

      rcu: Make expedited GP CPU stoppage asynchronous · 3a6d7c64
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
      at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
      rate.  This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
      long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
      quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
      up from the idle state.  This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
      with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
      when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

      Paul E. McKenney authored
      This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock()
      polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node
      tree.  The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing
      high-contention situations to be resolved quickly with reasonable levels
      of mutex contention.

      rcu: Rework synchronize_sched_expedited() counter handling · d6ada2cf
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
      work-already-done detection scheme.  This commit simplifies this scheme
      by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
      A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
      the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
      So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
      greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
      already happened.

      rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to stop_one_cpu() · c190c3b1
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(),
      which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,
      and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any
      of them stop.  This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which
      get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
      latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
      This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
      in turn.  This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
      on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
      code a little bit.
      
      Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
      and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
      new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

      rcu: Reset rcu_fanout_leaf if out of bounds · 13bd6494
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that
      is, less than RCU_FANOUT_LEAF or greater than the number of bits in an
      unsigned long), a warning is issued and execution continues with the
      out-of-bounds value.  This can result in all manner of failures, so this
      patch resets rcu_fanout_leaf to RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when an out-of-bounds
      condition is detected.

      rcu: Shut up bogus gcc array bounds warning · 032dfc87
      Alexander Gordeev authored
      Because gcc does not realize a loop would not be entered ever
      (i.e. in case of rcu_num_lvls == 1):
      
        for (i = 1; i < rcu_num_lvls; i++)
      	  rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + levelcnt[i - 1];
      
      some compiler (pre- 5.x?) versions give a bogus warning:
      
        kernel/rcu/tree.c: In function ‘rcu_init_one.isra.55’:
        kernel/rcu/tree.c:4108:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
           rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + rsp->levelcnt[i - 1];
                     ^
      Fix that warning by adding an extra item to rcu_state::level[]
      array. Once the bogus warning is fixed in gcc and kernel drops
      support of older versions, the dummy item may be removed from
      the array.

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
      thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
      out the list pointers and removed it.
      
      But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
      pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
      broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
      a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
      
      So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
      (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
      initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
      implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
      
      This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
      An.

       "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
        different areas.
      
        The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
        target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
        drivers tree-wide.
      
        There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
        se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
        completely lockless code-path.  It also removes the original
        hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.
      
        The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
        and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
        still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.

      dax: bdev_direct_access() may sleep · 43c3dd08
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      The brd driver is the only in-tree driver that may sleep currently.
      After some discussion on linux-fsdevel, we decided that any driver
      may choose to sleep in its ->direct_access method.  To ensure that all
      callers of bdev_direct_access() are prepared for this, add a call
      to might_sleep().

      block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices · bbab37dd
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      If a block device supports the ->direct_access methods, bypass the normal
      DIO path and use DAX to go straight to memcpy() instead of allocating
      a DIO and a BIO.
      
      Includes support for the DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT flag in DAX, as is done in
      do_blockdev_direct_IO().

      dax: Use copy_from_iter_nocache · 872eb127
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      When userspace does a write, there's no need for the written data to
      pollute the CPU cache.  This matches the original XIP code.

      dax: Add block size note to documentation · 44f4c054
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      For block devices which are small enough, mkfs will default to creating
      a filesystem with block sizes smaller than page size.

      When split BAR is enabled, the driver needs to dump out the split BAR
